Would you rather Spurs go down-Arsenal fail to win the Champions League or Spurs stay up Arsenal win it?

AC Bradley’s Shakespearean Tragedy has something about this in one of the early lectures on the structure of tragedy. He discusses the loosening of tension in act 4 before the catastrophe in act 5. Can’t remember if he had a term for it (the shit bit?) but maybe try there?

I was working last night and had this on in the background with the sound off and even I was affected to the point where I stopped and ended up watching with sound off. Some storytelling to achieve that.
