We’re on 31 points at the moment. There’s 45 up for grabs. The year Leicester won the league, 66 secured 4th place for City and a total in the mid 60’s regularly secured 4th place back in the 1990’s. This looks like a season where a total in or around 65 or 66 could secure 4th.
The home game with City will tell a lot. If we don’t beat Norwich at home, it’s clearly gone. City are next after Norwich. City are going through the motions a bit once a team doesn’t roll over and put it up to them, as evidenced again by Crystal Palace yesterday. The league is gone from them, they’ll comfortably secure Top 4, probably 2nd. Pep and a lot of players probably going end of season and the only real unfinished business is the European Cup and the Real Madrid tie in February.
We’re shit, I accept that but all the other contenders are shit. We’ll probably have to win 11 or 12 of our remaining 15 games to do it. Reality is we’ll probably win 6 or 7 of our remaining 15 and post a points tally in the mid 50’s.

Fucking shocking from the points and position we were getting to this mid table rubbish.
We are quite shit to be honest mate even struggling to beat many of the so called lesser sides embarrassing
We're still slightly better than our recent form would make you think. We badly need a striker (DM too, but I don't think we'll get one this window)... things should get better. To be fair, I don't really care much where we finish this season as long as we don't get European football or don't get relegated. We need to improve tremendously for next season, this should be our focus now. This and the FA Cup.
Agree I expect only gedson in no way will levy push the boat out and actually get people in we need, I also expect the club to finish about 8th and be out of the cup soon enough probably an embarrassing defeat to top it all off.

For me, the cup exits always hurt more than anything. It's incredibly hard to win the title, so our best shot is one of the domestic cups. It's not a tragedy if we don't get top 4 this season. Losing to Colchester felt worse than not getting top 4 would.
I’m moving towards that view too......not another club in the league wouldn’t buy at least a few short term players to cover the injuries we have, I simply won’t buy into any excuses this window for not doing just that.....tick tock tick tock....
For me any big club worth it's salt should aim to win the EPL however we don't win trophies like that, I like the way Jose wants to win everything no matter what trophy he takes it seriously and I like that because I want to win everything too it was a pity that poch never treated the other competition's with respect.
Even if we bring on loan with an option to buy in the summer, I think loan to buy is the way forward as if they flop we aren’t stuck with trying to shift players on to get them off the books and if they turn out a success we end up buying a decent player
That would be the greatest thing to ever happen to me as a Spurs fan. No cup (not even CL) would top that. Considering we haven't won it since '61, I'm not too optimistic about it. I still think our best chance was in the season when Leicester won it. Hopefully, we can win it sooner rather than later, but that's more like wishful thinking.
Winners mentality, hopefully this is feeding down to the players, and those that it doesn’t get rid , we need Jose to be ruthless, as much as I loved poch his biggest flaw was picking players on past performances
That year the club never had the belief and still we don't have a winning mentality probably because will.
The club from chairman down do not possess that mentality it's about grossing pounds not trophies.
Possibly, if the right guy is available.
Taking Kane for example, we have been without him for a substantial period during the past 2 seasons, now it’s 3 including this one, there have been restrictions in place during the previous 2 that I can understand as to why we haven’t went after another high end striker, but this season will now be a right off over the coming months for many reasons but mainly because we don’t have a striker from now until the end.
I for one don’t fancy playing the remainder of the CL without an out and out striker and at some point we will meet a big gun in the FA cup, Liverpool will be trying for the treble, and City will be trying for the treble Cups as just two examples, Fat Frank would become a legend this season with a top 4 finish and FA cup , as would Ole....those are just 4 clubs we need to avoid of the top of my head
.....Failure to give us “a fighting chance” would be criminal in my book, and I would feel the club don’t really care what I think if we trudged along the remainder of this season “hoping for the best”.....
This will be the point I turn on Levy, no ifs and no buts,
you Levy will be the cry
If you look back at the past how often have the club left us short on team strength when the season starts, many is the time when he seems happy to lose games whilst dithering around waiting on cheap deals.Possibly, if the right guy is available.

Yes and No, there have been genuine reasons up until this summer, well at least the benefit of the doubt can be given....but no more messing around, ambition and desire must be shown now.
