I hope Pusey gets some action.

Box to box.

The EDS played last night. When will people understand?

 

[SWPISHOME]

Spurs are playing their first team with the exception of Gray

Porro, Udogie and Maddison on the bench which would usually start, Son is unavailable.

Other than that it's full strength. Realistically they should be favourites to go through being at home against a side missing numerous players.

Ederson, Walker, Dias, Gvardiol, Rodri, Bernardo, Kovavic, Grealish, Doku, Haaland ect all not playing.

If this were Vietnam those on the field would be the grunts, going in to take a hilltop, and the bench is the 82nd Airborne, if it all goes pear-shaped.
I think we'll lose this, but I'd like to be wrong. And so long as we come out without injuries, I accept that. Normally, I want to win everything. But we're between a rock and a hard place. It's vital to win — or at the very least draw — the next two away league games. It would be a fine thing to maintain our advantage over Liverpool and Arsenal, but just to come out of this injury crisis still in the mix would be enough.

He'll win the Spurs "Manager of the year" trophy

Maybe Haaland wants to be there ?

A bit radical, innit?

I always knew you were a consummate feminist.

For all those saying it’s a strong side (which it is) you have to factor in that we are missing what you could probably argue 8 first team starters!!
Maybe our squad isn’t as bad as some make out.

 

[SebastianBlue]

As long as we put in a decent shift and don’t pick up any injuries, I’ll be happy.

Genuinely don’t care if we lose this.

But I know Pep and the team will want to win it.

Pep can't leave until he wins the holy grail of football - the Carabao cup - one more time

 

[deano ou812]

Hope we win but wouldn’t be overly fussed if we get knocked out just don’t want any injuries..

 

[cleavers]

That's a stronger side than I was expecting. But Spurs seem to be going strong tonight. This may well be our first defeat in this campaign. If it is, so be it. We have bigger fish to fry.

Me too.

He's more interested in winning 5 league titles on the trot than 5 league cups.

Blasphemy!

We definitely can't afford any more injuries, We are down to the bare bones as it is, We have an incredibly tough fixture against Bournemouth away on Saturday who are playing really well.

Being honest, I couldn't give a fuck if we get knocked out tonight, Personally I would have preferred to see more young lads given an opportunity and rest more first team players.

If we manage to pull off a win here tonight with the amount of players we are missing it would be a fantastic result.

My favourite comp, early trophy and an extra trip to Wembley.
Stupid but true.

 

[Time will pass me by]

Used to drink in there after work many years ago. Bet it's not barrels for tables and sawdust any more ?

No but they’ve kept it fairly basic

Up the fucking blues!
