Last ever match at White Hart Lane, two teams with nothing to play for but pride at this stage, 2 - 1 to Spurs.

Spurs: Lloris, Trippier, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Davies, Wanyama, Dier, Eriksen, Alli, Son, Kane. Subs: Walker, Janssen, Vorm, Nkoudou, Sissoko, Dembele, Wimmer.
Man Utd: de Gea, Smalling, Bailly, Jones, Tuanzebe, Rooney, Carrick, Blind, Lingard, Mata, Martial. Subs: Rashford, Romero, Ander Herrera, Mkhitaryan, Darmian, McTominay, Mitchell.
Referee: Jon Moss - 119 Yellows and 3 Reds in 28 PL outings, that's 4.35 cards per game on average.
Spurs 4/6
Man Utd 5
Draw 3
Preamble by Simon Burnton :
"So, first, to business: if Spurs win this they will come second this season; if they draw they will probably come second; if they lose they might finish third. If Manchester United lose their slim chances of qualifying for the Champions League through the league will be over, if they draw they will be small, but if they win they will merely be unlikely.
But the drama does not end there, for this is the last competitive game at White Hart Lane, or at least at this White Hart Lane. United, the stadium undertakers, were also the opposition when Upton Park was laid to rest a year ago, when they helpfully allowed West Ham to beat them 3-2. Will they make life more difficult for Tottenham this year?
Whatever happens, there will be a post-match ceremony, starting about quarter of an hour after the final whistle. Few plans are known, other than the inevitable parade of former players. Also: “Fans will be provided with a pack upon arrival into the stadium that includes a special edition t-shirt and flag, which we ask you to raise during the final Farewell to create a lasting vision of the Lane in all its glory.”
Music news: Chase and Dave are both present, but will be appearing at half-time rather than in the ceremony. Other Spurs-supporting musicians include Phil Collins, Paul Young and some of Electric Six.
So, it’s a big day for everybody. We have to hope that the game itself provides the stadium with a fitting send-off."

Two teams that don't care, playing at White Hart Lane for the very last time.
Prediction: goalfest.

"The teams are in the tunnel. For the last time. Well, the last time in this particular tunnel. The next time they are in a White Hart Lane tunnel, there will be posh fans looking at them through one-way glass while eating cheese."
I thought Simon Burnton was having a laugh with that...
But, no...

Mourinho will win trophies but Christ, this is not how United should play football.

Man United have been really poor lately, when you look at their squad they have actually got good players, they seemed to be picking up halfway through the season, but they've gone backwards again.
Surely some of the blame has to lie with Mourinho? They have had a lot of games which doesn't help, but then so did Alex Ferguson most years. They will struggle against Ajax in this form.

Mourinho put all his eggs in the Europa league basket. Could be a big mistake.
This team needs serious improvement.
2 - 1
