We're gonna win the league, We're gonna win the league! And now you're gonna believe us, and now you're gonna believe us, and now you're gonna believe us! We're gonna win the league!
Heh, still think that's a long way off actually happening, and that in terms of the league points dropped at home to Chelsea, Man City and away to Man U, they may already have done the damage when it comes to the business end. That said, that was never ever the aim this season, and 3rd is looking more and more likely, and would be an incredible season. If we can maintain this through January and keep a gap, might even have some room to collapse at the end of the season and still finish 4th. COYS!

Should United and Spurs win this Saturday, they will go on level points with City before they travel to Wigan next Monday. Now, if Wigan can get at least a draw or better, beat City, then all 3 teams will be on level points ahead of the cracking fixtures next weekend.
Spurs will go to the Etihad next Sunday while United travel to the Emirates. Arsenal and Spurs will surely look to gain revenge after getting horribly spanked last August.

I hope you do finish 3rd. You'd probably like to since it means entry into the Champions League group stages and not just a play-off round. It sounds like this could be Harry Redknapp's last season in charge of Spurs, and White Hart Lane is always great for the atmosphere so I hope you do well.
Norwich have already played at Eastlands and Old Trafford this season and they are both like libraries.

Cannot believe Glen Johnson wasn?t sent off for his two footed tackle! It was worse than Kompanys, there is so little consistency between refs its shocking.
the FA have said it was the correct decision to send off Kompany, so will they now go and give Glen Johnson a suspension. Or will they say the ref got that one right as well and completely contradict themselves
English football is run by a bunch of muppets

Glad to see Spurs getting rid of that game in hand finally. Now it's time to collapse so you can get back to your rightful Europa league spot
.
Arsenal 3rd. Chelsea 4th. Liverpool 5th. Spurs 6th (or relegated). Hopefully.

I'm with you on that but we'll finish above you!
On whether Spurs can really win the title or not, their next 10 league games will tell us that because they're gonna face the other Top 7 teams in those 10 games - Man City(A), Liverpool(A), Newcastle(H), Arsenal(A), Man United(H) and Chelsea(A).

I don't think you should rule out Newcastle. They've been unpredictable of late. I reckon Spurs will either steamroll Newcastle or Newcastle will get away with the win.
Arsenal at Emirates will be tough as well as Henry will score a hattrick in his farewell (unless contract is extended a couple of weeks).
Tbh Man United at home would have to be the easiest of the lot. So many away games against top teams, they WILL slip up and they may collapse after this.

We'll wait and see.
I don't think we will collapse this season, even if we do, not as badly as last season or the season where Eduardo broke his leg. Every five minutes a player is saying Henry has lifted the dressing room, so this has certainly lifted morale. Plus the return of Wilshere and Sagna will have a great effect both on and off the field.
Speaking of Sagna, they said he'd take three months to recover, and he got injured at the start of October... Hoping he'll be back in a couple of weeks. Same with Wilshere.
No idea when Gibbs, Jenkinson and Andre Santos are coming back, too many injuries to keep track of.

Good game, was at OT today and we really dominated the game. Scholes was great in midfield again, wasnt up to his usual standards, but still pretty effective. We seemed to outpace the Bolton defence, but still lacked a bit of decisiveness in the final third. Rooney and Nani werent as amazing as one would have hoped but Valencia was a constant threat. Also cant believe I am saying this but Evans actually looked solid at the back.
I would have preferred to see Pogba or Berbatov come instead of Hernandez. Berbatov needs more games and hes looked a better striker as compared to Hernandez recently.
