I've heard he wants to start hybrid working
Excellent. I do hope Richy plays.
I have been wondering for quite a while how injured these players actually have been over the last two years. I think some really just don’t fancy it.
Some are definitely taking the piss.
And then blag another contract to stay here? No thanks.
I’d prefer he never plays for us again, this guy has been a complete waste of space.
Well, yeah.
The owners need to sell up and fuck off
Cardboard??? wow I'm old but not that old JUMPERS FOR GOALPOSTS M8
Marvellous
Sore throat?
As ever in these big games just don't gift them anything.
No red cards, no fuck ups playing it round the back. Just keep it simple and stay solid in the first half.
The longer it stays 0-0 the more nervous and desperate the scum will get and the more support the home fans will give.
New manager bounce, scum faltering and a chance to derail their title bid, home game under the lights.
If the players can't get up for this and put a shift in they may as well find another sport.
With Porro not fit I imagine we see Gray at RWB.
Gallagher and Sarr for energy up and down. We can't play through the Woolwich press so just go direct and out run them.
The rest picks itself.

Tudor mentioned only 13 senior players trained. Palhinha - Dragusin - VDV
Gray - Gallagher - Sarr - Spence
Xavi
Muani - Solanke

It's funny, because I was talking to a mate in the pub about the injury situation at Spurs, and wondered if the sicknotes get full pay for the duration. If long-term sick I get 13 weeks full pay, then my wages are reduced incrementally, depending on the circumstances of my absence. Mind you the culture around elite football is light years away from the every day reality that most of us experience.
I believe it’s full pay, injury is an accepted risk of the profession.
That's an interesting point but I think these guys are not on PAYE and have a self employed contract.
Yeah, that's what I thought in all honesty. Elite sportsmen get elite contracts and Ts & Cs.
We have to prevent them from "winning" corners, as they will blatantly bully the fuck out of Vic, and get away with it.
I dunno.
I'd rather a fast start and we go ahead early.
Longer it stays level the more they will push and it'll be a set piece for them that worries me. As much as I'm up for this game and I think we can compete outfield. I just don't fancy Vicario on crosses. He just flaps around too much for me.
Selection is going to be interesting, I don't know much about Tudor.
Is he wedded to his wingback system?
For so long we wanted managers to have tactical flexibility. We thought Frank would bring that but he was too scared of his own shadow.
If Tudor likes wingbacks then I'd favour Souza. The natural left footer providing width is so important in a wingback system. I just don't think he'll cope against Saka or Madueke. He got skinned a few times by Amad when he came on against United. If VDV is there to cover then it might be OK but I think Tudor will go for Spence. It'll just nullify any threat coming from our left side.
