I'm buzzing for this season to start. I love our new signings. Ange is being backed and he's being bold.

If you're not buzzing at the start of a new season there's really not much point is there?
love that kit
I just feel really excited with Spurs this season. A 2nd season under Ange means we would have adapted more to his style. Extremely talented young players integrated into the 1st team like Bergvall, Gray, Odobert. Our very own Mikey Moore and also Lankshere coming into the squad and looking quality pre season. Then we have a proper striker now in Solanke. Hopefully more business to do, but right now i’m really excited about Spurs
We still cant defend and conceded alot of goals. Until we stop that we wont do anything.
The high line is suicidal without VDV in the team. Maybe Solanke can fix things at the other end.

Genuinely think that whoever gets picked is going to administer a chastening to this lot.
Assuming the first XI looks something like this, who doesn't make the squad?
Austin
Dragusin
Gray
Spence
Bergvall
Moore
Johnson
Werner
Richy
Not included:
Devine
Lankshear
Odobert
Forster
Whiteman
Davies
Phillips
Reg
Gio
Solomon
Skipp
Biss (suspended)
Italics to be sold or loaned before the window closes
The squad is becoming pretty streamlined with good depth. Once we flog the remaining dross it will only be 3rd choice keeper, Davies and 3 of 4 talented youngsters (Moore, Devine, Lankshear, Odobert) that don't make PL squads.
Not sure whether Ange goes for Moore or Odobert for the bench initially. Flashy new signing vs academy starboy. Tough to call.
Vic
Porro - Romero - VDV - Udogie
Bentancur
Sarr - Maddison
Kulu - Solanke - Son

Why not both? We have firepower now
People expecting a beating are being way too optimistic. Leicester have a different manager and had a rough preseason but they’re still a real PL side. That stadium has been a tough place to go for awhile and it’s a night game, home opener they’ll be well up for it. They won’t just roll over.
Hermansen can stand on his head, and Fatawu and Mavididi are really good. Both pacey outlets on the break, and you know we will give them space. Vestergaard is also a giant and great in the air, he’ll be a problem on set pieces, which are also a huge weakness of ours. Every single match we play we are at risk of conceding if the opponent is efficient with their counter attacks and set pieces, unfortunately.

They are a PL side sure, but one that will be hard pressed to fight relegation. I expect us to beat them handily, maybe not demolish them, but by 2 goals at least. There's nothing wrong with having high expectations for your team, it's up to them to live up to them.
Thinking about a nice wager on the O/U for this game. Over is set at 3.0 at +105.
Suspect we get at least 3 and a decent chance we let in at least 1.
Gonna wait for the lineups just in case.

Avoid Spurs games mate. You might have another heart attack. Get well soon.I'm gonna miss my first game in don't know how long.
Had a heart attack earlier today and not long out o of surgery. Stuck here till about Wednesday they said.
I'll be on here so I can follow the game so need some good commentary from you guys
Physical scrap with who? Our ladies team?
They’re fucking shit, Winks is their best player and he can’t punch his way out of a paper bag. We should bury them easily. I think they’ll do well to stay up.
They seemed in a rush to get Odobert in before the deadline, so I guess they will want him on the bench. Think Mikey or Werner will miss out. Be a nice sign if Ange has Mikey in front of Werner already.
Trying to determine which legit, good premier league player to leave out of the squad compared to how threadbare the bench was last year.
Not where we want yet, but big step forward.

what he got new hair cut?
Good point!
Our depth is much deeper this season.
Even better if we can get another starting player into the team this window.
