Will Spurs roll over for City to stop us winning or bust a gut to get into the CL? Answers on a postcard please :)
{Ed025's Note - they will still be looking at the outside prospect of CL qualification Sally so they will be trying, but if they do get beat im sure the disappointment will be somewhat cushioned mate...win win for them i suppose..

Hi Sally I don't think there is any question whatsoever that if Spurs still have a chance of top 4 going into that game they will choose their own success 1000% above our downfall. The rivalry is huge and consistent for the fans but for the players, manager and club it's a professional business above everything else.
If Spurs season is over by the time they play City it will obviously a very different senario of course and I'd expect nothing more than sunglasses, armbands and deckchairs from them, exactly as i'd expect from our player's if the role's were reversed.
{Ed014's Note - Spurs have Chelsea and Liverpool away and Burnley at home before they play City.
7pts behind Villa with 2 games in hand.
Villa have two European games either side of Brighton away and Liverpool at home.
Everything still to play for in terms of that 4th place spot.
Wolves, Fulham and West Ham our other hopes for at least a draw against City.
We just need to ensure we turn over Bournemouth, United and Everton.

I totally agree Ed014 mate, we just need to control the things we have control over. City are an excellent outfit just as we are but in premier league football no game is ever won lost or drawn until the game has been played for 90 minutes plus, there are no gimmes in the premier league, but if both us and City make it to the last game of the season totally unscathed then its important for us that Spurs need something from the game themselves if we are to need any favours from them.
{Ed014's Note - the Spurs vs City game is one of the games in hand for the spuds and is 14th May so 5 days before the final fixtures on the 19th.
Be good if Liverpool can pull themselves together and beat Villa on the 13th so that the 14th means so much more to the spuds.

Oh, that's good news Ed014, for some weird reason I thought City v Spurs was the last game of the season, the earlier its played the more likely it is to matter to Spurs season.
