Tottenham Pre Match Thread

[Marvin]

This might be the first time in a very long time that we go into a home game as underdogs.

We're playing Spurs not a combined Barca and Madrid 11. The negativity on here borders on the ridiculous most of the time, but fear of Spurs? I know we aren't playing well but, if Spurs are some super team and their manager is some sort of Demigod, why are they 5 points behind Leicester and 1 point in front of City? They are good but they are not that good. It's a huge game and I'm hoping there is more positivity in the stadium than is to be found in this morose thread.

Not much chance of that I fear. The atmosphere in the stadium is normally tepid at best. The extension has not improved matters and lets not mention those bloody empty seats shall we.

We're not.

City 2.2 - (45%)
Spurs 3.65 - (27%)
Draw 3.65 - (27%)

Don't know why people are sucking Spurs off. Apparently they're much better than we are, yet they've been behind us all season and are now a point in front, and we're supposed to be shite. We're not great but they're not much better. It's true that we're capable of getting a hiding but don't be surprised if we have one of our good days. A lot depends on how we defend early on.

FFS, let's just pulverise somebody and prove to EVERYONE that we are still a team to be feared.

Think most people are concerned by how shite we are and not how good Spurs are

I can see a major flaw or two in that plan lol

In that case both teams are shite but we're clear favourites. Rejoice!

Spurs have been steadily improving all season, they have a super away record, have virtually a full fit squad to choose from (bar Vertonghen), hammered us 4-1 earlier in the season and play in a way that always causes us problems. We are in poor form, got dismantled by Leicester last week, are injury ravaged and have real problems in putting out a balanced side. We also seem to be totally reliant on Aguero for goals.

Apart from that why wouldn't we be confident over this one?

Was there in 89 when the rags were clear favourites so I know anything can happen on the day

As it is I still think we'll get a result
