God only knows how negatively we will set up now we know a draw will be good enough!

I hope we attack, they are so vulnerable at the back!

I'd be happy with a draw. We need to keep something in reserve for the final.

this,we really need to put 4th in place b4 cup final, takes a bit of pressure off the lads

Another way to look at it.. we need one league win from our final 3 games.

And have we not forgotten about Liverpool here, a draw against spuds doesnt put the scousers out of it

Let's not forget it's in Stoke's interest for us to qualify for champs *IF* we beat them in the final.

Gonna say, that far fetched conspiracy where somehow they'll throw it for us, instead of just winning the cup themselves.

Make no mistake, if Bob will play for a draw we will have problems with them. I want the lads to play with the memory of what happend last year, and how we lost the Ucl place with Spuds.

Deja Vu all over again. Last season all we needed was a draw too.

Let's just get the 3 points, put spuds and scousers out of it. Celebrate like spuds did last season sending us to the cup final in good spirits.

If Carlsberg did Tuesday nights............

am i right, if we draw with spurs, and liverpool win, then we will be 5 points in front of liverpool, so will need at least a point from our last 2 games, and liverpool are closing on goal diff as well

Atmosphere will/should be amazing on Tuesday night. Lets go for a win, but even if we just draw. A point in the league against Stoke and neither Liverpool or Spurs can catch us.

This is the way to do it. We have two games & if we win both, we're in fucking dreamland. Spurs have to win, so it's not as if we have to make all the running & go crazy; just play to win & I can't see how the fuck their defence can possibly cope with us. Play to draw & they will score with a header.

Liverpool can get to 64 points, we're currently on 62 so any win from our last 3 games puts them out of it.

If I remember correctly we were a point ahead of Spurs before we met them last season at home and then they beat us and went ahead of us.

Granted, this season they will still be 3 points behind us even if they beat us but still... all this "all we need is a draw" reminds me of last season.

Sparkyarse will get at least a draw v Liverpool.

If you play for a draw, odds on you're gonna lose.
(especially if you're Man City!)

We should go all out to win
especially with the form Gomes is in, at present!

i maybe wrong but im pretty sure we were behind spurs going into that game at eastlands needing a win to jump above them
