The result against Man United means everything for our season. 3 points and we're back on track, Woolwich can be almost forgotten. A draw and we're doing well, very likely to get at least 4th. A defeat and I'll start looking over our shoulders rather than what's ahead of us, this is the a MUST NOT LOSE. Any doubt that's starting to creep in needs to be smashed into the back of the United net. COME ON.
I'm going but have absolutely no idea what to expect from Spurs again. I think the Lane will be bang up for it and I hope this can carry us over the line.
Cheer up, we've got Sandro.
He'll be mighty angry and anxious to kick some ass after yesterday.

Man, Spurs remind me so much of my beloved Houston Texans it isn't even funny...especially the fan base. So similar it's scary.
With our injuries/suspensions/lack of depth, it mirrors the Texans this season pretty damn well. Need to adopt the "next man up" philosophy as well and the only difference will be the sports themselves.
I have faith that our beloved Spurs will come out foaming at the mouth for a victory to put the bullshit from yesterday behind them. We were beat, soundly, but that doesn't mean we need despair and prepare for the apocalypse. To continue to moan and groan about our misfortunes in the past against United is to admit defeat before the game is played. STAND UP AND COME ON YOU SPURS!

Was a big fan of Matt Schaub when he played at UVA. Absurdly good prototypical QB who's been held back by injuries.
Who's in goal?

This game is all about mentality. We have to put in a solid, workmanlike performance and simply not allow the lapses in concentration that gifted pretty much every goal on Sunday.
If that means a slightly less expansive XI I can live with that. Zero points (with the possibility the "gap" may only be four) is not an option.

i just can't be confident about Spurs v United, by far our worst fixture since the prem began, but we need to show a reaction to that shitshow last weekend and I'm sure we'll see one, but i'd def take a draw and move on to Everton away, another very tough game. Then things start to get a bit easier and we can start reeling off the wins again like we have throughout the season (hopefully). Just thinking about it there, this is keeping with our season so far, we haven't done well in any of the big matches have we? Tonked Liverpool and beat the scum at home at the start of the season and were a bit unlucky at City but apart from that? But we've been extremely consistent against the rest of the teams and we need to make sure we keep that up on our run in.
