Tottenham vs Chelsea: Match Thread

[glacierSpurs]

Nervy.. hope the crowd is pumped for the 1st league game at Wembley!

 

[OPModric]

Dier is not coming out. hth He is etched into the starting XI unless/until Poch starts to rotate players.

(Dele is not coming out either)

Yes, seems to be that way. I think Son is so underated but agree he will be a factor last 30.

We can't afford Alli waisting away the ball ten times every half.

The Shed End seem as confused as us what Chelseas formation will be.

 

[tototoner]

They could have changed the colour of the fucking seats

The "asshole" formation.

 

[Gassin's finest]

Strongest possible lineup.

 

[Johnny J]

... Means no formation change. We played 4231 against newcastle and during preseason.

Fair enough. I didn't see any pre season games, and assumed we went that way against Newcastle purely cos Wanyama was out.

 

[Ossie'sAardvark]

Wish I was there.

A Chelsea team missing their best player, captain, and two most attacking midfielders...

Against our strongest possible line up... I really should be super confident but can't help but feel that if I say it, I'll jinx it.

I wouldnt be surprised to see us fuck this up

 

[tototoner]

Surely this is bullshit

 

[Johnny J]

The pattern on our warmup shirts is like that shit they use when testing new superstars to stop people seeing the shape easily.

In other words, our players are more than meets the eye.

I'm not surprised you say this.

There was an article on one of the paper websites the other day that the capacity had been capped at 70,000 and no tickets would be sold at the gate for fear of away fans getting in the home section. No doubt every Chelsea **** will sell it as us not being able to sell 20,000 tickets though, even though its wrong.

My Mrs reckons they are wearing jim jams !

We're not allowed to put tickets on general sale (only to people who are members/registered supporters) as it's high risk (the risk being Chelsea fans get tickets in the away end). We'll sell more for Burnley next week when there are no general sale restrictions. Anyone claiming we *couldn't* sell out is being disingenuous at best and a prick at worst

 

[Good Doctor M]

I think it just sunk in that White Hart Lane is gone...

70,004 coz Sanchez was given 4 for today.

 

[Dan Yeats]

Aw FFS, why is that douche in the starting XI again?

 

[Hazardousman]

Nervous as fuck, got a bad feeling about this game. Hopefully it is like all my other bad feelings and I am wrong.
