Hmm, I don't think we're that nailed on to beat them.
They might scrape a draw.
It's only three in a row in the league against Man Utd.
It might be a must win for us which we don't have a good record against the best sides in but it's possibly a don't even need a point for Man Utd.
Yes, it's funny how a run of P12 W9 D2 L1 has seen us in contention of a top 4 place.
All games are big games at the business end of the season all you've done is cherry pick some poor results. Two of those are against sides who are clearly better than us, the other two are sides who are much closer to us in ability. Spurs away was always going to be a defeat, we've not won away against a top side all season because we're not at that level any more. Everton at home was a disappointment but we played well enough and dominated most of the game, we lacked a cutting edge and a top class striker but we all knew that.
I'm fairly confident (if that's the right word) that we'll lose on Sunday vs Utd, that's not us bottling it, that's us losing to a far better side than us. In the run in we've been beating the sides we 'should' be beating, that's given us a chance.
Agree with a lot of the rest of your post but cherry picking some poor results against good sides doesn't really demonstrate your point.
I wasn't just talking about this season.
Besides, by all intents and purposes we've been playing sh*t according to the match reports on here and have been "lucky" to win some games (again according to what has been posted), in fact we've been pretty sh*t all season.
The Chelsea game today is what I'm talking about though, Suarez should have been off and then scores 6 and a half minutes into injury time.....Spurs collapse on the back of the Redknapp controversy last year was another as was the food poisoning incident a few years back.
You don't finish top 4 every single year by luck Zimm. You've cited some incidents where we got lucky, I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to cherry pick some where we got bad luck. It's easy to make any point by doing that. After 38 games you are where you are. League table never lies...unless it says something you don't want to hear?
If we hadn't won, we wouldn't have gained two points on them.
Putting it down to pure luck is silly because that kinda means there can be no discussing or analysis about where we're going wrong - if luck is the main factor.
Spurs won 5-0 against Newcastle when the Redknapp England talk was rife and after the court case. They did a Spurs because they're Spurs.
Ok but if Chelsea win today our chances are really in the balance and yet Suarez bites a player doesn't get sent off and then wins the game 6 1/2 minutes into injury time (there were only 6 minutes and I'm not even sure where they got that from) thus bringing us right back into it.
These aren't your average match incidents to be fair.
