So if this stays as it is and win tomorrow then we'd be a point behind Spurs with at least equal goal difference.
Insane when you think about it. We were favourites to lose the derby which would have widened the distance between the teams to thirteen points.
It just goes to show that you can't fake quality in the end, favorable fixture lists or not. It's easy to have six good months. It's extremely hard to gain some kind of consistency on the other hand. It's what separates big clubs from occasional challengers for Champions League spots.
