***OMT*** Tottenham Hotspur v Man Utd*** Europa League Final Wednesday May 21st, KO 8pm

I think this season has been such an outlier in terms of what has happened -or not happened as the case may be- that all normal fears and suspicions are off the table.

This is the perfect opportunity to enjoy what would be the most Tottenham of Tottenham triumphs in some senses, because let's face it, this is yinning and yanging it beyond all reasonable (and most unreasonable) perceptions.
 
Utd are even poorer than us and that is saying something. With Fernandes off against Chelsea they didn’t create anything. Hojlund is so mediocre it’s untrue. Plus a defence with Maguire at the heart of it is not really a defence at all.

Especially when you think how much FIFA must want Manchester United to be in next season’s CL.

You mean uefa. Wouldn't mean anything to them. The tv deals have already been done. Not sure if they get any of the gate receipts.
TNT might like it. More viewers. Although with 5 other english teams in the comp they will be splitting viewers anyway. If they show all the games at the same time.

I think they would want Manchester United in the CL due to the size of the club. I don’t think that there will be any dodgy refereeing BUT the motivation would be there to get United into the biggest cup competition for the profile of the competition and increased Global interest as opposed to if we get in.

There won't be any dodgy refereeing but there is a definite motivation by the money men to create a competition that does not have the risk of the largest revenue generating clubs not being present. The desire for and continued attempts at creating a European super league is part of that and THFC are part of that. While we might not have the global fan base and revenue generation potential of Utd we are one of the top revenue generating brands in football and we have been part of the talks to create the ESL and essentially have a standing invite to it.

I thought the same about the cup final but our officials covered themselves with the cloak of ineptitude. Was the VAR graph disallowing the Palace goal for the partially sighted (PGMOL)?

What about VAR saying the Palace player didn't touch the ball 1st when tackling Silva as well
You could quite easily see it, absolutely abysmal

Attwell & Gillet should never ref at the highest level again

I didn't think the penalty was an abysmal decision based on Mitchell getting a toe to the ball, it was difficult to tell even after the slow-mo but I did think the City player was on his way down to get a pen.

VAR said there wasn't a touch though
Agree with you that Silva was going down way earlier than he got tackled as well
