Come on Spurs... there are still 5 more matches, I think you can pass this deadly test.
Spurs fans please be a little patient.

They're the current bookies favorite to get relegated among the relegation bond candidates; Nottingham Forest, Westham and Leeds - the last time I looked before their last game, it was around 3x, now it's 1.83.

Maybe Daniel Levy was the only one keeping them in the league; the fans blamed him, he left them and they became more shit. Sometimes we don't know the value of what we have until we lose them. They might just end up being another Leicester City

I think there is a small chance we can do it too,,, but we need to keep winning or at least keep playing like we did the last 2 games, and then everything is also down to what happens to the teams above us.

We are like Chelsea fans now, patient and already accepted our fate, with a small hope in our hearts we can still make a big miracle.

Truth I guess,,, Arsenal did not know they had a great man in Arsene Wenger and wanted him out.

Nottingham Forest are pulling away from danger leaving Totteham and Westham to it; 5-0 today and they're 8 points from Totteham, 6 points from Westham - they only need one win and a draw from their next 4 to secure their slot.

Totteham better not screw up their next game - Wolves have nothing to lose, just pay them off to not show up

Too many problems at Chelsea but we can never go that low .

[goodpunt]

That was quite unexpected.....

Was Sunderland even trying or was Forest really that superior?
Never liked Forest but impressive how they showed up when it mattered the most over the last weeks.
Still rooting for Spurs but a possible derby between West Ham and Millwall next season would be tempting to attend

They want to secure their position even though they are still not doing well overall but this win will certainly make them feel more comfortable before the end of the season because their points allow them not to join the relegation race even though they are still quite chaseable.

Sunderland? What was that game? They seem to want to show that their dominance is extraordinary but it is a boomerang because the defense is not very good. They are not prepared for quick counter-attacks, the chemistry between players in defense is also quite poor and their aerial duels are not to be expected. This result is enough to make Nottingham Forrest comfortable to stay in the Premier League next season.

Yes, today is must win and we have to find a way to score 2 goal cushion minimum,,, West Ham already gifted us with a draw so now to be realistically logical they are our only competitors left. Leeds and Nottingham Forest I believe are too far ahead to make many mistakes.

I guess if we are going down at least Coventry and Southampton are no longer there,,, I do not think we could beat those teams now  

Still 0-0

Fascinating at the bottom of the league today, one moment West Ham were pulling away from Spurs, then Spurs scored and West Ham were drawing so Spurs were out of the relegation area and then West Ham went abead again to go above Spurs. Lots more drama remaining for the third and final relegation place I think.

Good but unimpressive win for Arsenal to go top again, big but also unimpressive win for Liverpool to move closer to a CL spot too.

There was a bit of a breather for Spurs after the win at Wolves even though it was a hard fought one... it didn't change anything as West Ham won at home.

The worst case scenario is... Spurs lose again to Aston Villa, then West Ham lose to Brentford, this is really unfortunate in Spurs' current position, only a miracle happens to change this team to survive in the Premier league.

I see, a 0-5 at home for Sunderland is just too embarrassing.... I wouldn't have been surprised if Spurs and West Ham accused Sunderland of destroying the integrity of the competition

Fortunately Spurs and West Ham also won - so the relegation battle remains nerve-wracking just like the title race.
I hope for a thrilling season finale with many late goals

It's only natural that given what happened and Nottingham's easy win, there would be more of a backlash, especially from the fans, that it would be considered unnatural

But even so at this time I think the possibility for the rest of the match will actually be more interesting especially seeing the opponent that Nottingham Forrest will face could be a stumbling block for them.

4/5 matches before the end of the season but the London turmoil is still hot Arsenal are busy how they can restore what they have defended at the beginning of the season, Tottenham are busy with how they get out of the relegation zone while Chelsea I am quite confused to describe their management as what it is now.

I hope not, we’ve been terrible all season, we’re only in 4th place because the quality of the league is so low this season. Alonso is right there waiting, I will be really disappointed if Slot is still at the club next season.

Almost, almost. We almost did not win,,, Everton almost helped us, but we are still almost there. This was Wolves,,, already relegated and our supposedly easiest job but a win is a win, we did not concede, did not stop attacking and nobody got sent off  

One day at a time Lord,,, let us make it thru

While providing entertainment for rest of you guys

At the very least, the Liverpool team is managed by someone who holds a Pro Licence; current Chelsea interim manager does not. 

I was wondering if he was sacked at the end of this season, would it still be considered "early termination" to trigger the clause in his contract to pay him full compensation?

As much as I enjoy it when Liverpool suffers, the truth is that they need a better manager; the league is more exciting when more than two clubs compete for the title; the two-horse race is becoming boring..

Indeed.....Chelsea is just too confusing how they were able to win the FA Cup semi final yesterday.....well I don't know

Regarding Forest I still think they will struggle after the Europa League semifinals.
I'm still wondering if Marinakis will give the order to target Champions League via Europa League victory at any price.

They will definitely target it as much as they can, no team will enter a competition that gives them a chance to play UCL football and not give 100% on the pitch, it may not be enough, but they will give their all.

They have a comfortable 5 points cushion and while their remaining games are tough, so are all games at this stage in the season. I fancy them to remain in the EPL next season, but I do not see them winning the Europa League. If they do, it will be ironic for a team in relegation battle in the Premier League to win the Europa League back to back.

It was a really crazy round in the relegation zone, i mean everyone winning and Leeds who seems like it was "saved" before the start of the round is again close to the fight and the fire can melt them. Also a few other temas which were in the "safe" zone of above 40 points are gonna start to feel some heat behind them, i dont think they are in serious trouble but they are gonna have to paid some attention to it.

They will definitely target that now because looking at the conditions to get back to a decent position for them is very difficult so their target is the final and even the champion in this competition.
The Europa League semi-final is interesting because it will bring together 2 EPL representative clubs and honestly I expect Nottingham Forrest to make it to the final and win because it will be quite interesting to see Tottenham's case last season happen again this season :Ds

The scheme becomes ideal with 6 EPL club representatives in the Champions League if Nottingham Forrest can make history in the Europa League and Aston Villa can maintain its current position but this ideal can only happen if the semi-final belongs to Nottingham and of course this is not easy even though they know the strength system of Aston Villa but in the current condition Aston Villa is a little better.

Their owner is someone who loves to believe his team is one of those elite teams, but the reality is they are not - I don't need anybody to tell me this, but I already know he is going for both, which I believe is unrealistic and could lead to their relegation; two bad results and they're back where they started.

If I were the owner, my first aim would be to stay in the Premier League since it would be foolish to win Europa and play CL games from the championship - they should focus on surviving and staying in the league as they do not have enough squad depth to achieve both.


Are you still winning the league? We talked about how badly your team play football and it's been downhill since every team learnt how to defend Arteta corner kicks. 

[darxiaomi]

One of the worst errors Totenham management always commit is to think because they are between the so called "big six" they are gonna be between the top teams of the leagues always and most of the teams are gonna respect them, but what they didnt realize is nobopdy gives a shit about their status, all the people see them as one of the most coward teams in history and they behave like a little team not like a big one proud to be in the big six.

Man Utd vs Brentford is just about to kick off, I don’t think we will see any surprises here. I know Man Utd lost at home recently to Leeds but I think they will win tonight.

Would be good if they lost because it would make Liverpool move above them into 3rd on goal difference before we face them at Old Trafford on Sunday.
