Who?

3/4 up Spurs are notable
Alli, Keane, Eriksen, Lamela, Nandone, all are people to keep an eye on
but then you take a look at the defense and you get to say "who are kazz?" .asd
then in the median they have one of the nightmares of the market of the hole, the "zombo" Sissoko that this summer has disintegrated by itself the whole median ...

Some stuff from Brighton and North Stand Chat forum:

I will wake up tomorrow morning expecting a cricket score, though I have predicted 4 - 0
Play the B team and go all out, nothing to lose.

Nothing less than a Man U performance needed tonight and we may possibly come away with a point if we have some luck which was missing at old Trafford.
Anything less and we are in big trouble right here.
Really not looking forward to this, I may not listen in and just take a quick glance at the result.

Happy with anything except a clattering, Burnley must be the focus

Rest a load for Saturday, not a hope in hell tonight so keep players fresh for Saturday.

This s one of our 'freebies' against the top six, where we don't expect to get anything - except that after Everton, Soutampton, Palarse and Stoke at home, and B'mth and 'Udders away we don't have any 'freebies' any more. Still, come on the Albion - surprise Spurs tonight - and me!

Am I the only one who finds this attitude rather sad? Surely, this is what we've dreamed of, big games, big stadia. I for one vowed not to go to new Wembley except to see the Albion, so am looking forward muchly to today. If it's half as good as the day out to the Olympic (London) Stadium then I'll be happy.

I was first thinking he must've gone to the athletics, but of course... They trashed the muppets there..

I'm a bit surprised they're not more confident given the results Swansea and West Brom got against us at Wembley, and how well Palace fared against us.

Self preservation. If they get fucked they'll say, "expected it anyway" and if the pull something out the bag and get a point, or god forbid 3, they'll just be extremely happy.

For us, it's the opposite. Get 3 pts and we'll be, "expected it, we should be beating teams like Brighton!". Get a point or lose and SC goes into meltdown and we all want to kill ourselves.

I find it weird seeing other premier league team's fans saying that about us. Shows how far we've come

With the progress of Citeh under the management of Guardiola and the injury problems we are currently experiencing I would imagine the blue mancs are feeling pretty chipper about tomorrow's game, so what are they saying on bluemoon?

My sister in law is a typical modern City fan, as distinct from an older City fan who has been through thick and thin and who I actually have a lot of respect for.

She was typically patronising towards us and thinks we’ll give it a good go but get done pretty comfortably. We’re stayimg with them over Christmas so I really hope we beat them!

Yeah I can't anything other than a bit of a paddlin' tomorrow, love to be wrong but just can't see it with the way they're playing.
No doubt this place will go into meltdown regardless.

We don’t really get spanked by teams anymore. Can’t remember the last time we lost by 3 or more goals. I’m expecting a close game. With Wanyama, Tobi and Sanchez I’d be quietly optimistic but we’ve still got a good chance of getting a result even without them. At least they’ll actually attack us and you know 100% that we’ll get chances we just have to take them when they arise and defend like our lives depended on it.

Like a lot of others, I can't see anything other than us getting pumped tomorrow. Aguero loves a goal against us and without arguably our 3 best defensive players, I don't feel like we've got adequate cover in CM to protect our already weakened defence. I don't doubt our attacking ability and would back us to score, but the way we play it genuinely wouldn't surprise me if it was a 4 or 5-1 unfortunately.

That said, I can't get that niggling feeling out of my head that we'll end another winning run. Let's hope for a few more dodgy decisions (in our favour) as there always seems to be at least one up there

Depends really, I would have said the same before the Arsenal game and we created fuck all. We sometimes have these away games against the big teams where we really struggle to find any passing tempo or fluidity and our game just has no flow. We saw it last season away to United, Liverpool and City, against City we somehow managed to get a draw but the performance was quite poor. We've seen it this season away to United and Arsenal already.

So will it be one of these tough away games where despite being a creative team, we just look bland as hell or will we actually impose our game in some way?

Just wish our players wouldn't come out before the game and big us up. Used to happen in the old days before a NLD. Keano would always come out and say yeah we'll win, other players would do the same, and we would end up getting gubbed.

Not expecting a win tomorrow, in fact i've got a sneaky feeling we're going to get beaten up. Sadly.

I would be sorely tempted to put foyth in as a dm in this game with dembele and 1 of winks or alli in front of him and just a 3 man attack of son Eriksen and kane and play on the counter like we did at madrid
That way we hopefully don't get our pants pulled down and may get a break away on the counter.

Just want us to compete and give them a really tough game and not embarrass ourselves.

I'm grateful our players actually have some belief, and thank fuck they don't go into it with the same attitude as you're expressing here.

Newcastle was probably our last spanking

I'm worried you are tempting fate!
