On the other hand, anything other than a victory would effectively mean they can't win the league, which would be nice.Quote:

This is like the reverse of Monty's post yesterdayQuote:

I would assume most followers and/or supporters of PL football, including THFC, know by now that Chelsea will be champions.
Because more than anyone, Spurs fans know that bragging rights are incredibly vulnerable and can be lost even when you are clearly the superior and more successful side. Consider how much they mocked our attempts to win the Champions League at a time when they couldn't even qualify for the competition.Quote:

And if they are winning in the game??Quote:

If they are winning the game and WHL is noisy and raucous as a) it can be and b) it tends to be on NLD then the cries of Wembley from the Park Lane corner will be secondary.
I would expect they will take that.
I have to agree here . If we don't win, then I just don't care who does - with the possible exception of Liverpool. Even though I no longer live on Gillespie Road I still have plenty of Spud supporting friends and acquaintences and I find then no more or less disagreeable than supporters of any other team - again Liverpool excepted.Quote:

I have a much greater dislike for United and Liverpool, and to a degree supporters thereof, than I do for Spurs.Quote:

I expect there are a lot of Manchester United and Liverpool fans in your neck of the woods (if you excuse the stereotypical generalisation about glory hunters), whereas Monty has stated that he has many Tottenham acquiants.Quote:
