Bring on spurs, no reason at all why we can't beat them.

It would be nice to get a win that nobody (well, those outside of the club) was counting on.

No reason at all.

Apart from the fact we're not very good, and they're much better than us.

Win today and you'd have been confident we could've finished the job before May 24th like in previous seasons.

I can't see us being safe going into the last day this time, we've rode our luck the past few seasons considering some of the situations we've been in.

Right now I would sign up to being a point clear of Burnley and a few others going into the final game.

We'll win on Saturday and the world will be a beautiful place. You mark my words.

Neither of the full backs who played tonight are full backs. Lowton should have played from the start, and although I never thought I would say this, so should Baker. There is obviously plenty of fight in the team which gives some hope. A point on Saturday is a possibility but it also needs two wins from somewhere.

At least there is hope when before Sherwood there was only despair.

Bacuna was a big threat in the first half and then seemed to pick up an injury which stopped him storming forward and led to his substitution.

Pretty lucky to beat LCFC at home and were pretty awful against Burnley.It will be much like tonights game as they look appalling in defence much like us.

Also now need to think of teams running out of things to play for.West Ham and Newcastle are 2 who are likely to be giving up some points to teams around us (hopefully West Ham are that generous when we play them too)

Have you guys not seen our record v Spurs lately, pretty sure over the last 5 years it's actually worse than against Man. United if that's even possible!

On tonight's evidence I don't see us keeping Kane and Eriksen out.

It was more the tactical change that blocked him off

He's our best crosser there's no doubt about that

With Their defence we might score a few though

I disagree. Lowton is a better crosser but Bacuna is more able to beat a man.

Bacuna did well going forward, he just ran out of steam, hence the change.

Don't start me off on that little weasel. Have you heard his whiney whinging little voice too? Makes Beckham sound like Mister T.  My son had to tell me to calm down when he came on for England the other night.  Can't stand players trying to get someone sent off like he did, especially when you're a fucking nobody like him who thinks he's billy big time because he plays for them.

The problem is not scoring. It's keeping the damn ball out of our net. I'd say we'd beat Tottenham if we had four players at the back we could rely on. But QPR had some very pedestrian wing options and we looked like conceding every time they came forward. Kane will have dozens of chances to score that twentieth goal Match of the Day want him to get.

Yep, my blood was boiling that day as well.

Imagine Mason against Benteke in the car park afterward
