An orchestral version of "Oh when the Spurs, go marching in" is being sung.
They've all got raincoats on as it is currently chucking it down at White Hart Lane.
All that effort to get dressed...

Not sure if this stadium goodbye is better or West Ham's last season. To be honest, that was pretty cringe.

I'll just give you the good ones.

Manchester United
Manchester United's Daley Blind: "It wasn't enough, they were more dominant and scored from set plays and we have to be sharp on that.
"We have to move on to next game. We need to finish the season as strong as possible. We know the [Europa League] final is a big match and I don't want to talk about that yet. We know what is at stake and we will be prepared."

Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino: "It was a perfect performance and I am happy for the victory for our fans. It was a fantastic victory which the fans deserved.
"We had the control of the game and played better. It was another great performance at White Hart Lane and now we have to focus on the last two games.
"We are playing against Manchester United and they have very good players. They have been prepared to win the league and win big things. It is great to achieve second position and it is fantastic for us. We have been unbeaten at home all season so there are a lot of things to be happy about.
"It is true that we will play in the new stadium and we will take the last step (to win so,ethign). We need to feel that Wembley is our home and we need to find a balance between White Hart Lane and there. Next season we will feel it is our home.
"We will be proud of our achievements and we fought for the Premier League."
