5%Villa-Relegation...for Spurs

[Chipsticks]

will they qualify for europe at all?

Aslong as Man City win the FA cup the Europa League places will go to 5th and 6th, however if Stoke overcome them it will be only 5th place, and most likely Liverpool.

Please do correct me if I'm mistaken.

Don't see them having too many problems other than reducing their 40 man squad.

40 man squad? Crikey.

I bet their wage bill is enormous

*pulls up deckchair, opens bag of popcorn*

What kind of a freak eats popcorn in a deckchair? ;-)

It's been a long, long day. You know it's all a bit odd when you come to the football forum from OT for a break.

Consider yourself corrected. Stoke are in the Europa by virtue of Man City being in the Champions League

I don't trust myself to start posting in there on a regular basis, I'd get nothing done.

It's 100 times as infuriating as anything that goes on in here. Really.

It all make sense now. The Spurs wage references are just downers from OT aren't they?

[KevinGage]

Spurs didn't bet the farm trying to chase it to the same degree that Leeds (and Newcastle to a certain extent) did.

Redknapp was still talking about sell to buy constraints this time last year (funny how the press didn't mention that in every Tottingham related article).

[Villa'Zawg]

Now that the 4th CL place has become competitive with Liverpool, Spurs and Man City taking it in the last 3 season, is it time to consider a play-off for the last CL spot (or even 2). Maybe include the teams in the Europa league places and the FA Cup finalists?

[Colhint]

you mean like an FA Cup without L'arse, scum and chav's

[VillaSpen]

Spurs have got to trim their squad. They've currently got loads out on loan (Keane, Dos Santos, Bentley, Walker and O'Hara to name but a few) and they're paying astronomical wages to players such as Woodgate and King who barely manage 20 appearances combined most seasons. Apparently King is on 75, 000 a week!

[usav]

There's nothing at all to suggest Spurs will suffer the fate of Leeds.

I will say, though, that I reckon there's going to be an "after the Lord Mayor's show" feel to their season next year. No particular reasoning behind this, I just have a feeling they're going to have a much tougher season.

I agree, although I thought that this year after last season!

[bob]

Well, they have only won one of the last 12/13, which has seemingly gone by without too many noticing. I don't think they've beaten any of the bottom four all season either.

Only 'Arry could get away with that without beng ripped apart in the papers.

[Andy_Lochhead_in_the_air]

They wont do a Leeds, but they could do a Villa.

[darren woolley]

The key will be in the summer when other teams will be hovering around there players will they be able to hold on to them knowing that they wont be able to offer them Champions League football next season.
