If you are a true and die hard Spurs fan, which I am sure you are, you won't follow anyone else.

But agree on the strain of it all. Too much.

Today, these are two teams who are in a trough.

Being honest I would take a draw, because losing just places unbearable pressure on next week, where you know our fanbase will believe we have too much for Ipswich.....

A story this season that has had only one inevitable outcome.

You are probably right. The closest i could get is probably to take a break.
 
1-1 or 2-2 written all over it.

Would mean we got 28 pts after 25 games...so out of a possible 75. Yep, 28 pts out of 75 (equating to 37%)...and the Uber Fat One is still in the job.

Not sure that’s strictly true.
I am a die hard fan who supports Spurs, they’re my one true love in football teams, but I also follow Bishops Stortford. I don’t support them in the same way that I do spurs, but as my local team I can get to games easily if I can’t make it to spurs, and I think it’s important to support grassroots and non-league football.
Following another team doesn’t negate my support for spurs or make me a fair weather fan (in my opinion) and I think more football fans should make the effort to support their local teams.

That's fair mate. I guess I meant another club who we might be expected to compete against in the PL.

Mind you, give it 10 years of this tripe and you might be forced to choose!!!
 
Assuming availability;

Vicario
Spence-Danso-Gray (Davies)-Udogie
Bergvall-Maddison-Sarr
Moore-Tel-Son
​
Kinsky has been fine for the most part but those blunders might start getting in his head soon. Udogie starts right off the bat since Porro has been quite poor recently. Bergvall and Sarr should be able to press the hell out of their 2 man midfield featuring old and slow players such as Casemiro and Fernandes, while Maddison being the main source of creativity without getting bogged down in 50/50s too much. Kulusevski has been offering close to nothing for some time so Moore replaces him. Either Gray or Davies for LCB.

After Leicester I'm convinced that this team can lose any match under any circumstances in this league, but this should still be a straightforward win against this hopeless bunch.
 
Woken up, no hangover, feeling fresh and full of contentment. About to have a lovely breakfast, life is good.

Then I remember we play united today

No. Im not. I've been a spurs fan since 85.

Edit. And its most possibly an empty threat, to my self. But if I was going to change it wouldn't be to a flavour of the month team. Or an Arab owned one or Chelsea or Liverpool or Woolwich. I can't even think of another team that's remotely interesting to follow.

Maybe follow the under 23s or the woman’s team ?

A week between games stops us from getting a rhythm.

Yeah, I'm not entirely sure having a week between games helps us. It may do in terms of rest and recovery, but as you say it may stop us getting any rhythm.

Having said that though our last two games were shocking with players mostly standing around like garden gnomes so maybe now they’ve had some rest they’ll have some energy to actually run around and press for the ball.
 
If everyone is fit who is supposed to be fit, i think he will go with

Vicario
Porro-Danso-Gray-Udogie/Davies?
Bentancur-Sarr/Bissouma?-Bergvall
Kulu-Tel-Son

He really doesnt seem to like Maddison for some reason but this would be the perfect game for him

Hmmmmm...

I was providing an ironic excuse to be trotted out at 18:45.

I am past expectation, and nearing the bottom of the bowl of hope, so we shall see.

It really is a waste of time playing Moore on the right. I'd start him over Son on the left as Son has been woeful for weeks.

Maybe Bergvall starts at #6 instead of Gray. Ange probably picks Bentancur though..
