Man City 0 SPURS 1

[Kirstie THFC]

Bolton job done, next up ... City :ninja

Got a ticket for this the other day so looking forward to it that little bit more now!

Win this, 4th is ours ...

[The Devil]

I have a feeling this could end a draw 1-1 for me .

[MrTea]

I can't see a victory, we are toilet away from home.

[Kingdom]

Im with Tea - I cannot see us winning here

[megadan777]

gonna be a great game to watch, i think it will be a draw

[Berean Todd]

I don't know. I know we are not as strong on the road, but the season is coming down to it and this is for fourth. I think 'Arry will have the lads ready to play, and I think we are capable of winning it. If someone put a gun to my head and said "you better choose right" I would probably say City will win it. But we have full capability of doing them here, and I'll certainly be hoping that we pull it off.

[The_Big_Easy]

Between you 2 for the last CL spot then. The shite are out of it after today

[bluemoon32]

It's gonna be a great but horribly nervy night for us all.
I fancy a draw myself but whether it's us or you that miss out ,one thing shouldn't be forgotten, both clubs should be proud of the way it's gone this season .
I obviously hope we win but if we don't then i hope you all enjoy the CL next season

Spot on with everything there.

I have never been so nervous and yes, that includes the likes of pre match nerves against the scum Arsenal and Chelsea! The game has got so much build up to it now and thats not helping the nerves either. Sweating over the fitness of Gomes too.

Are u going Bluemoon?

[Kirstie THFC]

I can see Lennon starting on wednesday so I'm expecting the midfield to be

Lennon - Huddlestone - Modric - Bale

[Fredo]

Maybe too much to say biggest game in your history but it must be high up on the list. This is the playoff for 4th.

And i think id prefer you to get 4th than City cos if City wins it, theyll be able to go and buy the league cos players will want to sign for them now with money and CL on offer.
You wouldnt have that appeal even with CL football on offer and would probably go out in the qualifiers anyway :D

Still, feel dirty saying that...

I was hoping too but by the time i found i could get time off work i saw it was a sell out.
Had a phone call off a friend of mine who lives in Gloucester and he might not be able to go as his Wife is ill, he said he'll let me know tomorrow if i can use his ST.
if i don't get to go up then i'm gonna take the kids out for the night and find out the score when i get home........don't think i could handle following it on tv or the web :ninja
Can't go down the pub to watch it as i'll end up fighting with the Utd fans in there ...........again haha

[Fowksee]

City will win just to top off a feckin miserable week for me :laugh

[Kirstie THFC]

I wasnt going til the other day.
Who would have thought this be such a massive game when the seasn started!

[mrgrumble]

On a side note, Im getting roughcasting done on my gaff and my Sky might not be working for this game...AAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaahhhhhhh :(

As long as you don't start making forza spurs threads....

[mrgrumble]

It might even require a trip to the boozer :drinkbeer

[WSW]

Just as we always beat Villa at home, you guys turn City over every time.

[Stone_Monkey]

Just as we always beat Villa at home, you guys turn City over every time.

This is what scares me :ninja

[Kirstie THFC]

Our away form isnt the best though ...

[The Devil]

I've got people coming round on wednesday night to watch the match :laugh

Thats how bad I we want spurs to win were getting together to watch you beat city :clap to that 4th spot .

[Kingdom]

It would seem both sets of fans are shitting it!

[mrgrumble]

Win our last 2 games and we could be 3rd :)

[Kingdom]

The joy of being a Spurs fan - always getting ahead of ourselves...heh heh!!! Does finishing 3rd affect how we would have to qualify for the CL if we got there?

[Kirstie THFC]

Win our last 2 games and we could be 3rd :)

If Arsenal lose!

[EarZ]

The joy of being a Spurs fan - always getting ahead of ourselves...heh heh!!! Does finishing 3rd affect how we would have to qualify for the CL if we got there?
we would qualify automatically but lets face it, its not gonna happen, lets just secure 4th.

[mrgrumble]

Lets be positive, phuck it :)

[EarZ]

lol it would be amazing!

anyone know if they are showing the game live on the big screens at white hart lane?

[Kirstie THFC]

Harry Redknapp is waiting on the fitness of Heurelho Gomes and Ledley King ahead of Wednesday night's (May 5) crunch match at City.

The big question is whether or not Ledley's troublesome knee will settle down in time to play two matches in the space of five days after another fine display against Bolton on Saturday.

"It's a case of waiting to see how he is and how he recovers from the weekend," said Harry before training on Tuesday.

"He will come out today and have a loosener with us and then we'll make a decision.

