Team Sheet For Stoke

Good morning.

Tomorrow night is all about Tottenham getting back on track. The desire to land 3 points and wishing a stranger who suffered a heart attack well aren’t mutually exclusive. 

The issue of the players ‘being in the right place emotionally’ has been mooted and in such instances it’s the responsibility of the individuals that feel affected to make this known to staff and they will of course be welcome to sit this one out and an organisation as big as THFC will I am convinced get them any help they might need in this direction. Here’s my team to play Stoke.

Chicken Badge Heroes™ shown not actual size.

Again, I’m for resting King and Friedel. The reasons are there for all to see; Brad’s been letting in goals and Ledders looks lackluster. 

The return of Gallas is a welcome sight and hopefully given a run together this back four can establish some routine and dare I say it cohesion. 

The boy Bale, PNB and Modders across the middle in a 3 man midfield using van der Vaart as a foil to feed Saha and the Midget Gem. 

At the risk of pointing out the bleedin’ obvious if Bale continuously drifts in, not only will he magnify how narrow we are without Azza but he’ll simultaneously clog the midfield.

David Bentley has been training. If this actually means he’s fit and worth fielding is another matter. Against an anti footballing mob like Stoke I don’t know if I’d start him. Maybe an option to use him to replace a very tired van der Vaart who I anticipate getting quite tired after scoring two memorable goals.

Predictions? I expect the fans to make some real noise and get behind the players. Given the tragic nature of Sunday’s events endless rounds of, ‘Fabrice Muamba!’ throughout the game will only be haunting and not actually benefit anyone.

Full time, 2-0.

      Are we on the bench, when they all fuck it up then?

        What’s your forte? We could do with subs who can chew gum and text at the same time whilst wearing headphones.

          I’m a defensive midfielder who really should be controlling the game like Hoddle and finishing like Greaves……but you can put me in charge of the ironing of undervests, organising tattoos and embroidering ‘I love god’ on football boots if you want….I’m a team player :angel:

    HH could you put the correct spelling for fesesheous, feshishas, feseous, phesheshous, fescious, that word on the right of the page, i want to use it often but can`t spell it , even when totally sober.

  • Razspur says:

    Got it, Facetious.
    Sometimes i`m not just “taking the piss” on the odd occasion i am being facetious.
