we gained 4 points on chelsea in the last 15 minutes.
looks a lot better with 5 point lead than 1 going to stamford bridge on saturday
and they do have to win
no way will they overturn the gap with the fixtures both sides have left
:ross:
Seriously can't believe people are still making these kinds of statements.
I thought Modric was outstanding tonight.
Erm... Arsenal still have to play Chelsea so one of them has to drop points? Is that a positive?
We looked down in the dumps when we finished 4th in 09/10 and managed to beat Arsenal, Chelsea and City away. No point counting our chickens when we've got 9 games left - it isn't over until it's over. The only game we have left against a team in the top 6 is Chelsea, right?
Come on you Spurs. Keep believing.
Man United lost at home to Blackburn not so long ago. Every team has a rough patch - it's how you respond to the bad results that shows what the team is made of. NINE games left - anything can happen. We're in fourth for fudge's sake, people are talking like we're back in the dumps in 10th place.yet we drew at home to a team in 11th....

The supporters, as well as the players, need to man the f*ck up.
Arse are having the luck at the moment... we are not! Perfectly good equaliser for Everton incorrectly disallowed for offside, don't play that well and walk away with three points. They won't have it all their own way for the the rest of season, and we will get some luck before the season's end. Fat lady has not sung yet, and 3rd is still very much on! Positive, positive, positive. We have stopped the rot, now time to get some luck for once versus the Chavs
However, Friedel is refusing to see the match in such all-or-nothing terms. "Football is not pressure," he said. "It might be for some, if you want to heap the pressure on then that's you as an individual person. But you play football, it's a game.
"We want to play well, we want to win but we all saw here [at White Hart Lane] last Saturday [when Fabrice Muamba suffered a cardiac arrest] what pressure was. I've got three kids and raising them is far more pressure than a football match.
"I don't think it's about holding your nerve, it's about going out and enjoying yourself and expressing yourself because those are the type of players we have. It's continuing what we've been doing all season long. Sometimes you can play very poorly and win a game and then nobody says anything.
"But we've been playing really good football without getting the results we want. I'm not concerned at all and we will go into the Chelsea game confident, expecting a good result."
