Palace were doing a good job of shutting them down until Sakho was taken off. And I really didn't expect them to do anything after they conceded. The Liverpool win secure their place in the PL, so it would've been a shock if they turn up like they did against us, Arsenal and Liverpool.

Spurs were not that good and the stats flatter them. Yes, they dominate possession and weren't threatened but that was more to Palace's game plan than their superiority. Could've easy been a 0-0 but Hennessy who was a Neuer against us was beaten by a 30-yard shot tonight.

Still, they grind out a result without playing that good in comparison to the last couple of weeks.Arsenal are very bad atm but if we win, the pressure on them + a NLD derby I can see them finally losing points.Won't get my hopes up for an Arsenal win but a draw will do. It seems these two draw a lot in their last games.

not trying to sound negative, but Spurs ability to grind out results lately and that bit of luck is what´s keeping them in the title race, add to that the clean sheets, something we havent done for a while and it worries me a lot because we will be facing Everton next and they are no Southampton, Everton are a great aerial threat and also at set pieces, need i say more? God i would love a performance from us just like the 5-0 win earlier in the season. Cheers

Me being the eternal pessimist I am, I have a feeling Spuds will thrash Arsenal 3-0 or something.

Everton can look fantastic one week and awful the next, so hopefully we get the shit version this weekend.

That would be their home and away form. They're like 10x better at Goodison than when having to go elsewhere,

Check my post above you mate :) 

Muchas gracias!

There's nothing I despise more than spreading depressing thoughts. We as fans have to be stronger than that. The ideal mentality is just to have the the right balance of rationality and belief. We absolutely can beat Everton and WBA. It's not like last season or any other bad periods we've had.

Spurs will lose to Arsenal this weekend.

Hopefully. Cannot be arsed about those pesky gooners as well but the Spurs fans are so overconfident of them beating Arsenal (and some of them of beating us to the PL title) they're starting to sound arrogant as fuck to me. 

Hope Arsenal nick a win and Wenger dropping his pants to the home fans with his arms spread.
