    Not even Spurs can lose to this Leicester side, right?

    No, there's no way that Spurs could **** it up against one of the worst teams in the PL

    Not a chance.

    I know but I need to get my head down with no distractions and it’s a good excuse to have a break from you lot. You guys are alright in small doses.

    Stop making excuses - if we put out the same defence, you should get at least 3 ...

    How it’s an excuse, look at the league table and form of both teams.

    Spurs are terrible atm, plus the game at the KP ended in a draw. Wouldn’t be surprised to see another draw today.

    We'll be lacking Hermandsen, Pereira, Ndidi and Futawau - and yes, I know every club gets injuries, but those 4 are amongst the best in a pretty average squad ... and if Vestergaard plays, Richarlison will look great ...

    You’re talking about injuries. Spurs are missing a whole 11 including key players injured.

    Spurs may well score 3 goals today but they’ll probably concede 4 <laugh>

    it’s a tricky one. Is it a bounce back win for Spurs or a first win in the league in 7 or 8 games for Ruud.

    That line up doesn’t fill me with confidence. Not even many options on the bench

    Ruud will end his difficult spell with at least a point today. Vardy to net first is a cert

    I’ve said and still feel, a score draw. Neither team can defend and both missing key defensive players.

    is there a line up that would?

    I don’t think so

    decent line up on paper but they burnt out, fresh back from injuries and all in mega **** form as a collective

    True but the manager does himself no favours

    My point - that you've missed - is that even with all those injuries, you squad is way better ... the four I mentioned, if fit, might have helped give your side today a competitive game ...

    We are starting De Cordova-Reid and Ayew <doh> - neither of who were getting starts at Fulham and Palace - and neither of whom would make your bench today - plus it's the same defence!!

    Very generous of you <smooch>

    ... if he brings Buenanotte on we will certainly be better going forward ... but he doesn't seem to rate him - that or Brighton are on the verge of selling the lad (who is very talented)
