I respect all opinions on here (almost) but I’m struggling with the “win at all costs even if it makes you a laughing stock.”
Will be happy enough if we don’t get humiliated & lose in an entertaining game. But the thought of taking points from Citeh and handing the impetus to Arteta and his merry band of sex offenders going into the last day?
It’s a no from me.
We ain’t ready for champions league.
Chumpions league and Thursday nights will unfortunately have to do next year.
Them winning the title because we took points from the only other team that can halt this abomination?
100% no.
 
Exactly these points!

Tomorrow is potentially the most Spursy game ever, needing to win, but being terrified of the repercussions!

But, as you have both pointed out... Results/points dropped in previous games have put us in this win/lose, lose/win situation...

We only needed one other win (Wolves away springs to mind, seeing as we were winning on 90mins, and STILL lost) and tomorrow would be irrelevant!

We didn't turn up against Arse at home, it would almost be SPITEFUL if we suddenly, miraculously turn up tomorrow and beat City.

0-0. Nailed on!!
If the arse do win the lge us not turning at home to them is when we handed them the lge not what happens tomorrow
 
From a Villa fan :

if Spurs beat City tomorrow, I don't fancy Villa's chances at Palace, Spurs have got Sheffield 'concede goals for fun' United....

Villa fans also know they have ffp issues so they doubt they can afford to strengthen in the summer - indeed they fear they need to sell. So CL isn't anything they look forward to


So we go for it against City.

Are we likely to win - not with our injuries !

But unlike Villa we do know we will strengthen in the summer,

I ignore the south London wanderers - or if I meet them its 'why haven't you gone home yet'

Far easier than taking them seriously. Just like we ignored Chelsea ...... and now they are falling apart
 
You are one of the few highly intelligent people on here.

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

Thanks mum, you've always got my back!

Also, I just want to make note of the tremendous restraint I'm showing in not making this my signature.
 
So, is THIS what needs fi happen now?:

Spurs beat Man City...
Spurs beat Sheffield Utd...
Palace beat Villa...
Man City beat West Ham...
Oh, and Everton beat Woolwich!!

Right you are then...

ACCA sorted right there!
 
Lads forget this mental gymnastics yous are putting yourself through about every possible scenario. City will fucking dick us at a canter tomorrow evening. This Tottenham team have been sleep walking the last 6 months and city peaked at the business end of the season like they always do. City are winning the league and we will be in Europa.
 
Sorry mate, couldn't disagree more.

The Prem is way more important than the Europa. Always have to play your first XI in the Prem.

We don't need to play the first team to get out of the group stages. The first 8 in the league go through and then there's a playoff between the teams from 9th-24. If by some chance we're in that second category we should just save the best players for that one.

And I'm not talking about rotating our full XI Nuno-style. But there's no reason we can't integrate a couple of kids against FC Stalingrad and still pick up a result. Liverpool did the same and easily topped their group.

Maybe in the latter stages of the Europa knockouts do we start playing our first team.
Winning a trophy is more important than qualifying for CL. We certainly are not good enough to win the PLand so it is only the 4th place non trophy that is at stake. Bringing kids into the team has to be done right and playing 2 of them will not work. 1 at a time. Most of the names you quoted will be sent on loan anyway Which is more useful than the odd Europa appearance. It is this thinking that the cups do not matter that we have failed to win a trophy in recent years.
Players such as Dragusin will play more regularly but not just cup matches. Every year we remain trophyless fuels the ridicule from others and we need to put that right.

It's funny.... Cos when we REALLY needed to beat Woolwich a few weeks back, we capitulated under the intense pressure...

Yet when ALL WE HAVE TO DO is LOSE to one of the greatest Man City teams to have ever graced the Premier League... suddenly we're gonna play them off the park and WIN????!

Crazy talk!

No wonder people who don't like football don't get football fans!

We are the only part of human society deprived of genuine, rational logic!!
