Meh. They're the the best team in the land. It's to be expected.

We were close to 3/1 to beat them at home last season and managed it though.

I’m a data nerd and bookies are uber data led. The data says we have a 1 in 4 chance of winning

Doesn't the data say they haven't scored a goal against us in Tottenham for close to 10 years?

Wild stat. Last time City scored a goal in Tottenham, Kane had 3 goals for England and just 24 league goals for Spurs. He's now top goalscorer for both club and country.

The data says that my chances of winning the Euromillions are 1 in 139 million, 838 thousand,160, but as you know full well, I'm going to win it tonight.

1 in 4 - pfahh - You should get in line for your Cup Final ticket now, to avoid disappointment.

That’s all in the past - I actually think such a shit record makes it even tougher for us as they will be hyper aware of it

Then I thought about going to Stevenage Vs Barnsley - postponed

This week is was going to go to Wealdstone Vs Southend (at home this time) - postponed

Yeah, he's generally very good.

What I want from a co-comms pundit is that they point out things in the game that I wouldn't have noticed otherwise. Not the Andy Townsend "If that had gone in it would have been a goal", not the "I'll just describe exactly what you've just seen" from Dion Dublin. Dixon does that very well, especially when he's talking about the defensive side of the game, better than Neville or Carragher I'd say, who can also be decent in this regard.

I've always found him to be reasonably fair to us, even when he gets egged on to be otherwise by the main commentator. He doesn't like us and I don't expect him to, but he tends to be quite amusing and self-effacing when he does so. A bit like Glenn when he's encouraged to be anti-Woolwich.

I reckon he'd be good company over a couple of beers. There are plenty worse.

That's really interesting - perception is a curious thing, isn't it? Whenever I listen to Dixon I can't get past his snidey, anti-Tottenham tone and content. Never, in my wildest dreams, could I see him as reasonably fair - he hates Spurs and he wears that hatred on his breast pocket, as a slimy little badge of honour. He appears to me to be almost up there with Neanderthal Man, for biased appraisal of The Mighty Spurs. If there's one of the three trying to be fair, it's Ian Wright. I see him as you see Dixon, the little weasel. As for Woods - words cannot express the depth of my loathing.

100% on all of that.

I think Dixon is quite insightful compared to basic buffoons like Townsend and Dublin but not when it comes to Spurs, he’s a snide little cunt

Amazing that Wright has matured into a decent fella, used to f’ing hate him as a player

We need them to hit the post and bar a few times early doors; get awarded and miss a couple of pens (cheers Vic); blow a succession of open goals, and then for good measure have a few atrocious VAR decisions which make the Dippers one look like a 50;50.

That'll mess with their heads a bit

On 89 mins 59 secs we get a scrappy winner (oggie ideally off Kyle's arse)

And then the board goes up - no added time, ref blows final whistle. Pep explodes, KDB bursts into tears. Haaland vandalises the stadium.

It is what it is mate.

Looking back does you no good at all mate. It's all about tonight's performance mate. Leave nothing on the pitch mate and give it 110% cobber. Have no regrets mate. Now get out there and give it all you've got

:ange-blow:

...mate.

Don't think it makes too much of a difference in all honesty. There is zero pressure on us tonight at all.

Sorry, but I cannot agree with that. Tonight's game is massive. A win will help to define the New Spurs under Ange. The players need to know that THIS is the game they need to turn up for. It's not just any old game. I've already got the severest of collywobbles.

The atmosphere tonight will be incredible.

I reckon something like this, Johnson to come on at some point to maintain the the threat of going in behind.

Maddison needs to start for me. We need a talisman out there.

not sure if Lo Celso is fit, if he is then I wouldn't be surprised if he starts ahead of Skipp and slots in next to Bentancur and plays a bit deeper.

we can win this, it's a shame Sonny isn't playing though as we need to be clinical.
