Match Tottenham Hotspur vs Woolwich Sunday 22nd Feb 16:30

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I can’t go unfortunately or fortunately depending on the result .
Whatever happens we better not raise the white flag before kick off . Fire them up Igor , we might ultimately lose but I want it to feel like a war out there at the very least . Hopefully the crowd can make the atmosphere similar to when we stuffed them under Conte . Players must play their part though , if we are 2 nil down after 20 mins without throwing a punch they can’t be surprised if the crowd get drained of energy . If it’s nil nil after twenty but we have been on the front foot it should be rocking .

COYS
 
Just a bit of effort and urgency for the entire game will be a massive improvement no matter what the score line.
Plus gives Igor a look at those who have checked out.

Regardless could do with wolves cheesing a draw tonight and them tearing a few glutes

That game tonight is further evidence Woolwich are the PL's little darlings and that the powers that be are desperate for them to win the title.
 
I'd really like to see our strikers in the striker position rather than lumbering around pretending to be a serviceable winger, so for that reason I'm hoping for a 3412.

Will allow Xavi to spend most of his time in the middle where he can be more dangerous, and will mean we don't have one bloke up top on his own completely isolated, plus more chance that RKM can bag his first league goal if he's playing right up top and central, and I cannot wait to hear the ironic cheers for that!
I would hope there'd be none of that now.

New start means new slates for everyone...apart from the boardroom.

Get everyone united in the stadium and hopefully better times ahead.
 
He's 100% playing RKM - he was his golden boy at Juve and he desperately wanted them to sign him last summer.

Would be amazed if he's not in the side.

Maybe he switches things up a bit cos it's Woolwich but over the remainder of the season would be very surprised if the first choice front 3 isn't RKM, Solanke and Xavi. Question is simply does he set up in a 3-4-2-1 or a 3-4-1-2.

He played him as a striker I think. I’m not sure he’s dropping Solanke for RKM

It is a little weird I thought, is there an official reason why they've got a random midweek prem game against the worst team in the league and no one else has?

On one hand it gives them a chance to make it a 7 point lead. Both arse and wolves are in fa cup still. If it's because of league cup then city should have a game tonight also

But I guess on the other gives us more rest for Sunday over them

It's because City and Woolwich are in the League Cup final and can't play their PL fixtures that weekend. This was a spare midweek for both teams so Woolwich fixture has been brought forward to this date. So why are City not playing... that is because their corresponding fixture was Palace and Palace are playing on Thursday in Europa Conference playoff or whatever it's called. City might end up having a fixture pile up towards the end of the season. Yet another advantage handed to Woolwich.

The league would rather they won over city for sure. They've got away with murder this season from refs but it is what it is.

It's clearly done to give them yet another advantage and put massive pressure on City, who host Newcastle on Sat.

Really hope Wolves somehow, miraculously get the win cause if the Goons go 7pts clear at the top, I think it's game over, especially as I don't think City will pick up more than a draw vs the geordies.

Come on Wolves, do something worthwhile before going down. Imagine if the Arse get eff all out of this week, that'd be epic. Even the one solitary point in a week where they play Wolves & us would be mint.

Fuck them.
