Under The Lights At The Lane

A magical phrase.

Working on the basis that after two pretty iffy league games we are in true Tottingham tradditon a good one, I feel quite positive about tonight. With the obvious exception of the long standing gout sufferers and the likely to be  limited contribution from the Boy Bale, we shape up pretty well.

Once the MO’s list is removed from the equation, my next port of call is Begbie & A&E. I am not a stat man. But I know that I’m running out of stuff to throw at the telly as they both commit stupid foul after stupid foul.

As that charmless nurk Van Persie demonstrated last night, the consequences of daftness are unforgiving. Van Persie claiming he couldn’t hear because of the fans. Yes of course. As anyone who’s been to the Camp Nou will tell you, the thunderous volume is possibly at it’s lowest when the away team are attacking. A few thousand Gooners up in the Gods wouldn’t have drowned out a whistle that every other player heard on every occasion for the duration of the match.

Tottingham need to focus on what we do well and not allow the insanity of an individual error sink us. Sounds obvious, but just because we’re suddenly hitting the high life I’d be sickened to watch us become a posse of hard done by whiners.

On a cheerier note I’m looking forward to Sandro playing again. We are constantly reminded about players needing time to bed in, well this guy appears to mastered that transition and gives me every indication he could be central figure for us.

Predictions. Wow. Now you have me.  3MP Anytime Goalscorer in a 3-2 win is a whopping 40/1. Krankie Anytime Goalscorer in a 2-2 draw is 45/1. I think that they will be goals. Lots of ’em. It’ll be a nail-biter. Because that’s the way we do business.

Oh yes, I have been told I’m on p78 (it’s the new page 3) of this month’s Zoo Magazine. I would imagine it’s a hilarious one liner rather than a full and frank confessional.

    Right. Can I just say, before we go any further – I am sick of people (whether the press, Glenn Hoddle etc.) repeating this line – specifically, that we “knocked out Inter Milan”.

    We f*cking didn’t.

    Now, let us actually knock out a Milan team tonight!!

    COYS, BIOYC!

  • Jazz15c says:

    Dangerous, I know, but I expect us to go through tonight. As long as we don’t do anything ‘Spurs-esque’, we should be ok. It won’t be emphatic, and the bastards will certainly put us through, don’t they always. Bale will play, of course he will, 100% cert, he and Lennon will scare the living out them.

    Heart says 3vs1 Spurs, no dramas.

    Head says a nail-biting 1vs1 draw.

    Spurs…you’re a bunch of assholes sometimes, but I fucking love you, and wouldn’t swap you for nothing.

    COYS!

    • Spurstacus says:

      Collective term for assholes- bunch.
      That other lot down the road are a right bunch.

      • melcyid says:

        as flamface testifies ,once part of that bunch allways one of that bunch.now I know what the saying thanks a bunch really means

  • Fatfish says:

    Let’s stop giving away silly free kicks in our own half. Class teams will may them pay & we are playing class tonight.

    I’m nervous.

    COYS!

    Sod it, haven’t done any work for the last 2 hours,can’t concentrate
    Is the Bell & Hare open yet, thinking of getting up there now, can’t wait

  • SpoletoSpur says:

    If bale is not fit to start i expect harry to play modric left side, sandro & palacios central and lennon on the rigjt. Vdv to play off crouch.

    The pace of bale and defoe to be used for 20-30 mins if necessary.

    3-1 spurs.

    • Anthony In That Number says:

      That sounds spot on. But if Bale can start I think Harry will go with

      Gomes

      Charlie Daws Gallas Ben

      Len Sarge Modders Bale

      DVD

      Crouch

      Very harsh on Sandro but he would be part of a very strong bench…

      Cudicini, Sandro, JD, Pav, Krankie, Peanut possibly King or Kabooom if fit or Basooooon if not.

      Must not allow them to settle, press like we did especially in the 1st half in the San Siro and play high tempo.
