Not far off Arrys' best sequence last season (one loss in 19 consecutive PL games) .
Yesterday showed that for a certain calibre of teams, they have a small window to do Spurs when playing meh, otherwise you will not beat them by FT.
I also note that Spurs have scored goals in games in 2013 in the last 5 mins at least 4 times this season. That tells you as much as not conceding in the final 10.

Can't believe we haven't had a penalty in the PL yet all season

"Can't believe we haven't had a penalty in the PL yet all season"
Probably relates to the fact we are not working too many opportunities inside the box (re our goals from outside the box stats) .
indeed....apparently after the EFC game AVB changed training so that it was more intense in the final part of training, so to keep conditioning and focus at high levels for the duration.
As you point out, it also sees us looking fitter and stronger at the end of games which is delivering goals....long gone is the perception we are a weak touch and fragile in the last 15 minutes of games
we look a much fitter team this season than last season tbh.
infact, i have never seen a spurs side so fine tuned.

Actually I am now quite worried that the Inter games will take the sting out of us. These will be 2 hugely draining games if we take them as seriously as the Lyon ties, which I can't imagine not happening.....

You really don't seem to score that many goals, and Bale accounts for almost half of your goals over that period Just highlights the fact you need a decent striker even more.
"You really don't seem to score that many goals"
Defoe has been injured +/- in a bit of a lull in form.
Fortunately Bale has fronted up to shame Adebayor.
The only thing i'd like to see us improve on is putting teams to the sword a bit more. Last year, when we were good, we were really good. I don't think i can remember one caning during this season. Arsenal and Liverpool as a comparison, have at least shown that they are capable of punishing teams heavily on their day. We've not done that. Which makes me think we have hit our peak, whereas the others haven't yet. Even if we beat Arsenal on Sunday, i wouldn't bet against them closing the gap before the end of the season. We've got a right bitçh of a run in.
who's this 'Og' player, and is it worth considering playing him ahead of Adebayor, considering he has the same goalscoring record?
how many sitters does ade wanna miss this season?
the ones at sunderland were laughable but last nights one takes the prize

Not all of us are blessed with a £70m strike force.
Knowing our luck, Arsenal will end our unbeaten run!
I agree Bahamas, two games vs Inter will be very draining.
it will be draining but we have a decent sized squad of quality.
siggy i feel will start being more and more important for us as time goes on

Hope AVB sees sense and buys a striker to replace him next season, he's *****ng useless. I'd rather Holtby or even Dempsey play up front than him!
