The average points for 4th over the years has been around 70/71, and we would almost certainly need that to get top 4. Last 2 seasons have only needed 67 and 66 points. So of course we would deserve it if we got it.
We have also taken 21 points from 27 against the other teams who were in the fight (Chelsea down to Wolves). In comparison, Spurs have taken just 6 points from 9 games against the competition.
Considering we gave them a 9 point headstart, it is a great achievement to even be where we are. And lets not forget, Spurs brought in a "world class" manager when we were pretty much level on points, and brought in top class January signings, while we stuck with our "cone placer" and got rid of our only half decent striker and signed no-one, and yet we have outperformed them since both.
Spurs fans are extremely delusional, and some of them genuinely believe teams have thrown games against us (accusing West Ham, when on the same day they played a Leicester reserve team while the Hammers included the likes of Bowen and Rice).
"Can I just say that is nonsense. OK United has been poor and Spurs started poorly. Maybe if United played to their potential and/or Spurs had Conte from the start, maybe we would end up 6th at best."
Make your mind up
Spurs started poorly.
===
ps - manager of the month after an unbeaten start!!
Arsenal only had 2 more points than Spurs when Conte came in. Now we have 4 more points
"(accusing West Ham, when on the same day they played a Leicester reserve team while the Hammers included the likes of Bowen and Rice)."
Drink their salty tears, I love it.
Not sure why anyone listens to Spurs fans...ignore them as they are readying excuses for if they fail to take top 4. It's a strange game and anything could yet happen, but I'd just make it a matter of principle to not listen to any Spurs fans!
You deserve fack all, any team that is allowed to play the covid card and exploits a global pandemic when they have a catalogue of injuries, to avoid playing a game, deserves absolutely nothing.
Its the lowest of the low and no surprise Varpool were allowed to do the same.

Exactly this !
As we won’t listen to you lot !
It’s a rivalry and we won’t be complimentary about you will we and expecting anything else is crazy! In the same way we won’t be expecting compliments from you
It’s just football and a game ! It’s not personal
Did the writer of this article expect to log into the spurs board and see us praising arsenal and arteta ? If so you need to find a new sport to follow
Arsenal are better than we will give them credit for of course but our views on your manager are shared by some of your fan base (he is out of his depth and you could do better)
Fairplay if you get 4th as who ever gets it deserves it 👍
Spurs tried to get the Leicester game postponed and the PL told them they didn't have a case, so you must truly think Spurs are the scuumiest of the scuuum. Oh, and UEFA kicked you out as well
Tottenham were the first to try and abuse the system and got well and truly put in their place by UEFA and the PL
So what they've been poor. They've taken advantage when we've been poor in seasons gone by. We fully deserve Champions league if we hit 70 points
3 most wins this season as well. The more games you win the higher up you should finish!
Our 21 wins this season (with 3 to play) is the same number of wins 2nd got last season, 3 more than 3rd managed in 19/20, same as 3rd in 18/19 etc etc.
We are very much where we are on merit, and no amount of disrespect from the Scuuum will change that.

Just to help you out this next time you use this one as a stick to beat Tottenham with you need to change Leicester to Brighton so you don’t look stupid
Brighton is the only game prem game tottenham had postponed due to actual covid cases (not injuries and or African nations)
The Leicester game both Them and Tottenham requested the game be postponed ….Leicester due to covid cases (which is the reason the game didn’t go ahead in the end) and Tottenham as we wanted to play against Rennes in the European game , nothing to do with Covid (Rennes said no)
The game then was called off anyway due to Leicester!
Put Brighton next time and you would be bang on
The game that annoyed me was the original Rennes game as we told them to fly over and then it was postponed ….I think you are getting confused
Again that was for legitimate covid cases but I thought it was a disgrace we told them to fly over to then cancel ….feel free to slate Tottenham for that cos I did!
Why do I need to change Leicester for Brighton? Spurs asked for the Leicester game to be postponed and were told they didn't have a case. Nothing you said contradicts what I posted...

For a European game not covid ….correct we had no case as we didn’t request it to be postponed for covid
We were happy to play that night
Leicester had the game postponed
A quick Google will confirm that
Spurs tried to get the Leicester game called off and were told their claims had no merit. That is what I said and a google confirms I was 100% correct.
Plus, we never played the "covid card". We told the PL our situation, and the PL made the decision to postpone the game. It was their choice, and they felt that, unlike Spurs request to manipulate their fixture list, we had a genuine case.

What aren’t you understanding or are you just argumentative?
Tottenham asked to postpone to play Rennes
Rennes said no
So we were then happy to play Leicester
Leicester then postponed
As simple as I can put it
Brighton and Rennes are the only games we postponed

----------------------------------------------------------------------
I haven’t said one word about our original game
You played the system as others have done
No complaints from me as the PL made the decision
What I am not understanding is how you don't understand the PL refused Spurs request.
Conte said: "The Premier League didn't want to postpone the game against Leicester..."

I’m agreeing with you I that !
We asked to postpone the game to play another match ….not to take a week off !
Conte said that after being asked about playing Rennes instead ! Rennes and the league said no !
Leicester then went and had the game postponed anyway
I give up
So... Spurs tried to get a PL game called off and the PL disagreed with the reasoning? What I said from the start. So Billy feeling Arsenal are a disgrace for presenting a case to the PL which the PL felt was deserving of a postponement must mean he thinks Spurs are a bigger disgrace for presenting a case to the PL which the PL did not feel met the requirements for a postponement.
