Spurs (A) - Fri 26th Jan, 20:00 | FA Cup | Pre-Match Thread

City will score and City will win, that my friends is also an undeniable, definite fac…….possibility …!!

3-0 CITY….!!! :-)

I need some of your optimism medicine.

We played five, did not scored from 22 shots on goal and had an average xG around 3.0. That 4:3 comeback back in 2004 jinxed us forever.

What a shame the behaviour of the Tottenham fans that night wasn’t as good.

It was deeply regrettable.

I hope that element of our support has significantly diminished.

 

[Inter Me Nan]

Or keep a clean sheet...?

Steady on, let's try scoring a goal first, baby steps.

We may be the only major club to which the words “lads it’s Tottenham” strike fear. No idea how we continually play well against them but can’t finish. No idea how it’s going to go tomorrow but it would incredible for us to finally score a goal there.

In all seriousness we’re starting to click, we have the better players, if we play well and actually finish then we should be fine.

You wait ages for a bus then three come along all at once.

Spurs 1 City 3

Come on you blues !!

 

[citymad]

Ain’t that the truth, although I say f**k it let’s go big and say massive steps with 4 lovely goals! Come on you blue boys! It’s going up be a cracking night with 9k travelling blues. I’m buzzing!

 

[I'm Blue]

Time to get that monkey off our back and what better way to do it than to smash them with style.
4-1 City!

 

[bellsouth]

Some crazy predictions here!

 

[The Black Shed]

1-1 and a replay

 

[Manchester_lalala]

Losing 1-0 would be borderline hilarious.

 

[Gray]

1-1 and a replay

That will bugger up the fans intending to go to Brentford.

 

[richards30]

Am hoping some rest in the sun has refreshed the lads and we smash these twats tonight

 

[East Level 2]

That will bugger up the fans intending to go to Brentford.

That answers the question I was going to ask. So a replay, if needed, would be 6th or 7th Feb.

 

[The Lone Whalley Ranger]

I’m actually going to be traumatised if we don’t score there this season, especially as we have an extra shot at it tonight.

 

[JPBB]

Will Haaland play? I want to see how good (or not) he is.

I always feel that you can't tell with forward players until you have seen them live.You don't fully get it with Kane until you have seen him live. Same was true of Henry, Rooney, Klinsmann, etc.

Was at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for the game shortly before the first lockdown. Was absolutely gutted. We honestly could have been 3-0 up before they even scored and they couldn't have said anything. Sometimes it just won't go in. That was a game in which Raz didn't exactly cover himself in glory. But he wasn't the only one.
There is no voodoo. There is no obeah, no sticking pins into little dolls of Kev and the Viking. I keep the faith that we'll score, and win, tonight. Apart from anything else, there is no Son, and he always leads us a merry dance. That said, they're playing better as an actual unit than they've done for years. It'll be tight — 0-1, maybe 1-2.

 

[Fred_Quimby]

Thank f..k it's at a decent time for me; 9am on Saturday here in NZ. The afternoon KOs are a real kicker over here 13 hours ahead.
