Along with the Rose debut goal vs woolwich probably my favourite ever spurs goal

Thanks for sharing. Just watched the highlights for the first time in years - what a game!

Rose’s pips it for me for context after the pompey semi a couple of days before. I was back of the PL next to the away fans and it went mental! Must say I miss the vibe that bring next to the away fans brought. The banter was part of the fun.

Oh come on, he made so many changes it was almost a legends team.
I'm talking putting in a £50M player for Kulu - resting Biss for PEH, who was excellent on monday and giving the wunderkind a start, by moving Sonny to a slot he's played hundreds of times
Not giving the Women's team a run out

Wow, so you want to move Sonny who is on fire as a striker, who scored 7 of the last 9 games to the left so we can start a youngster against Palace?

Why doesn't he just start on the left for Richie? What you are saying makes no sense.

so - you would rather put Son on the left and Richie in the CF slot?

Richie who couldn't hit The houses of parliament with a snipers rifle from Big ben at the moment?

My suggestion is finding a CF alternative to Richie, by moving Son into his tried and trusted position
to see if the boy has actually got the talent that everything seems to indicate he has - and will translate to a Pl game, against a side missing its best central defender and doing next to fuck all so far in the league.

I'm not suggesting that we play minions and ewoks in all of the other positions in the team, just the best players that we have at our disposal who have been instrumental in keeping us unbeaten thus far.

worst case scenario is that Veliz is another Soldado

so - just like Richie then?

and we won with him playing on Monday.

:sonlol: Son will start at 9 no matter what barring injury.

You have no clue what you are talking about... stop it.
You are embarrassing yourself.

Son is done as a LW at this level unless we literally have no other option and we have a good CF to fill his place. Seems unlikely
 
Anybody else living from fixture to fixture. As soon as as Fulham has been processed you move onto dreaming the week away to the next game. If we beat Palace it will be amazing them it's on to Chelsea. I not sure i could handle a genuine title charge come April.

It’s fucking draining mate. Loving it but I don’t think have been able to work the day after any match this season.

win the league and I’ll have to retire. Again
 
Evening you crazy kids! (or should that be Yids?)
First time poster here who's managed to bag a couple of tickets for me and the boy. Fair to say we're both absolutely buzzing!!
I think the last time I saw spurs away was at Loftus road... on the plastic pitch 😮👴
A bit o' googlin suggests Thornton Heath is the best destination for away fans and the Prince George is probably favourite for a bit of pre match refreshment.
Was wondering if any veterans of this jaunt into bandit country would concur with this or if anyone has any better suggestions then we're all ears
COYFS! 😁🐓

No
You are - you daft bugger.

I SAID FROM THE OUTSET
It will not happen

But I want to see the boy get a shot at showing what he's got.

But Ange doesn't do requests....

The only one of us who doesn't know what he's talking about - or what the other person is talking about...
Is you!

Fuck me sideways!

Anyone else get the feeling this will be the biggest test of the season ? Proper Old School football stadium, Friday night , under the lights , the place will be absolutely rocking - does it work in our favour though as surely Palace wont be able to just sit back and park the bus?

Me too. Biggest game so far. These are the games the big boys don’t slip up at. I have every faith in the lads to get the job done. Any kind of win will do.

He was crap all last season at LW and one of our weakest players the first 3 games this season until the move to CF. It’s not like he’s magically regained form; he’s now just playing a position he’s more suited for at age 31. He’s got enough pace to beat CBs but not outside backs and he’s one of the best finishers in the world and gets more shots from CF.

There’s no reason to move him to a position he’s much weaker at.

Disagree all you want.
