Means a one goal defeat to Liverpool for us means Spurs need to beat City really I hope Spurs beat Burnley 7-0 and you declare the season over again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Burnley game though is not a give me for Spurs. Burnley are in last chance saloon as fail to win and they are down. Their form pre Newcastle at the weekend was also very good. In the previous 8 games they had lost just once which included taking points off West Ham away, Chelsea away and Man Utd away. They are in better form than Spurs.

StewieGriffin Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Man City are going to need to beat Spurs regardless. If City win on Saturday they go top, and only Arsenal losing to Man Utd would keep City top. Beating Spurs will put them top and put it in their own hands for the final day. If Arsenal lost then City would win the league by beating Spurs (it'd put them 4 ahead with 1 game left). City will want/need to win against Spurs. The way they've been shipping goals lately (13 in 4 games now) you've got to fancy a bang in-form City to score a couple.

useless Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 I had a look on Tottenham forum and their equivalent of this thread, and none of them are even talking about finishing fourth, it's all about what they have to do to avoid being caught by Newcastle, Manchster United or Chelsea. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's because it's 95% chance we end 4th. Bit the 5% is what we fear despite it being highly unlikely. What will probably happen is we'll lose to Liverpool, Spurs beat Burnley and they lose to City and it's over. However, it'll be stressful for us watching Spurs City 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man Utd and Chelsea x2 we were seen as favourites whilst Spurs was 50/50. Could probably add Olympiakos to that list too. Not handled those games well.

Whilst people can make a case for Burnley getting something because of the need to stay up, I’m sure most people including myself see Spurs winning that game so there shouldn’t really be any panic. I will only start panicking if Spurs get something against Man City but even then we can get it sorted ourselves the night before, but this is Villa. Villa never do it the easy way.

tomav84 Posted May 6 VT Supporter Share Posted May 6 1 hour ago, CVByrne said: 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. this one concerns me. plenty of teams in this situation have sent teams down on the final day. having zero pressure on their result gives their plays total freedom and/or gives them the opportunity to experiment with new tactical ideas meaning that the hours of meetings unai has with the players in advance of the game could be irrelevant but if we need a result there then so be it. chances are all that we'll need is a draw anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkLillis Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Obviously I would have liked us to wrap it up yesterday with a win but it wasn’t the case. I cheer myself up by think about the incredible 3 points we picked up at the Emirates a couple of weeks ago.

Stevo985 Posted May 6 VT Supporter Share Posted May 6 The only point we'd need to "panic" is if Spurs beat Burnley AND we lose to Liverpool AND Spurs follow it up with a win against Man City. And EVEN IF that happened, which it probably won't, we'd still secure Top 4 with a win against Crystal Palace. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
