Spurs (H) - Sun 3rd Dec, 16:30 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

[Fiftyyearsandcounting]

Hats off to you for being at both matches.
Just out of curiosity: how advanced was the motorway network by that point? (I know very well that there isn't a motorway very near Hereford, because I went to school not very far from there, although I see that there is now something called the M50, which can't be too far away).
Also, what kind of car doesn't have a heater?! Even in ’67? Or was it just broken?

Fun fact about Hereford (which I'm sure you know, but others may not, and probably don't give a damn): all the original Pretenders, bar Chrissie Hynde, came from there.

Edit: well, I stand corrected! The M50 extension is much older than I thought.

The A49/A556 was the way north before the motorways, (nearly always got lost in Shrewsbury).
I did enjoy my time in Hereford. Got to see "The Radford goal" and John Charles score a header from the half-way line, plus a Nurses training college. Only down side was marrying, my now, ex.
Old Vauxhall Viva (circa 1964), heater/cooler never worked and constantly blocked carburettor jets.
Went back 2 years ago to "The Courtyard" for a Guns 'n' Roses tribute band (family involved).

We should be battering these considering their injury problems

remember norwich a few years back dont take it for granted

 

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

One of those ‘who knows’ contests

Could be 5-0 and counting or the spuds smash and grab

 

[MillisleBlue]

Pretty please with sugar on top, keep a clean sheet tomorrow lads.

I say it every season when we play these cockney arseholes, but I really hope we punish them tomorrow. I’ve disliked them intently since they sent me home crying as a young lad in 1981. Cmon City tear these Tarquins a really big sore one

Dias has been poor for a while turns Like a tank and runs like he's in quick sand and his decision making been woeful bit of time on sidelines might rekindle his old sparkle.

I thought he was great last week against the dippers.

I think he has been one of the players who have suffered from a hangover of last season.

But he shows up for the big games and usually puts in top performances in those, so i would play him tomorrow and expect him to have a good game.

We are due a big win against Spurs. They have defied the odds too many times recently. Good team on the counter but otherwise pretty average. Come on City

 

[Elliot houghton]

One thing for sure it won’t be 0-0

Not with Ange in charge. He’ll have a plan to make it difficult. Son knows he always seems to play well against us. Expect him to have a couple of chances.

Serious question don't bite my head off.
Where does the reference Tarquins come from? I've seen it said involving Arsenal too CTID
