[Football] Pay Back

[Official Old Man]

Remember 1978?
Saints v Tottenham.
If Villa win their last game poor FA favorites Spurs end the season with nothing. Laugh, I'll be wetting my pants.

 

[Wozza]

There are many Spurs fans - and perhaps many at the club - who don't care about ECL.

 

[WhingForPresident]

We beat/draw with Villa, Spurs draw with Leeds (sending them down) & Brentford beat City to sneak into Conference League, that's the dream.

 

[B-right-on]

Spurs have played 6 games since they cheated us.

Drawn 1 and lost 5.

Fair enough - it's not like there'd be any space in their trophy cabinet.

I'd happily have us throw the game at Villa to keep Spurs out of Europe next season...

 

[Motogull]

The best relevant outcome:

1. We win at Villa.
2. Leeds beat Spurs, but still go down.
3. Brentwood win.

I’d rather beat Villa to keep Villa out of Europe.

 

[BNthree]

While waiting for the players pitch walk yesterday the general consensus among those that sit around me was that we’d all like Spurs to miss out on a European spot. Various reasons given.

The best relevant outcome:

1. We win at Villa.
2. Leeds beat Spurs, but still go down.
3. Brentwood win.

this scenario please

 

[Icy Gull]

I remember the Saints vs Spurs stitch up but beating those shitehousers of Villa and denying them European football would be far more satisfying to me than helping them get into Europe at Spurs expense. Remember their celebrations when they denied us the Championship title. Go there and stuff them lads

That was then this is now, and on the dislike scale for me Villa pip Spurs

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

Brentford did us a massive favour, we owe them one

 

[A1X]

Can we not start engineering things, please? We’re not guaranteed Europa League yet and playing silly buggers is the kind of nonsense that could bite us.

I’d much rather we smashed Villa, if that helps Spurs I don’t give a shit.

Sorry but that‘s up there with the most ridiculous post I have read on here, and that takes some doing!

The team will be on the beach I think to be honest. The squad will be knackered, we’ve nursed several injuries, so long as we don’t totally collapse against City (which would be unlikely as they would be wanting to rest their own players more than us) and just see out the match against Villa, I’d rather just let us finish the rest of the season with some fond farewells to the old guard like Mac Allister and Caicedo and some chances for the younger players to have a shot. They’ve earned it after an absolutely fantastic season and whoever takes 7th (so long as it isn’t us!) kind of irrelevant to me. Though I’d hope we could deny Spurs any sort of European football next season if we could.

I don't think Roberto does 'just see out the match'..............................

 

[Simster]

The best relevant outcome:

1. We win at Villa AND FINISH FIFTH.
2. Leeds beat Spurs, but still go down.
3. Brentwood win.

Is the correct answer, with one small amendment.

 

[Comrade Sam]

Villa did stop us winning the Championship, can't we stop them reaching Europe? Or am I making that up?

 

[SUIYHP]

I don't think Roberto does 'just see out the match'..............................

I know Roberto won’t, but it’s also down to the players mentality, it’d be very hard to overturn that mindset and the hangover after securing European football. Though if there is one person who I think could do that, it’s RDZ.

It's exactly 'mentality' that Roberto keeps banging on about.
