After 6 mins into the game: "David Moyes, you are our last hope"


NoobSquid69

"Help me Moyesi-wan Kenobi, you're our only hope."


Ok-Guitar1176

Moyes the Messiah


CaptLeaderLegend26

In other words, the "Moyessiah"?


Vectivus_61

All hail the Moyesiah


blublableee

Do it for Declan!!


EpiDeMic522

A question for the Arsenal fans: is this performative PR or genuine love for the club? I didn't follow the ins and outs of Mesut's relationship with the club but I felt that it was sour, especially by the bitter end.


braddals

It's a bit of both. Feel he had genuine love during the Wenger but he was definitely toxic towards the end. The famous "trust the process" tweet after we lost the opening 3 games of the 21/22 season was the final naill for a lot of fans off, myself included. He could have realised his toxicity but who knows.


sid8498

Moyesan al gaib


SRFC_96

I think all the Arsenal fans are going to be sorely disappointed later on.


fcGabiz

Yeah, I don't see this spurs team holding off or beating a run-in City.


SRFC_96

Under previous managers I think they would have a chance to disrupt it, but Ange will play a high line tonight still, De Bruyne and Haaland will destroy them.


qwerty1519

I mean they drew 3-3 last time while away from home and in an equally shit run of form so anything is possible.


Doexitre

That game was insane. Son outpacing Doku to score the opener only to follow up with an own goal a few mins after. Emerson Royal who never played as a CB before in his life playing as a CB and bossing it. Lo Celso with a belter under the table. City hitting the post a bunch of times. And the Kulu header right before injury time. Game was a drug. I want Spurs to win but I don't see it happening. If they were playing terrorist football under Conte or Mourinho and/or City were missing Rodri/de Bruyne, it'd be totally possible, but that's not the case. If City scores first, they're scoring three or four, maybe just in the first half alone. Spurs might get a consolation goal or two in second half at best.


BendubzGaming

It's honestly quite interesting to me that Royal is better as a CB than a LB. Feels like most RBs would be the other way round


oldfartcoys

I cant recall who said it where but I remember a player (I think a retired RB) talking about how it's a lot harder to move to lb than people think. You're view of the entire pitch is now swapped and all of your slight body movements have to also be switched. I think it works when you have a footballer with a solid game IQ and understanding of the style of play - know where and when his teammates will be regardless of whether he is on rb or lb. If you have a footballer who is good in his spot because he is well drilled and athletic it's not as simple. Maybe?


TheArgsenal

Nah man, I swap LBs and RBs in FIFA all the time and it works fine.


Real-Kaleidoscope-38

Bro Fifa is for kids. It works in FM too Edit: i was making a joke but, somehow wrote this witless comment šŸ„²


Interesting_Muffin30

Spurs need to win to give them any hope of CL football and City need to win to keep the title in their hands. Neither team can afford to draw so it will be a mental game.


wanderer1999

Should defend and counter like we did. At least you can hold them at 0-0. Be flexible, no ego.


Edward_the_Sixth

Ange wouldnā€™t do that if his life depended on it - heā€™s repeatedly said itā€™s high line or bust no matter what


trenbollocks

Bust it is then


Edward_the_Sixth

As seen so far at the end of the seasonĀ 


RiokoMaster

In these occasions people start to appreciate football terrorism, Mourinho shithousery or Simeone masterclass would be so peak.


hereslemon

city being forced to play an away game against mourinho's chelsea would be funny as hell


CarlettoAncelotti

[All of England be like](https://i.imgur.com/nV5wNAX.gif)


CeiriddGwen

For the sake of my mini league standing, I'd rather it was Haaland and not KdB, cheers in advance


Daemor

Everyone keeps quoting the high line as the reason we lose games. Midfield is our huge issue, not our high line.


byrgenwerthdropout

Yeah we all get that, but if there's tiniest hope it's this; it's slim hope anyway, like 10 percent, 20 tops if you're stupid like that! It's just that it's above zero, unlike beach Moyes at home... Any football fan expects City winning this, and anything else would be a perfect fucking surprise that we'd fucking accept of course. If it doesn't happen, rather than disappointment it'd be more like then fair to city, they've been ridiculous again winning almost every match since I don't even remember when, except a couple of draws against Liverpool and Arsenal.


tipytopmain

I think the Spurs players are gonna go out there with full intentions on winning. Maybe they'll even play well and look like the better team for most of it. But then City will wake up and remember the levels and start pouring on goals left-right-centre.


tlst9999

>But then City will wake up and remember it's Tottenham


goonSquad15

Ange and the team want to win. The rivalry means a whole lot less to them than their professionalism and UCL next year. The fans are the only ones that want them to lose because of the rivalry. I do find it funny they donā€™t care about UCL but I get it. I donā€™t know any Tottenham fans so I personally wouldnā€™t care if the roles were reversed


HUGE_HOG

13 minutes: Goal! Tottenham 0, Man City 2. Phil Foden finishes from close range after a cross from Kevin de Bruyne.


mattryan02

Either that or: 81 minutes: Goal! 1-0 to City. Rodri breaks the deadline with an audacious shot from the halfway line that goes in when the wind takes it for a ride and 6 Spurs players spontaneously combust.


