Match Nottingham Forest vs Tottenham Hotspur Boxing Day 26th December 15:00

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Their home form actually isn’t great. Not a team who will get on top and dominate so maybe an opportunity here.

Lost to Newcastle, Fulham etc and have had a few draws at home. Their away form is more impressive.

Did beat Villa at home recently though & in general in good form.

Ideally I’d wantJohnson and Spence on the same side against Forest but also Kulusevski won us the game at the City ground last year and moving him from the RW free role where he has 5/5 would be mental imo.

Son needs a rest and tbh as rough as Johnson can be on the LW, he does play well with Maddison.

Bergvall deserves the start and we know that Yates is going to kick the shit out of anyone we play play in MF. If we have an 18 year old in there, the ref might actually book him and Bergvall actually has more about him than meets the eye. Looks like Mr Blonde innocent but he’s a big kid and has a bit of malice about him when he needs it.

Forest's home form makes no difference. They are unquestionably a decent side,who will have too much for us..... most probably. Certainly at this time.

Postecgou genuinely doesn't sound like a manager who is going anywhere and I think he will get players in January.

He is doing or being something Levy likes or Levy is close to selling the club.

I’m 43. In my lifetime we were the club with the most FA Cup wins in the history of English football and one of Englands most successful clubs in European history.

Then the Premier League happened and we’ve been a joke ever since.

Merry Christmas

Those first fifteen seasons of the Premier League were horrendous for us, scratching around mid table, just making up the numbers.

The last fifteen seasons have been really consistent. Seven top 4s, four 5th placings, two 6ths, one 7th, one 8th.

I still think we can do some damage this season if we can get our best on the field.

Think you're right. Ange is his last throw of dice.
 
Thing is, if or when he does give Ange the boot, levy still ain’t going anywhere. He will just get someone else in, fuck that up and onwards it goes.
 
Closest thing we’ll get to a Saturday 3pm KO. Enjoy it.

By enjoy I mean…

Being called a big club has really messed us up. We think we deserve things.

Big clubs win things and when they are not winning they will spend serious coin buying top quality players to be in contention to win things.

Mid tier clubs hope to finish between 4th and 8th, hope to qualify for a European competition and hope to win a cup along the way. They spend money on younger players hoping to find a star.

We got money but we ain't no big club.

People’s reaction to bale and modric wanting to join Real Madrid was an indicator how people seriously overestimate our standing.

Madrid are a proper European giant. We really can’t be compared to them.
Yet levy has put us in a position where if an ESL happened tomorrow we would be mentioned.
