Spurs are much better than Arsenal!
We can beat Spurs, but it very much depends on which Spurs turns up. We'd also need a huge slice of luck - which isn't coming our way lately.

[Albion] Is beating Spurs at home that far fetched?

Yes, I was 9 or 10, and my parents took four of us for my birthday treat.
As the battle raged in the North Stand, they were ensuring we were safe at the front.

Yes they will. £100m's spent on a squad that crushes the likes of Brighton every time. The facts of modern football life. Kane will score .... Brighton can't even stop shorter players scoring headers with ease.
Our cup final was Hudd. Now hoping for 2 others to flop.

Hopefully the one without Kane, Eriksen and Alli and with bad luck gods throughout their team ... even then I doubt we have a prayer

Its the hope that kills you.......
Any of us who have watched the last four games know that the season has caught up with us mentally and physically. Most of the squad have put a real shift in, often in the face of intense pressure and its beginning to show. They can no longer cope with a constant barrage as Palace showed yesterday. Concentration strained in recent games, snapped and it didn't make good viewing. To their credit, they summon ed up a big effort in the second half but they are draining a near empty tank. CH has not rotated that much and some players are playing every minute of every high pressure game. We lack the quality to score in clusters and therefore the intensity is that much more.
Tottenham cannot afford to relax and give Chelsea a sniff of top four. They will be gunning for us and most of the big guns will start. You will see a difference in class on Tuesday and its just something we have to accept. We lack that little bit of edge and quality that sorts out the contenders from the also rans. They won't blow us away but they will beat us. Where are any more points coming from, I just don't know. We have lost momentum, post Arsenal and I can't see any of the remaining opposition allowing us to regain it. They will bully us out of games, despite our battling qualities.

Yes.
Beat Spurs at home on Tuesday, and I'll take my football boots to the home game against Utd and streak.

Playing BG out of position is definitely a help

More likely another Liverpool or Chelsea type performance, we have NO chance of winning on Tuesday

This. They seem w**kers with a bit of spite to their game, but Alli, Dembele, Sanchez, will over power, out pace and beat Brighton with their height.
Cue the lickers drooling over Eriksen & Co aftwerwards. Very expensively gathered.
and the Spurs fan.

How many people thought we could beat Arsenal and we did. Footballs a funny old game

Sad but true. Don't have any great hopes for the Spurs game, but I still believe we'll pick up a shock point or three somewhere - just don't ask me to guess where! The fact that pretty much every player is running on empty is a worry though.
Many did, what with Arsenal being a shadow of the team that Spurs is.
The Albion going into the game from a long unbeaten run.
Arsenal having been beaten all round Europe.
The Albion squad being at full strength.
Quite how you can draw a comparison with this current shower of a team, who can't beat Huddersfield or one man palace, beggars belief.

As borne out by the PL away table. Spuds 10 away wins already. Light years ahead of this awful Arsenal squad.

I really have no feelings for Spurs either way, but Eriksen is a very good footballer. I really hope he, and a few of the others, are rested against us before their Cup game next week.

A hard-fought (or lucky) point is probably all we can hope for and for that to happen we'll have to (re-) learn some basic defending techniques such as marking, closing down, avoiding needless fouls and not giving the ball away when not under pressure. We're loose, aren't we?
