Arguably the most important game in our season, being played out between Manchester City and what can be best described as Reticent Surrogates.
I was hopeful that Brighton, Forest, Wolves or Fulham could get something. But hope and definitely not expectation. Not to say that there is expectation tonight, but I think it’s possible that Spurs can get something even if I’m not overly convinced they will.
Even before the Villa defeat, it seemed likely that this game would prove crucial.
I will say that after the Villa defeat, it’s to our immense credit that we have taken things this far
If City win, they are to all intents and purposes champions elect
If Spurs win, it could be argued that this is what we will be
If it’s a draw, we become favourites but it’s still up for grabs giving Everton will provide more of a dogged opposition than West Ham
I’ve spoken to a couple of Spurs supporting friends. One said that they think Spurs aren’t ready for the champions league, but that the worst result for them would be a draw.
