Don't worry Thor, whenever I say something the opposite tends to happen, so we'll probably win now... Or will we?

Famous old trick that is. Napoleon used mares on heat at Waterloo to distract the stallions ridden by the Scots Greys etc. Sneaky. Should neigh be allowed.
Tottenham XI: Vorm; Dier, Fazio, Vertonghen, Davies; Dembele, Stambouli; Eriksen, Lamela, Townsend; Kane
Just in case nobody's realised, it's a 6pm kick-off and here is our lineup: Vorm; Dier, Fazio, Vertonghen, Davies; Dembele, Stambouli; Eriksen, Lamela, Townsend; Kane. Subs: McGee, Chiriches, Rose, Chadli, Mason, Paulinho, Soldado. No idea what's happened to Friedel. Pretty strong.
Vertonghen wearing the armband tonight. Hope we don't get to see a list of reasons he was never considered for it...
Once again, Pochettino has taken my advice (though he did choose Vertonghen, and moved Kane up to lead the line). So I guess I'm to blame for our troubles this season. Asteras nickname are the Arcadians. They've done well at home in Europe in the three years they've been there. They're undefeated, I think, and beat Mainz, for whatever that's worth. Vertonghen launches one into Row Z, and Townsend makes a long dribble to nowhere, the obligatory left footed shot into Row Z having already been taken. Townsend wins a pen. They haven't shown a replay, but it looks like a questionable decision-- Check that. Good decision on second look. The Arcadian took out Townsend's leg forcefully in the area without getting the ball. Excellent pen by Townsend, blasting it into the side netting. A lot of the ball but not very coherent. Check that. Townsend with a nice cross from the left which Kane nods home. If you have some tall English lads you might want to give them a chance to head it over the shorter Greek lads. Townsend making a strong case for himself.
I've seen a lot of standing still, some lack of anticipation and it's been sooooooooooo slow. But it's 0-2 to us. Ooooo should have been 0-3.
