Match Spurs v Brighton (Away) - Sat 20th September - KO: 3pm

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

When you were a kid you never punched your mates in the arm until it went numb?

It’s like that with a leg and usually needed to use a knee to give someone a dead leg.

Still remember one mate stabbing me in the arm 5 times with a compass then giving me a dead arm. Blood coming through my school shirt, instant attention from girls I almost thanked him for it. Still tripped him up on the walk home from school.

Life used to be much simpler
Could you have played a game of football 24 hours later?
 

Generally reliable.

Otherwise, FawaNews

Think if we can get a win today it would be the biggest statement under Frank yet.

City was great, of course, but we have a weird hold over them, it was second day of the season and they were far from their best.

This is a place where we don’t have a great record, and the sort of game we’d easily get turned over in recent years (see with Ange last season).

Would be satisfied with a draw but a win and another clean sheet and I’ll start getting seriously excited about what we could achieve this season. COYS
 
Really hope RKM is injured and not dropped due to attitude. And I hope its just a small injury!

We'll miss him today because Richarlison just looks totally off it atm

Depends on the impact. You could play on with a dead leg and sometimes it was days before you could train again. I got one years ago playing against someone who is my best mate and he landed on the outside of my thigh with his knee. It was pure agony and played on till the end of the game. I couldn’t train until the next Friday. Never had a deedy(what we called them up here) like that ever.

That’s not a dead leg

I had one once and couldn’t move the limb for days….
 
Remember everyone used to give each other dead legs at school
I remember getting the worst dead leg ever. The thigh bled so much that I actually got a large, bad bruise in the back of my lower leg, in the calf region and behind the knee, where the blood had seeped down to. I was crippled for days.
It was at school - I was going up the stairs and this kid ran full pelt around the corner at the top of the stairs and accidentally kneed me right in the thigh. The air was blue and so was my leg.
