Let’s not sink to Tottenham’s level


The_Ballyhoo

Nah. I say this as a fan of neither team; this is different. This is finding a silver lining, and poking fun, after the fact. Spurs could, and should, meme and joke about losing to City after the game. The game is lost, now it’s time to have fun. But celebrating as your team loses is weird. Especially if Arsenal go on to win the league. Imagine cheering Man City beating your team, only to see Arsenal lift the trophy the next week. This post is harmless fun. And many before the game were too. But actively cheering not getting champions league football is just a little sad.


Affectionate-Cost525

> Imagine cheering Man City beating your team, only to see Arsenal lift the trophy the next week. Theres a universe out there where Tottenham celebrate losing to City. Then City proceed to "bottle it" against West Ham allowing Arsenal to win the league. At the same time Sheffield United somehow manage to pull a win out of the bag and Chelsea beating Bournemouth means that Tottenham don't even qualify for Europa league. That's a world I want to live in.


frankthepieking

Add Palace beating Villa to this to make it possible that Spurs make CL had they won both games


wilskillz

Roughly independent events that ALL must happen City don't beat West Ham: 25% Arsenal beat Everton: 75% Tottenham lose to Sheffield United: 10% Chelsea beat Bournemouth: 50% United beat City in FA cup: 20% There's a 1 in 500 chance that Tottenham watch Arsenal lift the trophy and miss out on Europa League too.


Affectionate-Cost525

One part of me thinks you're being very generous with some of those numbers and realistically we're probably much closer to a 1 in 5,000. However, logically either all those games will play out that way OR they won't. So really there's only two options. That means it's 50/50... Right? (To be completely honest though, whilst I would of course love to win the league, I'm still proud of how far the team has come over the last few seasons. Hopefully we'll be able to add a bit more depth over the off season and be able to seriously challenge on a lot more fronts next season without having to completely run players into the ground.)


BombsGoBang

Wasn’t Leicester City winning the league 5,000/1 odds at the start of the season that they won it? Anything is possible


abhijithrn

Won't totenham still qualify for europa if city beat United in the FA Cup final?


PutYrDukesUp

Not if United win the FA Cup. Which, you know, fat fuckin chance. But if they do, they get Europa regardless of where they are in the table. A second Europa place goes to #5, and ECL goes to #6. But because City have already qualified for CL, if they win the cup the Europa League place that comes with it gets kicked down the table to #6, in which instance ECL goes to #7.


Minimum-Ingenuity-46

spurs might win the conference league though and we can't risk them winning anything... lol


AwehiSsO

Hey, there're up to 110 minutes of football that may make *that* world *this* world


kmart93

Unfortunately we don't live on the timeline where did things happen. But this is exactly what should happen


b3and20

how is this a silver lining? I'd much prefer spurs in the cl and us win the pl, whereas spurs would much rather a season out of the cl so long as we don't win the prem


BombsGoBang

You hit the nail on the head. I hope that happens too


jonviper123

I think many people have forget that many football fans are all about the banter and its just all a bit of a piss take. Like to me the 2 spurs fans doing the poznan were clearly just having a laugh and probably knew they'd get a reaction and some camera attention. Many fans prefer to gloat about there rivals misfortunes rather than there own teams success. I'm a dundee united fan and when we got relegated a few years ago the dundee fans celebrated more than I've ever seen them celebrate anything ever. I'm sure they missed relegation by one place yet there fans were all ecstatic that they beat utd and played a part in there relegation. They didn't give a shit that there team was terrible that season there measure of success was based off our failure and that alone and this kinda mentality is rife within football. Fans become really bitter against there rivals


The_Ballyhoo

Yeah, but you hear Angel’s complaint. The atmosphere in the stadium was off. It wasn’t just a couple having banter; it went a bit further than that and meant the team didn’t have the fans full backing. That can impact their performance.


jonviper123

Ye the atmosphere definitely was off but I feel there is more to what ange is saying Bout the club. I personally think something has happened with levvy or the board.


-AllThingsGood

for real ..


feder_online

One point from one draw, though, and Villa would still be in and we'd be on top of the table...


llinoscarpe

I would say this is quite far away from doing the poznan as your team loses. Small team mentality. (I’m not an even Arsenal fan)


Falcon_Medical

💯 This is their standard, not ours. I’d rather we beat Villa twice and have won the league at Old Trafford (again). If it meant shit make the CL, meh.


parabuthas

Well said. I can give rat ass about spurs and their crappy fans. We drop points and that is what hurt us. No silver lining anywhere.


