Match Day Thread Tottenham v Brighton, Big Game For Us Bluebirds

C’mon the Spurs 8-0 please! Maurice Norman to get a hat trick!

 

Jimmy Greaves to get 2, Danny Blanchflower 1, Cliff Jones 1 and Pat Jennings the other.

 

I had a Bobby Smith hat trick in mind actually

 

COYS!!!!

 

Have to confess to an affinity with the other side of North London, but ok and on this occassion only, COYS.

 

Thank you for your good grace Clingo if not your allegiance to the Woolwich Travellers.

 

My dad was in the army with Bertie Mee - that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!

 

Tottenham keeper Hugo Lloris is expected to return against Brighton, having missed Saturday's defeat at Manchester City with a muscle injury.

But top scorer Harry Kane remains absent with an ankle problem.

Brighton midfielder Davy Propper will be assessed after suffering a hamstring issue at Wolves on Saturday. Jimmy Case could get a start after a lengthy layoff.

Frank Bruno was also withdrawn on Saturday but the captain's injury is thought to be less serious. Anthony Knockaert serves the last of a three-match ban

Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino: "It is in our hands to be in the top four and the Champions League next season. Our next two games are decisive, if we can win them, it will depend on us.

"Now it is time to be strong and be competitive for Tuesday and take the three points."

Brighton & Hove Albion manager Chris Hughton: "We are finding it hard to score. That is the next bit but if we can show that type of determination in all the games, we at least give ourselves a chance."
