Champions League Contention

[PaulWinch again]

If we win two of our four games I think that probably puts it to bed. That would Spurs (subject to goal difference) would need to get something from 5 of their 6 games, with at least 4 of those games being wins. That’s not impossible but I’d say it’s highly unlikely.

[Footy-Vill]

It’s a shame we aren’t in Italy as I’m sure the offer of biscutto to our opponent t with nothing to play for (3 of the 4) might come in handy. Chelsea don’t want to do Spurs a favour surely.

Spurs have more money, are shadier than we are, and are cosier with the other Superduperclubs than we are, and so would be much more likely biscuit-dealers than we are.

The main issue these days seems to be who the VAR official supports !

[Louzie0]

He's going to have egg on his face when we finish third, isn't he.

I like this 👍

[Percy McCarthy]

Yeah, I meant "with Wolves" not "at Wolves".

Cheers.

Fixture congestion is obviously pretty common at this time of year, but usually it's because you've had to fit in a load of matches.

Therefore it is pretty ridiculous how Spurs, not in any European competition, knocked out of the League Cup in August and the FA Cup in January, will go from 15 days without a match to playing six times in 21 days.

Not complaining, obviously. But if it were us I'd be pretty put out that the calendar had dealt us that hand.

A win for Arsenal on Sunday officially puts us out the title race.

COM'ON you SPURS.

Orrr, I can't believe the London PL mafia have conspired to secure their beloved Tottingham a two-week rest to recharge before their final few games.

I think this is the 2nd time its happened to them. But even with the rest that amount of games (and tough ones) in that space of time is a big big ask. If they win all their remaining games then we can't say they dont deserve 4th

I reckon Spurs would have preferred the games spread out rather than 15 days off and then a flurry of games.

Indeed - I suspect that is very hard to manage.

We definitely can if we win all ours.

[OCD]

You only have to look at what we've done this week...Monday/Tuesday - players given 2 days off, Wednesday/Thursday/Friday to prepare for the game. And we had an intense spell of games to recover from which Spurs didn't.

15 days is definitely overkill.

[Percy McCarthy]

While we’re on the subject, there is a table somewhere ranking teams according to the least time off between games. We’re third I think. This season has already been a magnificent effort.

[PeterWithesShin]

Makes what we're doing even more impressive.

[Mellin]

Spurs have basically hadthe season off according to that. Loads of energy. Get cracking.
