Daft time of day to put the match day thread up. Grrrr…

 

Free hit. Let's hit them. They deserve to be hit. Hit them hard. It's ok, we won't get any yellows. No hang on a minute. They won't get any yellows. Who cares, hit them anyway. Break some of them.

I heard they have 19 senior outfield players for the rest of the season? Pep being clever again? If they do get any injuries though are we expected to feel sympathy?

 

Gotta feel for Porro, his debut's probably gonna be in a game where we get gubbed and the crowd are gonna be booing/ chanting Levy Out once the 4th's gone in.

Welcome to Spurs, Pedro

 

Can I rely on you guys to do us a favour and absolutely NOT give me false hope like you did at The Etihad?

 

Are you old enough to remember an FA Cup replay in 2004 when we were 3-0 up at half-time and they were down to 10 men and lost Anelka to injury?

So ideally our aim is to re-enact that game.

 

So many great memories. Such as our players getting sent off for good tackles, their players not getting sent off for bad ones (or even stamping on someone's head). Standing in front of the keeper but apparently not obstructing him. Not counting the non-yellows, for they are uncountable. Oh, and I think Son used to play well against them.

 

My thoughts exactly.
A day too early.
We was robbed

 

Denied (Citizen Kane was not officially registered as a
player in the 2022-23 Paul Stewart cup, before the deadline date) .

 

Sounds like everyone’s available for Sunday, including Richy and Lucas

 

You tell him Sonny
Conflicted about him finding his form on Sunday though. Perhaps a hat-trick in a 3-3 draw

 

Dan KP suggests that, as Conte hasn't had time to work with Porro due to his gall bladder being galling, Emerson is likely to start

Oh boy, our Twitter fanbase will be especially charming when the lineups are announced if that's the case...

Just thought I'd pop over and look who you boys have this weekend

 

Well the pre-match entertainment is sorted

Remember to be there by 11:02am, because they'll likely give up and go home when nobody turns up just like the last time - or because the people who do show up are ripping the piss out of their abysmal punctuation

 

What's that all about?
