Tottenham Hotspur v Newcastle United

[Wikipedia Brown]

I bet the teamsheet will look an awful lot like what Poch wants the teamsheet to look like. Idunno, I just have this hunch you know.

Maybe Poch will log onto the forums this morning and take the advice he sees here though

If he did that he'd be starting Leandro Damiao up front

No. We couldn't agree a fee with his club who we held a "working relationship" with! Pretty sure the THFC working relationship agreement clause 2.3.a reads "do nothing for us" and 2.4 is "help our rival". Internacional the lazy buggers only met 1 of the clauses!

I wouldn't say there are that many unsold - all of nine in the whole of the Park Lane, about 500 in the Paxton, maybe 40 in the West and about 100 in the East? All in the corners too. I wouldn't say we've done too bad if 35,000 turn up for a Wednesday night league cup game in mid-December when everyone's broke. I'd like us to be selling out these games but it's not always going to happen.

Meanwhile Newcastle have sold 4200 away tickets for this despite the fact that the last train back to Newcastle leaves Kings Cross at 10:00 (i.e. not possible). Granted, quite a few of those may be 'ex-pat' Geordies living down south, but still... puts us to shame a bit, especially when tickets are only £25.

[formation=4231, Vorm, Naughton, Dier, Chiriches, Rose, Stambouli, Bentaleb, Lennon, Dembele, Chadli, Soldado][/formation]
Give Eriksen, HurriKane, Mason & the back four a rest

I think the back four have had enough of a rest, if Fazio and Vertonghen were anymore asleep at the weekend they'd be fucking comatosed!

 

[Aussie Ardiles]

how good is it hearing the chubby cheeked man say "this is big game" ochlol:

 

[Dannyboy]

Lloris

Rose
Kaboul
Dier
Naughton (I suppose)

Stambouli
Capoue

Townsend
Paulinho
Lennon

Soldado

Injuries permitting…This isn't my chosen line-up, it's how I think we'll line up.

Couldn't agree more - we should try to win EVERY cup competition we're in, I want us to win trophies not just qualify for the Champions League - something we're never going to win in a million years. It really pisses me off that everything comes down to just qualifying for the CL, at the expense of competing in cup competitions which we have much more of a chance of actually winning!

Brilliant post, this chasing the rainbow of the CL gold rather than actual silverware pisses me off big-time. I want us to win something and this cup is eminently winnable. Beat Toon and who knows we might be favourites by the time the final comes around.

Great news that Naughton is available again. I suspect that Walker will need to be rested for this game, and Kyle is our second best RB and I'd have no worries if he plays.

Mumble mumble their cup final mumble

[LeeMcl]

Naughton, Kaboul, Dier & Rose

Nothing to worry about there if they get picked. :kaboullol:

Is Dos Santos or Jonathan Blondel fit ?

I couldn't even recreate that by reading it phonetically. Are Geordies that hard to understand?

 

[S-11]

Don't want to see the likes of Paulinho and Kaboul going through the motions in this. This really is a big game.
Naughton in for Walker and Stambouli in for Mason are about the only changes I'd make.
Possibly start Chadli over Lamela. Or both and Push Kane up top benching Soldado.

Spoiler: If you get mad that there are Americans that watch this team, this isn't for you.

Bullshit that beIN Sports is not playing our match live and instead is showing Bournemouth vs Liverpool, which is obviously the less exciting of the two matches. So now I either get to watch a replay at 4:00 PM and try to stay off the internet for a few hours, or watch a shit stream and just rewatch the match when it's on TV. I know this sounds like a pretty petty thing to bitch about, but I took the afternoon off work for this!

 

[Danoir]

Kane with all eight.

5 of them own goals as interim keeper :lloris:

No, that's cool Benjy. I've got to drag my sorry arse over to the ground for the same reason. Modern football eh?
