Perfect match thread. Didn't know their nickname is the cherries. We'll do some cherry picking today, then.
First PL Spurs home win of the season? Yes please. That'll be the cherry on the sundae.

Well up for this after internationals.


COYS.

It's usually half time by now on here.

 

[worcestersauce]

Radio yesterday saying we are expecting a new premier league attendance record today, is it a sell out?

 

[JimmyG2]

Are the times for Honolulu and Havana this morning.
If so how did we do?
Sorry, but it renders the game a bit pointless.
But not us I hope

 

[Bulletspur]

Its mid October and we haven't had a home win this season so far. But we are 3rd and I anticipate our 1st home win. COYS!

 

[spanishspur]

Managed to get a ticket for the game last Thursday. Will be my first home league game for some time, COYS make us all happy with a win !!

 

[Mr.D]

If we're at home why am I off to Bournemouth?

 

[Gassin's finest]

Triffic, another 2 hour journey to watch us fumble around for 90 mins, followed by another 2 hour journey home.

Ah well, gets me away from the family for half a day...

To be honest I've read a lot of comments about how we'll be right up there for the title at the end of the season but I'm not convinced by that at all until we sort out our Wembley form.

Bournemouth are typically the type of team that I would normally say would suit us massively as they play attacking football but I'd still be shocked if they didn't alter their style a bit and play like how Chelsea, Burnley and Swansea all did. Organised, defensive and playing on the break. Would be naive for them not to IMO.

I just hope the tempo is right, I envision that slow side to side and backwards football when thinking about us at Wembley and other than against Chelsea initially and after we got the equaliser there just seems to be a flat atmosphere there which doesn't help.

An early goal would do wonders and I'd love to see how we play there once we're ahead and the opposing team will have to come at us more.

Three points and it's party central in the space in my head that seems more jaded each passing Autumn. Anything less and I'm flailing about in an angst-stricken spasm of self loathing and jumped up petulance.

 

[Lilbaz]

3 points today please. Don't care how we get them.

Hopefully you're the lucky charm!

Need a win there.

I've a feeling they will definitely play on the counter attack with king up top on his own.

I'm interested to see how we line up in central midfield. Dier & Winks is my hope if Dembele isn't fit.

My sentiments exactly. If we don't win today, I'll switch to only watching sports in which I can take in the divine revelation of female athletes in skimpy sports kits.

We were ahead against Burnley, hopefully it turns out better than that.
Should be a comfortable win today, ok I thought that against Swansea but that surely can't happen again.
