Spurs are heading towards 2 wins in 8, 4 straight defeats, 1 clean sheet in 18 league games. They're not worth worrying about.

Really if they lose this one unless they beat citeh we  only need a point in last 2 i think

If they lose this one, and lose to City, we don't have to take another point, we've sealed it.

Draw at City and it would come down to GD unless we get one more point. Our GD IS looking good right now, but if they win big at Burnley or vs Sheffield it could be close. We need a big win from Liverpool (sorry) and a couple of straight reds wouldn’t be a bad thing, but I think that is possibly hoping for too much.

Thats the worry sheff utd and burnley leaking goals for fun. They could easily get 7 or 8 against them 2

What time is their kick off against Burnley? Hopefully Burnley still alive at that point?

I hope it doesn't come to down to who's the most Spursy or Villaesque, but it looks like it's going to.
True. I want to see another win this season.

Indeed, they need a point from either this game (looking less and less likely but not impossible), or at home against City, and then hope we lose our last two while they win their other two.  A LOT of things have to go their way to finish above us. 

We need the Liverpool result to stay the same as it is (currently 2-0 up), and if does, then we only need ONE of the following results to happen: City winning, us beating Liverpool, us beating Palace, Burnley getting something, Sheff Utd getting something.  ANY of those happening in those 5 games guarantees us 4th.

Obviously it's still possible for them to finish ahead of us, but if they lose today, we just need a 3-point swing to clinch it, either from us gaining 3 points or them dropping 3 points (or a combination of both), for us to finish 4th.

I'm gutted we couldn't do the business today, but honestly, is Spurs lose, we're actually in a better position than we were this morning, as we're still 7 points clear, but they have a game less to catch us.

I hate Liverpool. But I'm desperate for them to win. Villa matter more.

I still think we will finish top 4, and to be honest we could lose both games and still do it.

If not anything unreal happens to our team we dont get more points in the League this season and we wont get to the finale Europeas. As said this Liverpool up to three so we very most likely to get CL so I m relaxed and Very happy with CL which will happen if not anything unreal happens to the Spurs team.

3-0 down now.  So, I think we can safely say this is a zero-point game for them.  If this Liverpool comes to VP we're buggered in that game, so be it. 

The pressure will be on for Spurs against Burnley, they need a big win to keep their hopes alive.  And Burnely know anything other than a win, and they're relegated.  So they'll be hugely motivated to take it to the last weekend. It's just a shame they're mostly shit.

I think we'll cement 4th place next Tuesday, when City travel to Spurs and could possibly win the league (if Arsenal have lost to Man Utd)

What's best for Villa comes ahead of any other hatred or rivalry.  I'd be cheering Blues or Man U if the result benefits us.

Your boy Smirker said this a couple of weeks ago. People have underestimated just how truly shite Spurs are.

We might drop a point every other game, they are losing by three and four goals in every game. It's done and it was weeks ago.

Neither us nor them are winning another game this season. This is the way.

I'n guessing it omitted us from the potential finalists and has since been corrected.