"I'll leave it to Ledley. If he feels he's fit and he's up for playing, he'll tell me. If he's not quite right, he'll tell me. He knows his body and how his knee is feeling and he will let me know."

Goalkeeper Gomes picked up a groin injury in the final minutes of Saturday's 1-0 win against Bolton.

"Again, we'll see how he is today," said Harry. "He didn't train yesterday (Monday) and he won't do too much today.

"He's been top drawer, a fantastic goalkeeper but if he's not fit Ben Alnwick will play and Jimmy Walker will be on the bench.

"We hope he's fit because he's important to us. I'm hopeful."

Vedran Corluka (ankle) is still out alongside long-term absentees Niko Kranjcar (ankle), Jonathan Woodgate (groin) and Carlo Cudicini (wrist, pelvis).

[Sparky]

I can't believe King played at the weekend with this one tomorrow. Hopefully Gomes is fit too.

Will be watching this with a load of Spurs fans. I hope you get at least a draw.

[libertine]

Just stuck a fiver on Spurs to win 3-2

So you better be bloody up for this one.

[Manic Loop]

cmon spurs

[libertine]

Crouch hits the post.

Bale with a great chance too.

City looking very shaky at the back.

[Manic Loop]

bodes well.

[libertine]

FVCKER

King disallowed. I have 3 quid on him scoring too!

[Manic Loop]

fvck. thought theyd got em thern. did have his arms on back

[libertine]

I knew Spurs would scare them from set plays. They will score if they can get a few more.

[libertine]

Great strike by Johnson, good save by Gomes/

[Manic Loop]

my brothers sentiment on this match is as follows

if city win then liverpool will forever be mediocre mid table....

has its appeals

[libertine]

City will finish above Liverpool anyway.

If Spurs finish 4th they will too.

So Spurs relegates Liverpool further down the table...

[libertine]

Gomes with another good save.

Cracking match this.

[Manic Loop]

City will finish above Liverpool anyway.

If Spurs finish 4th they will too.

So Spurs relegates Liverpool further down the table...

i know that city will finish above them.. duh. simple point

point is if city get chaampo league football. they'll create a new top 4 hegemony. which will break liverpool possibly

[libertine]

Noooo

I am talking about next season.

I think that City will be one of the big clubs regardless.

If Spurs get CL football, that could mean they join the big boys too.

That will make it even harder for Liverpool to get back in there;

[Manic Loop]

and thats all just IF Forest dont get in there

[Manic Loop]

Bale shoulda scored

[libertine]

Fantastic football from Spurs - Bake should have found the corner.

[libertine]

and thats all just IF Forest dont get in there

True.

Top 4 next season.

Win the Champs league the year after.


All with Julian Bennett at LB, just to prove how easy it is.

[Manic Loop]

Ian DArke is full of crap. does this guy even know football. isnt he a boxing commentator? spurs never nearly loaned us BAle. it was never a starter so whats he on about

[Fredo]

I have to say, Gomes is making me eat my words this season.
I thought he was a right clown before but he really isnt.

[libertine]

I have to say, Gomes is making me eat my words this season.
I thought he was a right clown before but he really isnt.

To be fair, I think every fan and pundit in the country is eating the same words.

[Fredo]

Its great, even Spurs fans are booing Adebayor :laugh

[TheNameOfTheG..]

Tough game, not much of beauty, but some nice chances on both sides. Not typical EPL game I have usualy watched, more like CL 4final game which is reasonable consdering the importance of the game... Think Spurs should do a bit better in the 2nd half. I expect more from wingers and central midfielders, a bit more possesion of the ball...

[Kingdom]

City have look more dangerous on the attack. We have not be using the wingers and have given away possession in midfield. Need to improve 2nd half

[Manic Loop]

Modric has been far too quiet for me

[libertine]

Fantastic save by Fulop from Defoe (who has been shite)

[Manic Loop]

Huddlestone is riding his luck

[libertine]

Spurs with some pressure.

Corner.

Come on ledders - Win me some cash

[Manic Loop]

how did no-one put that in??!!?!!?

[libertine]

Crouch an inch away. Beautiful ball from Assou Ekotto

[mart]

I don't think Spurs want to win this.

[libertine]

Bentley on for Lennon.

Time for him to win over the fans?

[Manic Loop]

jesus Gomes nearly wnt back to the old days

[Manic Loop]

oh my word....... that shoulda been in..

[libertine]

Fulop keeps City in it with his feet.

[libertine]

Would Neilson have saved that? ;)

[libertine]

King and Dawson have been phenomenal.

Both have to go.

King has played three games in a row - thats enough to prove his fitness IMO.

[Manic Loop]

Crouch scoooooooooooroores

[libertine]

CROUCH!!!!

