Match Day Thread Norwich vs Spurs

At last we have reached the final game of the season. And although we sometimes squabble on here, and have very different opinions, I feel confident that everyone will share my sense of relief that this awful season is finally consigned to history.

After the game, I guess the post-mortems will start. The fans have been holding them already on forums like this. And I don't see how the people running the club can avoid them any longer.

I don't hold out much hope for this particular game. A win for Spurs guarantees them Champions League football next season and player for player they are much better than us. To be honest, I don't know what I want from this game - I just want it to be over.

It would be nice for Pukki to get a goal, though, to make up for the ridiculous VAR decision two seasons ago.

 

The post-mortems will be pretty much the same as the pre-season diagnosis: we had a severe lack of vitamin DM.

 

We also need a richer source of fibre than a basic diet of McVita!

 

Well someone got the boot already .

Probably the guy that painted the away dressing room pink .

 

Anyone at the club with the word "performance" in their job title should be a little concerned about job security right now.

 

This was always going to be a tough game but now that Spurs can clinch a CL place, they will make damned sure that they do - I feel a good hammering is on the cards for us.

 

Why is this round of games at 4 pm? Makes travelling back for away fans on a Sunday harder still. No respect of thought for them as usual.

 

Premier League have ko at 4pm on the last day of season for many seasons now.
Not sure when it started, but certainly a few years ago.

 

Unfortunately I am unable to go to the match but I have seen news there are fears that Spurs fans may try to infiltrate the home end.

The club will carry out it's usual match day checks to ensure no away fans are in the home areas, and if any are found, they will be ejected from the stadium.

One post from a Spurs fans states: “Any Tottenham fans thinking about getting tickets in the Norwich end to try get in to away end?”

In response, one fan commented: “Yes investigating all options.”

Another Twitter post reads: “Happy to pay whatever – just really need the tickets.”

Responses to Tottenham fans say a ticket is available for £1,000.

 

Not really sure why this matters , I sit in the home end for most London fixtures I've been to, even a few Ipswich games.

Norwich have nothing to play for and Spurs are playing for a Champions league spot .

Neither side are rowdy hooligans.

It's just a game

 

At least after this game there are no more games and we can have new hope next year haha

 

I love pre season , I usually get to a few friendlies with £1 kids tickets .
Sumner in Norwich spending the day there and finding a nice restaurant.

Tricked my brain into accepting 1 great season followed by misery after 6 relegations and 5 promotions to the Premier league.

This being one of the worst I have endured .

Maybe the win against Watford with Sargent's scorpion kick was the only memorable result.

Couldn't care less how many Spuds put past us I'm already on the beach

 

Norwich v Tottenham
I know there is this perception that Tottenham can always slip up, but not this time.

I am expecting Norwich to give them a game but Spurs have got Dejan Kulusevski now as well as Harry Kane and Son Heung-min and I don't see the Canaries holding out, let alone beating them.

Spurs have fought so hard to get into this position, where they just need a point to get back into the Champions League after two seasons away. I don't see them falling at the final hurdle.

Lawro's prediction: 0-2

Lawro's last predictions, thank God

 

Rumour has it that a certain Mr H Kane might miss the match. Still, that will not be much of a problem for a team riding high in the league against a team rock bottom. We really need some sort of positive injection next season, but we all know that is unlikely to happen. I can see “we will go with what we have” being the mantra.

 

Apparently a food related bug is rampant

 

Norwich City head coach Dean Smith has confirmed that both Ben Gibson and Billy Gilmour are doubts for Sunday's match with Tottenham Hotspur.

Gibson picked up a back injury in the 1-1 draw at Wolverhampton Wanderers and has not trained all week, while Billy Gilmour has rolled his ankle and is currently being assessed by his parent club Chelsea.

Smith didn't not rule either player out of featuring against Spurs, but admitted they were both doubts.

Aside from that there are no fresh injury worries ahead of the match.

 

Agree with that. I can remember fans mixing in the River End in times past without problems. In fact it added to the banter before, during and after the match.

 

It's going to be a long day for Leeds & Burnley fans both on 35 points .
