Match Tottenham Hotspur vs Shakhtar Donetsk, Sunday 6th August, 14:00

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

The season has not even started and the whole ticket prices crap is already getting on my tits.

It’s a middle class problem. Now the middle class are being affected it’s an issue suddenly. Selfish fucks. NIMBYs of the football workd. It’s been an issue for a long time.
I know of families using food banks who haven’t been able to avoid premier league football for over a decade. Kids who grew up only dreaming of watching their heroes play live.

And any money the same morons moaning are the ones asking us to buy average players for £50m. £50 fucking million.

This might be the season I have to step away from premier league football entirely to drown out the noise from the idiots.

Take up fishing or something shite like that.
Or knitting. On LSD. Wearing mittens. Probably be less infuriating.
You ok?

Good indication of Ange’s first 11 for Brentford with the team he goes for today.
Vicario
Emerson Romero Dier Udogie
Bissouma
Maddison GLC
Klu. Richarlison. Son

Is my guess with a similar team vs Brentford with hopefully VDV coming in for Dier
 
Looks like I'm going to miss this, will watch later on SpursPlay. Hope every one at the ground and at home has a fine afternoon

Wife's sexy friend and her mum are coming for lunch after they've been to the swimming pool. I'm making Ensalada templada de verdinas con verduras asadas y atún (Warm salad of verdina beans with roast vegetables and tuna, my own creation, loosely based on escalibada, a Catalan roast vegetable dish eaten at room temperature). A lightly-chilled young Rioja to accompany. Achingly middle class or what?

(Verdinas are little light-green beans from Asturias in the north of Spain, highly recommended if you ever see them in a restaurant or in the shops)

Will be catching up later on SpursPlay too.

Going to a bbq with some ropey ex work colleagues. Iceland burgers and hotdogs and a crate of Special Brew I expect.

Enjoy!

if this is the sort of formation we will be playing this season, don't see why we are selling PEH,
yes only have domestic matches but Biss will be doing a lot of work there

PEH is more of a no 8 than a 6 in this formation imo and I don’t think he can move the ball quickly enough for AP.
Skipp will be Bissouma’s understudy in the 6 position imo

So your hoping for a tripple back door smackdown?
 
That actually annoys me to be fair, we need Richarlison getting chemistry with Kulu and Son. Don’t even care if Kane stays or goes, he shouldn’t be starting
