Well good luck to Partick Thistle - but with regard to Tottenham, I think it is quite simple. We have to play Arsenal and Manchester United + a recovering Crystal Palace and not least, that perenial bogey team for us West Ham United.

So I think that even in the spectacularly unlikely event that Chelsea collapse (have you seen the dross they play in 5 of their last 6 games?) then we still wouldn't be able to bridge the gap.

I think a Europa League spot for us is secure though.......and maybe even scrape a Champions League place....possibly.


I can't actually get used to the idea that (a) it will take a momumental collapse for Spurs not to make the CL and (b) even then we will finish above Arsenal ... these things seem wrong.

One of the delights of Partrick is its a genuinely friendly ground, fully open on one side (if you stand on the canal bank you get a first class view of the game) and its the only Glasgow club that has no sectarian aspect to its support.

LOL. I understand. As humans we need our anchor points, our certainties, our rocks on which we can rely as life throws up its myriad variables on a daily basis. Arsenal finishing above us and in the top 4, while Spurs are well.... Spursy, are two of those anchors.

Mind you, as much as I may wish for a Chelsea collapse, I didn't want Chelsea to lose yesterday. Now all of a sudden we are favourites for the FA Cup semi-final! Harry Kane is apparently giving it the large about us beating them in the Semi-Final and this will lead to Chelsea mucking up their run-in....

Can we all just calm down please? Chelsea will beat us next week - and quite comfortably - as the Spursy team that took to the field in October and November will turn up at Wembley, and then Crystal Palace will take a point off us, Manchester United will beat us - as will West Ham and Arsenal - and we then have the usual nervy, will they-won't they get a Champions League spot end to the season.

yep, that is more or less my expectation too. Add on feeling downright *ugh* about actually wanting a classic Mourinho 'lets not play football today' tactic actually suceed ... its all gone so very wrong

oh - and apparently 'Brendan' was really a genius all along

fair pts, you could argue that in general Yorkshire teams have collectively under-performed in the post-war era. Leeds (horribly) in the early 70s being the only real exception.

Brighton, Plymouth and Portsmouth all promoted - Fulham creep into the play-off places (and not at the expense of Sheffield Wednesday) - Orient and Torquay (sorry Shunwick) give themselves chances to escape.

Indeed. Things could of course be worse but at the moment I find it hard to believe.

warspite1

Apparently he won't get paid if they go down but gets a bonus if he keeps them up.

Given that Rotherham are down and Wigan as good as gone, he needs to stay
3 points ahead of Blackburn (and 2 ahead of Nottingham Forest) to stay up. I think that should be relatively straightforward with 3 games to go.

There are 4, count'em, 4 games in London this season:

-- Sept. 24, Ravens vs. Jaguars at Wembley Stadium (9:30 a.m. ET)
-- Oct. 1, Saints vs. Dolphins at Wembley Stadium (9:30 a.m. ET)
-- Oct. 22, Cardinals vs. Rams at Twickenham Stadium (1 p.m. ET)
-- Oct. 29, Vikings vs. Browns at Twickenham Stadium (9:30 a.m. ET)

Times are USA Eastern time.

Hopefully the turf won't be too badly torn up by the uncouth colonial savages.

We now return you to your regular thread.

The games (or some of them) will hopefully be at the new White Hart Lane in a couple of years.

I know that feeling..... If Torquay can't stay up I hope Braintree do.

How about Norwich last night? No shots on target and won 2-0. Never seen that before
