That's torn it!!!!This time tomorrow night the Brighton fans will be starting their long, sad trek home.
Pathetic comment.If we have to start Royal at wing back, we might as well pack up for the season and start again in August. PEH and Winks is horrific and that front 3 are awkward in a 343
Royal in the back 3, no PEH, Bergwin to start and 352 pls
Could I hire you as our guide on our next Spurs/London-trip?Started reading about the noon opening and genuinely considered blagging a ticket, throwing a sickie at work and going on a royal bender for the day
Then I remembered it’s televised and can’t afford to get spotted in the crowd (happened to a mate of mine some years ago at the cricket at Old Trafford when the big boss man caught him on BBC1, dancing a jig by the scoreboard - so whilst unlikely, it can happen)
Also, I’m not sure I could manage a Sunday these days after a behemoth sesh from noon-11pm on Saturday.
And would undoubtedly end up in the old axe with some dancing ladies and some rockabilly tunes.
Gloy, glory nightsIt's football day. It's stupid fucking kickoff time day.
You changed the kickoff to the afternoon?Yes it is. Transferred my tickets this afternoon.
The only move in the back 4 is Sanchez to the bench. Will we ever see or hear from Rodon again ?I think it will be Winks unless Dier is moved forward into MF now that Romero is back. Conte already said it's too soon for the new players to start.
antonio conte looks at twitter and picks his team by what a former player says on itAccording to Football.london, former Tottenham Hotspur player Graham Roberts on Twitter has told Spurs boss Antonio Conte that he believes forward Lucas Moura should be tried out in the right wing-back position in the next game against Brighton and Hove Albion.
Lloris
Romero Dier Davies
Lucas PEH Winks Regulion
Berg Kane Son
Nobody should doubt ConteToday is the real start of Conte time.
Nobody in that squad will be in any doubt that he is in charge now.

I thought it was ok... until I saw Winks!
Brighton are a tough side these days. I'd set us up this way to start:
Lloris
Sanchez Dier Romero
Royal Skipp PEH Reggie
Lucas Kane Son
Itd be great if we can sub 2 off around 60-65 and try this out for 20-30 minutes:
Lloris
Sanchez Dier Romero
Royal Skipp Rodrigo Reggie
Kulu
Kane Son
These are the folks we have the most money invested in, arguably our "best" side, have the most potential upside, and the ones we need to continually test if they are starting XI quality or not, keep in form, etc.
Should be a good game tomorrow. Brighton have a lot of good players and at a minimum it'll be enjoyable to watch them versus our squad.
IDK what's happening with Rodon, he seems to be decent enough but can't get a game. Conte said he was back up for Dier in CD but he didn't get picked when Dier was out injured/unwell or whatever it was.The only move in the back 4 is Sanchez to the bench. Will we ever see or hear from Rodon again ?
There is that but it feels less so on a Saturday night.Gloy, glory nights
We’ll be three up by thenYou changed the kickoff to the afternoon?
But my coach doesn't arrive until 3.45 so I'll miss the first half !!
To me Rodon is a bit inexperienced for the EPL but hasn’t yet had a real chance to get the experienceIDK what's happening with Rodon, he seems to be decent enough but can't get a game. Conte said he was back up for Dier in CD but he didn't get picked when Dier was out injured/unwell or whatever it was.
I agree with your prediction of the 11 but just saying, i hate it not that it won’t happenTeam news ahead of Brighton – Romero, Sonny back, Bentancur, Kulusevski in squad | Tottenham Hotspur
Antonio Conte has good news - Cristian Romero, Heung-Min Son and new arrivals Rodrigo Bentancur and Dejan Kulusevski are all available for our FA Cup fourth round tie against Brighton at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday (8pm).www.tottenhamhotspur.com
Skipp is out injured and Conte saying he will not start Bentacur (or Kulusevski) - so there are only 2 fit CM's who are in my suggested starting line up, Winks and Hojbjerg. Conicidence - no. Just a conclusion after looking at the only 2 available options.
At RWB the alternatives are either Royal or Doherty - unless Conte decides to divert one of our few forwards, Bergwijn into becoming a RWB (never mentioned by Conte by the way) and he said he's not starting Kulesebski (who he has said could be a RWB option)
So maybe time for you to rethink your starting line ups which seem to be borne out of not reading the team news ?
Fascist fullback, swastika sweeper?Graham Roberts on Twitter has told Spurs boss Antonio Conte that he believes forward Lucas Moura should be tried out in the right wing-back position in the next game against Brighton and Hove Albion.
Eh?Fascist fullback, swastika sweeper?
He gets stick for his politics don't ya know *right wing back* lol
