The point is we have no realistic chance of winning the league or even finishing higher than 3rd
We do however have a very realistic chance of being caught by Arsenal and to a slightly lesser extent Chelsea.
As a result we are much more likely to lose our position in third than we are to improve it, so if it were not just a hypothetical question and you could actually take a deal to end the season now and have third place every spurs fan in the world would do it.
The whole point of a hypothetical question is to answer it as if it were real, what would you do if it were actually possible, not to give a different answer because of the fact its only hypothetical anyway.
Very easily have finished differently maybe, but realistically we were always more likely to finish lower than third than we were to improve upon it so it made sense to take it.
What is important now is how we do up at Everton, a tricky away game that we simply have to win or we really will be in trouble and looking over our shoulders at Chelsea let alone Arsenal by the time we head to the Bridge
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.If we went back to the time when the question was posited, i would make exactly the same choice and still can't understand anyone, at that time, not making the same decision - genuinely can't understand it.
If you were to ask me this evening, obviously, I am gonna say, "Yeah, we ain't got a chance of winning the league and the Goons and Chelsea are uncomfortably close."
If, however, we win all of our remaining matches (are we capable of doing that? see run after first two league games, for reference), and United/Citeh do, somehow, drop quite a few points, will anyone come on here and say "No, don't want title, I want third" :duh:
You make a decision, you face the consequences.
Any debate since then, afaiac, has been all about seeing how things could hypothetically go, and how the orignal choice could still show on the plus side. I am happy to stick to my original choice...because it was set in stone at the time the question was positted, afaiac.
We must finish 3rd. You just know wed make things difficult with champions league play off - a trip to Moscow or something. Must get back on track ASAP. Sad that arsenal have had such a poor season yet in 2 weeks WILL be ahead of us!
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
We are nothing more to Yanited than their good time gals. We're their dirty weekend away. A submissive whore.
Players and managers can come and go but it's always the same.
At least until Baconface fucks off anyway.
