Champions League Contention

I think Burnley can take a point from Spurs. Their form last month wasn't bad. Only lost one of 5...

Burnley went to Old Statford recently and gained a point.... against another "big 6" team?

They're still relevant according to the media..... Like Spurs... big 6 my arse

I'm confused, so in the unlikely event that Spurs get a point off City and we don't get a point in the last two games Spurs are going to go on a goal fest their last two games and win on goal average. I always look to the bookies odds to see what they believe, you will get enormous odds if you want to waste your money.

16/1.

He was clearly joking!

I'm hoping Tottenham are also thinking it's all about the Man City game. If they do, they'll drop points to Burnley.

I went to Palace last night as my neighbour had a spare ticket. Lots of criticism of a terrible Man Utd team but we shouldn’t forget how well Palace are playing. Hammered the Hammers, won at Anfield, beat Newcastle and then trounced the Redscum. If we need points there on the final day, we won’t get them. They are humming under their new manager and that front three looks superb. They were so direct, so up for it, so confident. If we play like we played against Chelsea, Lille (twice), Olympiakos and Brighton we will lose there, without a doubt.

The atmosphere in Selhurst was tremendous too. We need Man City not to fuck this one up for us. And yes, I’ve taken a healthy punt at 16-1.

Draw and they're down. Only a win can save Burnley - and that's if Forest don't get any points back on appeal.

I'm resigned to top 4 being all about the potential of Spurs beating City. I just can't see the present Villa squad taking a point from either Liverpool or Palace.

On current form, Burnley are a solid lower mid table outfit, not relegation certainties. They also have the added incentive of knowing a win vs Spurs gives them a final day shootout against Forest, with the winner staying up (assuming forest lose to Chelsea).

The point being, Burnley are about as far as it’s possible to be from “on the beach”, and have all the motivation in the world to go at Spurs. It probably won’t be enough, given they’re not that great even at their best, but I don’t think it’s the forgone conclusion some believe it to be.

Do we think that Spurs v City will likely be a City win?

[chrisw1]

The odds are massively stacked in our favour as we only need one result to go our way.

But with the state of our squad I'm not particularly confident of getting anything from Liverpool or Palace either.  I don't think you have to be a troll or a Bluenose to think that.

I also think Spurs will beat Burnley and have the ability to hammer Sheffield.  So yeah, IF they got a draw at Man City I'd be worried - but I think that's the most unlikely result of the lot.
