Some people like to spoil a good joke
Mark Pougatch is hosting so one less fucking gooner at least.With Laura Woods, Lee Dixon, Ian Wright and Karen Bardsley again?
See my previous reply to Baz.......
Actually foaming at the mouth to see a Madders, Deki, Bentancur midfield on Friday. Hope that's what Ange goes with (provided Madders is fit).
I think Madders will be on the bench and be brought on at 60'Well if it is not mouthwatering, but you are foaming, I would check a doctor. Could be rabies.
But considering our options, we are light both on the forward-line and midfield fronts. With Son, Solomon, Veliz, GLC, Bissouma and Sarr all missing.
I can't see how we could use Deki as no 8, he has to start on RW. Alternative is play with 10 men and have Johnson who is currently not tracking back nor is he involved in attacking play nor is he a goal threat. He needs some time to sort his head up and could use some time on the bench.
I think with current limitations, we have to start with Werner, Richie and Kulu upfront; with midfield of Madders, PEH and Benta.
I am no fan of PEH but I think from current options I prefer to see him in midfield to seeing Johnson on the wing.
Jason Cundy and Darren Bent to provide balance so that's OK thenWith Laura Woods, Lee Dixon, Ian Wright and Karen Bardsley again?
He left VdV on the bench after he'd just come back from a long lay off. I think he'd only had a few sessions with the team (Burnley game)If he’s fit he will start. Ange doesn’t fuck about. If they are fit enough to train then they’ll play as we’ve seen with Romero,VDV and Bentancur.
You mean like Benta was eased in against Villa from the bench, even though no one knew he was even fit?
Or how VdV and Romero famously came in for last 30 minutes against ManU?
So that is also how it's gonna go with Madders; there were early rumors of him even considered against ManU, and he has had extra time to recover now.
He starts against ManCity, I'm pretty sure of this.
Quality weekend that was

Tweet is re Maddison - No certainty.
Ange will update at press conference on Thursday
Well, to me it does not give any new information.
As I pointed out, Bentancur returning came totally out of the blue. And Romero for ManU was also anything but certain thing.
So I still have a belief Madders will start the game on Fri. And let's face it, with so many absentees, we do need him!
The only piece of new information is that his training includes medical reviews - I thought he was all but back 2 weeks ago.
Pretty much all Spurs fans will be hoping he's back - this suggests its not a 100% given. Unfortunately.
He'll either be on the bench, or playing, or not in the squad.

On the one hand I have, but on the other I have not.
