This season Tottenham has repeatedly suffered an endless decline after being caught off guard by lower-tier teams. Even the supercomputer seems to have turned its back on Tottenham.
Spurs Web quoted Opta's supercomputer updated predicted final standings for the 2025-2026 English Premier League (EPL) on the 9th (Korean time), reporting that Tottenham is expected to remain in 12th place with 50 points.
This Opta supercomputer prediction came after Tottenham's 2-3 loss to Bournemouth on the 8th. It fell two places from last week and the points total also dropped by one.
Tottenham continued a frustrating run after drawing consecutively with Brentford and Sunderland. Ultimately they sustained a critical blow by losing to Bournemouth. Pushed down to 14th in the league (27 points), Tottenham is now struggling even to hold midtable. Fulham and Crystal Palace have already overtaken Tottenham.
The most shocking part is the probability of qualifying for the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) Champions League (UCL). Tottenham's chance of entering the top four, which was 1.7% before the Bournemouth loss, has now plummeted to 0.87%. It has effectively been declared impossible without a "miracle."
Fans' patience with manager Thomas Frank (53) has also run out. Tottenham, which barely avoided relegation last season with 38 points and finished 17th, had aimed to bounce back this season.
But the newly launched Frank managerial regime has consistently produced performances below expectations. Voices demanding Frank's dismissal and the appointment of a successor have already erupted among fans.
Of course an arithmetic hope remains. Tottenham is only four points behind eighth-place Chelsea (31 points) and five points behind seventh-place Manchester United and Newcastle United (both 32 points).
However, considering Tottenham's recent dismal performances, most assessments say it will not be easy to close that gap. While a 12th-place ranking may be better than last season, it is clearly a humiliating result given Tottenham's reputation as a club.
With the FA Cup round of 64 match against Aston Villa on the 11th approaching and Tottenham in their worst mood, can they laugh off the supercomputer's cruel prophecy and pull off a turnaround? For now the outlook is negative.
Meanwhile Arsenal's chance of winning is dominant. They recorded a whopping 86.77%, far surpassing second-place Manchester City's 8.88%. With leader Arsenal recording a 99.89% chance of qualifying for the Champions League, Manchester City follows with 97.89% and Aston Villa with 95.67%.
Fourth-place Liverpool's Champions League probability has fallen sharply to 58.78%. But with fifth-place Chelsea at 13.32% creating a large gap, the supercomputer effectively predicted Liverpool would take fourth place.
