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.

I was that nervous at that game that I couldn’t actually focus my eyes properly and had blurred vision all game !

Hopefully one of theirs scores a header for us off a corner, we can't seem to.

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.

I remember in '92 when we played Leeds at Maine Rd. It was between them and the Rags for the title. The rags hadn't won it since the 60s. I couldn't bring myself to celebrate any of our goals as I was miserable as fuck thinking it would give the rags the title. Needn't have worried. We battered Leeds and they still went on to win the title.

Only time I have ever felt like that watching City. You're right, unless you have lived through it you don't really know how you will react.

Here's hoping we leather the fuckers tonight. Still haven't forgiven them for the cup defeat in'81!

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.

Last year of the old First Division,Leeds and Utd going for the championship.
Leeds came to Maine Rd and there was a feeling that beating them would let Utd in.
City scored four,won and Leeds won the title.

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.

We don’t have to imagine. Three times we played end of season games against teams going for the title against United.

Blackburn away, where we won. That was different though because we were still smack bang in the middle of a relegation battle and had our own shit to worry about.

Villa away. We got beat in the end after I think Niall Quinn put us in front. It kicked off City V City after one of the Villa goals, with some City fans cheering the goal and others taking exception.

And Leeds at home, when we battered them 4-0 and they beat United to the title anyway. But loads of blues were saying they hope we get beat before the game.

yes remember well and i went to that game not being arsed about who won as we had nothing to play for,,not sure how many games remaining after that fixture there was, its pretty much set in stone if spurs win tonight then its arsenals
 
with the chucking the game talk, the feelings of the spurs fans and the players they have out and our quality of football i see nothing but a win for city
 
Remember it wasn't that long ago that people were speculationg whether we would let Arsenal beat us at home so they win the title instead of Liverpool as we'd be out of it.
 
Remember Arsenal smashed us at Maine road and I thought. Well least United won’t win the league now. United did go on to win it. Grim that

That was the year Baconface blamed Rod Stewart on them losing the title, as he'd played a gig at the Swamp and ruined their pitch apparently. He had absolutely no shame with his pathetic excuses as we all know.
 
I have absolutely no doubt the spuds team will play to win no matter what the fans want, its down to the 2 teams on the pitch, may the best team win.
 
Let's face it, teams do not roll over to stop rivals winning the title. Even though they lost no one could accuse the rags of living down on Sunday. I and others have sighted us beating Leeds in 92 and Blackburn a few years later. The biggest example was Blackburn going to Anfield on the last say of the season with Dalglish as manager, everyone said Liverpool would roll over and give Dalglish the title. Liverpool won and Blackburn took the title as the rags drew at West Ham. Liverpool fans celebrated like they had won the title but had supported their team for 90 mins. If we win it will be due to our own efforts can't expect any help from Spurs though their fans would be happy to deny Arsenal the title.
 
Why wonder about Spurs, West Ham, or whatever team in the PL. They all wanna beat us, beat the champions, beat the treble winners.

We win twice and we win the league. 180 plus minutes to do it.

I 100 percent wanted Leeds United to batter us that day. I was Leeds all day

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 donination

That isn’t in the Spurs’ players best interest for the coming seasons, even if as you say they are not emotionally attached as the fans. Like you said, this isn’t just another title for Arsenal, so the whole club should this morning agree to throw the game.

This post definitely. They won’t do well in the champs league anyway so the fans don’t give a stiff. Massive poznan from all spurs tonight but we can’t let this be a distraction no way
 
i dont know how many spurs players are home grown and support the club 'if any', a reverse situation is its us playing and if we win the game the title goes to united, its the 85th minute and we have a penalty and Foden has been told to take it. is he really going to score or make it a very unlucky miss, i think the later

This. Spurs players will try to win the game, especially with CL football in sight. Having said that, we should have too much for them.
 
Can't wait for this game to be over just to kill off all the endless chitter chatter about arsenal fans supporting spurs, spurs supporting city, will the players care, blah blah blah.
