Spurs (h) pre-match thread

[BLUE THUNDER]

look forward to their response when we hand them their heads on a platter on Saturday.
They're irrelevant. One day they might grow up to be pretenders.

 

[bumbleblue]

I’d go
Eddy the milkman
Walker
Mango F

Nothing will ever top the 5-2 in 1994 for me. Not even the Ballet on Ice, although I concede I wasn’t even born then. I suspect you were?

At the 5-2? Yes, in the open air, single-tier Kippax, right next to the Spurs fans. I remember remarking to myself that their fan base had discernibly changed since the FA Cup Final in ‘81. The Gentrification of football had begun in earnest.

easy 3 points!
Fucking harry Kane team! Haha

 

[Father Paul]

easy 3 points!almost home and hosed
Fucking harry Kane team! Haha

The Harry Kane team seem to backing themselves to end our run. This will suit us I feel as it will eliminate complacency and focus minds on giving a well deserved and long overdue spanking. A win on Saturday more than the 3 points will imo completely demoralise the chasing pack. The Rags will face into a tricky run of fixtures with their tails between their legs. We could be almost home and hosed by the time we go to the dippers. Indeed if we can manage to keep the run going until after Watford I estimate we would only need a maximum of 21 points from the last 16 games. We could pick those off at our leisure and concentrate on the cups. The downside to this of course is that with the league effectively over we would lose our competitive edge for the big European games.

Lads, it's Tottenham...

Yes, it is Tottenham, my number 2 most hated team. No prizes for Number ONE
They have some very dangerous players (on their day). We owe them a bit of a thumping but realistically I want a win by a couple of goals.
And I believe Pep will select his team to do just that.
He'll watch the first few minutes to see how they have set themselves up and then make a few tweaks to thwart their plans.
And no way will he take players off "to give them a rest" if we are 2 goals up midway through the second half as they will still be capable of hurting us.
He wants us to go into the festive period still way out in front of the struggling pack.

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Not wrong fella.

Yep.

God knows where our train specials went back from but I seemed to walk past every fucking spurs fan in the world to get there.

 

[vmsuhail]

We have some scores to settle with Spurs, don't we ?

 

[Blue Coop]

18 point gap, it’s the same as Spurs playing Palace.

Yea yea!
The harry Kane team shall be disposed of
That’s all that matters for now

There's some serious irrational bitterness in the Tottenham forums. Hope we smash the sad lot.

 

[journolud]

am out with a couple of spuds fans tonight, great blokes to be fair but I'd be interested to hear their take on their none season.

 

[BringBackSwales]

A self proclaimed massive club, who are going to sell out Wembley every home game. What was it last night, 46k?

They are the mouthiest fans in London by a country mile, always been the media darlings down there and that podgy dwarf of a manager is an obnoxious prick, I’m not over fond of them myself.

 

[waspish]

Think they’ll play hoof ball to the Kane team.

 

[york away to this!]

The long coach trip back in '81 after the final replay. Precursor to the barren years. I really hate that lot.
Hope we absolutely batter them.

 

[bondsman]

Hate Spurs only slightly less than Utd. I would love to see us properly dick them but I think it will be quite close.

Don't think they like us very much.

Feeling is mutual. They come a very close second to United for my most hated club.

You can smell the racism coming out of that thread.

 

[Gabriel]

Big game for Delph and Mangala. Spurs will press and I imagine they'll particularly target the area between and around those two, so it's key that they always have plenty of passing options and don't panic. If we score first and early, then Spurs will be in a proper pickle.
