Spurs vs City - Tuesday 14th May 20:00

[HCZ_Reborn]

Arguably the most important game in our season, being played out between Manchester City and what can be best described as Reticent Surrogates.

I was hopeful that Brighton, Forest, Wolves or Fulham could get something. But hope and definitely not expectation. Not to say that there is expectation tonight, but I think it’s possible that Spurs can get something even if I’m not overly convinced they will.

Even before the Villa defeat, it seemed likely that this game would prove crucial.

I will say that after the Villa defeat, it’s to our immense credit that we have taken things this far

If City win, they are to all intents and purposes champions elect

If Spurs win, it could be argued that this is what we will be


If it’s a draw, we become favourites but it’s still up for grabs giving Everton will provide more of a dogged opposition than West Ham


I’ve spoken to a couple of Spurs supporting friends. One said that they think Spurs aren’t ready for the champions league, but that the worst result for them would be a draw.

[Letters]

I hope Spurs win, tbh.

[Marc Overmars]

Trying not to get my hopes up as I do think this will be fairly routine for City. If the game was earlier in the season I’d give Spurs a chance but at this stage and with what’s now at stake for City, I don’t see them slipping up and I think they’ll win by 2 or 3 goals. It would be very out of character for them to drop points now.

A draw would still mean quite a nail biting final day because you’d think City will demolish West Ham if they have to and wipe out our +3 advantage easily.

[Letters]

A draw would make for a very stressful final day. I back us to beat Everton but yeah, City could absolutely take apart West Ham and beat us on GD :sick:

[Ollie the Optimist]

The funniest scenario would be spurs losing tonight, their fans celebrating but them West Ham get a result against city, arsenal beat Everton and win the league

I dunno. It would be pretty Spursy to let their fans down for most of the season - after the standard good start to get their hopes up, before dashing them - and then win the one game which would push Arsenal to the brink of the title.

[dostoy]

How would we be feeling and what would we want to happen if the situation was reversed ?

[dostoy]

I now have the Spurs mindset.

I spoke to Dan, Mr Levy to you, this morning and he assured me that he is going to spend at least 1 billion pounds of his own money in the summer buying the best players in the world. He then promised me that next season Spurs will win the PL, the CL, the LC and the FA Cup. Even if Spurs do not finish in the top 4, they will be playing CL football next season and WILL win it.

I have no doubt whatsoever that Spurs will win tonight 24-0 as 8 of their wonderful players will get a hat trick.

I also know for a fact that at the next general election the blues will whitewash the reds. There will not be a single labour MP in Parliament at the end of this year.

I also know that Father Christmas lives in the North Pole because I have seen him there and he is a personal friend of mine.

I am a Spurs fan until about 10pm tonight. I will spend the next week either in therapy or trying to wash off the kind of dirt that cannot be washed off.

I don't need to say COYS because I know they will win comfortably tonight.

[Letters]

How would we be feeling and what would we want to happen if the situation was reversed ?

That's a good question.
I mean, let's face it, we wouldn't want Spurs to win the league, would we?
I think when it comes to it you always want your team to win, but it would be pretty sickening if us getting a result could potentially let Spurs in for the title though :sick:

[Marc Overmars]

How would we be feeling and what would we want to happen if the situation was reversed ?

If we had a chance of qualifying for the CL then I would absolutely back us to win. If we didn’t, then I guess there wouldn’t be any tears over it due to the silver lining of spoiling our rivals title charge.

I think what most Spurs fans have forgotten here is that their team will try to win because absolutely no professional sets out to lose a game. Their opinion means sod all really and I doubt a rivalry with Arsenal is going to play on the minds of players and coaches from all corners of the globe. Pretty sure Daniel Levy is desperate to be in the CL as well given the riches that come with it and the shiny stadium that needs paying off.

Spurs won’t win tonight because they’re shit though, not because of any other factors.

This exactly, though it won't stop any of us hoping for a miracle - or not me anyway

Can we just add Sheffield Utd then beating Spurs on the final day to mean they don't finish 4th anyway? :cloud9:

*but yes that would be f*****g funny

[Mac76]

Is anyone going to watch?

I never watch Spuds on principle but maybe I'll try having it on the radio to see how that goes - if Citeh get the first goal though I'm switching off :sulk:

[Letters]

What principle is that?

I won't be watching because I don't have the channel it's on, I probably won't bother finding a stream. I'll watch the highlights if City don't win.
So I won't see the highlights either.

[Mac76]

The principle that they're a bunch of ****s and why would I give up valuable time watching them

[WMUG]

Yeah I'm watching, at least until the 2nd City goal goes in on 20 minutes.

[Mac76]

Yeah I'm watching, at least until the 2nd City goal goes in on 20 minutes.

you think they'll make a slow start then?

If they win, I’ll consider getting Audere Est Facere shaved into the back of my head

Nah. I’m absolutely convinced with how this is going to play out so I don’t want to waste my time.

Will just follow the updates online and maybe tune in if a miracle is unfolding.

