You wouldn't see anything coming Rc, but you'd certainly feel the sharp, hard, merciless pain of humility...sealed with a kiss

65' smallest screen we have, opened your pm image on it. Thought the screen was dirty, in-house help gave it a shine, alas just a blank screen. Can you send it again, maybe magnify by a million.

Does r2d2 have a knob?

 

Maybe he should start a new C3PO nick.

Owl if I may. Where do your loyalties actually lie? From what I can gather your lfc mcfc and spurs rolled into 1?

[Bredbury Blue]

I've been wondering the exact same about Owl. I think he's a Spurs fan but I'm not sure.

[carmine]

Just read ahead of todays game that Roy Hodgson says that he and Pochettino are footballing "souls" and have the same philosophy as to how the game should be played!!  <deleted>!!!!!

 

Considering how he Hodged five of our players during the euros i expect Poch to be double insulted.

I think he's a Spurs fan that has no particular dislike of any other clubs.

How i'd like to see us go tonight;

 

                                                        Vorm

                                     Sanchez    Dier    Vertonghen

                 Aurier                                                                   Davies

                                                             Winks

                                               Dele

                          

                                     Eriksen                            Son

                                                          Kane

 

All being well and we score first it would be nice to be able to give Rose and Lamela  in particular some game time.  Obviously Lloris Toby and Wanyama are injured but Dembele needs to be wrapped in cotton wool and good to go for the NLD.

The first pro' game I ever watched was L Orient v Sheff W (2-2). As I became more involved I graduated to Upton Park. I watched a game against Spurs and liked their style. In the double winning season I saw virtually every home game. In those days I would travel to see what I thought to be a good game anywhere; Charlton 6 Middlesboro 6 was a game I remember.

 

I went into the Army (REME) and played for the UK Army Team. Unfortunately I was injured by a bullitt and was pensioned off. I played for an Essex club in the Isthmian League and played at a good level until I was 42 (North London Club).

 

So there you have it; COME ON YOU ?-----?.

Is Trippier injured or just on your bench!?

On the bench, i think Aurier needs the run out.  Davies is first choice and bar that knock he received on wednesday he should play, although i'm of course unaware whether it will keep him out.  Winks is more than capable of controlling the midfield, pace of the game so Dembele can sit on the bench.  Son also needs game time.

 

The player to keep an eye on is Zaha.   Saying that its always very predictable how a Hodgson team will play because aside of throwing one in with their striker on the wing and taking corners it'll be us facing flat banks of defenders and if we get the early goal it could be a big score.

[smokie36]

I'd prefer Llorente to start alongside Kane.

 

Son as an impact sub seems more effective.

 

Dembele on the bench makes sense and if Winks gets crowded in midfield he can be brought on.

Thats going to be one the question marks this season whether he's going for Son or Llorente.  Frankly the win tonight is so important all i care about is three points.

Son seems unable to boss a game as yet for 90 mins.

 

He is terrific for half an hour particularly against tired defenders.

 

His enthusiasm is definitely a big plus on and off the pitch.

Best get some fire in the belly for the second period.

Poor really but we'll take the points today.

 

Hopefully Kane will rule himself out for England.

A bit fortunate Ronnie, but maybe not unexpected. What surprised me the most was the poor game management after Spurs scored. Spurs looked like a tired bunch. But you nabbed three points and now the break.

 

How 'bout your third string Argie keeper ?! A decent showing !

[carmine]

Well that was a definite hangover from wednesday and we were very lucky.  Thats the luckiest three points we'll get all season.  Palace should have scored three times before Son scored.

 

As i said yesterday, all i wanted was the points so on that basis i'm happy because apart from our keeper, who proved we have extremely good back up, there was nothing else to smile about really.

 

Roll on the NLD

[carmine]

Aurier proving to be a real enigma.  Thats the second horrendous error that should have cost us another goal.  Yet he's really good on the ball, a great attacking threat but Poch really needs to iron out the sloppiness fast.

 

NLD has to be Trippier i reckon.  Hopefully Poch will not release Dele and Kane to Southgate.

The new Gazza!!

 

He wasn't paying attention though at one point and should have been off his line much sharper.

 

Other than that just superb and deserved MOM award.

 

Son with his near post miss would have otherwise got it....Son is so hot and cold at the moment....consistency lad....gotta love him though.

[smokie36]

Delighted to see Kane, Alli and Winks all getting a fortnight's rest.

[carmine]

Marcus Edwards has been called in to train with the England squad.........perhaps this will see a major change in his attitude and he'll stop reading his own press.  A mercurial talent is being wasted here.

 

Read yesterday that we are favorites in the away fixture for the NLD for the first time in the premier league era, so lets hope the bookies rarely wrong saying holds true.

 

As per usual just give Ozil a good solid wack in the first five minutes and he'll go missing.......

[smokie36]

I see Eriksen had a decent warm up for the gooners.

^I'm surprised nobody is offering you big money for Eriksen. If City could take one player from spurs I'd have him.

The offers will arrive soon enough.  With the form he's in thats in no doubt.

[balo]

A world class player he is, he is very important player in the team, I would hate to see him go.