Champs League nearly...

[libertine]

Oh and Kaboul - Quality.

[Manic Loop]

nice of Fulop to palm it straight out to Crouch

[libertine]

Oh and Defoe can fvck off going to the WC.

Noway hes hould go ahead of Bent. He's not looked like scoring for weeks.

[Manic Loop]

meh, i still rate Defoe far ahead of Bent

[parkender]

Get in. Well done yids. Congratulations.

[EnZo]

Crouch leads Spurs to CL Football :)

[MrTea]

FUuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuckin GET IN!

[Seifer]

YEES, superb stuff. Congrats all Spurs fans :D

☆ COYS ☆

[Scholesy18]

Well done guys, happy for Spurs after lasgnagate in '06.

Mostly happy though cause it's something different for the top 4.

As for City, unlucky but hey the bright side is with all that cash, you'll eventually get in, probably next season.

Wonder who Spurs will be able to attract now with CL football, they're not short of funds either. Exciting times for you guys.

[cherzo]

:clap :dk :drinkbeer Fantastic. Great performance tonight.

[parkender]

Crouch leads Spurs to CL Football :)

Benitez would still play N'gog ahead of him .

[EnZo]

Benitez would still play N'gog ahead of him .

Congrats to Spurs on a well-played game and a fantastic season. You guys have deserved this

[parkender]

I know, hence my sig...

Haha ! err.. NO, Rafa must stay !

[Van Der Vaart 23]

Gratz boys and girls! Was really rooting for Spurs to end 4th. :)

Hope we meet in the CL qualifiers, though we have to get past the 3rd round first obviously.

[srexr]

What a great game Spurs played - well deserved with these last few performances - congrats! :clap:clap:clap:clap:clap:clap:clap:clap

[The_Big_Easy]

Congrats to Spurs :clap Nice to see someone different for a change..

lol at Harry getting drowned there :laugh

[nAz]

Congratulations Spurs. You deserved it and have played some great football this year.

Good luck in the CL. Enjoy the best competition in the world. :D

[Stone_Monkey]

Congratulations.

[EarZ]

i amover the ******* moon. rio and terry? nah king and dawson. both of them have to go. kings played more than rio this year.

COME ON YOU SPURS!!!!!
(and come on fulham)

[Berean Todd]

Woo, what a game that was, I was biting my nails on it. A few weeks ago I thought we were dead in the water then we pull off this string of results against this type of competition. How sweet it is, what a run of form, what a time to do it, I need a beer! :dk:drinkbeer

[Kingdom]

I am over the moon -I never thought this would happen.

Lost for words

[PIB2]

Well done lads (and lasses). Deserved it over the season.

Don't fvck it up in the qualifying round like we would have!!

But enjoy it, cos next year we'll be back bigger and stronger! I hope. Haha

[Bossanova]

what a world we live in

spurs might make the cl, whilst porto won't

[Berean Todd]

spurs might make the cl, whilst porto won't

No might about it bud, today's match sealed the deal. Regardless of what happens this weekend we are in. The only question is do we finish top of L'Arse or not?

[nAz]

Dude, there is a small matter of the qualifying stages which everton and newcastle can tell you isnt fvcking easy.

[Kirstie THFC]

I cant quiet explain the emotion I went through tonight. I have never attended such a game of such importance (and that includes cup finals!).

Outside the ground after .... Immense.

I'll post views on the match tomorrow coz right now I'm ******* just absolutely buzzing!

[grobbelaargate]

Well done Spurs. Everyone's eating their words now.

[C]

now go leap arsenal for third please.

[Defoe8]

Greatest day of my life, I LOVE YOU SPURS :clap:clap2:muchbowin

[TheNameOfTheG..]

Watched the 1st half then I lost my internet connection due to storm :S so I went to sleep, but I read Spurs were quite better in 2nd half...
Great stuff! V happy. I feel a bit of consolation in this result for Sibneik's cup final lose yesterday.:drinkbeer

[Tanghe the best]

Congratz guys.

I really wish we would have gotten it after all those years of misery, but you were simply the better team - home, away and also over the season :(

Good luck in the qualifiers.

[bluemoon32]

Well said Sire, hope all you Spurs fans have a great time in the CL

[Kingov]

Tottenham deserved to win more the three points. They had more chances to score and It was normally to score in the end.

Manchini have still to learn some things for the british football.

[Kingdom]

Thank you City fans for your kind words - nice to know that this kind of fan still exists although I notice one City fan who likes to post on here hasn't said anything yet. Foley?

[Tanghe the best]

He is on on holiday, but I am sure he send a certain Spurs lady a nice text last night ;)

[mrgrumble]

I'm always drawing the boot off Big Crouch on here but I thought he was excellent last night :)

Fully deserved win and our greatest achievement since the 91 final.

