Super Posted May 14 Report Share Posted May 14 Pretty much a title decider tonight. Spurs fans seem to be happy to lose tonight and not hand the title to Arsenal. Sure we would be the same wouldn't we if it was our main rivals? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reddogkev Posted May 14 Report Share Posted May 14 It must be bloody bizarre to have a team from your city competitive in the same league. Will we ever find out what that feels like? Well, I guess BMF might get there one day! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure we would be the same wouldn't we if it was our main rivals? If it was binary, then I kind of get that. However, if Spurs win tonight then a Champions League place is still possible - they’re away at Sheffield United last day and Villa are at the last place you’d want to go currently in Palace. Two wins for Spurs and a Villa loss sees them 4th. I know you don’t win trophies for being in the CL but it would attract bigger players and more money and allow them to make more of a challenge for the top spot. So, your question isn’t really “Would you take a loss to stop your rivals winning the title”, it’s “Would you sacrifice your own ambitions to stop your rivals winning the title” Very different questions - and for me, if I was a Spurs fan, I’d want to win 18 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IAmNick Posted May 14 Report Share Posted May 14 Spurs fans were coping a month or so ago that they were relevant by saying they were the real title deciders, because they had all the top teams to play. They couldb decide who wins... They then went ahead and lost to them all, hahaha. Classic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin phantom Posted May 14 Admin Report Share Posted May 14 As a complete neutral it would be better for Spurs to get a miracle and get a win, so that the top two goes down to the last day, and also 4th place could go down to the last day too Otherwise all pretty dull final day ahead 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure we would be the same wouldn't we if it was our main rivals? Not if we had a sniff of Champion's League football no. Such a defeatist attitude. I wouldn't give a shit what it does for our rivals if it's the best outcome for our club. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weepywall Posted May 14 Report Share Posted May 14 Arsenal fans were letting off fireworks at 2am this morning outside Man City's hotel...problem is City were still in Manchester and not due at the hotel until this morning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Journalist Posted May 14 Report Share Posted May 14 Ideal result tonight is a draw, not a Spurs win. The final day then becomes a shootout for who can score more in their respective fixtures. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A draw tonight would make it very interesting Sunday as Arsenal then have the advantage on GD. Personally I'd find it quite amusing in that scenario if Arsenal then lost out on GD in the end, simply because I think their gameplan on Sunday against United was boring, "safe" and a waste of a great opportunity to really hammer them. Just now, Super said: +3 Which City are more than capable of turning around - So are Arsenal tbf, but Everton are one of the best defences in the league, West Ham certainly not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weirdly Everton (15th who Arsenal play) have conceded the least goals outside of the top 3, while West Ham (9th who Man C play) have conceded the most outside of the bottom 3.

It is a tough game the way Palace have been playing recently but I’d still back them to pick up at least a draw if necessary, will be irrelevant after tonight anyway !!!

It would be quite fun to see City go out and actually try to smash a team - they usually play with such control it always feels like they’ve got gears to spare, let’s see them go for it!

Chairman Mao Posted May 14 Report Share Posted May 14 (edited) Spurs are such an odd club. Massive fan base, massive revenues, great stadium. Yet they settle for always being second best. Their current squad is a great example of that. On their day sure they can beat anyone. But they aren't ever challenging for silverware. Can't help but feel like the Potch years and the Leicester season in particular was a missed opportunity. I really think that if they play their cards right they could be title contenders medium term but they always full short.
