I know they don’t but for Spurs to have any chance of beating City they need all the fans behind them. They won’t have that. It will be a strange atmosphere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_AA_786 Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 At this stage of the season almost every team wants to win for various reasons - higher posiion more money, new contracts, titles, Europe, survival etc. So I don't think any of the teams being discussed will do anything other than give it a right go. Even Sheffield United who are both d0g d00 and are managed by a total eejit, will want to perform well as their bonkers owner will otherwise change the manager and sell players again before next season. We can sit and flap over every if and but but for me its pointless. I'm now ignoring the games this weekend and just looking forward to our last home game of the season against Liverpool which should be a good game regardless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In what world would he ever settle for a point? If anything, Arsenal failing to win will make him expect his team to get the job done on Tuesday even more. This is just bed wetting purely for the sake of it. Given that some have more faith in Spurs getting points and that we won’t is just as bizarre. People are inventing scenarios to get mad about. It’s baffling. Edited May 10 by The_Steve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many games have you been to this season? I bet I’ve been to more than you so making out you’re more of a fan than me is utter nonsense. References to 2016 are so boring, probably why we never achieve anything, we benchmark our best season against our worst season despite there not being one player in the currrnt squad that was here 8 years ago. How about benchmarking our current season to 1996 when we won a trophy and still finished 4th? The players have done great for the most part, I’m just very disappointed that they’ve ended the season in such poor form which could undo everything good they’ve worked for. It doesn’t make me a bad fan for expressing that FFS. "Either the players pull themselves together, show some fight and desire and energy" - says all that needs to be said. The players will be hurting after last night. They need support not idiots jumping on their backs and telling them that they are throwing the season away. It doesn't matter how many games you attend - that type of attitude is not what the players need nor what they deserve. Indeed the fewer people that turn up to VP with that attitude the better. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unai has proven time and time again how to bounce back from a defeat. Despite the defeat, I saw more effort than against Brighton for the most part. People are free to disagree, but I’m confident that we can do something with the games remaining. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 I still think we have the points we need, but after last night, I am starting to think what if? Manchester United somehow beat Arsenal on Sunday and Manchester City go to Spurs on Tuesday, just needing to win one of their last two games to be champions. Hopefully we won't need to worry about that potential scenario on or after Monday, I guess in any case, they would just beat Spurs to get it over and done with.

rubberman Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 5 pivotal games. Everything has to go Spurs way, just one has to go ours. Both sides in poor form for whatever reasons. Plenty of permutations, but for me the Burnley game is still the huge one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right just some advice, I know this place is a cesspit at times but don’t start calling other posters idiots. I can bet you very likely wouldn’t have the guts to say it to my face so don’t say it on here, it isn’t cool. I haven’t called you any names. If you want to start name calling do it in a private message and we’ll take it from there. And second piece of advice, don’t tell other fans how they should or shouldn’t react. Again, I didn’t tell you how to react so you can’t tell me how I should feel. We do after all live in a democracy where freedom of speech is still allowed. If you don’t like what I say you can always just ignore me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is just bed wetting purely for the sake of it. Yep he'd want it done before the final day if the opportunity arises. Can rest players v West Ham to save for the cup final. Very odd analogy they'd effectively give up a fixture and just gamble everything on the final day given how they nearly blew it v us two years ago.

VillaChris Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 11 minutes ago, ben1505 said: Draw against City then smash Sheffield Are they actually playing well enough to beat Sheffield by 6 or 7? Newcastle are hence they did it a few weeks back. However Sheffield United also lost lost 3-1 to Liverpool at Anfield and 4-2 at Man. United so I'm not sure why a misfiring Spurs (just 3 goals in last 5 away games) can just go and do it no problem. With the way they're playing Brereton Diaz will get chances on the break against them and his goals ratio since joining in January is pretty good.
