I don't think James is though.
I’m just too subtle for some.
I had lessons from Weasel 👍🏼
Whats that saying.

As it is 8 points is still a good margin but to me at least it doesn’t seem insurmountable especially if they are starting to find form which West Ham fans seem to think they have, though I think any team would of beat spurs yesterday - I've been wary for a while that forest and West Ham have the quality of players to string runs together, look at Everton so often it looked like they were gone and they found results - we have shown we can compete but at the same time I don’t think we are capable of beating either sides results if and it’s a big if they build up a head of steam.
👍🏻
I feel we need a bit of a buffer into March when Wales have their WC playoffs.
In Farke’s first season Wales got knocked out of the Euro playoffs and our Welsh players had a slight dip in form, not much but it was noticeable and we missed out on automatic promotion as the games came thick and fast.
I’m hoping they make it this time 😉

Those moments made an old codger very happy. :clapp:
Yes, the roof certainly lifted a couple of feet when that goal went in yesterday

Anyone notice on MOTD they showed a graphic of Nmechas stats for the match but had a pic of Okafor next to them.

At the moment that GD is worth a point over Wet Spam and Florist. However, I agree that we should not be counting our chickens as far as those two Clubs are concerned. On that kind of basis we should perhaps think Boneymush can be included too as a Club that could just bugger up their season although they appear to have a decent looking squad. They hopefully are going to miss Semenyo.

By the same token though I am looking interestedly at Spares and Payless. The Manager at the former is taking sips in the last chance saloon; he might well be out of there in the forsseable future. The entitled Spares fans are increasingly having a moan as they are prone to do more often than not. As for the latter, their manager has had a rant and has made managing that club going forward almost untenable. He's losing his Captain and his main striker is making "come and get me" utterances to other suiters. The main spine of his team is disintegrating So, to me, those two clubs are very catchable from where we are.

Spurs next 6 matches
Burnley A
Man C H
Man U A
Newcastle H
Arsenal H
Fulham A

All eminently loseble, so reasonable chance we could be above them after that, even though our next 6 is pretty tough too.

If you're making the point we can catch them, absolutely. If you're saying they're heading down, very small chance of that imo..

Maybe, never considered Spuds a rival tbh, just a mid table top division team. Chelsea or Manure going down would be hilarious, Chelsea in particular, but don't care who does after that as long as it's not us

I would think the photo will be on Heidi's website when she updates the Fulham match.

I'll screenshot the photo when it appears.
