Dean Marney, the one game super kid! Didn't he score twice on his debut at home against Everton then never seen again!

I still have nightmares about that game where we made Myhill look like he was created from splicing the genes of Yashin, Zoff, Maier and Banks...
Will be good to see The Hudd return, just hope he doesn't enjoy too much and come back to haunt us. Them being without Livermore is a bonus as it seems he's done pretty decent for them. Team I'd like to see is: Lloris, Walker, Dawson, Vertonghen, Rose Sandro, Paulinho Townsend, Eriksen, Lennon (if fit enough) Soldado With Townsend and Lennon switching throughout the game. We've gotta ensure we bag the 3 points here, we've already dropped points at home to Chelsea and West Ham. I think if the team is mentally up for it and doesn't go in too cocky/ confident, we could come away with hopefully a comfortable victory. 3-0 providing the players play how we know they can.
No Livermore, so we'll see how Hudd copes without his sidekick, and really we should be able to expose his faults, just keep the ball and make him run around. Popular player though who'll no doubt get a good reception. A home win is essential...for the crowd aswell as players!
Alright lads. I fully expect you to win, unless McGregor repeats Myhill's heroics on our last visit. Thudd is just set up to score, isn't he? If not the league game, then surely in the cup...
He was just a **** version of Jake Livermore, who we will miss at the weekend. Expect to see Meyler take his place, so we should be good for a least a dozen free kicks around the box.
One Scottish 'keeper has already had the game of his life against us and it'd be just our luck if McGregor did too I think it could be a tough game though, you've had a good start to the season and we're still not quite there in attack, wouldn't be surprised if we draw 1-1.
Funny how we've almost accepted THudd will score against us. And if it's in the last minute and we are 3-0 up, most of us would applaud. Still one of my favourite players.
What's your view of Jake? With us he just ran about out, hardly touched the ball and left huge gaps in midfield, but we couldn't help but like him as he was Spurs daft.
I reckon O'Hara could've actually been a good player but he got too cocky and thought he was better than what he actually was at the time. Now he seems to be hated by his own fans as an overpaid prima donna and I think if I'm not mistaken, hasn't even been given a squad number for them this season.
