Spurs be lucky to stay up

I am undecided about Tottenham Hotspur. I want them to get relegated of course. Nothing pleases fans more than to see a giant brought down to their knees. It's been the promoted sides for too long. To see a regular go down would be brilliant. Whether it is Spurs, Nottingham Forest or Wolves.

But if you are a fan of a promoted team then they take on a different angle. None of us have beaten them. Bournemouth and Fulham have both beaten them in both fixtures. The mags beat them in London and could only draw with the mags at SJP. Man City beat them in Tottenham's first away game and drew with City in Tottenham's place. But whereas they drew with us at their place, they drew away to Burnley and beat them in the first game of the season at home and Leeds they beat away at Elland Road. They are yet to play us at the SOL and them at home.

They are still a very tough team for anyone coming up.

Form table from the last 10 games. Both Forest and West Ham are closing in at a rapid rate.

And the remaining fixtures for those three. West Ham definitely have the hardest fixtures of the bunch, but at the same time West Ham are the ones playing the best football at the moment.

There's no way to spin it where Spurs aren't in major trouble right now.

I like how that table has the cups the teams currently hold- except the Saudis- they mustnt consider blood cups as an actual trophy.

No. I just make use of IT skills that my qualifications and experiences fell short of being good enough for.

For the last few seasons I have set up an Excel spreadsheet.

Imagine a table with home teams down the side and away teams along the top. All fixtures has two cells (the home goals and away goals).

One cell at the end adds up the home goals. Another st the end adds the away goals. A third deducts the away goals from the home goals.

Wins are in red, draws are green and loses are yellow.

The away table is the same. So should be the mirror image of the home table.

I have been doing it for ages.

That form table can’t be right can it? Before the Leeds game I thought we were playing the modern version of 1970’s Brazil judging by how people were shititmg themselves.

Mad listening to talksport now, they are basically saying (different fans and presenters) that going down would be a good thing so they can reset, get rid of the ownership etc etc. Followed, they could buy the best player from every other championship club and dominate,offer 10k away tickets on their way to going straight back up. Who's going to tell them?

I remember folk on here saying we'd get 100 points and piss the league, lol

Be hilarious if they went down and got stuck, a few seasons down there would hopefully teach 'em some humility

yes that surprises me i thought Leeds had really picked up steam the results they have had, and although we thought we had hit a poor run we are still on a par with them on current form.

Certainly wouldn’t be easy for them. The same as us in league one, we were everyone’s cup finals. The amount of times teams would beat us and then lose the following game due to them being knackered was ridiculous.
 
As one who has had way too much experience of late in the relegation battle, I can say honestly that my pure relief at surviving far surpassed any temptation to gloat or feel "satisfaction" (?!?!?) over the fate of those who dropped out.
Two seasons ago, we avoided the drop on the ultimate day by beating Bournemouth (by the slimmest of margins) I felt absolutely NO desire to "celebrate" just an overwhelming sense of: (A) Relief (B) embarrassment and shame that a once great club had descended to this!!!
When the cameras went to Elland Road and I saw the faces of their supporters (some of them just kids) I felt no "joy" whatsoever
just, as I say, relief and embarrassment
