Sums it up, I'm not sure we bottle them but always seem to get a red card or injury or lose a silly goal in the defining games.

Probably still going up but we do seem to f**k these games up fact! Derby in the play-offs, The Massive last season and Burnley and Derby at home, Palace also we f**k them up
Right. That year we played Derby we snuck into the playoffs with a last gasp goal at Forest. Derby, if I recall, were one of the best outfits in the league that season and we were quite categorically second best and frankly lucky to even be there.
Last season we lost out on promotion by two goals leading us to our second 'bottling' in which we lost FOUR players to injury in the first leg and were unlucky not to be three up in the first twenty minutes of the second leg.
For my money our only ever legitimate bottling was, as you say, against Palace.
But whatever, sure, we're bottlers.
Read my post mate didn't say we were bottlers just said we f**k up the games that matter!

I read it. I took your statement of us consistently ****ing up big games that you thought we were bottlers. Seems reasonable enough an assumption.
I stand corrected.

U may not like Barton but he is the reason wer mid table now. U will need this type of player next yr ... watch Colbeck when knocky tried to take a quick throw in . THAT is the premier league. If ur naive u get beat.

This, why can't we play like we did on Saturday in every game.

ain't this the truth. And a request from me to the rest of the North Stand. If we can ditch the we're already promoted songs that the footballing gods are taking a dim view towards, that would be good. From a self respect perspective if nothing else. Even heavy drinking isn't an excuse. We ain't on our way just yet. We're if anything likely to **** up if you look at the history books. Just saying. Like.

Always is an exaggeration.
If we had drawn against Reading & Newcastle we'd have been 1 point worse off now. Mandy's the time I read that we'd rather have a win & a defeat, than two draws.
We have got a good record against the top 6. Newcastle are the only team that are going to take 6 points off of us this season. That is a fact.

Superstitious nonsense.
I'd rather get relegated than have Barton in my team.

what's superstitious. We look extremely capable of blowing our automatic chances and only an idiot thinks we can go up via the POs...so why sing (in February) that we're on our way? I'd leave it until we've bossed the other two likely candidates. Which btw we haven't. In fact we're last or 1st loser in that mini league. So it's a bit premature to sing that song.
Some would say arrogant. And they've got a point. I just hope to God we don't end up with the proverbial egg wiping exercise.

Whilst u may not like Barton he is a superb midfielder . There are comments saying u would rather be relegated but Ramires should be the target of your aggression .

On his last warning
We bottle the big games because our fans expect us to mess up.
It's called Spurs syndrome.
