 Yeah, Sam loves a bung as we all know.

I had to ask my workmates what you meant - I only know of one thing that bung is used for

[luckywerthers]

f**k palace they will roll over for sure , need too win this  our selves! ! Come on Chelsea !!

[Barrettinator]

Spurs aren't winning BOTH Palace and Arsenal. I'd put 100 quid on that.

[stevo]

Spurs don't know how to apply pressure. They'll  now melt like a snowman in a heatwave.

Worst case scenario we lose to Everton and Spurs win vs Palace and Arsenal, our lead would be cut to 1 point. In the next round of matches, Spurs play before us so they would go top before we play our match which would really pile on the pressure. 

Can we not do this...

Let's enjoy the 7 point lead

Because Sam said himself after the Liverpool game he will be resting his important players because they won't be ready for a high intensity game v Spurs. He's concentrating on the Burnley game.

Cesc was great tonight - don't want to see him leave in the summer, he's one of those guys with so much quality that he always looks like he has all the time in the world. I reckon Cesc is going to play a huge part in our run in once we get past Everton.

We have two potential banana skins to get around (WBA Everton), but all six of Spuds remaining fixtures look like potential banana skins, even away to Hull (City of Culture 2017) on the last day of the season

[Sing the Blues]

Credit to our fans. Pulled us back into it when we were tottering there

Diego looks back to his old self.

Great to see JT back out there.  

Everton next. On we march. ..

ideally Hull will need something from that game - I heard Michael Dawson on the radio a few weeks ago saying that if Hull were safe by the last day then they'd love to see Spurs win the league.

Yes you beautiful blue bar stewards, awyin San Sebastian with work so been following the match on an intermittent internet, had nothing from 50 minutes on until the 80th minute, was horrible.

[Itsintheblood89]

Massive win tonight to get us back on track. Really puts the pressure back on spurs and quite frankly I don't care what they do as it's up to us to just keep winning. 

 

Win in all our home games and one of Everton or wba. Spurs aren't going to beat palace, arsenal and united. 

 

Also, hazard was decent tonight but kudos to cesc. 

[zile]

Great win tonight... Pleased for Diego, he was great tonight...

If he does that I will be sickened. A curse on that club and him if he does.

Just looked at Everton's recent home form in the League:

 

15 Apr 3-1 vs Burnley

 9 Apr 4-2 vs Leicester

18 Mar 4-0 vs Hull

11 Mar 3-0 vs WBA

25 Feb 2-0 vs Sunderland

 4 Feb 6-3 vs Bournemouth

15 Jan 4-0 vs Man City

 2 Jan 3-0 vs Southampton

19 Dec Lost 1-0 to Liverpool

13 Dec 2-1 vs Arsenal

On paper not the toughest run of fixtures, but 9 victories in their last 10 at Goodison is not to be taken lightly (the one defeat against Liverpool they lose every year). More worryingly given our defensive frailties they're averaging 3 goals a game in that time. How do we go about stopping their attacking threat? Or do we just risk it and try to outscore them??

Let's hope Koeman tries to outdo himself again by playing 3 at the back against us.

Diego 50 premier goals in 85 appearances 2nd behind jimmy 84 , Didier took 106. He's had a bad couple of months now give the guy a break.

Costa played well tonight, maybe being on the bench at Wembley has refocused him.

Like i have said for a million times, we need either cesc or willian starting our games. Set piece goals are crucial and they are both our best set piece deliverers. again st spurs willian scored 2, and against southampton fab had a ahan in 2. At this stage of the season every kind of goal counts and i hope one of willian and cesc start against everton. 

[Cam]

Huge win. The results against Spurs and this one have been enormous for the confidence. If we can beat Everton, I'll be delighted.
