All the Bowen knockers give me the right hump. He's been great for us since coming here, he's not a bloody robot! Do these knockers think he deliberately plays badly? He's always running & chasing, plus the opponents are always wary of him, & he's an excellent example to the youngsters, & always capable of scoring.

👍 We'd be sick if he was pissed off with too much responsibility on his shoulders & wants to go at season's end regardless of what happens. 🙊🙊⚒⚒⚒

21 Apr 2026 22:22:20
He wasn't poor against Palace. Their lb was excellent. He was the quickest we'd seen this season. Also, Bowen usually has 2 players close to him, therefore removing opposition players from their zones. Bloke gives 100% during every game. Those who go to away games never criticise the man. That tells a story.

22 Apr 2026 09:40:53
As usual, total nonsense, Brooking. Bowen had a poor game. He kept losing the ball. And, we're not continually knocking him, Chelmsford. Every good player can have an off day, and this was one of his. Nothing more, nothing less.

22 Apr 2026 10:12:32
On a positive note, the players I think have come on in leaps and bounds are Mavropanos and Soucek. The latter was terrible under Potter, but recently he has proved us doubters wrong, and long may it last.

The team do not need telling, there’s a cup final to be played every game

Cannot rely on others, getting no points; the weekend showed that

Equally, Forest and Spurs won’t win all their games either

After 21 games we had 14 points, now we have 32 and have a realistic chance of escape

Need to give it our best shot and hope for luck and providence to go our way, starting tonight.

Joyfull

Agreed, but the team selection and tactics Nuno decides on have a bearing on tonight's game. I hope we play a 4-4-2 and go for it, but Nuno's track record indicates he might play a 5 in defence, foregoing one of our forwards. We'll have to wait and see, but we're all agreed - this is one we can't lose. 🤞🏻

20 Apr 2026 18:15:06
I feel we have to win this one tonight. Sure, it's not the end of the world if we draw, but can't entertain a loss, or else the pendulum swings back in Spurs' favour even if we are ahead of them in the league.

I feel reasonably confident we will win, but we need to perform like we did in the 2nd half v Wolves, not the first half.

20 Apr 2026 18:47:28
De Zerbi is trying to apply pressure by saying Spurs will win all of their remaining games!! Considering they have to go to Wolves, Villa and Chelsea, with Leeds and Everton at home, it's a very bold claim. Even if they were playing well, that would still be a tough run in.

So Forest did what they needed to do and now it's up to us, with Everton at home next week, we've got a real opportunity now to put some distance between us and Spurs.

If there is a god, please let this happen lol. 😆 🙏 😂

19 Apr 2026 17:37:50
Mac, unfortunately, do you think Moyes might want to prove a point to the Board about his previous treatment by the club, but, as we know, he's not on the field of play!
All becoming very squeaky bum time. 🙊🙈 But first Palace tomorrow to put more space between us & Spurs. ⚒⚒⚒⚒ COYI.

18 Apr 2026 19:37:51
Get out of jail card there! Up to us now. We must get something Monday night. Joyfull

18 Apr 2026 20:34:21
Yup it's up to us now. Spurs at Wolves next, and they will be fighting for Premier League survival.

18 Apr 2026 21:16:39
Mac, I think it best to say that one will be a Spurs win. So we need to win on Monday to make tonight's game really count!

18 Apr 2026 22:54:51
Wolves win at home but lose away. They will want to put the boot into Spurs.

19 Apr 2026 16:02:26
We need to go for it. Leeds and Forest both winning looks like it's just us and Spurs now. Every point counts, it's not the time to be trying to go for a single point, we need wins. Spurs were much better yesterday, and will fancy beating Wolves. We need to extend that gap.

20 Apr 2026 06:43:19
36 points isn't going to keep Forest up. They're bang in it still.

18 Apr 2026 19:35:18
How big could Rutters 95th min equaliser for Brighton turn out to be, especially if we win Monday night.

19 Apr 2026 09:03:02
🤞 🤞 🤞 What a goal from Mitoma. That man is great, would love him at our place. A lot of Asian players, real grafters with skill. 👍 👍 COYI tomorrow, a lifeline has been given to us. A win would be amazing, could almost save us depending on other results. Leeds well safe now. 😡 ⚒ ⚒ ⚒

20 Apr 2026 03:16:01
Leeds being well safe could benefit us, as the last game of the season they won't have much to play for. It's looking likely a 2-team shootout between us and Spurs. If we can get the 3 points tonight, and then manage a win v Everton, I think we will nearly be there.

Palace lost both Lacroix and Wharton to injuries tonight... Both likely to miss our game with them. Great news as past their first 11, they don't have much depth.

17 Apr 2026 08:28:21
And they were allowed out on the lash last night in Firenze. So only Sat and Sun to recover for us.

If Spurs lose tomorrow, Monday is a season-defying, must-win match.

17 Apr 2026 09:41:01
Take your meaning, but whilst mathematics are there, there is no safety, as you are aware. Just got to do our best come Monday, Joyfull.

17 Apr 2026 12:13:28
We've got to do our best to win every game. 🤞🏻

18 Apr 2026 12:16:15
Totally agree with you both. If we treat every game as a must win game, hopefully it will be enough. Relegating Spurs at the same time would be the biggest bonus as well!

18 Apr 2026 13:43:40
Dabber, we should treat every game from the start of the season as a must win game. If we did, maybe we wouldn't be in this position now, depending on other sides to lose. 🙊🙊⚒⚒⚒

18 Apr 2026 14:41:29
I don't want to get ahead of myself here, but if Arsenal fail to win the league, Spurs get relegated, and we manage to stay up, it's gonna seem not too bad a season compared to how it looked in early January.

18 Apr 2026 15:44:43
Hammer, don't want to be a spoiler, mate, but that's like "What would you like for Xmas". I tend to be a bit of a bore, mate, as I only try to deal with reality & not "ifs or whats". I tend to think of the worst scenario, then if that doesn't happen, then happy days! We all have our wishful thinking, of course, that's natural, but we all learn in life, there's no real certainty in sport no matter what.

🤞👍⚒⚒⚒

18 Apr 2026 16:29:48
I think most of us are pessimistic. It's just like our club tune, and, like my dreams, I, like others, totally agree that it's all about what we do and we should concentrate only on that, but the way the fixtures fall this weekend, it is difficult not to focus the mind more on the Spurs result than our own.

Spurs win, and I will be back to my morbid self. 🤣
