This Man To Star V Swansea?

• Well let’s see the team selection – I was one for giving him a rest along with Dele Alli and playing similar midfield/forward line as against Rochdale. I guess if we go strong as possible it shows our intent to win this and no excuses at the end of the day. It is a Prem team we’re facing and I doubt national team’s will do us any favour’s in terms of resting our players so maybe given all this might aswell go as strong as possible – can’t wait, looking forward to watching it.

• We can win this and the cup, I hope we are up for it. Coys

• of course we should expect a good match from CE. Why is this a question? moTM? Worm, who will be brought on as an emergency striker after the dodgy lasanga hits our attacking players.

• I have no idea which starting eleven MP will select. But I do know that whoever they are, they will be good enough to blow the Swans out of the sea! If that doesn’t happen, it won’t be PM’s fault; that blame will be laid at the door of the players.

• Weather Forecast for Swansea today: Very cold and very windy.

  Perhaps it won’t be very conducive to particularly attractive football from either team. Well, we will just have to wait and see.

  I’ve just read a post on the VS forum from a supporter that says if Poch doesn’t play the “1st team” today, he can leave. I presume this to mean that he should leave Spurs. I’ve read similar stuff on VS and elsewhere… My answer to that? What if we win?

  I mention this because a) what is the 1st team exactly and b) would it really be fair to judge the man on just one match, anyway?

  We could of course win or lose, whatever the line-up is

  The ‘1st team’ will be the team that starts the match, simple. And personally, I have no idea who should play.

  Aurier or Trippier? Davies or Rose? Lloris or Vorm? Wanyama or Dier? Sissoko or Dembele? Lamela and/or Son or Lucas or Dele or Eriksen or, even Llorente?

  Whoever plays, I’ll be happy to see MP on the bench, with his usual crew. And, win or lose, I don’t want him or his coaches going anywhere soon.

  Up the Swanee River and all the way to victory!

  Up the Spurs!

• Is this the Cup day thread?!

• I guess they’ll just have to ‘run around a bit’ to keep warm.

• It’s a very comfortable 8:15pm KO in Australia. Nice!

• For me, today? It’ll be breakfast, (half English/half Irish), build a snowman, lunch, Whiskey in a hot, hot Hotspur toddy, Guinness, FA Cup Quarter Final football. But, not necessarily in that order.

• It’s good to have a plan. 🙂

• Trouble is Geof, whatever the score at half-time, I have no Plan B. I suppose I’ll just have to make it up as I go along…

• Well, it works for MP! I’m probably going to be more upset if this goes pear-shaped than I was for the Juve game.

• Here is the winning team: #THFC: Vorm, Trippier, Sanchez, Vertonghen (C), Davies, Dier, Sissoko, Lamela, Eriksen, Lucas, Son. #COYS

• Toby on the bench along with; Hugo Aurier Foyth Dembele Dele Llorente.

• WOW, interesting team. That’s a pretty fast midfield, hope the cameras can keep up with them or we’ll miss all 3 goals.

• I doubt many of us would’ve predicted that exact same line-up… Should MP stay or should he go? Before kick-off or, should we wait and see?

• Can’t wait to see Son up front properly and Moura in midfield again. Strong team, could be slightly stronger but not much more, Lloris, Aurier, Dembele and Alli.

• I can tell there’s a lot of VS interest in this game. Does North London still exist?

• Toby, Verts, Sanchez now inter-changeable so difficult to see that muchc difference, Toby at a stretch but Sanchez is proving immense especially in first season.

• Let’s just hope the upset is not us – 1st in the bag for the semi’s – lovely jubbly.
