    We can line up in any shape anyone wants

    If we can't beat this lot given their dire form then we should pack it in

    We couldn't have hand picked a better team to play against. It may be their last home game but they don't have them gears in them to turn us over considering the gulf in class plus what we have at stake.

    No excuses

    Dreading this, due to:

    1. this may be the first time since Lasagna-gate where Spurs
    have had very high stakes on the last league game

    2. the way the Burnley game played out.


    If Spurs are not a couple of goals up, there is nobody on-pitch
    to take the team by the scruff of the neck and get the job done.

    My head says go quite hard for the win, knowing that ending up
    with a draw will suffice. My heart says the mentality may be
    to play for a draw, and then something < standard > occurs.

    No excuses here. Have to go out and win. These are the games you employ a manager of the calibre of Conte for. Get the job done.

    I preferred a 352 and went with different tactics:

    BAN
    LASAG
    NE

    Norwich has nothing to lose and spurs have everything to lose. Norwich will be carefree and be prepared to attack whilst spurs may be nervous.

    I would rather be a Norwich player than a spurs player on Sunday.

    Are you playing that formation with or without a "high line" ??

    This game feels more important than any game including the cup final last season.

    Feels like a massive chance to keep players (and a manager) we don't want to lose and attract one's we need.

    Bizarrely, I feel as nervous as I did before the CL final!

    But mostly I feel a massive crippingly sense of dread.

    I have to wonder if Harvey White appearing in our social media posts this morning might be indicating that we're planning on having him feature in some capacity


    Just a heads up, Harv: if Hugo has to go off, offer to wear the GK kit. Your place in the team will be assured for years to come

    City and Liverpool both live Sky games, plus one other to be announced. That will surely be Burnley v Newcastle, I would guess.

    So...back to a dodgy stream for us on Sunday <laugh>

    Ahh you can't beat a commentary in Arabic with a constant stream of abuse about Spurs on the side bar

    I'd imagine when we're 4-0 down after 88 minutes Levy will want to bring him on for his PL debut to cheer the fans up.

    Thw wiziwig ones mainly seem to get a USA channel feed,
    which usually have some of Lee Dixon and Graham Le Saux
    as co-commentators (quite balanced and less irritating to the ears) .
