If in a complete make believe, totally unrealistic situation of Spurs ever being on the charge to win the league, would you want us to lose to whoever is the nearest team to them?
I just can't get over how small time their fans are that I've seen loads of posts on social from them about how they should have thrown the game.
I?m fairly sure, if the roles were reversed, there would be no shortage of posts from our side along similar lines. Fans innit :shrug:Quote:

More of an extreme situation. I think if the season is done and there's nothing riding on our game other than guaranteeing Spuds don't win the league if we lose, I'd take the loss as well.Quote:

I get you. I wouldn't have wanted to lose on Sunday. And even if I could see the humour in losing, it doesn't mean I would enjoy it.Quote:

Let's put it all in a more realistic scenario...
Dead rubber game for us, maybe it makes the difference between 3rd and 4th. Tottenham will be relegated if the team we're playing against beat us.
Do you still want Arsenal to win that game?
I don't give a **** about the difference between 3rd and 4th. So yes, I'll take the Spurs relegation. It is actually in our interests as we wont have to play them the following season. That is two games I wouldn't mind avoiding.Quote:

As long as they have their eye constantly on what we're doing they won't go anywhere. It does worry me that they'll eventually realise this.Quote:
