Spurs are struggling to qualify from a group, they should have already had 2nd place all but sewn up. It is what it is though. So what has to happen?
Well for a start Spurs have to absolutely beat PSV on Tuesday night that goes without saying, then hope that Barcelona can go to Inter Milan and win. That would at least get our CL season up and running.
Then in the next round of matches, Spurs host Inter Milan, so another win by more than 2-1 would actually put Spurs above Inter Milan, on the head to head and also more points.
We then come to the crunch final round. Spurs would have to probably have to go to Barcelona and win, possible if Barca have already qualified and put a scratch side out. Then it would all depend on Inter at home to PSV, on paper an Inter win, but you never know PSV may just pull of a shock.
Anyway as slim a possibility as it is. Spurs have to keep believing. Worse way whatever happens, essential to get some European football going into the New Year.
Right CL week coming up, and

I agree Spurtle. As sh** as we are in cup competitions, I want us to be in as much cups as possible. We have to win something this year it's as simple as that. League cup will do perfectly and set us up for next season. Another trophy less season will be another failure for this team. If it means going out the CL ( where we 100% are) then I will take The Europa

Spurs have no chance of the league cup, will probably bae to beat Arsenal, Chelsea and City to win that. The Prem is an easier target.

Yes it's ridiculous how people don't want europa. Yes of course we all want to get through in the CL, but that's not going to happen now, so our only hope is the Europa. We are certainly not to good for the Europa league by all means, so I'm not sure why people turn their noses up at it. Like Henge says, no Europe from Jan will be disgraceful. To come 4th is this group will be a disgrace.

I honestly can't believe you really think this sandy. How is the prem the easier target mate ? When we always mess up any chance to go top or in a better position when it matters. You could of had a very small point had we beaten City, but we lost to them losing ground by 5 points. No way in a million years are we getting anything at the Etihad, so how many points do you honestly think we are going to get and City to lose for us to potentially win it ? Give up that pipe dream Sandy, we are nowhere near good enough to win this league. We will be lucky to get 4th mate.

The Prem is a marathon not a sprint Don, Spurs are notoriously slow starters, this season they are doing much better than usual. City are flat out at the moment, yet they are barely ahead at the top of the table, they will have a dip like all clubs. The Cups are complete one off games. Can you really see Spurs beating City, Chelsea and Arsenal in three straight knockout games, I cannot. You can drop points in the league and still win in it, lose in any cup knockout competition, and that is it.
What I don`t get Don, is you think Spurs have no chance of winning the Prem, and you have often said this season Spurs will be lucky to finish top four, yet you think they are suddenly going to go out and win at Arsenal, probably have to play both City and Chelsea in a semi-final and final, and beat both of them. I don`t get it. We are either not very good, or you think we can beat any team put in front of us.

Sandy, there's a big difference between thinking we can win the league cup or any cup for that matter and actually hoping we do. Of course deep down I don't think we will win anything, as season after season Spurs prove they are the ultimate bottlers, but that doesn't mean I will stop supporting them in the cups and hope just one day this team will prove me wrong.
We are not winning the league Sandy mate despite your positivity. We are NOT good enough to win it and the likes of City, Liverpool and Chelsea haven't lost a bloody game yet mate. How the hell do you think we are going to win most our games and all them 3 drop enough points for us to take the league ? There's positive, then there's bordering on delusional mate. We probably won't win a cup because Spurs just don't win trophies, but we got a better chance of winning the league cup than we do the league mate, it's pretty ridiculous to think otherwise mate

Don, Sandy has changed his thinking and is now a member of the Realists Club.
He will be happy if we win anything.

Chelsea and Liverpool have drawn three games each, so although they have not lost any, they have still dropped half a dozen points, the equivalent of two losses. Only one result different to Spurs Don.

Sandy, I honestly think deep down you know Spurs don't have it in them to win the league, but as you have been saying it for so long, you feel it's right to stick with that opinion. I think deep down you believe this Spurs side haven't got what it takes to win the league.

On a positive note Sandy, my main man Erik Lamela 9 goals in 12 guy is on fire
