Would not be surprised to see Spurs beat us next weekend which would make things "interesting" in a really shitty way.

Win at Burnley instead then. We'll be okay.

Yes but not happy to have lost 11 league games already this season now, going forward this has to change.

Have you written off next week already?

No was more a comment about next season. Feel we need to both become harder to beat but at the same time add more attacking variety to our play.

That would be unacceptable on a whole load of levels - if we don’t actively support the push to get Spurs down we should be fined.

Every time we start saying how good we are, start the self congratulary pats on the back, we're going to do this, or do that, we are aiming big, we want third etc, we seem to fuck things up.  I honestly much prefer it when we are tell the word to fuck off and mind their own business.

An away league win? We don't do those over the last few months.

I reckon we'll go into the last 2 games needing something to be sure, or still hoping on others being shit.

Yes. Our players have underdog mentalities, which is fine as far as it goes (it’s got us pretty far) but this group won’t win anything.

I don’t think I could actually deal with that again.

I know. There is something to be said for jeopardy as its a bit boring otherwise, but f**k me, I’d kill for a bit of casually drifting to the CL and a good if fortunate 3-0 away win at Forest

Wolvertrampton are an utter disgrace.

Had they held their nerve a bit longer I'm not sure Tottingham would've even turned up next week.

As it is, can see them fired up now and might scratch at least a point.

Might still do us - providing we beat Burnley away.

Win at Burnley, like at Wolves?