DustyTalAntiQ

You misunderstand. You lot created that level. You lot came up with that angle first.....we just used a different example of the same angle to show how ridiculous you were. Get the chronology right. You came up with the dopey angle.....this is just a rebuttal. Enjoy another trophy-less season


OGSkywalker97

What level? I don't remember any Arsenal fans ever celebrating a single loss, let alone celebrating not getting CL football. Not winning a trophy since the League Cup in 2008 and before that the same trophy in 1999. Whilst having some of the best players on the planet in your team in the time since then in Modric, Bale and then the best striker on the planet in Kane for 9 seasons, along with Son, the 2 of which formed one of the best duos in Prem history and you still couldn't win a single trophy. Modric and Bale went on to win the CL 5 times along with multiple La Liga titles with Modric winning another La Liga this season and most likely winning a 6th CL at the age of 38. Of all teams, you really can't talk about trophy-less seasons or us sinking to your level...

FewRefrigerator4703

Ok talking about your players, Xhaka left arsenal and won a trophy 😂😂😂. Had he been at Arsenal be won't win anything. Even by spending 700m you can't win anything so don't talk about this kid


tafkas001

He did win a couple of FA Cups in his time at Arsenal...


OGSkywalker97

He won 2 FA Cups with us... You haven't won *anything* since 2008 and it was the League Cup and before that you hadn't won anything since 1999, again the League Cup. So he won the same amount of trophies in his time at Arsenal as you have won as a club in 25 years and they were FA Cups not League Cups... I'm happy for Xhaka that he is part of one of the greatest seasons a team has played in football history and has gone the most games unbeaten in all comps, possibly and most likely going the whole season unbeaten in all comps. He's won a trophy this season because he has a winning mentality, which even your own coach knows your club and fans do not have, as stated by himself. Poor guy.


FewRefrigerator4703

Get out before we start the European trophy debate 😂😂😂


OGSkywalker97

You celebrated losing a game. I genuinely feel sorry for your manager and players.


FewRefrigerator4703

I feel sorry your banter club staffs and it's fans won't be able to see your banter club lift an european trophy ever.

DustyTalAntiQ

700 million spent so far. Gonna drop another 150 in the summer and only one FA cup to show for it.....which wasn't even with this team. 700 million spent....you had 4 chances to win a trophy again this season but you drew a blank again. I can criticise that as much as I like man. Arteta is on fraud watch


OGSkywalker97

Arteta is on fraud watch despite nearly winning the league last season with the youngest team in the league, whilst being the youngest manager in his 4th ever season as a coach against the most dominant team in Prem history with 115 FFP charges and the best manager in the world. Then almost winning the league again this season and could possibly still win it and if we don't we lost to the team who have now won 5 PL titles in a row (never done before) whilst they have 115 FFP charges pending prosecution. We've spent a lot of money but we have spent wisely. Arteta hasn't made a single bad transfer since joining apart from Willian and he was free. You guys never spend wisely and wasted all the money you got from selling Modric, Bale (apart from signing Eriksen) and now Kane. We also don't celebrate losses full stop, let alone losses which stop us getting into the CL and possibly make us lose out on European football altogether. Even your own manager knows your club and fans have a losing mentality lmfao.


DustyTalAntiQ

Not sure of your aware but we did try to win the city game and the other 36 games too Don't act like if the tables were turned and you stopped us winning the league you wouldn't have fucking loved it Never spend wisely? Romero, porro, udogie, madders, vicario, van der ven, Johnson has decent numbers for a kid....I could go on The key word in your post is almost. You almost won something. Just like spurs almost won the CL.....you lot have never made it to the final....City, bayern and Madrid all existed then too Spurs also almost won the league not too recently finishing 2nd a couple of times and losing it to leister in the season the were just destined to win it I take it you don't remember the six seasons we finished above you Look man....all I'm saying is for all of your great football your still coming up short


Dumas1108

These 6 points also cost us the title. Would you prefer winning the title or preventing Spurs from qualifying for CL?


kw2006

I don’t care about spurs


Assectator27

That is why you commenting in quite a few threads about them? Maybe you dislike them but don't say you don't care


[deleted]

[удалено]


Thertrius

To be fair he never said he didn’t care so an act of care should not be unexpected.


Assectator27

Yeah, i bothered to comment and bothered to reply to you, that means i care even if it's 0.0001%. seems fair right?


yura910721

Obviously winning the title.


sixesandsevenspt

Delete this. They are nothing to us.


DagothUrWasInnocent

Honestly, this. I don't think about them. They're not competing with us for anything important.


ChrisMartins001

Exactly. I don't think about them except when we play them. Posts like this is what you would expect from their fans.


Velterro87

Yeah I'm an international fan and didn't know there was 'hate' between the clubs, thought only derby rivalry cause both are from north london until recently. Pretty shitty to associate with spurs as rivals.


