Funny, what would normally be a pint of bothered please guv, is now mildly interesting.

A hilarious quote on the comments under the article...

"Why not expand it further. Would it be possible for all the teams to have a chance at the three promotion spots. Perhaps they could play each other a couple of times through the year to see who is best overall."

Yea good one and not wrong, finishing 8th and being promoted?

Opta now has our odds of relegation at 52%. Forest 29%. Leeds and Spurs both 8%.

Our odds are improving and the rest are being sucked in.

[Mad Ferret]

That Man U game still annoys me. Fucking ref conjuring up extra minutes way beyond what should have been played during which they scored a fully undeserved wonder goal. 

Happened again last night didn’t it? Obviously I’m far from impartial but I can’t help but think the refs have been terrible towards us for most of the season. 

Didn't we have someone down for pretty much the first 2 minutes of added time?

[Manuel]

I expect us to get something at Villa. 

Hope we have a four or five point buffer going into the final four.

Fuck me, that's a bit optimistic, Sweep fella.

last 6 games:

Leeds have won once (5 pts)
Neither Spurs or Forest have won a game.
Spurs 2pts
Forest 3pts

we have 8pts from the last 6.

Pablo and Taty are essential to causing havoc among the opposition defence by closing down defenders and midfielders, enabling Bowen and Jimmy more space and time. 

My only worry we get battered by Man City, lose comfortably at Villa and then heads go down. 

Villa are in freefall, we go there with some form and momentum we can look to target a result 

City may pump us but we've responded well recently to the heartbreak against Chelsea and Man Utd.  The squad looks more together and more fight than the Spurs squad at the moment.

its the hope that kills you!!!

Yep our GD is worth another point to those around us.

[Come On You Irons]

We just have go win games. What happens happens. Winning is all that matters. 

No shit, Sherlock.

[Vexed]

win tonight and spurs will be safe i reckon. lot of pressure on a home game though.

every time i try and work it out i think 40+ points will be needed.

I'm convinced that 39 points keeps someone up this season, possibly not us though due to GD.

I reckon we win five games out of those remaining against Brentford, Everton, Leeds, Wolves and Palace. Would see us comfortably survive. 

Spurs are going down, lads. Mark my words. 

Winn all five of those and that would leave us on 43 points even if we lose the other four. I think we would all take that at this stage.

I just can't see us winning five out of nine games though. But then again, who saw us winning seven out of nine to keep us up in 2007.

If we do stay up this season it would be second only to 2007 in terms of a "great escape".

[Dick Shaftsbury]

Momentum is everything in a relegation battle and we have it. It's absolutely remarkable that we were 13 points behind them about ten games ago and we are now 1 point behind.

Would take a miracle for Spurs to turn things around, I really think they are gone if they lose tonight. And if you venture onto their forums, so do they. They are having a complete meltdown and its glorious.

[Rossal]

Clear City then there's 5 games which we have to get 9 points from minimum 

Villa A 
Wolves H
Palace A 
Everton H 
Brentwood A 

Sticks us on 37 with 3 to play.  Two winnable home games,  Villa in freefall and Palace is same level as Fulham.   4 huge games, hopefully take some form into Brentford

[Leonard Hatred]

Spurs are not gonna gan doon. 

Just can't see it.

It's between us and the TRICKY TREES.

[violator]

To think those cunts were going to be part of the inaugural "super league"...I hope Palace put 5 past them

[Sir Alf]

I’ll be pleasantly surprised if Spurs lose or even draw tonight. They have a decent enough squad even with all their injuries. They always get the luck when they need it. Goes back to the days when they got all easy home draws to win the FA cup twice !!  Their 2026 form is attrocious so surely that cannot continue?

Expect Palace to roll over tonight or VAR / ref decisions to go in their favour or some bizarre richochets to result in goals for them. Its Spurs they always get help from somewhere when most needed the jammy cvnts !!
