The race for 1st,2nd,3rd or 4th (delete as appropriate)

Bout that time of the year we keep an eye on other teams/results.

Next round of games I can't really see any of the Top 6 dropping points. Maybe Liverpool might struggle against Newcastle but I can see them winning all the same.

I think it's very important we keep the momentum up for the City game so another win is needed.

I and numerous others on here have said it before, the next month and a bit will define our season. If we could just maintain our advantage over Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal we'll be back to the bright lights of the Champions League. Title talk is silly, automatic qualification for the CL (i.e. 3rd) should be the target, anything else is optimistic to the point of foolishness.

Thread is fine for the time being. Let's keep it based on ourselves and our chances etc. Obviously our chances will depend on other results, no harm mentioning them but let's not go off topic.

I am confident we will take 8 in the next four. February though is a different matter altogether. I am quite happy with the squad at the moment too. Not sure if I want a Faustino type coming in upsetting the applecart as Harry is hinting.

Sounds like the words of a man who has seen a few too many false dawns in the past! .. and still bares the scares!

It would take 12 points from next 4 games to convience me that we are title contenders ... If we within 6 points of the leaders at the start of Feburary then surely we deserve to be mentioned in the same light as City and Utd.

Of course anything less and we are realistically looking at a 3rd or 4th place finish.

For my new years resolution I've decided I'm going to enjoy been a spurs fan for a change .. as many others have said on here recently - this is probably the best spurs team we have seen in 20-30 years, playing the best football we can remember etc etc. I havent been this excited since the seaon we signed klinsmann and Co. Roll on 2012!

So half way through the season and we are 5 points ahead of 5th with a game in hand. I don't think any of us would have believed that was even possible after getting our asses handed to us by City in August.

I don't think I have ever enjoyed being a spurs fan so much. I honestly believe that regardless of where we finish allot of us could look back even decades from now and say this was the bes spurst team we ever saw in the flesh.

I hope we can stick it out and finish in the top 4.

Hopefully decades from now our current team will be so good that we think of this team as the point when started to dominate the premiership like united has done for a fair portion of the 90s and noughties.

Its swings and roundabouts man, we were unlucky against Stoke but the other two were fair draws. Remember we stole the points at Craven Cottage aswell, where we are now is amazing and with 3 winnable home games coming up its happy days

It's funny because all of us (and Lawro on the BBC!) thought that we would have to win against Swansea to prove our title credentials as that's exactly the type of game champions-elect win, like how Utd beat Blackburn at home and City beat Sunderland away and.. oh wait

Half way through and we're clear in 3rd, with a game in hand. It's dreamland really! We need maximum points from all of our home games though, as from the start of Feb to mid-March we have some really tough games and I hope we stay in good shape both form and injury-wise.

At this moment in time we could definitely win the league, and I hope that's what the players aim for. I'd still be absolutely chuffed with 4th spot and with every team seemingly struggling for points at the moment, it's going to be a very interesting 2nd half of the season.
