'I live in hope'

Tottenham fan Chris Cowlin says he feels "confident" Spurs will avoid relegation as there is a "real belief and confidence" under Roberto de Zerbi. Monday's home draw against Leeds means Spurs need four points from their remaining two games against Chelsea and Everton to likely seal survival given their superior goal difference to West Ham. With Mathys Tel you stick with the positives - he scored a fantastic goal.

Hope is alive and well in North London. Tottenham fan Chris Cowlin is feeling "confident" that Spurs will dodge relegation, crediting manager Roberto de Zerbi for instilling a "real belief and confidence" in the squad. After Monday's tense home draw against Leeds, the math is simple: Spurs need four points from their final two matches—against Chelsea and Everton—to likely secure Premier League survival, thanks to a superior goal difference over rivals West Ham.

"I feel like it is an opportunity missed, but we are still in the driving seat," Cowlin told BBC Radio 5 Live Breakfast. "We need a minimum of four points to stay in the Premier League with two games remaining. It was a frustrating one last night as, like De Zerbi said, we deserved to win, but we just weren't clinical enough in front of goal."

The fans, however, were the real MVPs. "The fans were excellent and behind every single player," Cowlin added. "With Mathys Tel, you stick with the positives—he scored a fantastic goal. Antonin Kinsky made some big saves and a world-class save at the end. So when you look at if it was a point gained or two lost, it could easily have been a defeat in the end."

Cowlin's optimism is grounded in recent form. "I feel confident because in the last four games we've picked up eight points, two wins and two draws, and there is a real belief and confidence under De Zerbi. So thank goodness he came in when he did. It was a waste of time under Igor Tudor, but De Zerbi seems to be getting a tune out of these players, so I live in hope."

Now, all eyes turn to the scoreboard. "We now watch West Ham go to Newcastle and hopefully they don't pick up any points there. Then Spurs need to just go and get a result at Stamford Bridge. That's a huge game." For Spurs fans, every match is a must-wear moment—rep your colors loud and proud as the season reaches its dramatic finale.
