“ Would you want us to lose to stop Swansea? “

Spurs v Man City tonight.

If Spurs win, they can still qualify for the Champions League but it means they would probably hand the title to Arsenal - their biggest rivals.

In a hypothetical scenario, if we were in that position what would you want to happen?

Personally I could never ever wish us to lose, even in this hypothetical scenario.

I'd want us to win. Absolutely beyond childish to want your own team to lose a match in those circumstances.

I agree.

Strange atmosphere in the Spurs stadium tonight though.

If we had nothing else to play for then yes. If we still had something to play for, no.

No know need to keep obsessing about f.ck ng swansea
concentrate on our fortunes or misfortunes more lately
at the end of the day they have done more seasons in the prem than us
it should be down to us to spend more time there but we are behind in that department end of so move on
i would rather be above our english neighbours the wurzels
But really could' nt give a scooby about them down the road we have done f.ck all for years
but more than a lot of clubs in the championship

lets concentrate on getting a decent owner manager football team playing great football again that would suite me more than anything.

Fair play Monty, that’s spot on.

Disagree, we need to obsess more about beating them or they’ll always have one up on us in the derbies. It’s not another game, it’s the one that matters for a lot of our fans. Need to stop being so pretentious about it and want to destroy them

Absolutely spot on mate. We've taken our rivalry with arrogance over the last 10 years. They treat it exactly how it should be treated and I wish we did the same and until we do the results won't change.

Derby day is a different thing all together obviously.
But constantly going on about them down the road thats my point forget them but hammer the f.ck out of them on the derby
but thats down to the msnager players club not the fans

Bristol City maybe.. Swansea not too bothered.

Pathetic from Spurs fans.
Big Ange is right to be cross.

Deeply embarrasing that the self-styled 'Yids' joined the Man Citeh contingent in a chorus of "Are you watching Arsenal...?" tonight...

PATHETIC EVER GOING AGAINST YOUR OWN TEAM! :oops:

Win win situation.

Although I would say last night the Spurs fans wanted a win, they would have taken the draw, I did not see many of them crying at the final whistle.

I listened to alot of TalkSport yesterday, and I'd say a good 80-90% of Spurs fans wanted them to lose yesterday!

One fella even sang blue moon down the phone!

It's a tricky one. And a reason why I absolutely love football as it can cause common sense and logic to go out of the window!

I wouldn't want to see Swansea win anything; that's how I'm built. I respect others who don't see it as fierce, but if they played Pluto away in the universal cup, I'd support Pluto and get joy in them losing.

I'm on the fence. The competitor in me want us to win every game, fight for every point. The spiteful rival in me would want to see our biggest rival (Bristol, come on lads!!) not win a major trophy.

Great question! :clap:

I will never understand anybody who would want us to lose under any circumstances. I used to hate it if we lost a pre-season friendly let alone something as meaningful as a league or cup game.

Whilst it's nice to win derby games, our league position has far more relevance to our progress as a football club than the one-upmanship gained by derby day victories. There are no positives to be gained by being obsessed with our local rivals.

Spot on; look what it has done to them. Two less 'meaningful' games in their season than Glagow Rangers and Celtic, who have 4... :laughing6: :ayatollah:

You do not turn down a place in champions league just to stop rival winning league? at end day you concentrate on what's best for your team not someone elses team..

Re: “ Would you want us to lose to stop Swansea? “

Wed May 15, 2024 8:23 pm

Spurs had a very outside chance of getting in the champions league, whether they beat Citeh or not. So on that basis, i can understand why Spurs Fans wanted their side to lose a one off match.

Re: “ Would you want us to lose to stop Swansea? “

Thu May 16, 2024 2:50 pm

I'd love us to lose the last game of the season to send Swansea down, not even the slightest element of doubt, Cardiff fans would celebrate every goal, it would be fantastic. :laughing6: :laughing6: :ayatollah:

So you care about the misfortune of another club more than than the good fortune of your own club. And you're a fan you say ?

If there’s nothing on the game for us what’s the problem?

I still remember how excited I was when Swansea almost went out of the football league years ago. Drinking in the Culver pub, wishing them down. Sadly it didn’t come off but one game loss for misery and pain for our rivals, yes please

Re: “ Would you want us to lose to stop Swansea? “

Thu May 16, 2024 5:16 pm

Nah, I still don't get it. Even allowing for the local rivalry, Wales would be a poorer place if Swansea went out of the league, as it was when Newport and Wrexham lost their league status.

I just don't have that sheer hatred inside me that you and others must have towards our friends from the west.

Since I first started supporting the team back in the 60's, a defeat always rankled, no matter who the opposition or the tournament and that will never change.
