    Meh. Only Newcastle out of the current top 6 have won at that ground. It's ****ing difficult. The Newcastle results softens the blow of dropped points.

  2. We need to win the final two matches to guarantee 3rd. Can't keep relying on the misfortune of other teams.

  3. Or Young - or any Utd player in fact.

    In terms of the penalty - it was. I thought at first it was not, not a push but legs got tangled and Yossi was in front of his man - not throwing his leg at him.

  4. Onwards to the home game vs Norwich - that will be tough too.

  5. We had 17 shots 10 of which were on target compared to 6 and 4 for Stoke. Yet they and us share the spoils. We do need to make these opportunities count.

    Spurs have Blackburn,Bolton and I think Villa as their next three games. All of those are fighting for their lives, and Spurs have a shocking record at the Reebok.

    We dominated Stoke today and they defended really well to keep us out. We look good coming to the end of the season and i expect 3rd place with our current form. I can't recall seeing anyone have a bad game, evern Ramsey looked good. Song looked strong and composed on the ball, Benny and Rosicky looked good but ended up twisting a tad too much. RVP found it tough out there, maybe we should have brought Chamakh out to take the barage from their centre backs and feed RVP on the right? Our defence and keeper was solid too.

    Yes, Ramsey. That was one of his best games in a while. Really worked hard and kept it even in tight spaces. Just needs to build on it.

  11. Yeah, but I still think today's result means it will go right down to the West Brom away game. That is going to one nerve wracking afternoon.

    I knew it was bad, but wow. Also Kevin Davies loves to bully them.

    I think we will beat Norwich at home and Spurs will drop more points before the final game, so will Newcastle. Our better goal difference also gives us an advantage. So I think it won't come down to the last game.

    i think a win at Norwich woill be enoug because I can't see N'Castle beating Cahvski or Citeh
    And I think Spurs will drop points as well

    Yes, I think a win next match will do it, but we can get 4-6 points in those games. Stoke away was always going to be the toughest for us.

    The truest sign of whether we have had a failed season is if we do not have a St Totteringham's day.

    We will not fail.

  20. No not quite - after tomorrow Spurs still have 3 matches. They would need to lose tomorrow and against Bolton on Wednesday for St Totteringhams Day to come about this week.
