I was thinking about this overnight and tomorrow is one of those rare win-win games for us. Win and of course I’m happy because I always want Spurs to win! Lose and the title goes to Manchester…silver linings and all.

Bench:
Austin, Emerson, Skipp, Sarr, Lo Celso, Gil, Moore, Kulusevski, Donley
I’ll bet my life Scarlett does not start against City if Sonny,Johnson and Deki are fit.
 
Firstly I want us to lose tomorrow , but maybe not get smashed . Go 2 nil down early so I can relax and just enjoy hopefully nothing worse than a 2 or 3 nil loss.

However if Villa lose although it changes nothing for me , I would not slag off a Spurs fan who did change their mind and want a win. .

Life isn’t black and white always , or at least not the the same for everyone . If Villa win there really is no grey area though it has to be a Spurs lose scenario . I would hate to see our fans fighting in the ground over wanting a win or a loss . I remember the Goons fighting over Wenger in/out .

Those wanting a Spurs win that is your right I suppose, but do you really think Woolwich , Chelsea or West Ham fans would go for a win if it gave us the title . More chance of me winning a George Clooney lookalike competition.

You are one of the few highly intelligent people on here.

Welcome to the club - it's small and very exclusive.

Oh ffs not one of your predictions, now the fucking opposite will happen.

I’m always more concerned about Fattynomates Fattynomates feelings.

If he was due to go on the Titanic maiden voyage sure he would have said “I have a feeling we are going to have the best trip ever”.

I’d have sold my ticket there and then.
 
Who in their right mind would make the effort to go to the match on Tuesday and be wanting their team to lose?
Have to agree.
Didn't go up to Old Trafford in '99 for that reason.
We was all in the Whitehall Tavern/Cockerel Bar, well busy in there for the game.
Two young idiots cheering when Les scored, they got abuse.
Place erupted when United got their second, then scenes when the final whistle went.
Later outside, we were taking the piss out of gooners coming back on the 259/279 buses.
 
I’m hoping it’s just for show but Ange is developing the habit of saying the dumbest shit.

Not everything has to come back to one of his David Brent mantras.

Just smile and say ‘we have a job to do’. Leave it at that.

He has to say that he is a football professional, he is not a fan of the club. His job is to get the best results even if it hurts us in other ways. Additionally like corners where we now have changed tactics despite Ange saying it’s not important a lot of what get said in public isn’t their real views but the views expected of a professional or someone protecting the players.
 
Tbf the team can't go out to lose and Ange can't come out and say he wants us to lose

It will undermine everything he's trying to build (or not build depending on your viewpoint)

The manager and the players have to go out there to win

Doesn't mean the fans should also want that

He thinks it’s all a big joke when he’s asked the question. Just seen the video and he makes light of it all. I suspect he full well knows what the fans want but it’s also his job to try and win games. Nothing wrong with what he said but when it’s cut up on Twitter you’ll get the rabid mob who forget that and context obviously.

Yeah, I can see the logic in wanting City to beat us tomorrow but I can't see the logic in actually attending the game in that case. I mean are our supporters in attendance going to cheer and applaud when City score?
