    I'm more of the thoughts that Fulham are flying kites because they're so confident.

    Spuds getting something would be the Spursiest thing ever.

    West Ham giving a decent farewell to Moyes.

    Delusion.

    The Spurs fans will be cheering when Haaland gets his hat trick next week.

    Some of the Spurs players might as well.

    They will want to lose against Man City.

    I actually don't think that's true. You don't get to the top of a sport (add joke here about being at Spurs isn't exactly the top, but you know what I mean ) without being extremely competitive. I don't think they'll just let City win. They'll lose because they're shit, City aren't and despite their bad record at Spurs, in the context of a title run in I can't see them slipping up.
    City are a juggernaut, we're the only team who have even pushed them this year. Liverpool looked like they would but then fell away. If it's not enough and that one slip against Villa is what costs us (and earlier slips) then so be it.

    No they won't - you really don't have a clue do you?

    Professional footballers, who regularly change clubs, give lip service to these rivalries without caring one jot (unless they're that very rare-case of born-and-bred fan of the club they're playing for)

    They only care about playing at the highest level they can, so if there is any chance of a CL place for Spuds still, you can bet anything they will try their very best to win that game because a) they want to play in the CL and b) they don't give a stuff if Arsenal win the title

    So stop embarrassing yourself

    Well I can’t be blamed for causing tension for once

    Anyway I think there seems to be a disconnect between what spurs fans want and what spurs players will do

    Spurs fans think there’s no chance of them finishing 4th anyway so they want City to beat them


    Crocodile Greeky and the players will want to win no question. Though the players are taught about the local rivalry…they aren’t going to give a fuck if they hand us the title. Not how they think about things

    Fortunately Villa are at least keeping it alive although they need to lose this weekend and Spuds will need to win to keep it alive

    C'mon Spuds

    Pretty sure Spurs will win this weekend. But they must know it's basically over when it comes to 4th.

    Because of GD I’d say Villa need two points to guarantee CL football

    I gues you need to remember what happend that year when everyone thought we'd missed out and then we won by I can't remember how many goals and Spuds lost 5-1 at Newcastle

    But yes it's not as close as that between Villa and Spuds

    Well Actshually


    That wasn’t about qualification for the CL, that was just about finishing above that mob. They stayed in the title race longer than us even though they blew a 2 goal lead at the Bridge.


    But we finished 2nd ahead of them because they lost to Southampton and then Newcastle
