I want a win tonight simple as , I think the term bottling it could be used when we blew are 10 point gap over Arsenal.
Liverpool vs Palace 3-0 up and draw bottle job.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That's one way of looking at it. Another, and more correct, way of looking at it is we were going gung ho literally trying to score 10 goals and, in the process, left ourselves very exposed at the back.

Spurs are a strange side that don't keep too many clean sheets but don't concede much
For the record I think we will win tonight and win comfortably but I would not call it bottling if we failed to take maximum points.
This is west hams biggest game of the season they treat us as there top rivals (God knows why) and they have some unbeaten run at the Boleyn ground. It's different to....
West brom at home. Wba are not in the greatest form and play the usual defensive pulis style away from home. Failing to break that down. That's a bad thing as the world knows pulis is coming to play that same style he always plays. Would that be bottling? I would say yes they were unlucky but the likes of pulis fat Sam there not gonna surprise you tactically on the day away from home they always settle for the draw. You should be anticipating it. Like Spurs changing the game when 1-0 down to Sunderland winning 4-1.
Man united away a mix mash of a team and Arsenal put up no fight whatsoever that's bottling it. Cos they didn't have the bottle to fight in the game.

Pool were 3-0 up and with an inferior goal difference saw an opportunity to catch City so went gung-ho. Plan backfired, should have shut the shop at 3-1

But how would it be classed as bottling it if we are still in the title hunt? We can still win it even without 3 points tonight.

Same goes for Leicester, but according to Spurs fans they bottled it yesterday
----------------------------------------------------------------------
According to ONE OR TWO Spurs fans, the majority on here are not childish WUMs blindly trying to make a point.

It's the Tottenham way to bottle it like we did in 2006 and 2012! Although only Leicester have scored more league goals than us so far this season (51 to our 49), if Harry isn't in top form we can't rely on anyone else to be a prolific scorer. (having said that I'd rather Chadli starts matches than Lamela!) But we've currently got the best defensive record in the league and I'll be surprised if we concede more than 1 this evening.
Team spirit is very good and Poch won't let us get carried away with the prospect of us winning the league, just focusing on the next game is the best approach.
I think Spurs fans are celebrating a bit prematurely on here tbh.
Its still Arenal's to lose IMO, but a win tonight and at the weekend would make a very strong statement.

Whilst I agree we are probably all going a bit over the top with so many games left, but I don`t get how you think it Arsenal`s to lose, they are in awful form, and have been for weeks now. They beat a 10 man Leicester, a 10 man Bournemouth, but have done very little of note 2016. Yes, they are still in the race, but frankly I really don`t rate them, and I think Spurs can beat them with a bit to spare on Sunday. They may even struggle to put away Swansea tonight.

I understand your point but I disagree, they have more experience than us, and are a very small amount of points behind thus putting them as slight favourites.

Let me get this straight, being a few points BEHIND makes them slight favourites so keeping the same logic ...if they were a lot of points behind ...they'd be massive favourites ..........if you say so
