Tottenham vs City - EFL Cup Final - Ref Fucks Up

[Top_Spur]

Very weird feelings going into this match, I of course really want Tottenham to win to finally end this hoodoo of not winning a trophy but at the same time I've been so underwhelmed by us and Mourinho this season I'm not even sure we fully deserve it compared to previous seasons.

None the less I will be cheering the team on from the start in the hope that the footballing gods are looking down on us.

The game was tough enough before City's game last night, let alone them losing. They won't wanna lose 2 cup games in the space of a week.

Finally, let's all pray that Harry Kane is fit for the game.

Thankfully I think we're at a point now where a win wouldn't keep Mourinho in a job, it would just allow us to politely say goodbye and thank him for ending the trophy drought. He could say he accomplished his mission and we can all move on.

Totally agree and I think that’s where I’m at. Win the league cup, which I’m 99.9% we won’t, but say the impossible happens and we do, Mourinho can at least fuck off with his head held high. Want him out the club even if we do win it. He has to go this summer.

Yes, Vincent Price wasn't in any......

Remember the ‘Abominable Dr Phibes’?

Very funny

As much as I want us to win this game, i think it would be a slap in the face to the Poch era. This is the worst looking Spurs team in years so it would be typical of this was the year we bloody won something.

Obviously KDB potentially being out would be a bonus but we lost poorly to them in Feb without him in the team. I just don’t know how we can win this. I think it will take Man City playing poorly and the likes of Kane/Son/Ndombele playing a worldly with some individual moments of greatness. He really should throw in Bale into the starting 11. This match won’t phase him in the slightest and we could use someone with a winning attitude along with Lloris

Yeah! I'm a big horror fan Baz. Old and new. That and the sequel Dr Phibes rises again were good 'uns. Similar to his Theatre of Blood also. His best 2 were probably Masque of the Red Death and Witchfinder General. I also love House on Haunted Hill. Camp but spooky!

Is this the thread where half the people will seem to secretly hope we lose because they're so bitter about the manager and will sew negativity before a very rare Cup final?

Hope some of you give it a rest tbh.

It’s not hoping we will lose, it’s a dead cert we will lose. There isn’t a hope in hell Spurs are beating City in a final, not a chance

That's the spirit.

Remember 2019, when Kane was brought back for the CL final, after yet another ankle injury? History is just about to repeat itself in the League Cup final, hopefully with a different outcome.

I can see us losing after extra time, possibly penalties.

Right, that's more than enough reality for one day. We are actually going to annihilate them, humiliate them, destroy the poor little suckers. Can't see us losing this one.

 

[LEGO Boy]

Winning this does not keep Jose in a job or make one jot of difference to Levy's thinking, of that I'm sure. He's either getting sacked after the final or in the summer, or Levy will stick to his guns and give him another transfer window.

Want us to win this badly to get that fucking trophy monkey off our back.

Yeah but under Jose we are totally dependent on Kane. Plus I don't think we can rely on Son at the moment who, much like his manager, looks a tad depressed match day.
Still though, despite all the jokes there is a chance for us if Pep wants to overthink it.

I thought that when Sunderland played the then invincible Leeds Utd in that cup final
Didn’t quite work out like that thankfully

 

[spursmalc]

I have been saying why is it our defenders fuck up and give stupid goals away but the opposition defenders do not. Well that changed Friday and the Everton defenders gifted us both goals and we still could not win. I just cannot see a scenario where we come out on top in this match.

I'm going to watch this in a pub in Stoke Newington.

I’m going to watch it in Trepiidation

 

[Notabadsquad]

Would it be too much to ask that we play the whole game without making a mistake that gifts a goal or is that plain daft?

And like some others I think this is absolutely a game to start Bale but it's Mourinho so it will be on 89 minutes and with us needing 2 goals.

After losing yesterday City will not feel as invincible and wheels can quickly fall off, whoever you are.

It is for us to reduce from a possible maximum to a double top at best.

I was joking mate. Well aware of why really

Fair enough, my bad!

"In" are we allowed to then?

One of the guys I go with has booked a table outside - pub called Ryan's. We did see if the Coach and Horses was opening, but apparently not until mid May. The Bricklayers is open though, although I don't know if they are screening the game.
