Tottenham Hotspur v Newcastle United- Official Build Up / Matchday Thread

Pity, a few of us might have managed to meet up for the first time.

 

I have a bad feeling about this one!








So hopefully that means we'll win!

 

Probably will. I might even have a bet on Spurs just to make sure we do!

 

Or to at least pay for the coach journey home if we lose!

 

Going with a new Coach Company, might be a lucky omen. A few £ cheaper than the Company I normally go with so I can use what I'm saving for the bet.

 

Yes, but it's cheaper because you have to push the new coach 300 miles each way.

 

A doddle going there, might find it a bit harder coming back.

 

Brilliant. He is a ****er too.

 

Was it that company off Twitter mate?

 

What bets have we done fellas?

 

Agreed AB, Obviously always in touch on here so will arrange a meet up for a game at some point I'm sure.

 

I have the opposite. I always look forward to the spurs games every year. I find they are just always unpredictable and always feel we have a good chance

 

Yes, quite a bit of registration to do, but got there eventually.

Getting picked up at 4:00 am at the Washington Services. Hope I'll get a bit kip on the coach.

 

I expect us to lose, but to be unlucky in doing so. A little like Bale's 2 goals against us last season. Think it should keep us in a confident mood going into the pathetic excuse for an international break that frankly destroys any decent vein of form we could ever muster

 

Surprised it's not earlier with it being a noon kick off.

 

The coach usually takes six hours for the London games so we'll be there in plenty of time.

 

Roads will be empty too.
Please let us know how you find the coach firm.

 

Would be good, thinking of going by coach to Palace next month.

 

Spurs have wasted vast sums on massively overrated talent, and the coach is content letting the actual talent they have stagnate on the bench. So routine victory for them, obvs!

I actually would say we could pick up a draw. Spurs' best player this season is their goalkeeper, while their midfield is pretty much an uncoordinated mess, much like our own. Dawson and Walker etc have a mistake in them, and if we play as defensive as I expect and frustrate them for 25 mins, the crowd will be silent and we'll make it to half time 0-0. They'll throw on some of their more creative players in the second half, probably around 65 minutes, at which point they'll take control and leave themselves more open, and there'll be half chances for each side. If Krul plays anywhere near a decent level, we take home a point.

If they score in the first 25 minutes, our players heads go down and we lose 2 or 3 nil. I am slightly worried about our fullbacks versus Townsend and Lennon, so hopefully no stupid tackles in the box.

 

Its alright, Lennon has no final ball (mockers applied)

Dawson has looked one of the best defenders in the league this but him and particularly do have mistakes in them. I also think its only a matter of time before the Romanian lad pays for his flair. Great to watch but as we've seen with Luiz, its not actually suited to football here as the pressure on the ball is constant.

They haven't been scoring many, we have picked up, its got big Spurs win written all over it.
