Chelsea (depending on their result) and confirm they finish above us.

Also, ironically, the fact that spurs have a shot at the title has had the unintended consequence of rendering their finishing above us a little inconsequential.
If they finish above us but don't win the league, the achievement will feel like a damp squib for them.
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.
When we're bellowing 'Wem-ber-ley' at them on Sunday and possibly end their title hopes by taking points off them, it will not feel to them like the page has turned on a glorious new era of north London domination.
And if they are winning in the game??
As you well know football is very much played in the present and the travails of past games can very often be overlooked, look at us as a perfect example, from media perceived chaos to a bright new future in only a matter of 2 weeks or so.
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.
I'd be happy for this to be a repeat of 1995 with them playing the part of Blackburn and us being Everton.

Wierdly, I left the ground initially experiencing the emotion of defeat, rather than victory, as news of Spurs' late goal struck. Deep down it must be more important for me that Spurs don't win the league than for Arsenal to have a chance to win the 4th place trophy.
A pint of Abbots in the Coronet sorted that out though. :-)
