The race for 86 points

[mephitis]

I never did find a toilet, so had to urinate somewhere at random in the stadium and got told off by the police. Halcyon days. Why don't they put up signs?

You mean like a Blue Plaque, "Bullet graced us with his presence here"?

Bullet tinkled here.

 

[Bullet]

I noticed last week in Seville that they had a sign for the toilets with "Servicios" or something, so I probably just thought it was a Service area, staff only or something.

Who knows. I wish I had attacked Alan Smith, verbally or urinally

Think Man C have a pretty decent chance of getting 5 wins - they have an easy run-in. We have to be confident of 1 win and 3 draws from 6 games though...

Thanks, was just going to ask this.

We can still go 6th by losing all of our games, while everyone else top 6 win all of theirs.
We can go 5th by winning one game, while everyone else top 6 win all of theirs.

Not going to happen though, we are going to finish strongly. Starting with crushing the scum.

 

[Cochise]

FWIW Luka, UTD and Arsenal still have to play eachother, so one of them won't be hitting their max point's total. A draw between the two would make 77 points 4th place.

This is what I find funny

We have the best form of any team in Europe i believe yet our looking at city winning every game and us winning 1 as a start point

Come on man.... we should be confident of winning every game now

 

[indospurs]

le wenger will get his lads up for the NLD, jeez we need to smash 'em. I am still tinkled at the loss at wemberlee last weekend, but f it this is the last NLD at WHL.

A Win, 3 points - and 5 unreplied goals please ! Not too much to ask, n'est pas ? I know it's what we would all love to see for the last time at our dear Home. I just want to see us win all our remaining games.

 

[Yiddo]

If my calculations are correct, 2 more wins guarantee's us a top 4 finish.

Zut farkin' alors. Preparez-vous pour les celebrations.

As a man struggling to learn French up here, you have both my gratitude and my dismay - gratitude because I got a bit of practice, and dismay because the last place I want to be reminded about my morbid struggles with the past subjunctive conjugation of avoir is here on Glory-Glory.

Can't Emirates Marketing Project also get to 80 points if they win all their remaining games? I mean it's unlikely they'd usurp us on goal difference in this scenario but 3 decades of following Spurs have taught not to take anything for granted!

They can, so we need another 7 points to be absolutely sure. If we do get another six points it would seem very unlikely that we'll mess up the goal difference in the remaining three matches though. But then again, we've been following this team for too long, you never know!

It's Just a hangover from last year surely?

Nah

It's actually being an old school Tottenham fan

So many can't seem to see the changes in the side now as their used to the sexy way

Indeed... When we went 1-0 up against Southampton in the penultimate game of last season, I hubristically looked forward to spending the rest of that sunny afternoon on the High Road celebrating Tottenham's highest league finish in my lifetime then Steven Davis scored a brace for the first time in his career
