You can make the case either way. But bearing in mind they've been getting loads of stick all season and generally responded by continuing to play shit, I reckon another defeat that increases the pressure is probably better than a trophy win that gives the whole club a new lease of life.

You can argue it both ways in terms of their motivation or lack of. It doesn't alter the fact they're due a right shoeing and we're due to dish one out on the road.

1-4 and Fernandes in tears at the end. One of the other results to fall our way and job done.

Or they win celebrate like mad and are in a right state when they play us.

A Yanited win for me, partly for this reason. It would different if they were playing Fulham or Brentford but it's Spurs, so f*ck them.

No. We need that stadium flatter than ever and a toxic atmosphere. Players getting into arguments with fans etc .

You definitely can.

Given Coopers' is in favour of "it's better if Man Utd have lost" though, with his track record I feel even more confident with the opposite position.

This season more than any other - I cant help but look at those avoidable dropped points - Ipswich x 2, Forest away, Man City away.

Our excellent recent form has been amazing - but we really shoudlnt have given ourselves so much to do.

It pains me to say it but the only result I want is a Spurs win hopefully on penalties after a grueling half hour of extra time. That way Old Toilet will be toxic on Sunday and the players will be gutted after losing . I wouldn't normally wish injury on a player but in Brunos case I'll make an exception.
Nothing life threatening I'm not a psycho just a hammy will do.

I just can't. Even if it means agreeing with Tim. Those utter bastards cannot have another shit season and still win a trophy. Just, no. Plus I still think we are better getting them when they're under pressure and trying to get the manager sacked than in celebratory mood. Maybe if they were in the World Club Cash Grab and likely to be resting players, but they're not.

Spurs win for me, no question about it. We’ll beat United whichever way their final goes.

Do you really think Amorim will go at the end of the season if they lose the final, I can’t see it myself.

Sure, why not? Man United 14th-17th in the league? He'd have to go if they don't win a trophy. That's pathetic.

Hope I'm wrong and they lose both their remaining games and keep him, but can't see them being so stupid.

I think he can not wait to get out of there.
The last thing we want is those twats thinking they are a serious football team again and the last season an aberration. A defeat to spurs preferably after a gruelling 120 minutes please.

The idea of Spuds winning a trophy… it’s abhorrent.

Sure. Still better than the alternative.
