    good time to play City without KDB & on back of 3-3 draw at Celtic.

    you will luck another 1-1 just like against Pool <ok>

    I very much doubt they'll start, but Son and whoever plays on the right do need to be told not to cut in ALL THE ****ING TIME. Mix it up a bit. Would not be surprised to see N'Koudou at 60 mins if things aren't going well.

    They are probably more nervous than us, they've yet to come up against a decent side this season.

    They know we can put 3 past their defence like Celtic did, and we can defend
    better than the rest of the PL. So a Spurs win on sunday will at the minimum be
    greeted with ambivalence by me.

    A pragmatic Citeh manager would be mindful of the Spurs MF press, and
    put in a real MF beast like Yaya Toure into the fray ...

    come on lets be honest - only decent team you came across was Pool
    You barely managed to keep your behind intact from their assault.

    hardly wumming - we shall see. You will luck another 1-1 with disproportional shots / chances to City.

    Pool were great for an hour. After that, they had burned themselves out and we could easily have won it.
    1-1 was fair in the end.

    You come on and be honest, you've yet to come up against a team with a chance of winning anything apart from the Scottish league and with all due respect to the Scots, you can't really count that.

    Ok - City have beaten the Champion elect Jose in his own backyard.
    That is not good opposition for you?

    So did Watford.. Who said Champions elect? They're ****e. If we don't beat that lot I will be really disappointed. No it's not good enough, mid table fodder at best.

    lets see what you get from the Vicarage road.
    this is Jose's league after all, the best ever.

    Poor old StanDMan.
    His cup final at the Fridge against Spurs is weeks away,
    weeks of Kunta Conte humiliation for him between now and then.

    They couldn't score a goal in open play against our second choice 'keeper. Yeah, we were battered <whistle>

    Good luck against Hull this weekend, if you lose by less than 3 you'll stay above them!

    Seems a lot of optimism on here for a spurs win,I think it's just too tight to call.
    Your pressing game worked against us last season,but the work rate from Peps management compared to Pellegrinis is a different world so we'll see how effective it is.
    Defensively at times we are all over the shop,which I think is caused by playing such a high line and defenders who don't fully understand their role in it,hence the at times very jittery displays at the back.
    Going forward we've been much more effective than last season and the movement off the ball has pulled teams all over the place,pity DeBruyne is out because he's been instrumental in the forward play but we should have enough in the squad to cope.
    Kane out is a big miss for Spurs against our back 4 as I don't think Janssen has settled yet and much more attention will be needed picking up the deeper runs from Son which Fernandinho is ideal for.
    I think we will play 4-1-4-1

    Bravo
    Zabaleta Stones Otamendi Kolorov
    Fernandinho
    Sterling Gundogan Silva Navas
    Aguero

    I'm coming into Euston about 10-30am tomorrow,is there anywhere you can recommend for lunch close to the lane that allows away supporters in?
    Probably coming up seven sisters rd

    Only one pub, the Elbow Room lets away supporters in, if you want a beer best have it nearer Euston. If you just want something to eat then there are some excellent greasy-spoon type cafes. Food inside the stadium was voted the best in the Prem a couple of years back, the rest must be really ****e.
