I think Spurs are the team we should be most worried about, they seem to have found their groove. However, as Vish said, if we keep playing the way we have been we should be ok.
Don't forget we' have been and still are fielding backup players in every defensive position yet we're still considered favourites for top 4 over Spurs. When we get Johnson, Agger and Sakho back full time, we should tighten up defensively.

Its all about the next 4 games up to the United game for me. They are 4 games we are capable of winning with 2 particularly tough games against Southampton and United while have 2 winnable games and 2 games against Chelsea and Arsenal. This is the time where we can put 6+ points between ourselves and 5th place

The European games could have a big affect on them. Their upturn in form has come while not playing in Europe. Could be coincidence but could also be a sign they might slip back again. More importantly, it has come with changing their manager and restoring Adebayor to the first team. Hope you're right and I'm wrong on this one tbh. I will also depend on how seriously they would take the Europa league games, they could put their not yet settled (not performing to expectation) players in those games. Their priority has been the CL with all the purchases they made in the summer. That said, if we continue playing as we have, we should be in the top 4. Even if they do play a second string side in the Europa league, the full squad will travel & train and be ready to play. That will have some effect on their league games, especially after an away leg in the Ukraine.

aside from the dnipro games (is this an opportunity for konoplyanka to show us his worth?), the next round of the Europa is over two legs on 13 and 20 march mean spurs will be away to Chelsea then playing a Europa game and then home to arsenal followed by another Europa game. dropped points written all over that.
here's to an extended run in the Europa for spurs

The Chavs have the easiest run in , bar coming to Anfield so they've gotta be favourites whatever Maureen says.

Anyone watched the spurs game? Did they put in a full strength team? Wonder if they wanted to lose the game on purpose.

Heard that Konyaplanko chap had a good game. Someone likened his performance to the sprint button being stuck on your PS remote. Apprently he was lightning and hits top speed instantly.
Only bad thing is, if he had such a good game, it happened against Spurs whihc means they will beat us in signing him.
