Are you driving???
As I'm going to this, and I've never started a match thread, thought I'd give it a go.
The FA Cup is still a lovely trophy to win, no matter how some people try to belittle it.
So Antonio, I don't care who plays, just win it in normal time, as it would be nice to be home by 2am.
Great opening bat, Mrs P.
Gosh, makes me realise why I ❤ Spurs so much
You HAD to say it.....!Conte hasn't lost a domestic cup match to a lower division opponent since 2009.
Absolutely...
Middlesborough have a very good home record
Between injuries and our own fuck ups; I'd say it's more us being our own kryptonite when we've faced them this season.
We need to treat this game very seriously
I do think they're the big side we will struggle with most regardless though. Tuchel's setup provides very little space for the opposition to play in, he's happy to be pragmatic, it's why they've been very successful in cup competitions but struggled a bit in the league. City and Liverpool are better sides but both allow you more space.
Pretty suffocating midfield 3, especially when Kante's fit, and Rudiger/T.Silva are very good at not giving Kane any time to work his passing range.
You might be right; just not really had the chance to find out......
Did well in the first half atm home in the league but even then Nuno fucked it by failing to react to TTs changes.
I'd forgotten about that game. The only time under Nuno we really came out and played genuinely engaging football, and we ended up screwing it up with shit defending at a set piece. I honestly came away from that game a little bit more optimistic about Nuno before we immediately reverted to nothing ball.
0-3 Spurs.
Kane, Son, Decky

Winks to score in honour of the departed ArcspacE
Anty will be pleased with that outcome.
Has he gone for good?
Fantastic news.
According to Admin he has.
No messing about with that lineup!
We can afford to play our best XI as we don't play in the league until Monday. We've seen so many times that as soon as you start to take one or two players out the team becomes beatable by absolutely any level of opponent. Glad to see that Conte has given up on Gollini too, if we want to win then Lloris needs to play.