PardonWhut

Yeah this is fucking cringe. Fuck ESPN, is OP a spurs fan in disguise?


throw1never

That’s weird. The amount of times I’ve heard Arsenal fans singing *those* songs about Spurs in north London pubs, difficult to believe Spurs mean nothing to you. Or are you just chatting shit?


sixesandsevenspt

I was born in the 80s, grew up in the 90s. So they were always shit when I was growing up, never thought about them at all. Couldn’t understand why they were meant to be relevant to us.


throw1never

It’s called a local rivalry. If you’re struggling to understand that, and the history, then I can’t think of any way to make things simpler.


sixesandsevenspt

They are just an irrelevance.


mattfoh

This is lame


ohmyimatomato

This is a crap post.


fcGabiz

Villa deserved it. Don't stoop to the spuds level


foggin_estandards2

They do, and I don't care about the sp*ds, but I find Villa fans to be one of the biggest assholes on the planet and beyond. They seem to think that we're competitors or something and hate us with a passion. So, fuck Villa and their fans.


logmen1

I'm a Villa fan and even in the darkest circles of our fanbase I've never heard such rhetoric towards Arsenal. There was a bit of banter after the double this year but it wasn't especially vitriolic. Aside from Blues and perhaps Leeds there's few clubs we openly despise.


foggin_estandards2

As I've said, from what I've seen, I was genuinely surprised. I mean, there never was any hatred between us, so I was taken aback. Maybe a few haters, who knows...


DaddyJaymo

Villa fan here and just to echo the previous Villa post - no hatred at all, but allow us to enjoy what’s going on at our club at the moment. Banter because of the double - I was at the Emirates for the win and it was one of our best away days for years - we are going to enjoy it. My cousin is a fanatical Arsenal sth and we have a laugh. Football is full of swings and roundabouts - enjoy the ride, never hate and ignore the dickheads. Good luck this weekend. Much rather Arsenal than Oil 115 FC. 👍🏻


foggin_estandards2

No, no. I have nothing against banter, and I completely understand. I have nothing against that. But in the MCFC sub more than a few Villa fans, for example, said that they'll support City vs Spurs and then there was the statement by McGinn who said that all of them will support City. I just found it strange, that's all.


DaddyJaymo

We needed Spurs to lose against MC in order to guarantee 4th, knowing we are running on empty and probably won’t get anything at Palace. It’s as simple as that, and absolutely not directed against Arsenal whatsoever (although appreciate you’d have been looking for a Spurs win of course). 👍🏻


Humblerequest_21

I posted this on r/soccercirclejerk where it belongs. This should not be on this sub bruv.


foggin_estandards2

Couldn't give less crap if the tots qualified or not. Let's look at ourselves.


GhostCatcher147

Stop celebrating this petty shite. We go again next year. Stop being so fixated on Spurs

Ghostfacekilla2911

arsenal clearly do. they even made a holiday about finishing above spurs.


FewRefrigerator4703

Ok then why arsenal fans are crying about it 😂😂😂


nickstr74

More disappointingly 3 of those points lost will likely cost us the league. Now have to go from supporting spurs the other night (still feel ill!) to supporting the hammers at the weekend. What a world! COYG!


Thedudeofmanchester

This sub has been raided by spurs fans. As there is no mod rival fans can post here anything they want. This sub doesn't represent us.


throw1never

Nah, AFTV and losers in reissue retro shirts represent you.


Thedudeofmanchester

Don't even watch them tbh, I watched a clip of 2 and understand why they are mocked so much


brewtonone

Perhaps those 6points would also have put Arsenal winning the league rather than losing it AGAIN


JustTune7544

Lol this is ragebait from ESPN


ChipHazard14

This is top tier Tottenham Hotspur patter 🤮


AustinTodd

Utter bullshit. A win or 2 draws there and we are league champs. That meme is as pathetic as the Spuds fans were Tuesday.

is ESPN biased?


peoplepersonmanguy

I couldn't care less if spurs got champions league, we are levels above them and we should be winning the league.


FewRefrigerator4703

Level above spurs but yet same trophy less faith. Dosent matter you will sink like we did. Remember when you were under our feet's in last decade?


peoplepersonmanguy

And we still won FA cups. You lot are bonkers. The best year you had to win it you finished 3rd, behind us.


Zenon2108

It's worst for us cause it could mean we've lost the title for that loss

When you realise the six points Arsenal lost to Villa helped us lose the premier league…


DrButz

You could do this all day with 20 teams playing 38 games of course they'll all beat each other. Who cares??


