“You’ve got to go there and play sensibly against the better teams, you’ve got to be difficult to beat away from home. Let’s not kid ourselves. If we come back with a point we would all be delighted.”

“So you’ve got to go out there and hit them on the break. We’d like to win but we’re not going to go out and start swarming all over them – they are a top team, so you have to be aware of that.”

Stirring stuff. Arry’s pre match words there evoke such strong emotions. Forget ‘Cry havoc!’, never mind Braveheart and see you later alligator to ‘Upon my command, unleash hell!’ No, what we have here has just raised the bar in motivational speeches.

Hairs tingling on the of your neck? Nope, mine neither. He’s about as fired up as Mavis Riley dithering over whether to have a custard cream or a chocolate digestive.

Given the manner in which Tottenham play their best football, it’s seem downright weird for Arry to suddenly come it all master tactician on us. There will be quite enough over-thinking taking place courtesy of the fat Spanish waiter. Tottenham need to get out there and do precisely the opposite of his pearls of wisdom above.

A holding game is something Spurs are not entirely at one with to put it mildly and this strategy also requires a damn tight back four. Hardly our calling card.

Anytime goalscorer punt would have to be the boy Bale @9/2.

BIOYC!

    lets be honest we are going to miss VDV,hopefully harry just replaces him with the krank and keeps it all the same,if we have our passing game together then we’ll give them a game,

    i’d probably start like this if there are no new setbacks

    ———-gomes
    hutton gallas bassong BaE
    ——tommy modric——-
    –jenas–krank—-baler–
    ——pavlyuchenko——-

    try and start solid and bring on the eyebrow and beanpole if we need to mix it up…COYS

    So we play the euro champions away in the san siro on wednesday and are first up on saturday at 12:45 against everton,whats with that,i smell some scum cheating :cop:

  • nick the greek says:

    Nice to see Fergie getting a taste of his own medicine, just like Berbatov

    • Kojac says:

      HAha,hope its true,however they try and dress it up they’re gonna miss a rooney in a long season,he’s a scouser anyway he doesn’t care about mancs,could be the real end of the fergie era

      i hope he wants to come to us VDV and rooney upfront should do some damage :dizzy2:

      • spurlative says:

        Come to us? now that would be bigger than VDV. But realisticly would he? when manchiti bang bang can offer mullah?

        • Spurstacus says:

          He might come to us if HR tells him that theres a lot of the kind of girls he likes on Seven Sisters Road. And maybe throw in a flat on Tiverton Road Estate for convenience.

    • stevo1987 says:

      I hope that medicine is for piles…….

    • kennypowers says:

      never seen fergie in all these years so down to earth and humbled.
      wouldnt want rooney at our club,cant stand the fella and over rated imo.take a draw tomorrow by the way

    • seattlespursguy says:

      The saga could benefit us. If City decide to flip Fergie the bird and put in a big bid for that slack jawed yokel that could leave other striking options free. With UEFA money guidelines starting, City cannot keep making losses with their multiple megabids.

      Edin Džeko maybe isn’t out of reach.
