Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
That's a nice positive from a gloomy week. Beat the Chavs and we confirm top 3 
Totally agree with that. Gonna be a blast
( unless City drop out of top 4 and Liverpool win the Europa & we go into melt down)
I don't think that's an issue now. For us to finish 4th and City below, Man Utd need to overtake us, almost impossible due to GD.
If we finish fourth it could only be with City ahead of us, so them winning the CL would be irrelevant.
It won't have moved above United yet.
Not while Spurs could technically turn the ball into their own net 30 times and lose all three games.
Edit: and I say this as someone who knows it's essentially in the bag - don't get me wrong!
Sorry forgot it could go Spursy and Rooney will smash 20 goals in 3 games, whilst we lose all three of ours and concede 10 and score none.It won't have moved above United yet.

time to update?
TOP 15!!
Going to be good to see that green line pass chelsea in a few weeks time
Head still banging!
Hope we've now gone past those Chav wankers. Sex Fibreglass being completely classless saying he did not want us to win the league. You're a professional footballer, not some fan and lets be honest you were a Woolwich leg-end but went to their second most hated rivals.
I don't want us to be loved like fairytale Leicester, but some acknowledgement that we are the best side in the league please.

spot on.Remember 09/10? We managed to do this:
We had a great year and qualified for the champions league, but still only ended up with a goal difference of +26.
Three points guarantees third in fact.
This. How are people not getting this.
Man U have to score 28 goals and win every game in order to finish above us.
City need to win both of their remaining games to finish above us, with us only needing two points from three games to finish above them.
So unless we somehow manage to not win one of our remaining games, we don't really need to worry about fourth spot. Realistically we're pretty much already past the qualifiers.
The only real threat is the scum leapfrogging us into second, which we need 5 points to prevent, assuming the scum win both remaining games (they'll almost certainly get at least three points against Villa). So a win and two draws or two wins. I think if we can get at least a point tomorrow that threat will be reduced, but I'd really like three points just to re-establish the gap.

That's not how it works. Thanks for playing though.
Exactly. I forgot who said it yesterday, but despite how anyone feels about the game, that one point could prove infinitely valuable. I have gone from unbelievably nervous to much more confident now that we'll retain 2nd after looking at the table and games left. It's not that I'm confident, just feeling better and I want two strong wins still.
