Faded Jaded Semi Plastic SOB 1,017 Posted January 19, 2020 Many years ago we won at White Hart Lane 3-2 against a Spurs team that contained the likes of Hoddle, Ardiles, Archibald, Crooks, Perryman, Roberts etc (and a certain Mr Hughton) but we still got relegated, hope it is not an omen........

ROBFLECK 132 Posted January 20, 2020 It's been like many of the games this season. I just can't see it happening, but it happened against Man City and we performed well against other top sides... Here's hoping for another upset! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

West Ham 23 17. Watford 23 18. Villa 22 19. Bn'mth 20 20. Norwich 17 Big week this because in midweek it's - Villa v Watford Bournemouth v Brighton Leicester v West Ham So I guess we want home wins for Villa, Bn'mth and Leicester to keep the teams above us within reach. In that scenario and if we somehow manage to get three points ourselves, we would be three points from 17th place. 15. Brighton 25 16. Villa 25 17. West Ham 23 18. Watford 23 19. Bnmouth 23 20. Norwich 20 Yes, I know its all ifs and buts, but you never know - football is a funny old game..... I'd rather see draws for the Villa/Watford and Brighton/Bournemouth games. If we do fail to claim any points, I'd rather only drop 1 to those teams around us. Can make that up with 14 games remaining, whereas dropping 3 is obviously much more difficult. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Overrated, over paid 22 Posted January 20, 2020 3 hours ago, lake district canary said: Fair point 👍 Exactly! A point at Spurs would be a huge point, keeping momentum and all that! Possible. They will have a lot of the ball but against Boro mid week they were nothing special at all. Jose is under pressure, and unhappy squad and Erikson on his way out could be a good time to visit. Or possibly not 🙄 OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Making Plans 936 Posted January 21, 2020 We are due some justice and particularly against Spurs. The Pukki "offside goal the Harry Kane dive robbed us of 2 points. No Kane this time either so we have nothing to fear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In the bigger picture, Watford's recent form has been phenomenal and I can only see them continuing to move away from the bottom 3. I'd prefer a win for them, to keep Villa down there.

lake district canary 4,531 Posted February 1, 2020 15. Brighton 26 16. Bn'mouth 26 17. Villa 25 18. West Ham 24 19. Watford 23 20. Norwich 18 So now 7 points adrift again so disappointing today, but it was a point, one of the draws people have talked about that we need. Still need some wins to get us going! Next up Brighton v Watford, Sheff Utd v Bn'mth, Man City v West Ham, so those around us likely to drop points........oh.......and us v Liverpool.....a good match to win and would kick start us for the last few matches. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Feedthewolf 4,844 Posted February 1, 2020 "A good match to win"... yeah, it'd be pretty decent to beat a team that have only failed to win one single game this season. I know you're going to trot out the Man City game as your precedent, but come on! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That’s probably not correct figures but it’s incredibly close to that. It would make the Man City win look like an ordinary Saturday afternoon if we could pull it off!

I'm sure Farke will do just that. I know maths isn't your strong point Lakey, but our chances of winning this match are significantly lower than in any other match this season. I'm not saying they're invincible, I'm not saying we can't win. I'm just being realistic about our chances. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It will be incredibly difficult to avoid defeat. We will try everything to get something out of the game, but it's unlikely to be enough. No one is saying anything remotely close to the cringeworthy guff you've just finger-farted onto the message board. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
