Match Threads Spurs vs Man City - Match Thread

[Hazelton]

That pitch is made for Sissoko. A real non-footballer's pitch. Start him and whoever is left from those NFL teams in midfield.

City turned down the chance for the match to be switched to The Etihad.

Let's hope it bites them in the arse.

Did they? Why turn it down?

 

[Sevens]

Not looking forward to this one bit

Me neither. Can't see anything other than a defeat for us. I am just hoping the score line is respectable.

Did they? Why turn it down?

Because it would mean they would play a lengthy run of away games to end the season.

It would have created a backlog of away games for them at the end of the season apparently...

Need to watch this from behind the settee, so hope I'm wrong but I can see a real good hiding. We'll create a few good chances which we must take, they'll create more just have to hope they squander them.

Take
a
draw
now.

 

[yiddopaul]

Not nervous really as no-one expects us to win. Just hope it's not embarrassing, draw or win will be a pleasant bonus.

No fucking way dude

Id rather lose trying to win. Never a draw. I wanna WIN

 

[Nerine]

I expect we'll lose the game due to stupid individual errors. Or possibly a massive blunder by Lloris.

We can go toe to toe with them, but we don't have the mental stamina/concentration to pull this one off IMO.

Well not any more. Boy, do I yearn for the good old days of two season's ago!

Actually, I'm just crapping myself at the thought of how many times we're going to get caught in possession with the ball, facing our own goal as Lloris tries to 'play the ball out of defence'. I'm just wondering how long it'll take Poch to realise we're not good enough to do it properly like Barca or City do.

I'll be watching this one through my fingers with the sound off

Already overachieving is the line I keep hearing (due to what has conspired) and no one gives us a snowballs chance in hell so I'm not fussed.

Getting a result would basically be a bonus.

 

[Everlasting Seconds]

Expecting two teams who would want to win this match but also who will not want to lose, Very important to make a statement here for both teams. Likely to see much attacking, but probably also some defending. It will come down to who, if any, scores the most amount of goals, I think.

Massively. Not expecting anything out of this except, hopefully, for the lads to at least have a go.

Basically, it'll end up with us getting no points, one point or three points.

I hope the players are a lot more positive then me!

I just don't want us to play straight into their hands like we did last season.

Also, Lloris not throwing one in would be a massive help.
