With all the noise coming from Spurs fans about wanting their own team to lose tonight….. would you want Palace to lose if it meant Brighton not winning something?

I'd be ok with it, if the output was Brighton not winning the league.

Conversely and perversely this year I have secretly wished that team well against fellow relegation stragglers when hopes were very low. There, said it, good to get that off my chest.

The ridiculousness of the Spurs situation is that for their club it's potentially the difference between CL qualification of Europa League. We could very well beat Villa at the weekend and Spurs could get top four. I'd lose a meaningless game if it stopped Brighton winning something but not if there was something significant on the line.

Would be my answer. Personally, for the game tonight, I'd quite like a draw. Keeps the 'Title Race' interesting for the last day but would equally secure Villa a CL spot so they'll hopefully be on the proverbial beach.
Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!! |

Spurs may be Spursy tonight. A tie now does them no good, but means Arsenal could win the league. A win tonight is great, but they could go Spursy again, and lose to Sheffield United at the weekend. To your original question, no. I want my team to go out every week with a winning mentality. Otherwise why even watch the match. Edited by Daddyorc (14 May 2024 2.42pm)

Tottenham are perfectly capable of losing matches at the moment regardless of what their fans may or may not wish for. My answer to the question is "no". To do so would breach my belief in sporting integrity.
