Match Threads TOTTENHAM vs BURNLEY - FA CUP - 3rd Round

[McFlash]

Could be that he’s fine with his support group and familiar coaches around him, but won’t cope with going away to afcon.

Exactly what KC has just said and I totally agree.
With my mental health, I'm fine in familiar surroundings but outside of those, there's every chance I'd fall apart.
Even just going to the next town on my own can be a struggle, let alone another continent.

If we do get a decent lead Porro needs a break. The guy has started every league game from gameweek 2

 

[McFlash]

Bentancur captain is such a great decision. I was certian daddy Davies would have got it

Are you calling him that just to wind up @alfie103 ?

 

[Trent Crimm]

Wtf why 3 gooners in the studio for a Spurs game?

Also absolutely hate Laura fake Woods

Not this again. Did she spurn you ? Get a restraining order on you ?

Totally agree, been in that situation myself. Maybe out of respect for SA fans/team mates he could step away from playing for Burnley too

 

[Dr Know]

So Burnley didn't release Foster to AFCON due to mental illness?

it could be that they respected his wish to stay rather than not releasing him

Starting 11 looks young

Wrighty spitting facts. Probably the only former arsenal player I could have a beer with

Unpopular opinion alert but I think some of them are alright. Wright and Parlour come across as decent guys. Adams and Wenger have always struck me as being smart and articulate. I can’t say the same for many of the current lot though.

Weird to have so many ex Arsenal men for our game though.

 

[Bluto Blutarsky]

I thought if you didnt turn up if your country called you could not play?

The country has to call him up, and then enforce it. Sounds like in this situation they agreed with Burnley’s assessment. I think they may have spoken directly with Kompany about it also.

I thought the Burnley captain was their mascot.

Merson is by all accounts a decent guy who's fought his demons and come out on top. Alan Smith is pretty balanced too.

Feels like itv have more adverts than sky!

Looks like a packed Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. It wasn't that long that this kind of fixture had a quite a few missing seats at WHL.

Love Bentancur as a captain

They presumably need to milk all the (few) games they get.

 

[mano-obe]

Huge crowd for this

 

[only1waddle]

COYS!

Maybe, but maybe he still needs the routine and to feel a part of something?
We all suffer differently and he's got to put himself first.
Sitting on his own at home, watching his team mates play an fa cup game may be even worse for him.

When skipps with a mascot it’s like watching grandparents day at my kids school

Love the trumpet guy being back gave me goosebumps when I was in the middle of the park lane last match
