Following on from Wednesday’s barnstorming FA Cup classic with Everton, Tottenham Hotspur will be holding some small hope of getting back to winning ways on Saturday as we make the trip up to in form table toppers, Manchester City.
Having played so often on a Sunday this season, many fans will be questioning why we didn’t at least get an extra 24 hours off this time, as with extra time on top, it was hardly the best preparation for this one, but we’ll just have to get on with it.
Pep Guardiola has a few injury concerns of his own, with the main one for us being Gareth Bale again but whether we get a slice of luck with either Sergio Reguilon or Serge Aurier and an earlier than expected return for them, well, manager Jose Mourinho’s press conference today will answer those questions.
Despite our 2-0 victory back at the end of November, City are a changed side now, so I imagine I’m not alone in hoping we at least take a point here.
feckity feck
Geof,
I’m in New York City right now. I split my time for the most part between NYC and the northeast of Brazil. I grew up in much of my childhood in the East End of London near to Essex. I wish we could find a way to hit a pub together and remember the bad old days.
most of my mates back then were wet spammers, but Spurs were the club that played beautifully. that’s what started the love affair for me. a life-long love affair with the most beautiful club in the world. I learned that the upper crusties thought polo was the sport, be we have the Hot Spurs! They ride plodding ponies.
I’ve had enough now get him the players he needs to do the job, the problem isn’t jose he only has half a squad thats good enough
Adsw14, we need several new players and a NEW MANAGER who is committed to playing football, not committed to shaming the players he has.
Once again one of our players are handing out gifts. It’s a joke.
The game plan is working perfectly …. my 1- 6 prediction is well on track!
I think we all need to acknowledge that City are a VERY GOOD team. They are a better team than Tottenham and they are at home. We have defended pretty well so far …. only behind due to a penalty. Lamela needs to be taken off to avoid a second penalty, in my opinion.
is it time to find someone else as GK?
that second goal was a weak effort
Lamela seems to have a lot of anger in his play today. you’re right that he’s flirting with a card.
I came out from behind the sofa to check the score – not as bad as I feared.
I’ll look again in 20 minutes.
feck it’s delli ali. wow it must be a chinese new year gift. or carnival.
there’s the predicted card for Lamela
three. ouch. depressing match.
this could end up 6 against they way its gone since the interval. I’m sorry i’ve got a functioning cable right now
Just as we all expected it to go
Well no bus parking but no defending either
When does the season end by the way
except for the three seconds Bale flashed, it was a depressing match for me.
Bale still has some magic in his boots