:spurs

[WSW]

Bah, well done you bastards - same every time we play you! Probably the best team I saw at COMS this year, not sure how your away form was so patchy but there you go. We were never in it after about 60 mins and then the writing was on the wall, we needed to score early and draw you out but if you keep our wingers on the outside noone can deliver a ball that isnt going to get mopped up by Dawson or King.

[Manic Loop]

MAn City to buy Spurs team.......

He didnt actually. He's too bitter to do something like that :laugh

[Kirstie THFC]

About the game itself in terms of performance for the teams.

I thought we dominated most of the game, however City were creating half chances but never really tested to the level you would expect from two teams so close in the league. I thought the goal was never going to come and we would witness a 0-0 draw, clearly that wasnt to be.

Dawson and King, just outstanding AGAIN. I wish King wasnt so ****ed. Bale once again showed class. Defoe probably put in one of his better performances. Modric was kept out of the game, unfortunately. Gomes solid again bar one scary moment!

Atmosphere, electric.

[Kingdom]

I must admit, one we hit the 70 minute mark it looked like City started to run out of steam - I was actually surprised that City didn't really come at us after the went 1-0 down.
Gomes was outstanding as was King and Dawson - who both deserve a World Cup spot this summer.
In typcial Spurs supporting fashion I am already worried about the qualifiers!!

[Bossanova]

Dude, there is a small matter of the qualifying stages which everton and newcastle can tell you isnt fvcking easy.

Tottenham star Ledley King has to be helped from nightclub after celebrating Champions League place with team-mates
By Georgina Littlejohn
Last updated at 11:13 AM on 7th May 2010
Comments (2) Add to My Stories
Having reached the Champions League for the very first time, you can't blame the Tottenham Hotspur players for wanting to celebrate.
And true to form, Ledley King led by example - but not on the pitch, where his bravery helped his club to their highest league position in the history of the Premiership.
The 29-year-old, whose cannot even train because his knees are in such a terrible state, had to be helped from the club after one too many glasses of pop.

Show me the way to go home: Tottenham defender Ledley King is helped out of Maya nightclub after celebrating the team reaching the Champions League

King was joined at the Maya London nightclub on Tottenham Court Road by team mates Peter Crouch, Tom Huddlestone and David Bentley, who also appeared to have fully enjoyed the celebrations.

The boys were hit the town after securing a famous victory at Manchester City, which guaranteed fourth place in the Premiership and a shot at European glory next year.
In doing so, King, Crouch and Huddlestone have all given themselves a chance of making the England squad for the World Cup which is named next Tuesay.

Taxi for Mr King! A bouncer helps the Spurs player out of the club, on to the street and into a cab
However, their club boss, Harry Redknapp, will view their adventures dimly. He is known to take a hard line on night-time offenders - he loaned Robbie Keane to Celtic after he organised Christmas party drinks in Dublin against his wishes and famously tore a strip off of Crouch in October after he was seen partying wildly after a win.
Redknapp said at the time: 'I'll implement a strong rule next season that drinking is a no-no here. Footballers should not drink. You shouldn't put diesel in a Ferrari.

At least the night ended uneventfully for King, who has got himself into a couple of sticky situations in nightclubs over the last couple of years.
Squiffy: A worse for wear David Bentley leaves the club with his shirt buttons undone
In May last year, King was arrested outside the Punk club in Soho, Central London, after returning to the capital from Tottenham's 0-0 draw at Everton.
He was detained after an alleged racist attack on bouncer Wahib Butt, who King is said to have called a 'Paki' after he was refused entry to a nightclub because staff said he was too drunk to stand.
He was bailed and charges were later dropped.

Party boys: Striker Peter Crouch and midfielder Tom Huddlestone

That happened a year after he was thrown out of the Funky Buddha nightclub after becoming embroiled in a row with a fellow clubber in April 2008.
So unless he gave permission for his players to let their hair down - highly unlikely with the last match away to Burnley on Sunday giving them a chance of overhauling deadly rivals Arsenal in third position - it's hard to see Redknapp being too impressed with these shots.

So fatigue and fuzzy heads will not impress the man who rescued the club from the brink of relegation when he joined as manager in 2008.

I hope he had a cracking night. Not impressed I didnt get an invite though :nono

[EarZ]

he really can't handle his drink can he?

[Kingdom]

Perhaps he didn't drink, maybe his ****ed up knees make him walk pissed?

[MrTea]

he really can't handle his drink can he?

I find that reassuring, It'd be worse if he could handle ten pints without a slur!
