Pre Match Tottenham v Leicester

[camberwell fox]

Don't worry, they'll manage to find someone else to score against us in the first 10-15 minutes.

Yep, anyone on a goal drought, their debut, never scored before...if that doesn’t happen we could always try a Sinclair (OG).

 

[Brown Nose]

So we're going to go behind in minutes 11-15?

Almost certainly.

 

[Lako42]

Not this game but had Benteke scored after we became a charity for him last time?

No but he has only played six games this season. Two of his mighty tally of three goals last season came against us. You know, as we lost 8-0 to Palace over the two games because our manager is an awful tactician.

If Trippier plays it's got to be worth a few quid on 1st scoer at 25/1 (free kick maybe?) Alternatively Dier at 28/1?

I'm a bit feverish at the horse racing being off. Sorry.

 

[Skitzo]

Dier won’t play according to Sky due to a virus

Shit. Not him as well? First the horses & now this? It's a conspiracy to stop me having any fun this weekend.

Back an old nag to score, Andy Carrol for WHU

Lucky bastards

Not like they'll need that type of player

Equineflu?

Last five matches. It’s simply incredible. Both the manager and players deserve the criticism for this, although at the end of the day the manager is the one paid to find a solution.

Puel yesterday: "They have a fantastic squad with a lot of options. I don’t know if we can arrive at this level"

With that kind of rousing team talk, it's remarkable that we're not usually further behind 15 minutes in.

 

[City Fan]

He’s so defeatist it’s ridiculous.

Why is he still here?

LOLOLOLOL absolute joker.

Maybe it's just yet another translation issue. Probably means "we'll ****ing smash em" in French.

Do you seriously think he will be saying that to his players?

Nah he’ll have said it in public where they can’t hear it

What in the name of Christ possesses someone to say something like that?

Still, it does serve to show up the multi level shambles of the way things have been run in the last 3 years.

Spurs squad is no stronger than the one we took 4 points off back then & laughed at when their papier mache backbone went at the crucial time (as usual)

Ours on the other hand, has had eye-watering amounts of cash thrown at it & it's deteriorated to a level where according to our own manager we may as well not bother to turn up!

**** me.

Bring on the Cricket season for ****'s sake.
