I can't be the only one who keeps having nightmare visions of Tottenham lifting the Premier League

[Berni]

trophy in May. It's too horrible to contemplate, but I can't get my thoughts off it.

They make commemorative DVDs when they beat us in the League Cup, ffs! What will they do if they win the league ahead of us? :-(

The only conceivable upside to this is that crushing their hopes of a first league win for more than half a century would be particularly sweet, but I'm not sure that even that is enough to compensate for the stress.

It’s all quite weird.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

I would easily be able to isolate myself from football and just ignore the whole thing. It would be as if it had never happened.

[Berni]

For the last 25 years or so, we've usually been able to take comfort that, whatever disappointments we suffer, at least Tottenham can be relied on to be ****ter than us or f**k up in their usual hapless fashion. The idea of having local rivals who actually rival us in any meaningful sense is a nasty and unwelcome one.

[Berni]

I open the cupboard at work and am confronted by various mugs bearing Spurs images - including one that celebrates beating us 5-1 in the League Cup - can you imagine how much worse it will be if I they've won the f**king league?

[Berni]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Those of us who remember Spurs being the successful and glamourous north London club remember what it was like to watch them win things. It's bad, but... you know. Nobody dies, or anything.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

They’re a decent team, playing well and in a great position in the League.

So are we of course but I don’t think we are actually playing that well. That is a positive all the same.

[Monty91]

I was out with Spurs fans all day on Saturday and they all claimed they would take fourth place at this point and insisted there was absolutely no chance of Spurs winning it. They all expect Arsenal to win it.

Granted, this was before they beat City yesterday.

[Berni]

psychological callous that makes it easier to deal with this sort of trauma by now - like a raddled old queen who's taken so many cocks up the arse he barely feels it any more. We on the other hand, would be having our rectal virginity taken brutally and roughly.

[Berni]

Their success was limited enough for it not to hurt too much, though, since there was absolutely no chance of them winning the league.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Highbury because they were really rather good and we were particularly poor. But this too passed.

[Ashberto]

Do you work for a taxi company?

[Luis Anaconda]

He was Scottish so I assumed he was just very drunk a lot of the time

[Berni]

[Monty91]

One of them offered me a 100 quid bet that they wouldn’t win it :-

[Red N White Army]

What will be insufferable is the media. Only marginally better than if Liverpool won it, but insufferable nonetheless.

[Monty91]

will cut if we won it at their expense?

People say this is the best chance we’ll have to win it, but the same is true of Spurs. They have a stadium to build and no Arsene Wenger to guide them through it.

[Berni]

Have to say that, when I decided to live and work north of the river, I didn't give sufficient thought to the fact that I'd be exposed to far more Tottenham fans.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

I fail to see a single reason why we should win it while simultaneously they cannot win it.

I don’t think there is that much to choose between teams at present save for our actual world class players in attack.

[Luis Anaconda]

goal is rather than the nearest mirror

[Monty91]

my head, I think I would probably plump for us. But that is based on very, very little of any substance.

[7evens]

You do realise yourl life will be a living hell.
I'd possibly consider moving.

[Berni]

no apparent sense of shame until I moved to Hertfordshire. :-(

[Peter]

And what it suggests.

I make them favourites but that is based purely on fear and a lack of faith in us to perform in the big games.

[Berni]

the CL would you take it over the current situation where we're in with a shout, but there is an equally good chance that Tottenham could win the f**king thing?

[Monty91]

I mean, we really need to go and do that.

Not to say that it’s all over if we don’t.

But you take my point.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

I think they are in the same week, not sure.

[Peter]

I am struggling to cope with the notion of a good, solid spurs side. I have never seen it before.

I feel sick.

[Berni]

[Monty91]

stage and still finished behind us.

I think a straight shoot-out with Spurs for the league should fill us with nervous excitement.

[Berni]

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

I don't do the whole future fixtures thing in detail tbh.


I saw their next 5 on the BBC earlier, points dropped in two of them.

[Peter]

At southampton and spurs.

Very, very worrying. I hate their energy and fitness. They are going to batter us at whl. If we come away from there with a draw i will be both surprised and delighted.

I'm scared, monty.

[Peter]

Materialise.

I feel cheated.

[modd]

they always fall away from march to may. look if they got top four they had a great season but their far to inexperienced to win the league and squad to thin.

fixtures are brutual for them. still got to go play seven of the top ten from last 12 games
