How can an american football game be more important that a premier league game

I would say £££££ had something to do with it.

Must admit you've watched different football to me then, I've watched quite a few games where the best team hasn't won down the years and bad surfaces tend to be a leveller ie they improve the less good teams chances even if they don't equalise them.
Still it is what it is and we have to play there.

Fair comment mate - let’s just hope we do the business tonight

I'd imagine it has far more to do with the fact that the NFL booked that fixture in ages ago, while Spurs just fucked up their actual stadium so went begging to Wembley desperate for them to squeeze them in, otherwise they'd have to embarrassingly forfeit the fixture.

I’m not worried about weather or not the pitch affects our chances of winning as it is clearly going to be a problem for both sides and we are probably technically better geared to deal with it, it’s the risk of injury that really bothers me. Uneven surface and unpredictable foothold are the worry...

I imagine the american football game was worth far more financially than this spurs game, was probably organised a year ago, had teams travelling from America etc etc. All in all far more important to Wembley owners than Spurs fucking up the planning for their new stadium.

I wonder if we'll still feel that way if a bobble on the dodgy pitch prevents a clearance and allows Kane to score?

Losing a game is not the end of the world
Losing a Silva or KDB could derail our season
I would really be pissed off if that happened as a result of a substandard playing surface.

Think the premier rule that a club can only play at 2 stadiums in a season is a wierd one and why we playing at Wembley not at another clubs ground

 

[Easy]

NFL players were not happy with the pitch and had to adjust their game to it so can’t believe this match is still going ahead. Putting the safety of the players at risk.

Spurs will be probably be happy to go long against us. Poch “joked” that the pitch is probably an advantage for them.

It’ll be a tough game but I’m confident of a win especially with some super subs on the bench ready to make the difference.

A heavy roller to flatten the bumps, several tons of fine sand to fill the troughs, after the game dig it all up, sack the the fa, sell the site and build a new fit-for-purpose national between the midlands and london.
Sadly , there's more chance of brexit being a success, i.e. zero, zilch
