Really bunching up from 4th to 10th now. Everyone will be fighting for those spots. Chelsea bubbling up quickly, Everton in good form, Liverpool not going to give up, Stoke, Watford and West Brom will all want to finish as high as possible. Don't want to mention Southampton. Are we up for it. Wednesday's match will tell a lot. Spurs can go top of the table on goal difference with a win over us. But we have a point to prove. Most exciting season in AGES.

I think too much is always put on these "this will be a true marker" etc.
Sure Tottering could win the league. I abhor them, but, I have to be honest, I'd rather they won the league than City/Arsenal, just to break it up a bit. Ideally Leicester would be the fairy tale, but I have doubts about their ability to get over the finishing line.
I still think City could come with a late run and have the firepower.
As for tonight, we have nothing to fear, except fear itself. They have a habit of doing us, and I think its a hangover from us feeling inferior. This season feels so different, much of that down to Slav.
I wouldn't weigh much on tonight's result. We are still without some key players, playing 3 games in a week etc.
Whatever the result tonight (and they have a formidable defensive record) its a great season with players still coming back.
As the poll asked, what would I prefer, top 4 of the FA Cup.
FA Cup for me.

It's not a "true marker" as it's not the final word. There will still be ten matches afterwards. This is a safe thought against loss. But if we win, it's a damn good sign for us that we are up for the fight this season.

Yes fa cup for me too mate! but sorry i just cant help but weigh much on tonight's result, it's the VERMIN we're talking about,massive in so many ways my meaning was,first and foremost not let them defeat us with their last game at the old girl, if that happened they go top at our expense, slav won't want to be done twice by the gits,just cant bear for them to put a dampner on our wonderful season,as for them winning the title sorry dazza can't agree with that!
