No Spurs fan I have spoken to has any optimism tonight whatsoever. None.

Made me ponder. If a League One team goes to Chelsea in the cup. Do they have the same mentality as we fans ( and quite possibly our players ) do ? Shrugging it off, using terms like “dead rubber” accepting defeat before we even start.

How did it ever get this bad ? Whatever we are, our mentality is not that of a winning club. There is no jeopardy, no risk that is faced down. Just apathy. And yet the owners cannot see this. Incredible really isn’t it ?

The owners do see it. They just don’t give a fuck. The Staduims full that’s all they care about

Chelsea have been wank for a while and Palmer has been out of form for the first time since his move. They just might be more shit than us that we actually win.

They were beating us when they were way shitter than they are now!!

They beat us when they were much better than us...

Something about playing them we seem to mentally combust and some of the most bizarre events transpire whether against us or self inflicted. Even at our place vs them bizarre - Gazzanigga karate kick for example, that stuff should be in X files

I was thinking, at odds of 7/2, if I put £10 on Spurs, it's likely to give me back £0 ;)

Kulu aside, that's pretty much as strong as we get!
COYS!

Do we reckon the VDV injury will come before or after the Romero red?

DURING.... I reckon Romero will go in dangerously studs high on VDV trying to clear the same ball... And follow through down his calf for good measure!

Can you actually get a red for taking our your OWN teammate....? 🤔 I bet we get to find out first tonight!
 
Bravo you fucking Aussie pig.

40 minutes to kick off and I'm more worried about how much to put on us losing by what margin on *'PaddyPower' rather than my own team drawing or winning.

*Since we are all here, shout out to Rhodri Giggs and the loyalty advert that could pulled by Manchester United after it exposed their pussyhole wannabe be golden boy Ryan...

Why has he dropped Porro and left in Udogie? Would much rather have Spence on the left and Porro on the right

Cos going FULL strength just wouldn't be fair on poor Chelsea...
Gotta give them at least a FIGHTING CHANCE tonight!!

Personally, I think Porro + hopefully Kulu (for Odobert) will be the only changes to this team that start next Thursday against Frankfurt...

Otherwise, THIS IS OUR STRONGEST team available...
We GOT NO EXCUSES from now on.
