Yes, especially with not all of the big 4 performing to their usual standard.

I'd put as much money as I can on it being a no :flower:

We're only 2 games in... some average teams always do well at the beginning on the season, look at Hull last year :kiss:

yea but Hull were obviously punching above their weight. Spurs on paper have as good a squad as any of the top four they just lack 1 really great player. The top four look weak at the min so id wait til 10 games in and see where they are then.

Nope, only been 2 Premier League games.

It's like saying Arsenal will always play as well as we did against Everton, it just ain't gonna happen.

Im a Spurs supporter (and I do go to White Hart Lane) and I will say no, although this year would be our best chance. We have a good squad (but some of our defenders are far too easily injured) but certainly not a top four squad.

That said this year will be our best chance, Harry seems to have done well in the first two games (may it continue against West Ham tomorrow) but I think the key factor is that we aren't playing in the Europa League. Those Thursday night/Sunday Prem games really start to take a toll on the smaller squaded teams (Like us, Villa and Everton, Fulham this year could be in for a long season if they stay in it for a while as there league form will suffer.

However as well as us doing well, we would need a top four team to struggle as well (consistantly) and I can't see that happening. However I do see the fifth and sixth teams (hopefully us and I expect Man City) will close the points gap to forth more than in previous seasons.

Sadly no, but I wish we could. Even if we would get slaughtered against the likes of Barcelona, Inter, Real etc.

Can you explain to me how winning 6 - 1 is "below-par" ?

United have lost to someone really **** no excuses.

Liverpool lost to someone 50 - 50 with the top 4 they always preform against them


Chelsea have conceeded the first goal in both their games.

I think its possible for them to do so, just like it was villa last season..

But its 2 games in.. its a long way to go.

There is not a chance in hell that Spurs will finish in the top 4. Jermain Defoe will stop scoring soon - he does it every season thats why he's not an England starter - and then what? Where will the goals come from? Keane is a good player but not an out and out striker Pavly-whatshis face is still a bit unproven and Crouch is not good enough.

The midfield is good, the defence is sometimes a little shaky. As Junky said, one of the top four would have to be inconsistent and like him I also dont see that happening

We wont win it cuz we're not consistant enough, Man Utd are already missing Ronaldo - He'd have torn Burnley apart as he did to most of the lesser premiership teams, Liverpool are sh*t and rely to heavily on Gerrard and Torres, so that leaves Chelsea who still look strong.

If they'd have had a stronger start last season Chelsea may well have won it last year too.

I think they will win it but its not irrelevant that they are coming back from a losing position to teams they should be beating.

But yeh With the start man utd have i alredy thought chelsea would win but now its like almost guaranteed.

If they had Redknapp from the start last year theyd of finished 4th or 5th (adding up both portsmouths start under him then his tottenham time)

They have a good squad of players but it's too early yet to see if they've permanently eradicated their penchant for blowing hot and cold all the time. West Ham at the weekend and Man Utd in two weeks time will give us a fair indication as to what we can expect from them.

Nah lol

Something will blow up during the season like it always does with Spurs.

It's not impossible, but It'll be hard, if they had Harry Redknapp all season last season they'd have broken into the top 6 at the very least.