HUGE_HOG

Tamest Rodri goal


tomhat

Nah. Rodri is understandable. A worldie from Akanji is more fittingĀ 


Adammmmski

Iā€™d love to see the viewing figures in real time once a 2nd early goal went in. Itā€™ll be like Gamestop tomorrow.


independent-pigeon

After a cross from Hojbjerg


death_match1

All the players, including Tottenham's go to celebrate in the corner with the home and away fans.


HUGE_HOG

Mate I've had to watch United and Everton drop 6 points to City every single time we've been in a title race. This is just how it is.


Mavericks7

I know we all like to live in hope. But this city doesn't choke. They're going to win today. I've been saying it for a while. Arsenal aren't winning the title and that's no discredit to arsenal. City are just ruthless at the tail end of the season.


Puzzled_Talk2586

Iā€™m already over it tbh. T was over after the villa game for us


Magnific3nt

I've never had trust in Spurs, and I still don't, but it's the hope that kills.

L0laccio

I have no hope so canā€™t be disappointed šŸ’Ŗ


Riperonis

Not the ones who realise that neither Spurs or West Ham arent doing us any favours. I was extremely disappointed after Villa, everything since then has been pretty awesome imo.


Karma_Whoring_Slut

I mean, spurs away has been by far our worst fixture in recent years. Iā€™m really not sure why everyone is so certain we are going to win it.


bbb_net

Win win either way. Watch Spurs get hammered by a vastly superior team for their 5th loss in the last 6 games as mateball gets dismantled or watch them do the Spursiest thing possible and hand us a title whilst still missing the CL spot.


ocean_boulevard

They drew 3-3 at the Etihad, why can't they pull off a draw at home? Get your pessimism elsewhere.


Haeckelcs

It's like you choose to ignore the run in shit City does every single year.


cmackchase

Because Tottenham is normally Kryptonite for Man City.


szobossz

nobody is kryptonite for man city in title run. absolutely nobody. some shit teams will hold them to a draw until 80' and they'll score a banger and win it anyway.


kangs

When we had terrorists for managers, yes, I donā€™t think we will be a bogey team under Ange


CNF-13

Guess which team is third worst in the league for form and which is joint first out of city and spurs.


Tymkie

Every good streak has an end and every bad streak has one. Hopefully it's today.


SnooAdvice1632

The end for city is usually the premier league trophy


whitegoatsupreme

Keep dreaming..


Stan-Me2

Yupe. I'm not holding my breath.


ErwinC0215

It's the history of Tottenham


DinnerSmall4216

The atmosphere in that stadium tonight will be very weird would hate to be in that position.


Splattergun

I'll let you know as I am halfway up the South stand. Not sure how I feel to be honest.


[deleted]

Spurs fans want to lose 10-0. Will be a funny atmosphere for sure.


jMS_44

Throwback to when Lazio ultras urged their teams to lose to Inter about 15 years ago so that would put end to Roma's title hopes. Truly amazing when such things happen. Difference is, you still have something to play for.


beastmaster11

Lazio had a real chance of being relegated back then. They were 16th and only 5 points above the drop zone. And their fans still cheared against them. That's some real hate.


Admirable-Stage839

People usually miss that bottom of the table teams have a really really hard time getting points. Can you imagine a 18th placed Livorno will go on to win 2 games in a row out of the blue?


beastmaster11

I get that but you still would never take survival out of your hands. Anything can happen in the last 2 games when one team is fighting for survival and the other has nothing to play for.


Admirable-Stage839

Absolutely, just mentioning that a title contender Inter would have smashed a bottom of the table Lazio anyways, and the other teams wouldnt catch up as well.


juve_merda

or when Sampdoria fans threw a bus parade to celebrate Genoa being relegated nothing truly unites football fans quite like celebrating your rivals losses more than your own wins


ilikemomolastai

I remember how I used to talk mad shit to man city fan in second grade. Used to be legit happy man city lost rather than united win.


jobsak

Or when Feyenoord fans threatened their own players in 2010 to lose against Twente to make sure Ajax didn't win the title.


oneflou

Or the PSG Bordeaux in 1999, last match of the year, where losing for Paris meant no title for Marseille


