Advice for Spurs fans in Marseille
28th Oct

Tuesday sees the final game in what has been an incredibly tight UEFA Champions League group, with Spurs fans making their way to what will be a lively fixture in Marseille. THST Board members have spoken with representatives of Football Supporters Europe and Tottenham Hotspur Football Club to both understand and input into the arrangements for the trip and are sharing the following information as an accompaniment to official Club travel communications.
 
SHOULD ALL READY BE THROUGH, FUCK VAR.



Lloris
Romero - Dier - Lenglet
Perisic - Bentancur - Hojbjerg - Sessengon
Lucas - Kane - Son

I’m praying Deki is fit enough for the bench, his running drills during half time is a positive sign.
 
Seriously, good luck to anyone going to this game. Stay safe.

I would have liked to have made it 3 out of 3 away games but decided against these nutters.

I hope my away jinx therefore means we comfortably go through, scoring a few goals.
 
They're poor. Their form recently is poor and includes a home defeat against a newly promoted side and a draw against one of the bottom teams.

I know people will be responding with "Dr Tottenham" etc. but we are a far better team than them, simple. We should be beating them.
 
Great win to come back against Bournemouth from 2-0 down. Helped that they just sat back and let us come at them for 45 mins…. If they had kept going I’ve a feeling we would have lost that 4-0


We are not cl level in any way shape or form. A lot of our players are championship level at best ….. 2-0 loss.

Europa here we come, which is where our level is

Still uneasy on the final day going away from home to a pretty infamous stadium? Having not won a single away game in Europe for about 1000 years?

I mean yeah, top sounds nicer though.

Well it's factual...... And the whole "we don't deserve to play CL" narrative is just bollocks.... So I'll stick with the former.

Kulusevski, during periods, was warming up, running up and down the touchline during the Bournemouth game. I thought he was going to get stripped at one point lol

What I said is more or less factual too, if you ignore the jokey bits.

Our away record is terrible. Marseille’s stadium is a horrid place to go. A loss does send us out. We aren’t qualified going in to the final game. The last European game Marseille played at home they won 4-1 vs a team we struggled vs.

And this has nothing to do with deserving it or not. It’s about the fact that deep down you know that whilst we’re top, we’re in a very precarious position, so ‘look where we are’ is an entirely valid statement.

Nice. : P

Well you and a whole bunch of people were throwing that narrative around like confetti last Wednesday night so you might wanna take a rain-check.

.....And for context; the post(er) you are defending has literally just said:

"We already have [fucked it up]" [past tense] - (See below)
"We are not CL level in any way shape or form"

........Both are just half-empty shit-isms that aren't factual.

Fundamentally:

Win the game, we win the group.
Get a draw, we still qualify.