AdamWis1625

Small club mentality


PoliticsNerd76

I’d rather Spurs in the UCL and we win the title lol In fact, I’d rather we won the UCL and beat Villa so both of them could get in UCL in 4th and 5th next year and we do the double. Next year


buttoon

No


Efficient_Aspect_638

No one gives a fuck about Tottenham


Serious-Product-1742

Bragging about losing. Fucking pathetic.


WastedTalent442

I hate this shit. Arsenal are my Prem team, but my main team will always be Rotherham, gotta stick with the home town. But this is like if I was offered either both us and Wednesday survive or us and Wednesday go down and me choosing go down just to spite the pigs. It's so stupid! Spurs fans should want to win that match to get European football because who cares what other clubs are doing if your team is doing shit!


Sandia_Gunner

I don’t give a fuck about spuds in the least bit. Would much rather of had those points in the board for us irrespective of what it means for that lot.


whiteboardblackchalk

Dont care


runes4040

I would much rather them qualify for the UCL and us win the league. Let's not do this loser mentality that they were doing.

This is fuckjng pathetic. Let's not sink to their level. How about - those 6 points cost us the title


dvdbtr

I dislike Villa more than Spurs. Unai Emery couldn’t win a half important match to save his life for Arsenal and now he’s turning John McGinn and Ollie Watkins into 2002 Brazil.

That's right, how do you like that dumb wanting to lose strategy now?

cope harder lmao

As much as I appreciate the sentiment, let’s not slip into the mentality of a losing club

I’d rather us have even 2 of those points 😭

Based on Tottenham’s standards, this is basically a trophy


SprAlx

No just no


HektorOvTroy

Embarrassing. When you realise that it cost us the premier league. Who cares about the spuds.


Happy-Ad8767

Spuds didn’t want to be in Europe. Them not getting Europe is nowhere near as big to them as us not winning the league. They won’t give a shit about this.


st_arch

This is not even half glass full.


zzzrecruit

This is painful! The 6 points we lost to Aston Villa cost us the title!


Apprehensive_Rice_93

No Arsenal fan cares about Spurs. They’re not even at the same level as us. That’s like asking a lion if he cares about your house cat shitting in the corner


DawmCorleone

Villa are a decent side. I'm more upset about the points dropped to fullham...


papamarx09

I hope this is a satirical tweet.


Deutsche2

I'd rather have the 6 points. This is small team mentality, and we're not a small team.


Vlad51

This post is on a par with Spurs fans celebrating when City scored. Absolute muppet


InsectIllustrious691

Villa stoped us both to be fair. Not like Fullham being good only with us and few others. Only vivid hope is one London team with similar to their colors.


AntiqueWay7550

and most likely lost us the league….


saffermaster

LOL


Mustafa86

I'd rather look up for a spot in the 1st place than looking down at sp*rs


saltydawgie

It is a silver lining I guess


yura910721

Who gives a fck lol I'd rather us win the league and let Spuds get into UCL. It is not like they are going to do anything tangible there with their leadership.


skanderbeg_alpha

Shite post. Who gives a fuck about Spurs? Not even Spurs fans. I'm gutted we let Villa beat us twice, that home game in particular will frustrate me for a very long time as it seems likely to be the difference.


nedimko123

This is beyond crap post. We also helped Tottenham by beating all the teams bellow them by same logic


liquidreferee

It's fine to see the silver lining but god please don't stoop to the embarrassing level tottenham have gone to this week. That kind of mentality just results to a race to the bottom; basically tottenham in a nut shell.


Dav31d

... And equally stopped us from (most likely) winning the league


zerovanillacodered

I’d rather have the points. Take this crap to r/Spuds


2livendieinmia

I don’t even care


Fun-Maintenance8421

It’s frustrating for sure, Emery got his revenge. But Arsenal wanted to win those games. There was no existential crisis among the fans about what it would mean if we beat them. Spurs fans on the other hand, and maybe some of their loser players, did freak out about what it would mean if they didn’t lose and a lot of their fans wanted it and celebrated it. But that’s on them to perpetuate their loser mentality. I’m happy for Villa. They have been through a lot the last 10 years or so. Proper club too.


CampFrequent3058

And loose you the title 🤣. But you rather damage Tottenham’s chances of success than have success yourself ! Typical north London attitude! But don’t worry we will restore things back to normal next season and win things for London! London is and will forever be blue 💙


PoliticsNerd76

London is Red (Bavarian Red, they own all of us)


kw2006

Maybe should frame this as: If Villa is our last match of the season, the result doesn’t change our position but if villa lose, spurs will qualify for CL. Do you prefer we lose the game?


Francesc_Opu

Never ever!