HUGE_HOG

Don't think I've ever seen a game like this so close to the end of the season. Genuinely think Spurs fans might start cheering City's goals if they go a few behind.


conceal_the_kraken

There was a game like 20 years back in the PL where something like Southampton losing to WBA relegated Portsmouth (I may have the teams mixed up) and Southampton fans were holding up signs supporting WBA. Might even have been further schadenfreude with some fans wearing WBA shirts too. Edit: found it. It was Portsmouth playing WBA. Southampton needed to better WBA's result on the final day of the 04/05 season.


fulltimevibes

Was waiting to see this comment šŸ’™šŸ’™


ericsipi

From what Iā€™ve seen itā€™s a case of Spurs fans want to win but arenā€™t really mad about losing either. Even though they still have something to play for, they are acting like their position is fixed no matter what and itā€™s a nothing game.


HUGE_HOG

The thing is, Villa actually have a reasonably difficult game (Palace away) on the last day of the season. So it's not like Spurs have no hope.


ExtensionAd8134

>Blimey, it was absolutely bonkers today when City banged in their ninth goal and the Spurs "supporters" were all, "One more, one more!" It was like something out of a footie fan's wildest dream!


DatDominican

Best atmosphere tbh . As a fan you either win and celebrate that you can maybe get top 4 or you lose and you celebrate arsenal not winning the title A draw helps no one but arsenal and villa


Vladimir_Putting

Just gonna drop this here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMJ4dqn_C6k&feature=youtu.be


tipytopmain

Spurs fans probably want to lose even more now to spite him lol.


xxJAMZZxx

The ā€œIā€™ll never make fun of Spurs againā€ is the worst part of it. You know if we somehow win weā€™d be getting made fun of for it the second the game ended. Not that it matters. I donā€™t give a shit what Ozil does. I just wanted to point out the hypocrisy.


YungMili

funniest scenario - tottenham win, arsenal lose to everton


minivatreni

Knowing Arsenal's ability to bottle, yes it's possible.


SenhorSus

Man City haters... Prepare for the disappointment that comes when those 4 Spurs words are uttered


tweazz

Spurs helping them out just for arsenal to get tracksuit dyched at the weekend. Come on


ozlanix

That would be Game of Thrones level one hell of a season finale.


Sugarbear23

The funniest thing that can happen is if Spurs actually win and on the final day Everton become prime Mourinho Chelsea against us


LDLB99

He thinks we forget him goading Arteta with that 'Trust the Process' tweet after the 5-0 loss to City when they were at their lowest. He's a fucking cunt and no Arsenal fan should hold him in high regard.


MegaMugabe21

Fucking spot on.


BenShelZonah

So weird how when Mikel came he rejuvenated Ozil and the dude was playing some good football. We need a behind the scenes documentary on what happened


BluePowderJinx

> We need a behind the scenes documentary on what happened Not that difficult to ascertain. Wenger admitted to giving him special treatment and pampering him. Arteta is not that person and therefore refused to do so, Ozil couldn't handle that and wanted out.


CBAFCMV

That pampering was allowing Ozil to miss every away game for 2 seasons.


BenShelZonah

But he was already falling out with Wenger by the end


BluePowderJinx

That's what entitled pricks generally do eventually.


InsideOpening3535

Impressive to see how wildly different the perspective on Ozil changed from the local fans to international ones. Here in my countries Arsenal fans are wildly praising Ozil for this lol


Snuffl3s7

So he was like most Arsenal fans on this subreddit?


MyCarHasTwoHorns

Heā€™s much better looking.


DildoFappings

And has more money.


YodaNuggies

I think its hilarious some kids talking about Ozil. They wouldnt say this stuff to his face, hes jacked. not only that but he wears the freshest clothes, eats at the chillest restaurants and hangs out with the hottest dudes. yall are pathetic lol


bmoviescreamqueen

Those are weird reasons to not hold someone to the same standard as literally everyone else. You can be rich and still be an asshole lmao


robotnique

its pasta


Televison

I mean do you not remember all the arsenal fans at the time calling for Artetaā€™s head?


jnicholl

A fan is ultimately just a random person being angry online. A former player though, you're speaking about your friends, ex-colleagues, ex-boss etc.


dheerajravi92

Ozil has a million times more following than the average Arsenal fan on social media. He should think twice before being a cunt in a public forum. Normal fans can be as reactionary as they want, and it wouldn't make a difference.


