Hopefully one of theirs scores a header for us off a corner, we can't seem to.I liked Pep comments in the presser. he is fired up and want to shove down the 4th title in a row on rivals and media's throat.
hope players can get the win tonight despite the hoodoo Spurs turning into lucky fuckers against us.
But vs Arsenal recently they were 3-0 down first half with Hojbjerg making a fucking clean own goal header from a corner.
same tonight please.
I know what you're saying and agree with most of it, but I wasn't meaning City's Treble specifically. If we remove context about European Cups previously won, etc and just view the achievement in isolation then ANY club that wins four league titles in a row has topped the lot.4 domestic titles in a row wouldn't beat the Treble hadn't we already won it, especially had we failed to win the CL in that period.
It's the combination of both feats that would make it so special.

Seriously though going to be an odd atmosphere. Players will be playing for a champions league spot so they won't be buying into worrying about Arsenal. Crowd atmosphere might be weird though, it's not just handing their enemy the title, it's giving them their first in 20 years. I imagine that would be unbearable.
Imagine the mid-late noughties with United about to break their title drought after 20 years. Anyone saying Spurs fans should want their team to win tonight clearly doesn't get it.Some great banter from Spurs fans on TS this morning going full City fan for tonight.
It's going to be such an odd atmosphere in there.
Arsenal have given them so much shit, it's much like how we'd have felt if we were in the same situation in the mid-late noughties with a chance to derail the rags.
It's a great story for the media to spin.
Ultimately we're the better team and should be winning anyway. I think some Spurs fans would go as far as celebrating a loss at the final whistle, they're that desperate for Arsenal not to win it. They don't give a shit about CL football.
Agree 100% with your number one choice, been a blue since first match in 1949 and tell anyone who asks me "what's the most tension you've felt at a game" it's that one it still gives me the shakes.On a big game nerves scale this one’s up there but doesn’t make the top five
1. United at home 2012
2. Champions league final 2023
3. United semi final 2011
4. Newcastle away 2012
5. champions league final 2021
6. Spurs away 2024
They haven’t been in good form for over 1/2 the season, they’ve taken 37 points from the last 26 games
if we turn up with our big game mentality then we win comfortably, if we start off nervy then it’s a 50/50 game
im going for a professional 2-0 to city
Matter of opinion really. My own best would be the Real Quadruple. Four in a row would be a big milestone in the history of top flight English football though and will be mighty hard for any team to emulate.I know what you're saying and agree with most of it, but I wasn't meaning City's Treble specifically.

Four league titles in a row is greater than winning the league, the FA Cup and Champions League in the same season. It is greater than going a league season unbeaten or getting 100 points in a league season. To sustain it over four years, with having to replace players and backroom staff, is nothing short of miraculous in a league like we have in England. Make no mistake, all of the aforementioned achievements are superb in their own right. But this would be the one to top them all.
Fair point about the Quadruple. I suppose I was thinking more along the lines of what has already been achieved by different English clubs, but to win it all in the same season would take some beating. It might never be done, not just because it's so difficult but because it feels like the League Cup is on borrowed time. With FA Cup replays having gone, I can certainly see the League Cup being next in line for the chop.Matter of opinion really. My own best would be the Real Quadruple.

A spurs win would officially crown Arsenal’s resurgence to the top table after years in the PL wilderness and could kickstart a period of doninationHopefully one of theirs scores a header for us off a corner, we can't seem to.
