Match Tottenham v. Manchester City (Sun Aug. 15 16:30 BST)
- Thread starter hiatus
- Start date
Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
Seems about right. This is my vote.
Lloris
Serge / Romero / Rodon / Reg
Gio / Skipp / PEH / Dele
Son / Kane
442 on paper, but 352 in play.
Gil and Lucas as Subs. Poss. even Lucas for Gio at start.
..."great" - so you concede that your original scheme of 3 at the back to make up for our personnel deficiencies was a pipe dream...got it - thanks

Trains running late, not even at Tottenham Hale yet!
The flag is the real Terry Naylor's flag, was there for his book signing last week.
A draw wouldn't be bad today
A draw would be a hell of a result!
Correlation is not causation, but I think there's something to this. It's probably more like they think they've arrived, so they start doing 'signature' stuff, like Beckhams' white boots or Dele's hair. Buying their own PR, so to speak. Maybe that undermines their 'it's not about me, I give my body to the cause' mindset and they aren't that player anymore.
It's different if they are highly skill-based, like say Neymar. Confidence is everything to those guys. Dele was more grit and skill. He's lost some grit and determination, but if you were a 20-something millionaire, banging Pep's daughter, it'd be easy to put your feet up. Well, son, we're not paying you to do that, so bust a gut!
I think we'll see some improvement this season, but I don't know if it will last. Hopefully he's settling down.
Sexually for me!
I’d love to see a Rodin/Romero pairing, but it just doesn’t seem realistic. It bothers me that we haven’t seen Rodon at all this preseason, and maybe they will feel it is too early for Romero? I saw that he was on the cover of the match day program, so maybe he will.
Sexually for me!
Oh to have those dreamy young Mediterranean eyes wantonly gazing upon you from underneath that floppy fringe.

Going straight in, as not going to have time to go into pub
I’m trying my utmost to get excited, but the circumstances really make it difficult…
-The likely only new player in our team is going to be Oliver Skipp
- Sanchez and Dier are still going to be our centre backs
- Our best central midfielder is too fat and lazy to even probably get a spot on the bench
- Our best player doesn’t want to play for us
-We have once again failed to sort out massive squad issues at right back and back up striker
- we have a new manager who although he seems a really nice bloke, nobody wanted and was probably about our 7th or 8th option at least
Fair play to people who have managed to remain optimistic despite all the above, but this is by far the most despondent I’ve ever felt at the start of a season supporting Spurs.
That’s all you need to know boys. Even the official media team are basically predicting a loss. Translation- “we expect to lose today, but we will give it our all “ - an absolute joke. A football club with no balls, steel or any sort of confidence which goes to show how far we have fallen. I expect supporters to be negative, but the official media team and the club ? Utterly pathetic
So cringe.
Since when does any football side not try to give everything, for fucks sake?
It's appalling isn't it
