The Spurs situation and Everton

[Clarky cat]

With our dismal record down at Spurs I guess it would be typical “Everton that” to go there and relegate them on the last day

If Spurs need a win to survive I’d fully expect Everton to be down to 10 players in the first half and VAR doing its best to get them 3 points.

Other than our away form this season, in any other season the one team you’d want to play at home to keep you up on the final day is us!

I think they’ll stay up, but I don’t think it’s because they’ll do anything remarkable. I think they’ll limp across the the line as I can see Forest, WH or even Leeds going on a poor run of form.

I'm the opposite. I can see all of West Ham, Forest and Leeds getting up to 39-40 points so that is going to make Spurs sweat big time especially as a couple of them will improve their goal differences more and Spurs one will probably get worse with some of the aways they had left.

It was a bit like this in 21/22 aswell.

Burnley took 14 points from 9 games before the final day so similar to what West Ham are doing.

Leeds took 15 points from final 10 games.

After the horrible Burnley defeat this club won 4 of their last 8 so the Arsenal match didn't matter at all luckily.

To have a serious chance of staying up Spurs need to win another three games as a minimum imo.

Let's not get too smug. Imagine we go there last game of the season and lose. Spurs just stay up and we just miss out on Europe. That would be so Everton! Of course the other way round and we relegate them and qualify for Europe would be amazing.
Can't see the latter happening as we're Everton and we're generally not allowed* nice things.

* WW1, WW2, Clive Thomas, Alan Hansen handball 1984, Hysel, Graham Poll Derby, Twatenberg Derby, points deductions etc.

This season has been all about banishing poor records on away grounds, winning at Villa, Bournemouth and Man. United. Also hanging on to the Wolves win right at the start of the season was important for mentality as poor record at Molineux in recent times.

So don't see what the issue at Spurs would be. I know they won 3-0 up here in October but that game proved my point a bit, a ridiculous flattering scoreline for Spurs.

Can we call them Top 6 club anymore?

Thats what they'll call them in the Championship when they're in the playoff positions for most of the season before they bottle it 3 matches before the playoffs.

Not this season though.
A sinking ship and they've brought in Uncle Albert to keep them afloat.

I said the past 2 seasons for Spurs Versus Moyes managerial career. They have been more successful

I think they will stay up, but if they drop we will be revisiting this..

Relegation would knock it out the window.

Moyes has had one of them.

Moyes has had one of them.

Always got a comeback.
This is Spurs not Sunderland though..

Spurs have still got a massive stadium debt to pay off..

 

[Blue peter]

Dont dangle that carrot in front of me. We're away at Spurs on the final day. A 1-0 win against Dyche managed Spurs with the winner from Jake O'B'rien.
Now i want it.

Never even thought about that - yes I’m all in for that

 

[hkb6970]

They are away to RS next week,so that is 6 defeats on the spin, even when they had Kane and Son at their peak they could never get a result there. Think they went from 1912 to 1984 without a win at that place.

Spurs have also had the lowest turnover to wages ratio in the league.

 

[LinekersLegs]

I’m not sure what lessons can be learnt by Spurs about our relegation battles and vice versa, just really don’t EVER want to repeat going through this.

or this

That is a weak comeback.

Would you take a trophy if it meant relegation the following season with the debt they would be carrying down ?

Business wise they are probably the best run club in the league.

Under Levy that was.
