Spurs (h) pre-match thread

[Grassland Blue]

They will threaten City's goal with Kane of course, Ali sneaking in behind the defenders, and that Son is clever. But City are better and I fancy a big win. Like others I was at Wembley for the replay in '81 and want to beat this lot every time for that. Don't want "an exciting 4-3 or 5-4" as some have said, I want an exciting 6-0, smash them.

He who laughs last laughs longest.
All those teams who laughed at us in the past - they're not laughing now!!

Take our chances we will score at least 8

Just thought I’d check and ...
57 years since they won the league
27 years since they won the F.A. Cup
I thought we’d waited a long time

Can't stand Tottenham. Everything from the arrogant fans to the pretentious crap written on the walls at their stadium (which they've knocked down to replace with one that's slightly bigger but otherwise pretty much the same) to the luck they keep getting against us. Hope we smash them.

Slightly off-topic, but not only is Pep an incredible coach, but from the outside an amazing guy as well - an absolute leader that the team will run through brick walls for. OTT ? No guarantee of a win - but Spurs, like every other team, cannot outplay us.

They won a league cup 12 years ago though so that's alright.

I don't think Alli's having a great season - no reason to be complacent though. Son, Eriksen and Kane (obviously) will present the greatest threat. I hope Spurs have a go, as that will suit us. They're not really a 'park the Manure bus' sort of team.

I won't.

What use is 1 point? Barely worth having and ends our winning run. If we can get it up to say 20 consecutive wins, it will probably stand for another 100 years and be talked about much as the invincibles are talked about now. 3 points and the 16th victory are worth a lot. 1 point? I'd rather lose going balls out for the win.

I've been predicting 1-1 for every game since after the Everton game. I'm sticking with it until we break. Not that I'm superstitious or anything.

 

[HarrytheBlue]

Lloris, although a good keeper, has made numerous errors against us - always good for a clearance that fails to get off the ground. On the subject of keepers, is there a worse keeper with the ball at his feet than Butland ? Sorry, off-topic again.

He's had a quite frankly woeful season and a poor last 18 months. Seems to get away with it though because he's English and "Englands best hope" Curiously gets away with it fot the national team too, his place is guaranteed despite him doing nothing for England for a very long time. i know he's still very young but he wouldn't be getting this much leeway if he was foreign. His problem is he's a great goal scorer but not actually a great player and isn't really involved much in games so if he isn't contributing with goals or assists he's fairly useless.
