Let’s wait and see.This post suggests you think that we're going to pick up a similar number of points as Newcastle in our other matches and I'm sitting here looking at our remaining fixtures and seeing barely any points at all, let alone keeping pace with or gaining on those above us.
Code:Newcastle United - Tottenham Hotspur Tottenham Hotspur - Manchester United Liverpool - Tottenham Hotspur Tottenham Hotspur - Crystal Palace Aston Villa - Tottenham Hotspur Tottenham Hotspur - Brentford Leeds United - Tottenham Hotspur
Newcastle away... Forget about it - the atmosphere will be incredible (for them) and we're shit away.
United at home... Maybe. They'll be without both of their first choice centre backs but if we're going to cower in our own half for 90% of the match does it matter?
Liverpool away... Nope. We don't beat Liverpool at Anfield and we're shit away.
Palace at home... Hodgson has them out of the rut they were in, could go either way.
Villa away... Emery has them flying and we're shit away.
Brentford at home... Not seeing it but they're on a pretty awful run themselves.
Leeds away... We're shit away.
So when you say one match is going to decide it, it's fair to say I'm not seeing it. I think we'll struggle to hit 60 points.
We will get absolutely torn to shreds up there. If people think we still in a race for top 4 this game will truly affirm we are not. Liverpool are currently 9 points behind and they will finish above us.The Newcastle game will be the one that decides our hopes for Top 4.
No, we do not have to blame Levy for every shoestring broken, but blaming endless managers and booing players while Levy gets off relatively free of blame is ridiculous. He obviously has business nous and has built a fine stadium, but when it comes to the football side he is not up to it and needs to be called out on same.F*ck's sake, man. We're shit. We don't deserve 4th and we weren't going to get it, Conte or otherwise. If he'd stayed, we'd still be out of it by now and folks would be saying, 'kept with Conte when it was obvious the job wasn't getting done - horrendous leadership by Levy once again.'
We're in a bad place, and as the man at the top, he's got to take a big chunk of the blame. But do we have to put it on Levy every time a shoestring breaks?
A thread "race for 8th" might be more realistic.I am finding it incomprehensible that we are even in the discussion for top 4 this season. I really don't get how it has happened, we have been so awful all season. I know that Liverpool and Chelsea have underperformed but we just always look so poor, like a. team which should be fighting relegation especially when you watch the highlights from all the other matches. I suppose it basically boils down to the extra points Harry has won for us.
Tbh I can’t see a win coming for the next few weeks.
We have managed to nail that shut ourselves from within..Utd have just put the final nail in our top4 coffin..
They have only started really building in the last few years and not seemingly taking long to pass a Spurs team full steam in reverse with Levy at the wheel.Yet only 1 point ahead of our Crisis club.
Amazing.
Optimistic that Levy will allow the new manager to clear the decks he will want to spend as little as possible, thats why it's rumoured we're trying to tie up new contract for Dier.Not too bothered with that.... we don't buy the players to compete...we all want to be in it but we not setup to win trophies of that or the EL as an example.
Happy to get 8th.... have a fire sale and clear the decks. Bring in a manager who can build something.
I hope so, but nothing I’ve witnessed since the Southampton game leads me to believe we can turn it around. Looks bleak in my eyes. We have dropped points against the teams that looked easier in paper compared to the ones coming up.I know its very difficult to imagine.
But this is football, and things can change.
I think we're complete outsiders but if we manage to beat Newcastle, some how, fuck knows what it would do for our confidence in the remaining games.
Funny old game and all that.
