I'd like to see Stevie step up. He's got tatts, he gets speeding tickets. Scored a beauty on his debut. He seems like the kind of guy who might be able to leave a nasty mark on the hive (of scum and villainy).
TN should be fairly fit. We might see him start (all this bollocks about blowing out his arse was said about Kane, too - he's no engine, but he can do an hour). Hard to imagine we're going to see Lucas start, so Lamela has to be on. Having said that, Jose did say he was fresh from the training ground.
Tanganga was obviously rested for this game, so we should have some steel and pace at the back.
Also, Kante is out. He's their metronome. Think we can boss it better without him absent. I reckon the goals will start after the hour and it's anyone's guess what the final score is. 2-0 Spurs is my shout.

Usually quite positive about Spurs, but just canāt get my hopes up for this one.
Chelsea arenāt all that, but weāre flapping at the moment. My prediction is 2-0. Please for the love of God donāt start Winks, as heāll just get steamrolled.

Heās not the worst. (I know thatās not saying a lot).
I really wanted to wake up about 11, have a leisurely breakfast, then stroll down to the pub. Instead Iām up at 6 and completely wired on strong coffee. Fucking football.
We never seem to take these opportunities when they present themselves - please, for once, can we make this one count.

At least you slept.
Anyone else awake because they suffer with severe insomnia or just a really fucked up circadian rhythm? I'm in the latter camp: some bastard variant of "non 24" and irregular sleep-wake (literally 24 hours sleep one day and 4 the next, which is where being an unaffiliated academic is a lifesaver for me).
Sucks so much being a football fan :mourbringit: ; I'll smoke a wee joint now and set me alarm 90 mins before kick-off (proper breakfast + some beer before the match actually starts).
Donāt, whatever you do, revoke your neutrality. Youāll never sleep again.At least you slept.

Confession: I'm a bit of a forum slut. I'm also on
Kane's my all-time favourite player so I naturally gravitate towards Spurs fans online. I really like the community around the club. I joined the other board first because I had this idea that TFC was the battle royale cunt-off of Spurs forums, but I've been treated exceptionally well on both and the vast majority of users are great lads. Can't say the same about /r/coys, but I have a massive bias against Reddit in favour of traditional forums tbf.
What's the prediction for today, mate?
Head 1-1. Heart 1-2.

I suffer from non-24, my days are pretty much 25 hours so my time of sleep gets pushed back gradually and gradually until I end up sleeping all day and eventually it goes full circle. Fucking hate it.
Big ask...... In his 3rd game for us.
He has 32 goals in 152 senior appearances...... Not the worst stat but hardly prolific..... If anything he's more likely to provide the assists.
Mind you that's double the goals Lamela has in roughly same amount of games.
I'm thinking it has to be Dele front and centre.
