On the other side when Saka was taking his corner, they were all chanting "you let your country down".
Next min PEH has scored a beauty header into his own next and they were all quiet and Saka went and cupped his ears to them

Bit disrespectful to his future father in law....

I'm really sad for Ramsdale, I think he really had the rug pulled out from under him, but I guess this is the world of top level sport. He, I think like Emi Martinez, will go elsewhere and do very well indeed.

Agreed. Imagine Ramsdale will go elsewhere and probably have a worldie against us.

I'd also agree on Raya. Weirdly for a keeper he looks great against average opposition and then terrible in the big games. I don't think there is scope for another keeper this summer so not sure where that leaves us.

Aside from that, very happy for a NLD win obviously. We were the better team for 50 odd minutes and it could have been 4 or 5 and well out of sight. Only let spuds back in through our own issues. Hopefully they play better/need points against City.

Hard to believe we could go P16 W14 D1 L1 in 2024 and still come 2nd. Unreal.

I don’t think Raya was terrible…he made one mistake.

Arseblog highlight this in his post today I am sure Saka enjoyed it…..

One mistake but in the last few games, he’s been caught out of position / wandering around and then panicking, smashing the ball out and then putting midfield / defence under pressure. I really don’t see him as an upgrade to Ram.

Must be the neutral end

Like it or not, Spuds will have an impact on our chances of winning the league. Really need a Spurs win tonight, if they lose then they will throw away any chance of 4th spot, they need to be fighting for something when they play City.

I wonder how many Spurs fans would give up 4th spot to stop us winning the Prem??

[TikTak]

Funnily enough just said the same thing in the Spur's thread. If they lose, they'll have to beat Liverpool and have Villa lose to them to give them much to fight for in the City game.

As for how many would give up 4th. The majority I think, of my mates who are Spurs fans almost all of them are fine with UEL football for a season, although some might just be on a windup.

I wouldn't be surprised if they haven't already given up on 4th.....

They are 7 points behind Villa, with 2 games in hand, so, even if they win those two games in hand, which you have to consider is 2 from the 3 matches against Chelsea, Liverpool and City (assuming they are likely to beat Burnley and Sheffield anyway) even winning tonight, means they will have to beat Liverpool and City as well, and still hope Villa drop points in their remaining matches (they do have to also play Liverpool)

So, yes, if they lose or draw tonight, chances of 4th place would be pretty much over for them I think?

Spuds need to treat this like like a FA Cup game as non-league sides promotion have beaten top teams like Man City before.

Spuds are probably worth a flutter at 145-1 to win this match.

Spuds 1 down at half-time, 40 yard free kick and headed in

West Ham or fulham are more likely to take points from city than the North London diving champs.

4th has definitely flown out the window now for Spuds.

[Radec]

Another good win with some nervy moments.

Rice is some player.

[Cupramax]

First half was almost comedic the amount of chances we wasted, second half Bournemouth were much better and created quite a few chances. 2 very flaky disallowed goals, one each, Solanke for bumping Raya but it really was just a nudge and how they gave that as a foul I’ll never know, also Gabriel scored towards the end but was given offside, despite looking like he was on when the ball was played, I was watching in German so couldn’t follow what they were saying. Havertz was all over the place again involved in everything, I thought Rice and Ødegaard looked tired in the second half but we kept going and Trossards goal came at a vital time just after Solanke nearly scored. Rice finishing well for his goal right at the end.

[Carl_VivaEspana]

In case there was any doubt.

FOTMOB MotM: Declan Rice.

Rice and Bellingham in midfield for the euros is gonna be some lineup.
