But I just can't see us winning. The history and step is too big for us...I can just see it all going wrong on the big stage as per usual.

I dunno how any spurs fan who'd been through all the set backs over the years can be confident. It just always goes wrong.

UEFA Cup - Won 2, lost 1

I wouldn't play Sarr with a knock or not with Bent and Biss in there as well tbh. Leave some legs on the bench and try something different ahead of the other two.
Son must be starting - I am not sure thats a good decision either tbph. Hes been totally shit and not played in weeks. Again good sub to come on if its a tight game later on. Would start Richy there for some physicality myself.
We will have zero on the bench if not these two.

Why are so many people on Twitter pretending Bergvall is available all week. He literally only came out of the boot this week and hasn't trained but I keep reading nonsense rumours that he's actually available and training in secret.

Ange wouldn't know the dark arts if it hit in him the head. No chance that is the case. He is out. Get on with it. Sarr is fine and he'll start.

Irrelevant pricks taking a punt so people think they're ITK if it turns out he is available. They won't backtrack either, they'll just say he was close but didn't quite make it. Don't know why people post stuff from those accounts. None of 'tottenham talk', 'thesource', 'Krrish', 'Rudolph Pat Bateman', 'Bergvallisking', 'Chef Sarrpreme' have any credibility and yet people post stuff from them as if it's genuine information :ange-facepalm:

Although there's a few nerves when I think about tomorrow night, I do think we'll win also. Man united's biggest issue is they dont/can't score goals. we've played them 3 times and it's 8:3 on agg to us. and those 3 goals were Frazier Forster gifts.
They have scored 42 goals in the league, Outside of the relegation garbage only Everton are worse for goals, and that's mostly down to having Dyche for half the season.

They've gotten progressively more negative under Amorim . They played their strongest team against Chelsea and managed 1 shot on target in over 90 minutes.
We could win tomorrow with just 1 goal imo. as long as that back 5 plays how it can/how it has in the last 4 europa games

In EL semi they notched 7 goals
This ain't a PL game
Sorry to piss on your chips
On a positive note they are piss poor defensively as we are
But fuck it, he who dares wins
Hopefully

Obviously they don’t but it’s all good fun
 
Think he'll drop Solanke into the ten. Could work, him and Richy could link well and give United a lot of problems.

They're both pressing machines as well.

Think the team will be:

Vicario

Porro
Romero
VDV
Udogie

Bissouma
Bentancur
Solanke

Johnson
Richarlison
Son
 
I can't help feeling that I've seen this movie before and I know how it ends. Can someone help me out and try and convince me that we can actually win this? I just look at our club and see a bang average side lead by a bang average manager.

We’ve beaten our opponents 3 times already this season, convincingly every time apart from sone Forster brain farts

They struggle to score goals, our weakness is conceding goals

We have big game players at the back that have played in finals and won league trophies

If we turn up on our day we can score goals and their defence is plastered together

nah not reading anything into that game against Athletic. they went 10 man down unfairly early on.

then in the 2nd leg bibao had to chase united without the williams brothers, and united didnt open them up until after 70 mins with 2 terrible goals in regards to bilbao defensively.

anyway they're playing a prem club who has beaten them 3 times with ease already. they dont have anything we dont know about

I think you’re right, Richarlison will start.

I’d be encouraging solanke to shoot from distance too
 
I am nervous, I think this will be a nervous game. I’m expecting it to be very cagey with neither team feeling confident enough to slap their balls on the table.

My prediction is 1-1 with both goals scored in the first half, it will go all the way to pens with no further goals scored and Spurs will eventually win it in a tense but ultimately glorious penalty shootout. If that does materialize I can only apologize to everyone 😂.

On another note I’m currently devouring every piece of Spurs media available - Fighting Cock Podcast of course (sans Ricky), View From the Lane, the boys at Tottenham Hotspur TV, and whatever else pops up on my feed.

I can’t wait for the match but holy shit am I bricking it.
