Spurs (A) - Wed 26th Feb, 19:30 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

[Keeper!]

It’s kind of mad we’re only 2 points from being 10th.

Even more crazy is we are 9 points of second

Or 3rd when we win and Forest lose

 

[Father Paul]

No doubt they'll turn into 1970s Brazil tonight

Not sure they need to if we play like we did at home against them. I'm hoping we scrape a lucky draw. The fight for a top 4 spot begins against Forest for me, lose the next 2 which would make 3 on the trot and we may all start an official panic.

That’s the spirit. :)

More chance of winning tonight than against forest (4 points for me)

Really don’t like these mouthy cockney scruffs. I was there for both games in 81 and have never really forgiven the fookers. I do actually fancy us for a win tonight. The new boys seem to be getting better each game, particularly Khusanov,..I’m expecting Erling to play, he’ll hopefully be refreshed and ready to go after a few days off and so I’m going for a decent 1-3 City win.!

Don’t forget we’re currently in the toughest stretch of the season fixture-wise. On paper we have a pretty easy run-in, so if we’re reasonably close to the top 5 in a month’s time, we should still have a decent chance of getting in.

Decent chance of getting in, wow who would of thought any of us would of said this at the start of the season.

 

[skillman]

Not exactly gripped with positive anticipation for this one. But it's a City game. And that's enough.

Come on blues!!

Imagine if we had all our players healthy .

 

[balotellishaircut]

I’m just hoping we don’t concede after 15 minutes, you know like we usually do.

 

[Franny 1234]

Has Haaland trained since being injured against Newcastle????

 

[Franny 1234]

I've just read in the players performance thread he trained Monday so hopefully he's fit to play. CTID

 

[sir baconface]

Spurs to piss it with their perennial winning tactic of pinging it through/over our high line, which will take our coaching staff entirely by surprise.

i was there too.
after the replay we had to travel home on an ellen smith's coach with a broken front window the wankers had bricked
(wouldn't be permitted today, of course).

ever since '81 i can safely say they are the only team i genuinely and utterly hate.

 

[calumdown]

You're giving me flashbacks to Ardiles and Ricky Villa now.

just stop it or i'll be getting them too.

 

[Axel Freed]

Only a few short months ago we won the biggest league match we ever played against Spurs pretty handily and of course we also beat them in the cup. We’ve deteriorated since then but so have they.

The rampant negativity on here is misplaced. No reason we shouldn’t beat them tonight

 

[Dr Jacoby]

You just know Kulusevski will turn into prime Figo tonight.

 

[super_city_si]

You just know Kulusevski will turn into prime Figo tonight.

and Madison prime Zidane

Sadly this is my take on it. Could be a lot of goals for both teams tonight
