It would be a real pleasure to see them miss out on the premier league because of the 6 points we took off them. Arse have the most unbearable fans out there. Man City are just a boring, nothing, oil money club with nothing about them. You barely even notice them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AV82 Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 All we need is a point (or better) against Palace. I'll be watching and hoping Man Shitty put 9 past Spurs but if Spurs turn it around it's still up to us. Frankly, if we can't get a point at Palace we don't deserve Champions League football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duke313 Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Despite what the majority of their fans want, Ange and the Spurs players are going to try and win against City (I'm sure most if not all the Spurs players have CL qualification clauses in their contracts). But if/when City score (the earlier the better), their heads will drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinebro Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Call me a bad fan how much you want but If I had to choose between blues winning the league or us missing out on CL qualification I'll take 5th every day of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayEm Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Draw tonight would be fantastic but I don't think I could cope with the stress that would put me through. Given that it's not actually Villa playing, I'm tempted to do something else for two hours and just check the score at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's always been when Spurs have had dogged pragmatic managers in Conte and Nuno who had Spurs sit back and hit on the counter. If Ange plays his usual game City will not lose and should win be a couple of goals. Edited May 14 by stewiek2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can say he is out of touch... But what other sentiment is he meant to have as a Manager, and what message is he meant to send aside from what he has?

I love that Spurs have lost Kane, had injuries, should finish 5th, still not mathematically out of 4th and load of their fans want to bin new manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WakefieldVillan Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 The betting odds haven't changed much with our point last night, quite surprised by that, but I suppose it's only really going to fluctuate one way or another, after tonight's game. Skybet currently have us at 1/25 on, and Spurs at 10-1, I have £95 on them at 11's, but hopefully that's ZERO by 10pm tonight. I feel more relaxed after last night's performance and result, A) because a draw is no longer enough for Spurs, B ) we actually played well for large parts of the game, C) we showed fight and lot's of character and D) I feel more confident that we can get at least a point from Palace - whereas I didn't before. Ideally I just want City to go two up early doors, then see the game out comfortably 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just had a quick look at the fixtures as beforehand this is something I was concerned about up until a few weeks ago. Spurs 2-0 Man City Feb 2020 - Man City had pretty much lost the league by this point. Liverpool were miles clear (I think) at the top before COVID break Spurs 2-0 Man City Nov 2020 - Result was in the first half of the season, Man City tend to be slow starters to the season Spurs 1-0 Man City Aug 2021 - Same as above Spurs 1-0 Man City Feb 2023 - Harry Kane scores the winner here and he no longer plays for the club. None of these wins happened during the run-in when Man City turn into machines and win the league. Also these were against Mourinho/Conte type football whereas Spurs are just more open under Ange. Regardless of the Arsenal stuff, Man City should win against a side that struggles to keep clean sheets and tries to play attacking football. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Steve Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Vicario has only managed six clean sheets this season. If you exclude our 4-0 defeat, their last clean sheet was against Forest on 15 December. The last time they had back-to-back clean sheets was in October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lochheads twin Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Unholy Alliances! Some very interesting allegiances for tonights game I'll be more than happy with a draw, although that may keep me on the edge of the seat until the end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brommy Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 (edited) 2 hours ago, Don_Simon said: Why would a draw be fantastic? I wonder how likely an 8 goal swing would be and which scores would be the least unlikely to enable that. 3-0 and 0-5? But of course that would only an option if spuds win both their games so perhaps the least unlikely way that could happen might be a 2 and 4 goal wins for spuds and a 2 goal defeat for us. EDIT - I'm wrong again - only way GD comes in to it is if we draw so our GD remains at +20, meaning spuds need a GD of +8 in their last 2 games (perhaps 2-0 & 0-6), to then be ahead of us by goals scored (assuming we don't draw 4-4!). I'm hoping a citeh point or more tonight will remove my current mental fragility! Edited May 14 by brommy Stupidity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarryOnVilla Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 (edited) Spurs fans are an odd bunch. they’ve created a poll on their forum, asking if they want to win tonight’s game. This is the results Edited May 14 by CarryOnVilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
