Absolutely; we should go into the game expecting nothing else from the WHAM - LUFC fixture.

It’s shit or bust .

Unfortunately that squad of ours are a bunch of gigantic pussies who get scared shitless soon as the light gets slightly dimmed. They've proven time & time again they cannot cope with a pressurised, antagonistic environment. They will crumble and it won't even be pathetic cause we're so used to it.

To be honest, Nuno staying up at our expense is some kinda poetic justice after the way he was treated here.
 
The best thing that can happen in the spam game -- apart from their arses dropping right out -- is spam doing one of the Leeds players and it pissing off the whole team and they kick into proper gear.

Will definitely need things to go our way, one way or another, on sunday.

Bookies ain't got it right.

It's more 50/50, taking our brittle mentality into account and how we shit ourselves in our own fucking ground.

It's more than that.

Daniel Levy's main success, as Spurs chairman, was through exploiting the vulnerable finacial status, of two clubs in particular, when he plundered Paul Robinson, Aaron Lennon, Robbie Keane, Michael Carrick, Jermaine Defoe and Freddie Kanoute from clubs with serious problems.

Who were those two clubs?

Who is the manager of the team Spurs face on Sunday and whose arse will he save if he manages to get a win at the TH Stadium?

Levy paid himself 5.7 million, for building this team, a year ago.

It's the Spurs supporters who are now facing the Hollywood ending Woolwich have always dreamed about and Spammers will sing about for decades.

Levy's legacy to Spurs.

A stadium that is a game changer.

Yeah, I’m sure Taty Castellanos and Facundo Buonanotte are going to give a fuck about the Freddie Kanoute and Aaron Lennon transfers.

They had to take a test before signing

Castellanos, who only signed in January, has supposedly already told his agent to look for an alternative club should Spam be relegated.
The idea that a player with no roots in England and who has been in London for four months would care about a nearly twenty five year old transfer grudge is a tale told by idiots.

Leeds will spread them for West Ham faster & wider than Bonnie Blue for student cock.

It's on us to man the fuck up & draw/beat the Toffees despite Moyes' plan.

I agree. In what has already been a season of shame, survival has been in our own hands for a while, and this is "last chance saloon". If we lose and somehow stay up, it will be totally down others, which is also shameful, to think that our own players couldn't dig themselves out of the mess they partially created. As for Romero, I hope I never see him again.

I still can't believe we are in this position, it just doesn't seem real. All the money we make, the European appearances income, TV money, renting the stadium out all the time, and we couldn't find a couple of players in January to supplement out injured squad?

The owners are arrogant, probably thinking "too big to go down". If we pull off some kind of escape, and effectively save millions, the owners had better up their game in the summer transfer window.

Spam are beating Leeds, it ain't even worth discussing other scenarios. Leeds - like many other clubs - hate us. But mainly, they'd rather face the pikeys again next season than us...they know if they're in another relegation fight, it'll be easier to finish ahead of Spam than us. So they gonna spread them wide on Sunday.

Yes, I agree, they win that game no matter what. We've lost just over half our home league games, so there's probably, with a bit of fight, a 50/50 chance of us not losing. How the hell is the toss of a coin effectively the different between us being in the Premier League or the Championship.

Take a look in the mirror, board, because you have got a lot of work to do in the summer, no matter what happens.
 
I don't normally, but needs must... Popped over to KUMB for a quick browse...
Honestly, if you dial down the Cockney accents and ignore the stench of jellied eels and the clatter of Pearly buttoned waistcoats,, they sound like us on here...

All doom and gloom, all blaming the board, all think VAR is against THEM not us...

It's weird when you take your Spurs goggles off...
They are in a much worse state than us...
... the key is that its out of their hands.
It's killing them
....
We need to hang onto that!

We DO have the advantage, even if it doesn't feel like it sometimes!
 
Gemini summary of Moyes presser:

In his pre-match press conference for the final game of the season against Tottenham Hotspur, Everton manager David Moyes addressed several key points regarding squad selection, his personal motivations, and his connections to West Ham.

Summary of Key Points
England Squad Omission: Moyes expressed disappointment for James Garner missing out on the England World Cup squad, attributing it to the team's dip in form over the last six weeks [12:15].

Season Reflection: He described the season as "drama-free" and successful in terms of staying away from relegation [12:56], but admitted to feeling a "cloud" over him because the team hasn't finished the final stretch strongly enough to secure a European spot [13:21].

Squad Development: He highlighted the progression of the club, noting they have more points than last season, but lamented missed chances and poor late-game decisions in recent matches [19:18].

Summer Plans: Moyes emphasized the need for a "big summer" of recruitment to build on this year's progress, noting that finances will dictate their ability to navigate the market [20:31].

Indications of Team Strength
Will he play a weakened team?
Moyes explicitly dismissed the idea of playing a "weakened" side or a "team of kids" just to give them an opportunity.
Direct Quote: "I'm not turning up with with a team of kids and trialing all the players... we're certainly going to Tottenham focused to try and get a result" [18:48].

Motivation: He noted that a higher league finish is worth "a few more million pounds," which is vital for the club's summer budget [15:53].

Injury Updates: Idrissa Gueye is a 50/50 chance to be involved [17:11], while long-term absentees like Jack Grealish (on loan) and Jared Branthwaite remain out as they continue rehab [17:34].

Indications of Helping West Ham
Will he help his ex-club?
Moyes acknowledged the narrative surrounding West Ham’s survival and his history there, but remained professionally focused on Everton's goals.

Stance on West Ham: He admitted, "I’d love to keep West Ham in the league if I can do so," but immediately followed up by stating that it is "more important" that he secures a top-half finish for Everton [15:48].

Focus: His primary driver for winning appears to be the financial reward for Everton’s final league position rather than a sentimental favor for his former club [15:53].
--------------------------------

The stance on spammers worries me. There was no need for the BUT, because by securing a good finish for Everton it means he's helping spammers... 🤦🏻‍♂️
