At the beginning of the season if you said Tottenham would finish where they are at the moment, you would say thats a good season for them.Realistically did we think they were title contenders? To be honest I thought they were with the squad theyve got, but I had Liverpool and Manchester City above them as favourites so you cant really complain if they fell out of the top-two.But to finish outside of the top-four would be a very disappointing season, so its in the balance. Its in their hands. This is a huge game. Winning the north London derby almost puts everything back on track and theyve still got to go to man city and Liverpool, so there are so very tough fixtures coming up for Tottenham.I believe they will stay there, but I think they have to win tomorrow to be able to do that.
