Match Woolwich Scumbags v Glorious Tottenham Hotspur (1st Oct - 12:30pm)

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I’ll be honest, I’m not looking forward to this game.

It’s the norm now that we struggle at their place, and they struggle at ours. I hope we break that deadlock, and show we can beat them away. To humiliate them in front of all their fans would be delicious

If we concede possession and ride our luck with conceding chances like we have done recently Woolwich will punish us guaranteed. We either need a different formation or everyone playing out of their skin.

At the very least the latter is absolutely possible; so no.... It's not "guaranteed".


If a 343 counter-attack can beat City; then tactically speaking; why should it stand zero chance of working against a pound-shop version?

I'd guess Conte will look at it like this: We are ready to play his highly trained 343 where every player knows their role inside out. Conte values that a lot. Alternatively we can play 352, but it would be a basic / less honed system, designed for one game to stop Woolwich and hit on the counter. More Mourinho-like. We haven't done the work, or have the players to replicate a sophisticated Conte 352 like he had at Inter.

I suspect we'll see 343, and if we get a result, it's a huge validation of Conte's work. It will show to the players that all the hard work they've put in learning this system, the boring tactical drills, have been worth it.
 
12:30 kick off, horrible memories of us being turned over at the Emirates at this time ruining my Saturday and my weekend.

I remember when they piped us 3-0 with Fabregas scoring that goal from kick off, I was on a stag do in Cardiff with all my mates (a few of them happened to be Woolwich fans) the whole weekend was fucking torture.

It sounds crazy but the international break is arguably worse than the summer break. It’s a painfully long two weeks

Christ, I was with my girlfriend watching that match in a dodgy cafe in Egypt. This was back when we had Mido and Ghaly.
 
Hopefully they play some crowd noise so it sounds like we’re actually playing in front of people.

It must be difficult for our lads who are used to playing in a stadium with an actual atmosphere to perform in a library.

Leaving to one side the fact that "meagre" is an adjective and you can't have one, just like you can't "have a good"...

You appear to have full-on shat the bed nine days before kick off. Fuck me it's going to stink by next Saturday.

Glad you brought that up. It's so annoying to hear people say things like, "my bad" or "it's so fun ".
I'd like to blame America for this type of mis-usage but I really can't . I'll just stick to hating Boehly instead! 🤣
