The 4th Place Race - Contender Watch

[Craig_H]

Nah, that record went a while ago - as my giddy Spurs-supporting mate took delight in telling me.

Just seen Donavan's miss. ****ing ****wit.

Can't help but notice Bale started for Spurs today and they won - is that the first time's he's started a league game and won?

According to wikipedia that happened the first time against Fulham at the end of January this year.

I don't smoke grass. neither do I smoke cocks.

But you do suck cock? Fair play

Bitters score just now...losing 2-1 to Spurs as we stand...a draw here would be good.

That's put a dent in Everton's quest for 4th spot then

[magicalbarnes]

Good result for us in the FA Cup Fulham 0-0 Spurs forcing a replay. A bit of fixture congestion for Spurs.

So do we now conclude there are only 3 teams in it for fourth - ****ty, Tottingham and Villa cos after watching that shower of ****e that pretends to represent Liverpool Football Club I cannot see how any one of us, apart from the ever optimistic, can think that we're in with a shout apart from mathematically.

Lock this thread.

Lock this thread.

Why, because it is irrelevant?

[Leyton388]

Then there was three.

With 9 games left, and City a point ahead with 2 games in hand, we need to win 8/9 games. This assumes City will lose 3/11. Even then we have to hope they slip up somewhere else (Man U, Arsenal, eh... Villa at home?)

We probably need a point at OT and a win in every other match.

Not looking good.

[Bender]

Aston Villa have 3 games in hand and are only 3 pts behind

[Shaggy]

We haven't a chance, it's all over. We're gonna finish 7th.

[Bender]

yep it looks that way

[the rev leeroy brown]

city a shoe-in for 4th i reckon. villa should have 5th tied up too. with our run in the hardest of the "contenders" i'd say spurs will finish above us too.

no team fears us anymore. pompey and wigan out play us and would be dissapointed not to go away with all 3 points shows we are not feared anymore.

Not really true though, is it?

Spurs have Arsenal, Chelsea and Man Utd in consecutive games, and City still to play.

Our run-in isnt remotely the hardest.
