Champions League Contention

[darren woolley]

I just hope Man City thrash them tonight.

[Jon Crofts]

Spurs limped past Burnley at the weekend and tonight they're going to beat Manchester 115? Come off it.

Spursy Spurs to beat City and great beat against Sheff Utd...

The Spurs forum that I've been keeping an eye on is pretty much convinced that this is what will happen.

[Risso]

Spurs limped past Burnley at the weekend and tonight they're going to beat Manchester 115? Come off it.

Football doesn't always work like that though. We followed up shit displays against Brentford and Lille by beating Arsenal. I won't relax until it's 10.30 tonight and Man City have put four past them.

It doesn't, but while our performances over the last couple of months could probably be best described as "erratic", theirs would probably be described as "shit".

Last game in which they were completely convincing was probably when they smacked us in early March. There are Spurs fans who describe that and their win against Newcastle as their only two really good performances since they were winning the league back in September / October.

I agree that the universe will probably conspire against us to make them pull out a performace for the ages tonight, but all the signs are that they won't. 

[Monty]

Even a performance for the ages might only be enough for a draw as well. Our absolutely massive efforts yesterday were only good for a point, and that was against a Liverpool side without much going on for them. This Man City team, in full Skynet kill-mode? Any team on earth could play their absolute best and still lose to them. So let's hope.

[Dogtanian]

I think our getting a point and making it so they need the win is bad for them too. Because they have to go for a win now, which can leave them very exposed to hunter/killer units.

[caster troy]

So so close now. I don't want City to win the league, so I'd be happy with a draw BUT I couldn't take the stress of a tight game. I really hope City score first.

[LeeS]

City 1-0 up and Spurs equalise with the last kick of the game should do it.

On second thoughts, even that is too nervy. City to be 3-0 up after 15 mins and then coast home.

[Mellin]

It's been nice Spurs getting battered in the first half of all these big games. More of that please.

My ideal scenerio is spurs go 2 up then fuck it up draw 2-2 which not only doesnt get them CL, but helps arsenal

Why do you hate my cardiac health and emotional wellbeing?

[Villafirst]

Spurs defence is rubbish, they will concede without question at some point. This will be Man City's 5th attempt to actually score a PL goal at the new Tottenham Hotspur stadium let alone beat them! That record will end tonight.

[LeeB]

Fuck Arsenal, I hope they're on the brink with their game finished on Sunday and Citeh score 3 in injury time to win it.

It would be the funniest thing ever if they missed out by a whisker, and Arteta might explode.
