Goal difference is the key

[belondon]

I will say this, and it comes from a strong supportor, through thick and thin, who likes this team, man for man, who sits every week wiating to see the players he loves and respects repay him for his support, trust and cash... but who is often left let down....

I want the Spurs that plays against Arsenal or Liverpool, and I keeo getting the Spurs that plays against Newcastle. . .

If we dont get relegated this season, it will come down to GOAL DIFFERENCE. And he's why.

1. I look at the league and I dont see a team i KNOW we can beat. We play better agains the big clubs, and we play p1ss poor against the "physical" lower teams...
2. When/if we get beaten we wont get SPANKED like the other bottom clubs, we only loose by a goal here and there... (sort of)
3. As above, defensively we are solid - woody - king - dawson (well kind of)
4. Strangley we will pick up points against the "big" clubs and drop them "mid-week" in the rain, up north against the small ones.
5. Cup success is glossing over our p1ss poor league performance. It gives us a false attitude to ourselves.
6. League teams have learnt how to play against us home and away.
7. We can't find the players in the market we need
8. Our fixture list doesn't look too good...
9. Squad is shallow.
10. The three teams that will finish blow us will all leak goals . . . . WBA, Blackburn, Portsmouth maybe Stoke, Sunderland, Middlesbrough are already -6 or -10 worse than us and we're getting stronger in the back and they're getting weaker. Portsmouth for example have Villa, Liverpool and Manoo coming in the next few weeks. thats a lot of goals against.

My point is this. Paying attention to the 93rd min is key to our survival. The importance of keeping our heads up, focus and attitude even when we are 0:0 or one nil down is going to be key...

There is a BIG different this season from loosing 1:0 to loosing 2:0. Yes its about points, but our back four, need to be in the game to the death.

If we cant get the results, we need to watch the GF.
