What our opponents' fans are saying about us 17/18

Hazard was never going to sign for us purely because we could never afford him, the total deal was around £78 million in the end, it was a total non starter. We were played by his agent to get the likes of City and Chelsea into the fold. Hazard himself was prancing around on French TV playing a guess who my next club would be whilst still contracted to Lille.

I remember when I was eight that I watched us in Europe around 35 year a ago on tv, we got knocked out by sh!t team. My mates slaughtered me the next day at school, that I cried... I try and make sure now to let it upset too much... Still get angry now and then but only for a little why...

If it was Feyeboord away losing 1-0 in 1992, it could have been worse for you, I went to that game and slept round the back of the stadium the night before we left because the away coaches left at stupid o'clock on a Wednesday morning

Mate, capital letters? Punctuation? Jeez....

Earliest European memories was losing to Feyenoord over two legs, pretty sure it was them. I recall losing around the Graham days to two late goals from Kaiserlautern (sp) and watching it on the old analogue Sky on one of them dodgy German channels

The feyenoord fans fired rockets across their stadium to us in the away stand and they pissed on us from the stand above. I seem to remember some player called frank de wolf or something with a right dodgy mullet. Both clubs got fined for trouble but don't remember anything too bad for those days

Lasagne gate was so bad that I skipped a guaranteed lay I was so pissed off. It wasn't just the result too, it was everything about it, the food poisoning, Scudamore being at the scum's place and the smug smile he had when saying we couldn't postphone, fuck him and fuck the chef who gave us dodgy Lasagne!

£78 million? I'm going to need a source on that, is that including wages or something because I swear it was more like £30 million. 78 million seems insanely high, even for now let alone at the time.

A quick glance on google and I'm seeing 32 million

Worst one for me was Young Boys first half.

I'm the same, remember my missus bringing me a cup of tea as the game started and after 20 or so minutes of took the cup into the kitchen and threw it and smashed it in the sink, my missus looked at me as if I was mental and said " whatever's wrong" my reply was "35 fucking years I've waited for this and it's all over after 20 minutes"

A very poor attempt at getting this thread back on track, from red age and not Glaston,

I think Spurs might well turn out to be City's closest challengers for the Title this season.

Well @Hoops aint got no "rice an peas" and I aint got no fahking chips... & it's because we're playin citeh & we can all remember the Bale/Defoe miss... Which in turn resurrects other gut wrenching moments of supporting spurs.... It's like therapy.
When Defoe/Bale missed against citeh I remember falling on the floor in despair & then just staying where I was, on my living room floor. That miss transcended football whilst I was lying there prone on my laminated floorboards I saw a cobweb in the corner of my ceeling.... The noise of the television became white noise, at that moment all I could think of was what sort of housewife do I have who could allow cobwebs...... Being laid out horizontal drowning in my own self pity I couldn't even get to the fridge to grab a beer. So I just laid there... By the time my family came home I looked like a costume of a man a petty excuse of a dad & a husband. My daughter asked me what was wrong & I told her the spurs had lost..... She held my hand & told me everything was gonna be ok..
My missus then told me to get up off of my arse & when I told her about the cobwebs she just told me to get a fucking hoover.

I'd be happy with a point considering we're away to a team who beat us home and away last season and finished above us.

The ref was a talking point in both fixtures though which seems to be a pattern that's forming and they keep bringing up the Balotelli incident as justification for it even though they've since had a hat full of wrong decision in their favor since then they still feel it makes shit reffing ok.

Spurs will have noticed what works best against us and as a result will defend in our half pushing 6 or 7 players up the pitch from the off. It will be interesting to see how Pep deals with this, especially as they are as good as Liverpool at the press.
Will we go 4-1-4-1 or change it? I fully expect Pep to play 3-3-3-1 from the off at some point perhaps Spurs is the time and the place?

simon23

think this will be our first loss....seemed to have lost a bit of spark last couple of games and we are clearly vulnerable to teams who press at pace which is exactly what spurs (and the red scouse) do

Mr Ed (The Stables)
This will be a tough game make no mistake. The game at Celtic will be a summer shower compared to the hurricane we are going to face on Sunday. Stones must play as must Sagna imo. I personally would also play Navas for his ability to get back and cover his fullback.

Last season for the first 40 minutes we were the better side, then they scored 3 offside goals.

I would snatch your hands off if a draw was being offered. Come on City....!!

HellasLEAF
Think this will be a tough 3 points myself. Could see a loss equally to a win.

City_Sean
Still think we'll have too much for them, although a point is a good result. IF we win, that's the two toughest away games done and dusted.

Bravo
Sagna Stones Otamendi Clichy
Sterling Dinho Fernando Gundo Silva
Aguero.

2-1 City.

I'm not usually one to panic but I won't lie, Son Heung-min scares the absolute shit out of me. If Fernando's performances of late haven't earned him a start in one of the toughest defensive games we'll play all season, I don't know what will. Would still start Kolarov, but at left-back. Fernandinho was also very poor against Celtic but nobody's talking about dropping him.

Feed the Elk
I think it'll be a tough one and will happily take a point now.

Spurs will treat it as their cup final - we are a major benchmark for all the top teams now.. we are the ultimate scalp no matter who we play whereas for us, this will almost be like just another game.

If we aren't at it from the first whistle it will be a long 90 minutes, a bit like the Celtic game just gone

BLUEMATT23

Reading the press it seems Spurs have already beaten us. Unbelievably biased coverage yet again.

^ That`s probably the stupidest post I`ve ever seen.

Anyway, interesting to see the different opinions over there.

I was looking on Bluemoon earlier, they really are a bit scared of us aren't they. The assumption from pretty much all them is we are a challenger for the title and pretty much nailed on for top four. I like how this feels!
