chance of securing any kind of European football for next season, then only a miraculous FA Cup win would get them to Europe. With that in mind, I would be resting most of the so called 1st XI tomorrow, and saving them for Middlesborough on Tuesday. I suspect Spurs will lose at Leeds tomorrow, whatever team they put out, so many as well just go full out squad players for the lunchtime kick off.
Leeds really could not have asked for a better team to play tomorrow, to get their season back on track. In dreadful form, and Spurs turn up. 2-1 to Leeds my prediction. Spurs just have absolutely no battlers in the side, and Leeds as bad as they are playing, will be running around like blue arrrrrsed flies to get a result, just like Burnley midweek.
Prem season is all but finished for Spurs now, so may as well just try to give it a go in the FA Cup. Not much hope I know, but at least they are just one off games, and you never know Spurs may get the odd performance in cup games to see them progress a fair way.
That said, we still have to get behind the team, come what may. Spurs are still our club, so no point in just moaning after every defeat, that won`t help. It is what it is, let`s just get the season out of the way over the next couple of months, and all move on to hopefully a better 2022-23, which I am not expecting to be much better, but at least gives a bit of breathing space, to regroup and go again.
COYS
With Spurs now having next to no

6th is very achievable. If we get European league this would be an improvement on last season.
All the crying is because Man U was allowing us to dream about 4th spot. They bought Sancho and Varane
Arsenal spent over 125m
We were never favourite for 4th but fans have short memories. It's good to overachieve but let's stop thinking overachievment is the minimum we should expect.
Until we recruit as aggressively as our rivals 6th Spot is our target.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
How is 6th very achievable, Spurs have just been beaten by Southampton, Wolves and Burnley, and lost four of their last five. The form is dreadful and Spurs won`t finish about 8th/9th at best.
Still to play
Leeds (a) Loss
Everton (h) Draw
Man United (a) Loss
West Ham (h) Loss
Newcastle (h) Win
Aston Villa (a) Draw
Brighton (h) Win
Brentford (a) Win
Leicester (h) Draw
Liverpool (a) Loss
Burnley (h) Win
Norwich (a) Draw
Arsenal (h) Loss
16 points more at best on current form, and that is being optimistic. A few of those draws could easily end up with defeats, and a few of the wins as draws knowing Spurs.
Team is low on confidence, and most of the players are like 3 or 4/10s most games.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Not sure why you think you'd lose to Leeds.
They're complete dogmuck defensively right now and they'll play into your hands giving you lots of space.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
LOL you don`t know Spurs mate. Spurs will be like a gift from God to a team that has just been wallopped 6-0. Only one outcome. A Leeds win. Of course I would be delighted if Spurs won. But we all know Leeds will be all over Spurs from the off, and will fight for every ball. Spurs won`t do that.

It's one of the many things that baffles me about you Sandy. Every time we lose it's the teams fault but every time we win, you call it a fluke. Then you post defeatist articles like this. How is that supporting your team? It almost feels these days like you don't want them to win.
There's a long way to go, lets not throw the towel in just yet FFS. Worst fans ever.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Look mate, I am being realistic. Can you seriously think any fan is happy with the way things have gone since the New Year.
Like most fans I want Spurs to win every game, but right now, they are not playing well, and you could not be confident of them beating any team. For any supporter to say they are confident of Spurs winning any game right now, they would be lying.
I was actually one of those that thought Spurs would beat Burnley, when most on the board were predicting a defeat.
So I think it is a bit rich that supporters are now having a pop at me for not getting behind the team. When it is has been doom and gloom from most of them for practically the entire season.
I only say what I see, and at the moment I see a not very good Spurs team. If they improve I will say they have improved, but they have to start winning matches before that will happen.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I totally get a bit of realism. No one's under any illusions here. It's just the slightly contradictory tone of your post. When we do win, why cant you find any credit. I thought we were great against city. It wasn't a fluke. And that's my point, we should support the team. All this talking us down (some justified I admit) is just sending all of us in to a death spiral. And it's not a single pop at you, but, come on, when's Mr positive going to hack your account again. He'd needed right now!

I think people need to understand Sandy posts these articles for a reaction. He doesn't really think the season is over and deep down the reality is, Sandy still believes potentially we can get 4th. He likes to wind people up. For anyone that has been on here long enough, should surely see this by now? Sandy is getting a reaction from you lot. I can guarantee he believes Spurs still are in the hunt. My personal opinion is 4th is all over, but then Spurs have turned me into a negative bas** all down the years. Sandy is the opposite. Don't believe this article, it's a wind up.

Don, Spurs have not a hope in hell of finishing 4th. I have been saying since before Xmas, Spurs will not finish much higher than 8th/9th.

Even with spursy spurs if we lose to Leeds we might as well fold the club. Our existence would be pointless

2-1 Leeds would not surprise me.
