I don’t know where people thought we even had a sniff of top 4. Seriously do the math even before this defeat today. We probably had to win 10/11 out of 13 which is absolutely unrealistic. Today’s loss is more of the same and hopefully confirms what we should have already known about our top 4 chances.

Want to see the team below. Should have a nice mix of pace, runners and passers. 100% wilshere can do whatever the fuck xhaka has been attempting in the holding position but better. Really cant be fucked with seeing xhaka and iwobi in the team. Give it a change ffs.
Ramsey Wilshere
Mhki Ozil Welbeck

We’ll beat someone at home next week while Tottenham + somebody else drops points and a bunch of you will be straight back on board the train. Which is fair enough, positivity is a welcome commodity at any stage of the season. But realistically no, the pattern was set months ago with the away day problem

Catching 2 teams up from 7-8 points in 11 matches is too difficult, maybe if it was just 1 team.
Based on last season & this season they will go around 2 points per game for the final 11, so we’d be looking at needing 30 points from 33 to steal a top 4 spot.
We are gonna finish around 70 points, not enough to finish 4th. United had 67-68 points last season, didn’t they?
70 points would be a pretty good effort from us from this point, that would mean taking 25/33 in the final 11 games, especially considering we know we will drop 5/6 from both matches against the Manchester Teams.

4 points at least. I can see 2 draws.
I didn’t think we would get top four, as we simply haven’t got a good enough manager, but finishing behind spurs again a bit much.
I suppose the only good thing about it, is that at least there is no doubt Pochettino is a better manager than Wenger and another season is going to drag us down even further.
Even our board aren’t stupid enough to let this nonsense carry on.
I’ve said it for a while, but there is no way Wenger is going to stay after this season, unless he wants us to finish up as a mid table team.

And yet Pochettino has won less trophies than Wenger in the last 4 years 
The most important trophy for Wenger, is the top four trophy.
He won’t be winning it this season, and he will watch Pochettino lift it yet again, while he watches us qualify for the Europa League with all the other small teams in Europe.

Yep, 3 F.A. cups tells you this 
. Good that Spurs have become “the new Arsenal”: only happy with the top 4.
To be honest with a wage bill that’s only half of Liverpool and Arsenal Tottenham really shouldn’t be anywhere near the top 4.
Pochettino said he doesn’t care about trophies.
Wage bill doesn’t mean much imo, we have the 4th largest and we finished 2nd a couple years back. Players look at Tottenham as a stepping stone. Look at Serge Aurier I dunno what his wages are but I’m willing to bet had we signed him instead of the Scum he’d be on more per week here. We are a rich club, Agents know that, players know that, so we have to pay pay for it. It’s only compounded by doing bad business. You’ve got guys like Xhaka and Laca who look like total busts, and they probably make more money than most of the scum.
To me the real number is what is being spent in the market. That would be more telling. And not just net spend, I mean total outgoing money. The super rich clubs might have a low net spend, but that just means they are getting returns on their investments.
Think Liverpool have to be considered the favourites for 2nd now.
2nd Liverpool
3rd Tottenham
4th Manchester United
2nd year in a row of Spurs finishing above us 
Two cups>>>>Spurs above us.
We haven’t won anything yet this season.
