Yes bring 'em on; if Arsenal can beat us, then we can beat United and put to bed the hoodoo they have had over us in recent years.

In hindsight I think I was lucky to have had to miss the Arsenal game but come on Spurs let's use that defeat to motivate ourselves for a dynamic and famous victory over United.

We have the players to do the job, one poor game does not a season make. Come to that, one good one against NUFC doesn't either. So let Man U. catch the full force of our dented pride. We have had some wretched luck in this fixture over the years but it can't last for ever.

Bring on United, COYS!
 
To beat the side that utterly destroyed AFC 8-2 would, in a way, be some kind of victory over AFC, too.
 
On subject, yeah football's a crazy game and United apparently weren't great by any stretch either. Lets hope this was a one off performance for us, home advantage could really help us.
 
"Parker is not such a great loss"
Sorry Luke to pull that out of your prediction, but Parker will be a massive loss.
He doesn't need to have a like minded player coming at him, he breaks up the play and throws himself around makes a nuisance generally.
I'm supposing Sandro will come in for him and he is a different type of DM.
Harry has said in the after match interview that he won't have them together until Friday so there is no point in a bollocking but maybe just to reinforce that it was was just a bad day and to move on.

Arsenal's recent troubles, including early setbacks today, seemed to act as some form of motivation. Winning in the style that they did has put their problems out of sight, at least for the time being. They have restored some pride.

Pride is the key for Spurs. With any realistic chance of winning the title gone, will the players stand up and be counted or revert to the flakiness of the past?

Spurs home record is formidable (apart from the thrashing by City). I can't see the players wanting to lose that feeling of invincibility at WHL. I expect it to be a game in keeping with the contests between the top sides this season- impossible to predict, plenty of goals, plenty of errors- probably decide by a dodgy decision or a moment of individual brilliance.

Parker is not such a great loss v Utd because we don't have an effective defensive midfielder ourselves. I can see it being a game of "we attack, you attack", although it's difficult to know what personnel, formation and tactics SAF will employ. Will Rafael play to counter Bale's pace now that he no longer plays solely as a left winger? Will he look to play a more defensive midfield including Jones or Park rather Giggs or Scholes, who have been playing well? Rooney will be back, which is a big plus for Utd; he was badly missed today.

If so, it will be refreshing to see ateam come to WHL to play football. Nowadays, most come trying to survive. The few that have tried to play a bit ( apart from City) have come badly unstuck.
 
Well. I'm going to bang on about the England job...thats all Harry does.

Once again, Sunday papers are littered with Harry and England comments, great preparation for the NLD, and with the Dutch friendly next its going to be all about Harry and what he'd do.....again! <steam>, so another great week of preparation for the United game....don't bring them on I say, its a another stuffing imo.

Until this England thing is resolved, Spurs will remain unsettled and all over the place....and 6th or 7th at this rate.

No, no it wouldn't at all, even remotely. Milan thumped Arsenal 4 0, did they somehow get a win over ye yesterday, I think not.


I hope ye pay United no respect, this is what always costs ye in coy games where you should really go at them, you have the midfield to take em on and suppress scholes, Bale will have to work hard and stay on his feet, but you lot seem to always pay United far too much respect because they are your dodgy team.

I want spurs to win this one for sure<ok>
 
if we're going to have any chance of beating them Harry must play both Bale and Lennon,as i don't think United's full back's are good enough to hold them

You didn't really understand this did you?

Not that I care whether it is a victory over Arsenal or not. A victory over Utd is important to us for many reasons. Getting one over Arsenal is not one of them.

Barring injuries, we must start with a midfield of Lennon, Sandro, Modric, Bale - we need to drop the mentality of containing opponents, as all that really does is stifle our own game and allow the opponents to play theirs. It's not exactly Sun Tzu...

And with VDV to make the 5 when needed, but to allow Bale and Lennon to get forward.

Agreed. That's what cost us yesterday. Man Utd will be one of the few teams who come to WHL to give us a game. We have to get back on track as quickly as possible after yesterday's disastrous performance. The best way to do that, IMO, would be to go for Utd's throat, and rip it out!

Exactly! That's what I find completely unforgivable. Being outfought, out worked, and lacking in intensity in a ****ing NLD, for christ's sake!
