He was never going to say ‘yeah we’re just gonna let them win’

[@slyarsenal]

Even as a gooner, I don't think he genuinely wants to just roll over to City. Top 4 ensures significantly more money for Spurs to invest in improving their team. If Arsenal were in the same position I would hope our team plays for the win because CL football attracts big names. You can lose a few battles, but the war is the bigger picture

[@Gt35293]

Barely any of Spurs' players and playing staff are born and bred spurs fans anyway, so they wouldn't be as invested in losing on purpose

If they win both matches, they still have a chance to get Champions League football. Villa, who are 4 points ahead, face Liverpool and Crystal Palace. Liverpool has played well this season and Crystal Palace has had an excellent run of form. I don't think there's a chance of him throwing the match unless Liverpool lose to Villa.

Twice we finished above 90 points e.g 97 points in that incredible 2018/19 season but we twice finished 1 point behind ManCity.

U r jumping the gun mate speaking as lifelong Spurs fan. First we need to win a trophy. Step 1: Get rid of Levy. He has been the main impediment to success. He's a business man not interested in wimning trophies. Atep 2: Get a better class of manager than Postacoglu or Nuno & give them 3 seasons. Mourinho was on the brink of winning the league cup but Levy sacked him days b4 the final because he wanted to didn't want Mourinho to have the last laugh. So had they kept Mourinho or Conte, 100% spurs would have won something. What Conte said in his outburst about the club was 100% correct. Its just his latin emotions got the better of him. Love them or loathe them, both are fantastic managers & winners. Step 2: Buy better players. Majority of current players are at best average. So sell those useless players (if anyone even wants them) & buy quality players who have wimning mentality not yherebto collect their pay checks. For that, the scrooge Levy needs to spend money not get players we have to google to find who they are or get some youngsters who end up never playing. Simple as!

It will be Tottenham 0-1 ManCity. Jack Grealish with the goal. But some part of me feels Tottenham are going to be thrashed Tottenham 2-6 ManCity. Guardiola said "we are coming to play our final in London on Tuesday. " My friend ManCity will not mess around. Even if it was Arsenal in ManCity's position, would they really fail to beat out of form Tottenham? They beat Spurs, Chelsea beat Spurs, Liverpool were thrashing Spurs but for some relaxation to let Spurs appear to make a comeback. Why won't ManCity beat them? People saying Spurs has always given ManCity a hard time. True! But this season I hope you remember ManCity knocked out Tottenham away 1-0 in the FA Cup. So they've already won there this season and they will win again. It may not be pretty but ManCity have firepower allover the pitch Foden, Silva, Haaland, Debruyne, Rodri, heck even Gvardiol is banging in the goals. City will win the League.
