Think what fucks me off most us we' re back here again having some say, good or bad on them winning the title like Old Trafford in 99 or them winning it at our place in 2004. Its why the cries for patience after another mediocre season are starting to wear a bit thin.

Some equate living the rivalry with being a "true fan". I disagree and even count many Woolwich fans among my friends. They would be my last choice to win the league yes, so I'm part of it too, but I want, and will always want, Spurs to win every game we play. And beating City would be huge for our team. I completely disagree with the idea of some posters on this forum that in a roundabout way, because of fans' rivalries, it would actually be better for our players, and the development of the team, to lose the game. A win vs City is massive
Yeah. Ange's comments would only make sense if he actually had the capability of beating Woolwich himself. He refers to being a part of Celtic vs Rangers but his Celtic team dominated Rangers.
Of course I’m a long way from Ange. In two or three years he’ll be managing a different team and kissing their badge. And quite right too. He’s a professional coach.
But seriously, I can’t even believe this is a conversation. On what planet can any Spurs fan want to us be the team that delivers the title to the Scum?
And all for some dogshit Corinthian ideal of how sport is supposed to be played??
Bonkers.
I agree with that but that sits with Levy and ENIC more than Ange a manager who is known for doing far better on his 2/3 rd season than 1st.
We might actually have a proper football structure in place with Lange, Munn and Paratici and seemingly backing an actual style of football for the longer period which we have never done before from youth team upwards. I appreciate that does seem a bit too little too late but on the flip side it’s better late than never.
100% on Levy and ENIC. Not sure Ange is that guy but it isnt on him, its on the people that have overseen 23 years that we're here again, happy to lose to stop them.
I wonder what kind of bonus is payable to the manager, players and staff for CL qualification? I’m assuming it’s hefty. And I’m assuming the players will do all they can to get it.
Different story if Villa beat the scouse though.
Different story if Villa beat the scouse though.
Made even worse by the fact that just 2 seasons ago we finished above them, had Champions League football at their expense, and had a real opportunity to push on and exert some dominance.
I wouldn’t worry too much.
We’re going to get fucking pumped here, they are miles better than us. It won’t matter who’s cheering for who.
If you don’t think the Scum winning the league will have any negative impact on our own trajectory, including who we might be looking to sign in the summer (for example, Isak or Toney) then fine. But to suggest some of us want to thwart their success just out of bitterness is plain wrong; I don’t want us to give our direct rivals a massive boost and widen the gap further between the two teams. Losing to City is good for Spurs over the longer term.
You go find a pub with Kai Havertz and be a “true” Spurs fan.
It means handing the PL title to woolwich, how fcukin massive is that?! Think about it.
You never know what can happen in football
We could beat City, all the little gooner twats will record their videos and post their shit only to drop points to Everton and then we have ammunition for life.
We could celebrate losing to City and they blow it at West Ham making us the biggest cunts on the planet.
Incredible.
But looking half decent in the ropey league isn't the same as playing in the PL.
Let's see where they are in a few years.
Also, Liverpool didn't throw games to land themselves in the ropey league to keep on playing these players.
Every single high level player comes from an academy, doofus.

But that didn't damage Woolwich in any way shape or form. They had finished in the top 4 and were in the CL.
