No. No they won't. I’ve watched City a lot lately. It’s not the City that dropped so many points in December. They are injury free and all look fresh. Spurs on the other hand look lost with players kicking off with each other too. Unless it’s one of those freak days where city miss chance after chance and Spurs nick a goal I’m expecting City to smash them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Townsend Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 In a way we are being greedy. I mean we are 7 points clear! We'd have taken being clear on goal difference at the start of the season. We have such a great chance- would have been nice to wrap it up yesterday but we still are very likely to do the job. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 City will still need to win that game just as much as Spurzzz do, as Arsenal are still in the hunt for the title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We really need Arse to beat Manure to really put pressure on City. Then I think they’ll hammer them. Even a draw will do with their goal difference. Hopefully Arse keeps the foot down and doesn’t have a game where they’re off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That City need to win that game to take it to final day. If Arsenal drop points to United it's a different story.

WakefieldVillan Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 I really wish we hadn't conceded those two 90 minute goals at home to Spurs, that 4 goal swing would have meant Spurs definitely needing to win all 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, but more recently the two goals Liverpool let slip had similar impact. Let's hope Burnley have fight in them. They know a win puts safety in their hands of Chelsea keep winning and do Forest Could be a situation where Palace are literally playing for nothing not even league position when we play them. If Spurs win by only one goal against Burnley and we draw or lose by only one goal to Liverpool. Spurs will need to beat City So many permutations. I'm just backing Spurs for 4th to do the emotional hedge and leaving it at that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll just pick off Spurs on the counter and expose them at set pieces with their height (see how they won the FA cup game in Jan). If they're 3-0 up aswell they won't let Spurs back in like Arsenal did either. I'm very relaxed still even if we're making life a bit harder with the last two league games. Spurs chance to really put the pressure on us was Newcastle and Chelsea away and they failed miserably in both. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great post and it's what people are missing on here. Three weeks ago everything was level and they had a chance to go three clear of us with a game in hand. Blew it at Newcastle and we were brilliant at Arsenal the next day. That was the weekend we secured 4th imo although still got to dig one more result out. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CVByrne Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Like 1.06 are about the odds you can get on Burnley beating Spurs by more than 2 goals next weekend. Or the odds you see on Liverpool winning when 3-0 up at halftime in Anfield to us. It's only not in the bag because we support Villa and have the fear of this possibly happening. We saw 2-0 lead slip to 2-3 in 9 mins at home to Brentford. They can happen. These things in football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Spurs winning would only change the odds in a minor way. Spurs winning by only one goal is a good result. Means a one goal defeat to Liverpool for us means Spurs need to beat City really 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
