Match Day Thread Tottenham Hotspur v Newport County

Look on the bright side we only have one season the chavs might have 4 or 5

 

If Llorente doesn’t score tonight Chelsea are welcome to him

 

No! Not his Samson-esque stubble!

 

BBC Football Live has just posted up photos of little Newport County kids, with the scarves, rosettes and woolly hats. They look so hopeful. My heart is already bleeding for them.

I do wish the BBC wouldn't do that.

 

Mrs Audrey says she would be very surprised - as I never did that BEFORE the op!!!!!

 

And we're off at Wembley! Will we see a giant killing or will Spurs get the job done comfortably?

There's not many here to witness it...

The top tiers at Wembley are completely empty.

Newport pressing hard from the off!

I fully expect that to peter out after about 20 minutes.

 

Foyth already looking dodgy at the back

 

Hopefully we're not 2 or 3 down by then!! So far we've been dreadful.

 

One long cross and Newport have a free header. FFS Spurs!

 

Relax.

We'll ease through the dreadful defensive blunders and lethargic passing, and emerge victorious.

Trust me on this.

I'm an optimist.

 

Dreadful defending. Shambolic half-assed performance so far.....

 

Mauricio Pochettino isn't very happy with the way his team have started.

The Tottenham manager has just kicked over a load of water bottles by his dugout.

(BBC Football Live commentary)

Shades of Wenger...

 

Thats because the seats in the top tiers were not put on sale

 

Never try to stop a hack with an anti-Spurs slant to a headline, my friend.

 

We’re making exactly the same mistakes from two weeks ago.

So far only Lamela and Son having a decent game

 

Has anyone else noticed Danny Rose is on the pitch? He’s anonymous!

 

We'd say we were playing **** even if the opposition was Barcelona!
Gotta get better, surely?

 

Ffs let's get hold of this game

 

Over 20 mins gone and not a single shot on target