[WMUG]

:ilt:

[dostoy]

I'm definitely watching it and looking forward to it.

You won't see this situation happen again for a long time.

I want to see my fellow Spurs fans reaction if City score which is very unlikely as they won't even have a shot on target in the whole match.

Come on the mighty SPURS

[HCZ_Reborn]

What principle is that?

It’s kind of the football tribalism equivalent of virtue signalling I guess :shrug:

I usually will watch a Spurs game if I think they’ll lose that game, either that or we are playing them

Or in rare circumstances where a Spurs victory benefits Arsenal


If they are playing a game I expect them to win, I’m not going to go out of my way to watch. But I can’t say I go out of my way to avoid it either. I’ll just produce a disgruntled “ugh” if they score

[HCZ_Reborn]

Nah. I’m absolutely convinced with how this is going to play out so I don’t want to waste my time.

It’s the hope that kills you

For me it’s a kind of nothing to lose free hit

I felt the title was probably lost to us after the Villa defeat (and in fact I didn’t think we’d take it to the wire)

If City wins I’ll be disappointed but hardly devestated.

I'm at peace with the thought that City aren't going to slip, but that was partly based on the thought that we had the harder run in and even if City did slip we were pretty unlikely to win at WHL and Old Trafford. And then we did. So... Yeah, now it suddenly feels possible. But City still have to slip and Spurs are shit, so...

I would almost rather Spurs lose than it be a draw. That's stupid, because a draw means it's possible we can win the league on GD. But I can see us getting a nervy 2-0 vs Everton, City absolutely thumping West Ham 5-0 and us losing it on GD anyway :ilt:

[dostoy]

My final prediction is at least 24-0 to Spurs.

I doubt Man City will get out of their own half the whole game.

Its going to be a procession, an absolute walk in the park.

Paddy Power are always spot on when it comes to laughs

They even gave the guy who had the NotBigSam Twitter page his own column

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ange has picked the back line Tottenham fans wanted him to select against us.

That is hilarious.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tottenham: Vicario; Porro, Romero, Dragusin, Van de Ven; Bentancur, Hojberg, Sarr; Johnson, Son, Maddison.
Subs: Austin, Skipp, Gil, Royal, Lo Celso, Kulusevski, Scarlett, Moore, Hall.

Man City: Ederson; Walker, Akanji, Dias, Gvardiol; Kovacic, Rodri; Silva, De Bruyne, Foden; Haaland.
Subs: Ortega, Stones, Ake, Grealish, Doku, Alvarez, Nunes, Bobb, Lewis.

[Marc Overmars]

Come on Spurs, don’t be useless for once in your lives.

[WMUG]

Van de Ven "having a go" at left back.

Sigh.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What's the etiquette for a Tottenham goal here, one exclamation mark?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ederson saves from Bentancur.

How didn't that De Bruyne shot skew in? Offside at least before it.

[HCZ_Reborn]

Van der Ven is not a left back

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a save from Vicario.

Hojbjerg. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hojlund? Gary Neville has Man Utd on the brain.

[dostoy]

Where are Werner and Richarlison?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Yellow for Bentancur.

[dostoy]

Does Gary Neville want Man City to win the PL?

Yes most likely

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dragusin. :bow:

Most pundits probably do because it’s light work for them. City are a machine blah blah blah.

Would be quite funny watching them having to analyse how a rookie coach they all wrote off has broken the Pep-Klopp dominance.

Not about his job I don’t think

It’s because it’s easier for City to win the title than a team that would remind him what was possible for United if it wasn’t so disastrously run as a club in terms of who they bring in, in terms of coaching and playing personnel

[WMUG]

Fuck's sake couldn't they have conceded twice in the first half so I could give up hope early on?

Now they're gonna drag it out.

Ah shit.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-1 Haaland.

[Niall_Quinn]

Spuds are the much better team here, relatively speaking of course. Two incredibly boring, shit teams. Not over yet. Although the ref card hasn't been played yet, so it'll be an uphill climb.

[Niall_Quinn]

Jeez, is De Brown really that big a girl? Embarrassed for him.

[Niall_Quinn]

The fags are now having a lunch break.

[Niall_Quinn]

De Brown is 100% okay, he's not injured, and he'll back running around in 2 minutes. So why do players do that shit? It's so embarrassing. Fucking girlies. And look at his hair. WTF?

[Niall_Quinn]

Now their queer keeper is feigning injury.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ederson taken out by Romero.

[Niall_Quinn]

Stretcher! It's hilarious. Ukraine vs Russia on the pitch.

The gypos have their goal now so this is what they do.

[Niall_Quinn]

Looks like the drama queen will live. What a relief. Thought it was fatal there for a minute. Pathetic.

[Niall_Quinn]

He's going to play on lads, on the basis of sound medical advice. LOL. What is this? I suppose if the officials let them get away with it you might as well do it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ederson off, Ortega on.

De Bruyne off, Doku on.

