Champions League Contention

[Bad English]

We might simply go out and smash it for our two games. Two magnificent triumphs. Emery will be reminding the players that this is it now, and they will all be motivated to close the deal, so it wouldn't come as a complete surprise given the course of the season if finished off strongly despite our showings of tiredness

Keep believing!

Absolutely, keeping the faith and believing in the team's ability to pull off two magnificent victories can be a powerful motivator. With the right mindset and determination, anything is possible!

Aston Villa's performance has me feeling an intense rush of excitement and anticipation as the season's climax approaches.

Lost one and drawn one of their last two away league games, Footy - got a point at West Ham.

We need 1 of 4 results to be the one we want. Spurs need all 4 of them. And they have no control over 2 of them. I doubt there's a person on the planet who'd rather be in their position than in ours.

I actually think it might be better than this given each match has three potential outcomes (win-draw-loss)

Quite right excuse my inaccuracies thank you for correction!

Are Tottenham in any way going to be motivated to beat C115y and thus hand Arsenal the title ? I think not . 0-3 away win and goodnight Vienna . They'll be happy with Arsenal missing and them getting Europa League .

Professional footballers who have a chance at being in football's top competition will not throw in the towel because some local rival, who they personally don't give a shit about, could win the title. They just likely won't have enough to stop Man City.

Indeed.

Their players will want to play CL football even if the fans aren't especially bothered about it.

What the Gooners do or don't do won't matter a jot to them.

The fact that they only won by a single goal today helped us a little as well. If we do lose both our games, say by two goals each, they need a draw v city and beat sheff u by three

I think we’d still be one up, the goal difference is eight.

Don't underestimate the local rivalry thing . Spurs will not want to do Arsenal favours and that will have a bearing on events as they unfold .

Spurs will not alter their performance based on Arsenal's chance of winning the league.

Does he think the fans are playing?

The way Spurs have been defending, it's possible.

[The Edge]

I'm going a bit left field here. It would take a seriously unexpected turn of events for us to not qualify for top 4. If the gods do conspire against us so what? We're in the Europa  league anyway? Whatever happens over the next couple of days won't define our club going into the next 10/20 years. Enjoy it and savour it. It's been a long time since we were even involved in the conversation.

[Matt C]

Try and enjoy the journey, don’t fret on the destination.

Please stop this. This is just common bar room talk. It will have no bearing on how Spurs players perform on Tuesday. Any notion that their players will think like their fans is bollocks.
