Spurs be lucky to stay up

The relegation of Manchester United in 1974 was the mother of all relegations. Spurs were relegated in 1978, only 17 years after their famous double winning season and yet this attracted little schadenfreude at the time. If Spurs go down, so what ? Apart from London fans, in particular their main rivals Arsenal and West Ham, it will be all but forgotten in two minutes.

In terms of relegations spurs are nothing but I would love it if they went down.

League wise loads they’ve only won the top division twice. Good cup team but the big one champions of England only twice. Loads of so called “smaller” clubs have won it more than that. Yet spurs are in the so called big six, like I said take London away and they’d not be considered as big as they are.

Like who? Name them? You keep saying loads but can't name any
 
I hope we are adding to their grief on Sunday.

I have been around a lot of years and the only thing that springs to mind when spurs are mentioned is 60-61 double season.

I've seen a few classic 'big six' online fans saying Spurs won't go down, all they need is 2/3 wins. They just don't get it. No wins since Boxing Day round of games. Slap a Burnley badge/kit of them, get them playing at Turf Moor and everyone would say they're clear favourites to go down. Hope they do.
 
No wins in 15 v them sure it said on radio last night 😮

Haway!
Their final 6:

HOME
brighton
Leeds
Everton

AWAY
wolves
Villa
Chelsea

For all the talk about achieving our 40 points target a win against Spurs in tomorrow's game is still quite important to us as it would move us much closer to being mathematically safe from relegation. To my mind there should be no question of us relaxing until it is mathematically certain that our position in the Premier League is safe.

As Spurs are in 18th place and on 30 points with 7 games to go they could potentially end the season with a total of 51 points. That is of course quite a lot more than our current 43. They are however the only one of the bottom three that still has the potential to overtake our current points total.

A win against Spurs would however not only give us 46 points it would reduce the number of points that they could potentially accumulate by the end of the season to 48. As far as we are concerned then the game is effectively a six pointer that could move us to within just three points of mathematical safety.

We would wise to treat Spurs as threat to our Premier League status on Sunday and not rely at this stage on them dropping points to other Clubs between now and the end of the season.

I mean this is crazy talk. There is zero chance Spurs, Leeds, Forest, West Ham AND all the teams in between get above us with 7 games to go.

Give over, we’re safe. There’s far too many teams as well as points between us and the relegation zone and they can’t all win all their remaining games as they play each other. Our motivation should be trying to beat our previous best PL points tally, finishing above the mags etc.

Really hope we are up for this, would love to give them a nudge to relegation.

I’d be more confident if they hadn’t changed their manager.

We seem to face a higher percentage of teams with 'new manager bounce' compared to others.

It feels as though its always us and never get any luck.

Players should be up for this. Can't hack another home defeat in a row.

I think this new manager bounce is a bit of a myth, doesn’t happen as often as people might think
