The chances of them going down are still very slim - not because they're not dreadful (they demonstrably are), I'm just not sure they're quite as dreadful as the two teams who would BOTH have to go above them.

Form would suggest otherwise.

Leeds: 9 points from previous 9 games.
West Ham: 14 points from previous 9 games.
Forest: 10 points from previous 9 games.

Tottenham: 2 points from previous 9 games.

I'm not sure there's any reason to think that Spurs won't go down other than the vague "but it's Spurs, so obviously they won't *actually* go down" feeling that probably applied to us, Newcastle, Leeds etc.

It looks like Tudor would take them down if he stays, and the short-term options look similarly bleak if (when) Tudor is booted out.

As others have said, a lot will hang on that Forest game. And if it were happening right now I reckon Forest would be more up for that fight than Spurs would.

Just as well our points-accrual in the previous 3 months was championship-winning. Presume after Spurs, our form is the worst in the last 9 games.

14th according to Transfermarkt.

And we're 17th from the last 9 games. Ahead of Wolves on goal difference. Just as well the form table doesn't come down to head to head  :)

Transfermarket does it by game weeks so Wolves have an extra game.

On recent and medium term form Spurs are doomed to relegation. I think all right minded people are praying it happens.

I don't believe in God, but I'm praying anyway. It can't do any harm.

Rubbernecking at Spurs fans' talk - apparently one of their players has been pretty open with the rest of the squad about how he's fine with Spurs going down, as it'll make it easier to get a move elsewhere in the summer.

Just the sort of esprit de corps that you want at the moment.

It'd be fucking hilarious if that turns out to be Gallagher.

I've being praying for the last 69 years that we'll win the FA Cup again in my lifetime and still believe in God.

Lyon losing to Celta Viga, so hopefully good news for the various people who strangely think we should be particularly worried about them.

I’m watching it and whilst Lyon are very good in possession with smooth passing etc there no penetration. They also look very vulnerable to counter attacks.

Not as good as us. As likely as anyone else to win it, if we don't.