[HCZ_Reborn]

He's going to play on lads, on the basis of sound medical advice. LOL. What is this? I suppose if the officials let them get away with it you might as well do it.

They both have come off.

[Niall_Quinn]

Subbed. Serves him right. If you play the woke game then live by the consequences. And the fucked up commentators pretending he's been critically wounded. Football, eh? Not really. Get the girls on, they are tougher.

[Niall_Quinn]

They both have come off.

Yeah, couple of fags.

[Niall_Quinn]

If only the spuds would play some basic football they'd have this lot.

[Niall_Quinn]

LOL, Maddison has suffered a painful injury to his boot! Agony.

[Niall_Quinn]

God the spuds are pure shite.

[Niall_Quinn]

I can play better than that Saar bloke, and I'm not joking.

Is that news to you? :unsure:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Son fucked it.

[Niall_Quinn]

Haven't watched them all season. Didn't know they were this bad.

Meanwhile Song has just made a lot of money with the yellow bookies.

[dostoy]

Son!!!!!!

OMG

[HCZ_Reborn]

Penalty to City

[Letters]

:lol:

It’s the history of Tottenham…

[Niall_Quinn]

Never a pen in a million years. Although, yes, by today's shitty standards, pen.

[Marc Overmars]

Imagine relying on Spurs to do something.

[Niall_Quinn]

The giant girlie is going to take it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-2 Citeh, Haaland.

[Niall_Quinn]

Still weird to think you have to let Arabs in and spend a hundred billion to produce a display like this. Not saying Arsenal were any better, but it just shows what a low standard we have.

[dostoy]

Guardiolas acting when Son had that chance was hilarious.

[Niall_Quinn]

Even when 2-0 down and in stoppage time, they STILL pass it sideways and backwards. Football is fucked.

[Niall_Quinn]

Guardiolas acting when Son had that chance was hilarious.

That bald cunt ruined football.

[Marc Overmars]

So we need a West Ham draw at the Etihad as our GD is +1.

[Niall_Quinn]

So we need a West Ham draw at the Etihad.

Not impossible. I would think the hammers can put up a much better display than these spud shitkickers. Although, tbf, they didn't roll over and were the better side. It's just they are Soooooooo poor. Hammers might do better, but the ref is still there as a backup. So no, pretty much over now. Bad idea to lose to Villa.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-2 FT. Spuds. :lol:

[Marc Overmars]

From relying on Spurs to David Moyes. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Antonio promised they'd draw. :bow:

[Mac76]

Checked the score at HT then didn't dare look again until just now

Oh well at least there's no stress now before the final day, it's well and truly over

[Marc Overmars]

Such a garbage effort from Son. He’s normally pretty composed when through like that. Definitely bottled it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ange isn't happy. :lol:

Realised what kind of club he is at I think.

[Marc Overmars]

Ange isn't happy. :lol:

Realised what kind of club he is at I think.

He seems like a decent bloke and someone of integrity. Something which can’t be said for his fanbase.

I reckon he’ll go mental at some point next season and get the sack.

Yeah. That's how I feel. Let's just win the game, get 89 points. We may get a miracle, we almost certainly won't. But either way the progress this year has been clear this season. If it's not enough to win the league then so be it. We've lost out to a team who everyone knows has been cheating for the last 15 years. We've pushed them all the way, you can't ask much more than that.

He’s nailed it. Spurs are definition of small club.

Now for West Ham to get a result and us win the league to see their celebrations be for nothing

[Letters]

To be fair to Spurs fans (which I'd concede is generally not a good idea), it was literally 3 blokes. Look how cropped that photo is.
Pathetic behaviour, certainly, but WHL did not erupt in celebration at the opposition scoring. But the "Are you watching Arsenal?" was more widespread and it is very small club mentality. But that's what happens when you're the smaller club in a rivalry. If you don't have much of your own success to celebrate the only thing left is enjoying the scraps of your rival failing. Not that Arsenal have failed this season, we've only lost out to a club who have been cheating for the last 15 years.

They tend to celebrate over nothing anyway, so they won't notice.

What's the bet De Brown and that Shakespearian GK of theirs will make remarkable recoveries? I know Saka can be a bit hysterical if somebody brushes up against him, but these two are a massive joke. Do they have wives? Wonder what the girls think of their "men" acting up like that? Maybe they are lesbians, there's a lot of that going around these days. Or, worse, feminists. Maybe they like their "men" to have dolly-bird haircuts roll around the floor.

I think the Hammers will give them a game. As we've always said, Moyes is a master tactician in these situations. Well maybe we never ever said that, but it could be true this time.

Ever watched a rugby match - played by men. As in men, not footballers. You can apologise for these faggots all you want, but I still see them rolling around crying. You think just because one of the cunts actually got injured it wipes away the thousand feigned injuries and the femininity that has infected the game? Up to you. Doesn't work for me. Never liked male pussies.

The fact is that you went on and on as you always do, and when it turns out one of the players did suffer an actual injury you turn it into a general appraisal and then compare apples and oranges.
