- Tottenham face Man City in the Premier League on Tuesday evening
- Spurs victory would likely hand league title to arch rivals Arsenal
- Many fans on social media have urged their team to let City win
A win for City over Spurs would put them back in first heading into the final round of fixtures – Pep Guardiola’s side face a mid-table West Ham United on May 19 – but defeat would likely see Arsenal lift the title – something many Spurs fans are adamant cannot be allowed.
With many Spurs fans urging the team to effectively gift City the three points on Tuesday evening, Postecoglou insisted there will be no handouts from his side.
“If you’re going by social media then 99% of them will [want Spurs to lose] but please don’t tell me that’s your world,” he said. “If it is you need counselling. I understand rivalry but I’ll never understand anyone wanting their own team to lose.
People are allowed to feel way they do but I’ve been consistent and strong in my belief that it’s important for this club to get to where we want to, not look for a silver bullet, it’s hard work, perseverance, quality not false dawns and know what real success looks like. Anything in between, bragging rights, are meaningless to me. We’ve got a game tomorrow we want to win.
“You think the majority of our fans don’t want us to win? I don’t see it that way, I think the fans inside the stadium will create the same atmosphere they always do.”
