Match **** Tottenham Hotspur v Everton 4pm Sunday 24th Of May ****

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

If Everton had a shot at a Euro place, I can't imagine they'd have gone out on the razz.

So it's a great sign that they've already got their towels out.

The refs have been cunts. They will be cunts in this game as well but we’re winning this! They aren’t the reason any of us watch football so bollox to all the attention they’ve been getting off Spurs fans.

The Brighton and Leeds games both should/could have been 3 points… the fans will be amazing again and we will get over the line.

Not sure many will hang around if we lose and/or relegated
Oh you'll be surprised!
Even if we survive I don't think people will have the energy for this

Everyone will just be relieved the season is over and we can stop thinking about Spurs for a while
I think the festering anger from this season (AND lasts) Premier League camPAINS will finally come to a head WHATEVER the result...

This board should be thrown off the skywalk for something amounting to footballing criminal negligence...

They disgust me....
I think this will be the most angry people have been even BEFORE the game kicks off...

No shits given, it's literally now or never.

Bigger than Bilbao last year,, bigger than Madrid & Ajax in 2019, Anderlecht '84, Rotterdam '74, Wembley 1921, 61, 62, 67, 81, 82, 87, 91,... Or ANY FINAL you care to think of...

This is basically the future of our club at stake...they've got a little over 90 minutes to fix 25 years of diminishing care, and mounting neglect!
 

Not sure if this favours us or not, in that Moyes would probably have stayed at West Ham had they offered him a new contract.

I think his team selection on Sunday will offer one or 2 clues.

With no Europe on offer I wonder if he will choose to start one or two of his usual bench sitters?

What we just need to do is focus on the job at hand but it's a dead rubber for Everton. I hope they treat it in a similar vein.

If it were me I would be bigging up the job Moyes has done at Everton and what he did for West Ham, just to make him bristle at West Ham's treatment of him, where many of their fams were jeering at the bloke and calling for his sacking. This would be painful payback.
 
Keys to the Game:
  • Play with an attacking intent. First thought should be to go forwards, dribble forward, pass forward, run off the ball forward.
  • Keep the width, cross the ball low not high, they've got lumbering centre backs.
  • Cross the ball more and shoot more! We just don't do this enough often opting for an extra pass to create the perfect opportunity.
  • Keep the ball. It's going to be hot. Make the ball do the running.
  • Don't let Ndiaye, KDH, McNeil or Garner have time on the ball.
  • Dogs of war mentality. We did it against villa but not in the two games since. Again, it's going to be hot so might have to be a bit more sensible about running around like lunatics.
  • Take responsibility, show some leadership. Not seen it but there's always a time to try. The reaction after the wolves and villa wins showed me the players are giving their effort. We are of course let down by quality.
  • Pressure makes people do stupid shit, I'm sure we will see something dumb happen.
  • Fans should just support, the tension will get to the players quickly. Save the protest for the end.
  • Decisions to be made regarding Udogie starting?
  • RKM won't start, straight swap for Maddison?
  • Palhinha to start or bring in someone with more legs?
The quality isn't there but we can get the result we need. None of the above is groundbreaking news.

Genuinely forget about the Leeds game, it's in our control and we have to focus on that. I'd rather have it in our hands than not, even though that is a curse for us. Honestly turn off the WiFi and phone signal in the stadium, better yet it means the ref can't speak to VAR.
I'm sure Michael Oliver will want to be the centre of attention at some point.

My current line up is like this but may change:
[LINEUP]Kinsky
Porro Danso VDV Spence
Gallagher Bentancur
Tel Maddison Udogie
Richarlison [/LINEUP]
 
I suggest we stop talking about Everton have something to play for or not. This Everton player is injured or not, that player suspended or not.

Just go out there, dominate, and WIN the match. No matter who is out there or what they play for or not. End of......
 
I would be very surprised. Before the game, may well have got a lot of traction.

6pm on a Sunday B Hol weekend with scorching temps nah, add in the possibility we may well have lost and be relegated, not a chance many stay.

I can foresee mass walkouts around 80mins depending on the score.

Thats just one scenario where we lose and Spam win.

TBH I can’t see many hanging about in all the other scenarios where the club survives either. Most people want this season over and to forget it ever happened. The PGMOL have done the owners a huge favour because their bullshit has diluted the anger and blame towards ENIC onto them.
