Why Spurs Fans Should Support Chelsea


Why Spurs Fans Should Support Chelsea

Why-Spurs-Fans-Should-Support-Chelsea

As much as we dislike them, Tottenham fans should be hoping for a Chelsea victory tonight.

They play Arsenal in an all London UEFA Europa League final in Baku for some absurd reason.

Why, because we hate Arsenal? No, well maybe just a little, but because UEFA Champions League football is vital to any club in the transfer market.

Today, Champions League football is what every player wants, money, for most, is a secondary priority. Look at Manchester United, they are having to throw ridiculous money at a 19-year-old to even get him to consider joining them because they are a Europa League side and he has just played in a Champions League semifinal.

Personally, I do not believe for one minute he has any intention of joining them, money is tempting of course, but I'm sure his agent is simply using United to get an increaee in wages offer from Barcelona.

Their off isn't the best, Juventus offered more and realistically the player is choosing between the Italians and the Spanish.


Arsenal can't afford to go down the route of throwing money at players, several seasons of not qualifying for the Champions League are taking their toll, they are having to look for bargains. Any player will wait to see if a Champions League club comes in for them before they sign for a Europa League side.

We had years of that at Tottenham, we had players agreeing to sign for us, then waiting to see if a Champions League side came in for them, which they always did it seemed.

There is a huge money difference but the transfer pull is massive too. With Tottenham being in the final and already in Europe's premier competition once again next season, together with Chelsea, if Arsenal lose their final they will continue to be on a downward financial spiral and that affects the players you can attract and bring into a club.

To keep them down, Spurs fans need Chelsea to win the Europa League final.

  1. Apart from bragging rights too of course. If the Arse had won and we'd also failed to beat Liverpool in Madrid on Saturday (OK. Unlikely I know ;-) ) then there would be so many Arses coming out of the woodwork where they've been hiding for the last few seasons.

    I'm actually very pleased we managed to flood the finals with English sides - even if two of them were Chelski & the Arse - but having Arses with new European silverware when otherwise we'd managed to do better than they have, once again, would have been less comfortable than I'd like.

    Roll on Saturday for our full glory year.

    COYS!!
