Spurs pre-match thread

[localny]

Three games in one week is my only worry. Fingers crossed we have a little rotation

 

[localny]

I feel like someone's watching me

Do you always feel like that? Maybe it's Rockwell?

 

[FoxForceFive]

Last time though, one a week from here on in.

 

[Judge Jules]

Ah, then you're suffering from anatidaephobia.

The fear that somewhere in the world, somehow, a duck is watching you.

It's quite common apparently.

Another "Far Side" fan, I see.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Do you always feel like that? Maybe it's Rockwell?

That was gonna be my joke until I decided on the duck one. Love that song, even if half the world think it's Michael Jackson singing it.

Great minds think alike or fools seldom differ 🙂

Tim Sherwood is still new to the media side of football management and it shows. His comment that he saw signs in the slightly less than comfortable 2-1 win over Sunderland in midweek that Liverpool might be feeling the pressure of their new billing as title contenders was the equivalent of a boxer leading with his chin. Brendan Rodgers hit the target sweetly with a curt reply. "I don't think we are under pressure," the Liverpool manager said. "Probably not as much as a team that spent £100m and must have been hoping to challenge for the league this season."

I'm going to listen to it on the radio via Old Faithful. 😎

nice one

Apparently Ruud "Boy" Gullit reckons Van Gaal taking the Spurs job in the summer is a done deal.

 

[Judge Jules]

nice one

Avvy! Nice to see you.

 

[LeTallecWiz]

nice one

The legend has returned.

This definitely has '05 Champions League nerves attached to it...Excluding all the other games (I know), it feels like this is the quarters, with Chelsea waiting for us in the Semis and then City in the final..

Nah mate, Spurs are shit. They are like the team from Romania that has made its first ever champions league appearance and everyone trounces them in the group stage.

Everton?

I think they're more like that Portugese team who everyone thought would be better, have kinda scraped through the qualifying stages despite taking a couple of tonkings, and remain a bit of a danger over one game of 90 mins..

#Paulinho ruled out #Adebayor expected to miss #Walker injured + Chiriches, Capoue & Lamela could be a long afternoon for #Spurs

 

[vikas]

Chiriches is a big miss for them

 

[Judge Jules]

Well, I'm not making any assumptions. Sometimes a team cobbled together in the wake of injuries plays with a freedom that produces good football.

That said, it shouldn't matter either way. If we do ourselves justice, we win this game. It's up to us, period.

 

[LeTallecWiz]

I could give a shit who starts for them - LET SMASH THEM like we smashed ARsenal, Everton and all those pretenders.

COME ON YOU MIGHTY MIGHTY REDS.

7 more to go.

 

[jimmy]

Yes!

And we have Avvy back!

 

[Spencer]

Mignolet, Johnson, Skrtel, Agger, Flanagan, Gerrard, Henderson, Coutinho, Sterling, Sturridge, Suarez

 

[Judge Jules]

So Sterling's in, but for Allen, not for Coutinho as some were suggesting. We're obv.going for it.

Good. Shows we're concentrating on our own strengths, not wasting time worrying about the opposition. 😎

 

[LeTallecWiz]

STEEEEERLING will be extra motivated ... he destroyed them last time.

 

[Spencer]

Lloris; Naughton, Kaboul, Vertonghen, Rose; Bentaleb, Sigurdsson; Lennon, Chadli, Eriksen; Soldado

 

[Spaghetti Legs]

2 very attacking teams, this should be fun.

 

[LeTallecWiz]

Lloris; Naughton, Kaboul, Vertonghen, Rose; Bentaleb, Sigurdsson; Lennon, Chadli, Eriksen; Soldado

their defense should have a very very hard time with our attackers ... make their dangerous attacking outlets irrelevant.

 

[cloggypop]

Strange team to try and hold us with

 

[Judge Jules]

Hope you're right, Wizzy, but Flanno's going to have to be careful with Lennon's pace, if for no other reason.

 

[Gary25]

Always think there's a mistake or 3 in that Kaboul cunt. Lets get at them!!!

 

[hamstrung_pigeon]

I suppose we're lining up with 4-1-2-3 with Sterling to torture Naughton again then.
