Yes.

They have gone. Arsenal and Chelsea for third and fourth now. Wilshere's 3k is safe imo.

That was awful today.

Everton handed them the intiative, and did nothing themselves, but never looked in any danger.

shot to bits, they will win maybe 1 or 2 of last run of games. The manager has lost direction of what got them to 3rd in the first place. manager is 100% to blame if theydont get top 4 and this is the choice for ingerlund Laugh

Of course they haven't broken Spurs.  They've played well in both the last two games, just not got the breaks.  Punters overreact to everything, Spurs win a few games and they are gonna win the league, lose a few games and their season is gonna fall apart and finish 5th.  This is why most punters lose money, I'm surprised to see someone like you being fooled by randomness Tober, unless this is a tongue-in-cheek thread.

i think totenham will make it to top 4 only because u can not trust arsenal and chelsea to have a strong form every week

I think the only really awful performance was Arsenal away. I think Utd, we played ok but were poor in defence. Today, we were very unlucky not to come away with a point.

If it had been 3 performances like the Arsenal away game, I'd be more worried. But I think we will play well enough to finish in the Champions League places. Finishing ahead of Arsenal is in danger of not happening though. Sad

Could do with a favour from Newcastle on Monday!

I am happy to match Wilshere's 3k bet on here.  The money is up now.  I assume you will snap this up straight away, given your comments above...unless you are full of sh1t, that is?

ha ha , yes it is partially .I still rate then 3rd best team, and have only slightly lowered my rating of them, as i don't react too much to a couple of games

However i thought they had real momentum going into the Arsenal game, everyone seeing them as the much better team, and the expectation was that an  Arsenal win was unlikely and would be hard fought if it happened at all.

I didn't see the United game but i do not think they played at all well today .Everton were quite comfortable apart from Saha at the end.

There have been particulary important matches in the past where teams have been playing superbly, seemingly with every reason to get better still, and then played suprisingly badly at the crucial moment, and never picked up again.

Liverpool looked sensational last few months of 1995/96, had a young team with their best years ahead , then played United in The Cup Final which was seen as an oppurtunity to show they were on the same level . Awful performance, and just never looked the same again .

Then Arsenal going for the 50th unbeaten league game in 2004 ......

5 star thread

T*ottenham are mentally broken there's no doubt. The players all know the manager want's out, they've run out of steam but they gave it a good run, but when the big teams come calling, it's a bit too much. maybe being 3rd got to their heads.

yes,the mental aspect is also one which is overlooked by statisticians etc

tobermory, tbh the result that has really thrown the cat amongst the pigeons was arsenal stealing that win at anfield. you gained about 4 points on chelsea and 3 on spurs last weekend.

i only had us down for 2 points from these 3 games we've lost. as was always likely it will come down to the very winnable run in spurs have.
By:

When: 10 Mar 12 20:40
Knight Rider, I have every confidence we will not only finish above spurs but we'll do so by at least 7 points, I don't do season long bets - my money right now is tied up in Indian Wells.
ps there's no need to block, I don't recall being either rude or abusive not my style hth.

Coachbuster football markets are the most efficient of all sports and the current mental aspect/state not reflected in season long stats can be an edge when betting agreedGrin

You don't have to do the full 3k Mesmerised, just do what you can afford.  If you refuse to have any sort of a bet, after saying you think Arsenal will finish 7pts higher, obviously you have lost all credibility.

lol all of my old spurs chums are coming out to play - had a bad day by any chance?Laugh

Knight Rider - think about what you just said and read this - 2 weeks ago you were 10 points ahead - by monday you'll be 1 point ahead, with 10 games to go, and spurs under pressure, it's hardly inconceivable we'll finish above by 7 points, you have no experience in finishing so high, they must be feeling abit dizzy down at the Lane.

There are no money issues here - I don't do season long bets, simple as.

I still think spurs finish 3rd and arsenal and Chelsea fight it out for 4th. I do feel though that the gap closing has shown that if we hadn't had all 4 full backs out for half the season we'd be well ahead

I agree it will be close Maf.  Spurs are favs imo, with extra points on the board and some tough fixtures out the way, but not huge favs.  Was always likely that one of Arse/Chels/Liv was gonna close the gap on Spurs, although 6 weeks ago the Goons looked the least likely of the three and I'm sure their own fans would admit that as well.

Main objective for Spurs is the top 4 and that still looks very likely.
