My spell for today (posted in the superstitions thread)


Over the hill and over the dale
We're on a big quest that must not fail
We're finding a way to make the air clean
And it's all to do with very hot steam

Boom boom chugga chugga boom boom chugga chugga
Boom boom chugga chugga boom boom
Boom boom chugga chugga boom boom chugga chugga
Boom boom chugga chugga chug boom boom
Boom boom chugga chugga chug boom boom

Booom booom barra koooooooooooooomba! Come on you Spurs!

This is a big chance for Winks. Will we get the Winks of the Bernabeu or the Winks whose positioning is like that of a headless chicken and who commits five rash fouls at the edge of the box?

Mason has shown a huge amount of faith by picking him so he must be on top of his game in training, let’s hope Winks doesn’t make him look like a fool.

Which ever winks turns up it won't change the fact he kept running to the press. If he scores a hatrick today I still want the weasel gone. I'm literally fuming he's starting in the cup final.

Can’t believe winks starts ahead of bale. This will be a hard watch. Big error in my opinion

 

[KingKay]

“Brian Mason” ?

 

[spark7586]

Ruining your Sunday?

The game hasn't even started. Get a fucking grip!

I don’t need to get a grip - when Winks plays we get rinsed as he is utter shite!

 

[TonyK]

Hopefully Lucas Moura turns up today. When he does, he can be unplayable.

 

[LSUY]

Sky commentators sat in the City end, about right ?

And being in the City end won't stop Daws from bigging us up.

they have entirely different responsibilities.

I just heard our glory song at Wembley

 

[Shadydan]

Behind the team, but we all know Winks is nowhere near good enough. I've seen WInks against City too many times to know he's dreadful.

We will get utterly outclassed in CM, don't say I didn't warn you.

You could well be right but then again I completely see the logic of him starting, anyway let's see, you never know.

Thats just a rumour though mate

We can‘t judge Ryan Mason ‘before’ kick off, because we haven’t got a clue what strategy he’s implemented. We have no idea what’s been discussed with the senior players, or indeed how the players have trained these past few days.

Let’s hope he’s thought this through properly.
I‘m sure he has.

Is it fuck!!!

 

[13VanDerBale13]

Not feeling good about this at all

 

[Metalhead]

It's easy to tell that talk sport is owned by the same company that own the S*n newspaper. Giving it all the emotional "we are the football family" stuff regarding the ESL.

 

[Mattspurs1982]

Yes I get that, different positions, but the shape in the middle may have changed to get that 3rd cm in there, at Bale’s expense

 

[spurs-r-us]

Let’s hope he’s thought this through properly.
I‘m sure he has.

If I were in his shoes, in this job at short notice at the age of 29, long before I'm ready, having only coached under 18s...

I'd probably not have slept in days.

Is it fuck!!!

I could see that reaction coming lol

We always play with 3 cms

I think these players are in their 'bounce' period right now but yeah I want him gone in the summer because ulmately he's not good enough and he will just revert to type.
