I was in my Boots coming away from the ground Thursday night I know we won but I wasn’t impressed with the performance and without Martinez we would have got tonked, but we have got him but he can’t save us all the time and I can see us going out next weekWith our injuries in key positions I can’t see us keeping them outThen other ridiculous results in the European games the coefficient look like it was going pear-shaped as wellDon’t see us getting anything out of Arsenal today either, so I thought this season was gonna dissolve into a disappointmentHowever, after yesterday’s results I’ve perked up a bitTottenham have a very very difficult next four games and even if we lose to Arsenal today which I fully expect it won’t be the end of the world as long as we can start picking points up in our remaining games

It's pressure but we can't let it get to us.I think the pressure is always felt more when you are the ones being 'chased'. The pressure to win becomes more intense and you just want the season to end. When you are the ones chasing though, you look forward to every game and you want as many as possible.

What has happened Spurs? That high intensity 'Angeball' catching up with them later in the season? Looking at even their bench yesterday v Newcastle, they looked far stronger on paper. But they were so flat and Newcastle bullied them at their ease. Man United are a dreadful team, no surprise with their result.

I said at Christmas they're going to be bollocksed playing like that come the run in, and that's without the additional games we've had to play.We're going to come off the ropes like Ali and cut them down.