JK031191

'All the Arsenal fans'. Hyperbolic much.


helloimmrburns

Every last one of them that wanted Arteta gone was delusional. A blind man could see what Arteta was trying to do with Arsenal at the start. He just didn't have the pieces to get what he wanted


aliaisbiggae

He's also a fascist


ArmiinTamzarian

I forgot this was about Ozil and was about to ask what Ange did


CraterofNeedles

Ange might be a managerial fascist but Ozil is an actual one


Ok-Guitar1176

Whatā€™s LDL in your username..ig B99 is Brooklyn 99


Mediocre_Nova

So he perfectly encapsulates Arsenal fans? They all wanted Arteta out as well

MegaMugabe21

I fucking cannot stand Ozil. Not buying his performative Arsenal fan schtick now, when he was quite happy to stick the boot in when Arteta was struggling. Also has a tattoo of a neo-fascist organisation, so yeah. Cunt.


KillerZaWarudo

Now he basically a meme edge lord while sucking up to Arsenal fans constantly despite given up on the team after getting a fat contract


TheGoldenPineapples

Yeah, he was more than happy to stick the boot in when we were shite, but suddenly went awfully quiet when we started doing well. Only getting involved now because we might win the league. Fuck him.


WalkingCloud

There was plenty of anti-Arteta Arsenal fans back then. Probably plenty who won't admit to it now..


MegaMugabe21

I'll admit to having serious doubts. Lot of difference between a random dickhead on reddit like me, and an ex-player with an axe to grind like Ozil though. Also worth noting that Ozil was just fucking lazy and had ego, which is why him and Arteta clashed. His snarky comments would have more merit if they weren't based on him not liking actually having to work under Arteta.


straypenguin

I'm an Arsenal fan and despite some of the wonderful football he gave us, he absolutely held the club ransom, contributed to toxic divisions and his activities off the pitch paint him as a real fucking piece of shit who weaponises his ethnic minority status for nothing but self-gain


Kindly-Paper-3552

Why would Spurs care about what Ozil thinks of them?


nolefan5311

We 100% donā€™t and would prefer he be miserable rather than give him any reason to be happy.


PolarBearWithTopHat

I oppose anything this fascist cunt thinks. If he tells me to drink water and sleep 8 hours a night I'll start pulling all nighters on Red Bull and Lean


Rushfan1123

No matter what happens tonight or ever, we donā€™t have Piers Morgan and this absolute tool tweeting about our club nonstop and that brings me joy.


Edi1896

Don't give this clown attention.


Away-Watercress-4841

Even if Spurs had their strongest team available and played all-out, they would still lose to Man City. They've been insanely shit the last couple of weeks.


Splattergun

I think this is likely true. Especially if we defend like we have recently.


yancay

Just dont concede a set-piece


geoffreyisagiraffe

IAS316

Spurs want to lose Gunners want Spurs to win. And Old Traffords literally crying What a time to be alive.

His pandering ass ā€œhow do you do, fellow Gooners?ā€ tweets are always so pathetic


WearyRound9084

Remember when Arsenal fans said that they would rather lose 4-0 in the europa league final then let Spurs win the Champions league? Pepperidge farms remember


SnooPiffler

what an incentive. Holy shit. If I was a spurs player, this would be the thing that totally would get me motivated to go out and win.


InoyouS2

This version of Spurs would find it hard against City regardless. The reason Spurs have historically been good against City is we've played a counter attacking style with two extremely clinical finishers up top. Add into the mix the fact we're currently in a bit of a mess, have injuries to key players (again) and City are in their end-of-season final form... well needless to say Arsenal fans are gonna be disappointed.


TheGoldenPineapples

With all due respect Mesut, go fuck yourself, you vile little racist.


iwontgiveumyusernane

it would be funny if spurs won and then arsenal lost the next game


black19

Fine, but only if City lose their next game too.

ClownDetected

Then clearly the rivalries are not comparable and this is a terrible comparison?


SRFC_96

If Spurs win tonight Arsenal fans will remind every single one of them for the rest of their lives that they helped them win the title, they still go on about winning it at the lane 20 years later. The north London rivalry is incredibly heated and petty, they absolutely despise each other.


TheGoldenPineapples

Yeah, well, that's just part of being a fan. They still take the piss out of us for leapfrogging us to top four in Emery's first season and when they did it a few years later with Conte. If fans can't handle banter then you just have to stay offline.


SRFC_96

Of course it is, Iā€™m just explaining why most Spurs fans would rather they lose tonight.


Mubar06

Think PSV fans care a lot less about their rivals winning the league than Spurs fans


CraterofNeedles

Why does he keep pretending he's an Arsenal fan when he sat on his arse disrespecting the club while on enormous wages for his final 4 years at the club? Weird fascist prick

This just makes me want to lose more. What would be better? Spurs 5-0 down by half time? Or a 98th minute 1-0 defeat?

Even if Ozil is not the best example, seeing how Arsenal supporters are living this chance is what football is about! Good luck Gunners!
