Match Threads Spurs vs Marine AFC - Match Thread - FA Cup Round 3

[JCRD]

Concerned that Brentford's boss has now tested positive for Covid

If footballers and staff alike test positive, they test positive, it is naive to think no one in football won't get a positive result.

What really really startles me is what happened to the whole no celebrating, no shaking hands and no real touching yet after games you see a fucking orgy going on on the pitch.

Where is the we lose option, lets not jinx ourselves lol

 

[TheTanguy]

I predict a rather boring 0-5

Marine’s manager is called Neil Young. They’ve just signed a player called David Lynch. In my world Neil Young is my favourite musician and David Lynch is my favourite movie director. That’s bizarre.

No option for goalless draw, score draw or Spurs to lose?? Let's hope Jose isn't as blasé as you lot....

To lose only

Where is the we lose option, lets not jinx ourselves lol

Fixed!

I'd be disappointed if we can't put 6 minimum past this lot

 

[cozzo]

They will win with a set piece in the last minute. Their keeper will have a worldie

 

[king_yid]

More like we get an early goal, hang on defending our penalty box until the 88th minute and let in an equaliser from a corner.

Record wins

• Record win: 13–2 v Crewe Alexandra, FA Cup, 3 February 1960[1]
• Record away wins: 7–0 v Tranmere Rovers, FA Cup, 4 January 2019[6]

So a win by more than 11 for record win, or a win by 8 or more for record away win! Would kinda feel bad for them if we did break one of those vs them!

This might be a unpopular opinion but I don’t give a shit about Marine and how big of a game this is for them, that we must “respect” them. This season and scheduling is crazy, I would be very mad at Jose if 1 of our starting players started, I don’t even want Kane, Son,Højbjerg and Ndombele to travel, I want them to stay at home and rest. Our squad players + a couple of young players should be more than enough to beat them comfortably, if not then we don’t even deserve to go through

The whole first 11 shouldn't be travelling. If they do mourinho is being a bit silly

I don't think he would be being silly, I would take a couple for the bench just incase, but use them as a last resort! We have seen how our second team can be in games already, would be a bit silly not to be prepared!

If our second string and youth can't beat Marine then they have no purpose in our squad. They are a non league side. Top Sunday league sides would give them a tough game

I totally agree, but we have seen how our second team have been already, they just don't seem to click as steam and struggle. Always best to take one or two a couple of first team players just incase.

I wouldn't. You go out to win these games. Yes great fairytale story for them, but this is José and Spurs. We're at a point where we can't go easy on 'minnows'. Take it seriously, smash them, get the goalscoring confidence up in other players and we move on.

I agree take it seriously, and if it was vs a professional team I wouldn't care that we broke it vs them, but with no fans in and all that for them, I'd still feel bad! But hope we do score that many!

 

[chrissivad]

Give key players a rest, but we have enough of the first team squad to rotate and still go strong with some youth players involved.

 

[spursfan77]

I’m struggling to get excited by this game. Whatever happens we aren’t going to come out of it looking good.

 

[Everlasting Seconds]

I think we’ll respect them more than enough by fielding and sending only second string senior players. They don’t deserve anything more than what we’d send for an EL match vs. Ludogorets etc.
