Match FA Cup Magic - Tottenham Hotspur FC - Marine AFC

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Amazing effort, the kind of thing that makes us the top end of fanbases, stuff like this. A tenner a ticket, anyone that’s able to help them smash into 20-25k sold for this it would be excellent, playing your part in a little piece of history, the biggest gap ever between two club sets playing in the games oldest tournament, Marine will apparently be putting up the name of everyone who buys a ticket onto one of their stands:

 
This could be a dangerous game.. Not result wise but there is bound to be some upstart who's promised his mates and all the Liverpool fans that he will end Kane or Son if they played. Someone is going to want to make a name for himself.
Maybe not Kane or Son but the rest need to be on the guard.
 
Not a fan of all this 'not minding if Marine win' comments on spurs forums and twitter. What a load of crap.

By all means, I'm glad we're helping the club out, but fucking hell... I hope we batter them 20 nil.

It's a serious competition for fuck sake.

Am I the only one who finds the whole magic of the cup thing cringey as hell?

Remember a few years back with Sutton United and the goalkeeper eating a pie on the bench against Woolwich and the club sacking him the next day

Pretty stupid scenes
 
3-0 I reckon.

We can't 'win' this game, it's really all about Marine.

Let's just turn up, be professional, respect them and make sure we don't have to involve either Kane or Son.

Oh and some much needed game time for Bale and Vinicius, a goal or two from the latter would be nice.

Completely agree.
I also hate it when people say we should just play academy players. That's seriously underestimating the opponent's who've already won 5 matches to get to this round and risks us getting knocked out.
As far as I'm concerned we should be playing every game with the aim of winning it, helping out the club can be done off the field. We can respect them and let them enjoy their day, but we should still be aiming to win.

Reading earlier that Marine have lost out on over £100k in gate receipts and sponsorship due to lack of fans through this cup run. The extra 15k that bought virtual tickets have more than made up for that loss. Great thing to see.

It's been a annoyance for years for me the patronising way people speak about these smaller teams that get to the later stages of cup competitions. Yes it's a lovely story but they've got there on merit, not won a raffle down the boozer.

Also that rotund keeper that was shown eating a pie on TV was paid to do it by Paddy Power he was sacked for misconduct I think.

Just the one poster on here saying that isn't it?

I'll be pissed off if we lose, and for the club and supporters it will be a huge embarrassment. Yes it would be a fairytale story for Marine and I certainly wouldn't begrudge them enjoying their time in the spotlight, but let's just thrash them and move on.
