Fulham Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

Is this game on tv?

Bbc 1

Not sure what to expect today. Although I'm fairly certain we'll start in second gear and they'll start like a house on fire.

You can tell after 5mins how we're going to play, actually going for it or training exercise mode.
Agree Fulham will be 100% up for this so anything less than 100% from us will only end in disappointment.

 

[ajspurs]

The unfortunate thing is that in quite a few of our recent matches I just haven't enjoyed watching us play at all, which is a real shame. I just hope we can actually play some flowing football. Eriksen needs to play to have a good chance of attaining this IMO.

Yeah there was zero chance I was missing this opportunity

Love that song... yet I got two thirds of the way through trying to find a link to Ryan Sessingon.... in the lyrics, in the video?

Before the penny dropped, in zero gravity.

Look on the brightside we'll get a good look at Ryan Sessegnon

Its the name of the song, not Sessegnon

If you're that sharp today perhaps we should play you up front today instead of Vincent?

If we're not at it then we'll be in for a battering. I think this game could define our season. If we bottle it then I can see our season dwindling out into a trophyless top 4 if we're lucky finish but if we can win (and convincingly) then it might give us some fresh momentum and also wake us the fuck up for the Gent game.

I can't think of a game that is less definitive of our season. We need to stay in the top four, and we need to mount something approaching a title challenge. That way, we'll keep our top players and manager happy, and we'll keep attracting good players.

Still love the FA cup though, and I'd love to see us in the quarters.

 

[DIEHARD]

I like Fulham and really like their manager, he is an excellent manager who plays pretty damn good football.

I hope we better the ****s though and destroy them... She who mercy

For any optimists out there, the draw for the QF is at 6.30 this evening

 

[stevenurse]

I'm hoping that due to their style of play they won't dig in and try and stifle us but will be more expensive as that should suit us.

Anything but a draw. I'd be a bit gutted if we lost but would be philosophical as our league rivals would still be in it and would give us the 2 week break Liverpool have had, but a win would be one step closer to a long awaited trophy. Coys

Before the last game is played ? and they wonder why the magic has gone out of the FA Cup

Was so much better when all games were played on the same day with the draw afterwards

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

The BBC are doing their best to put the curse on......

Spurs have never lost three successive games under Mauricio Pochettino, a fate that could befall them at Craven Cottage. He rested nine or 10 of his first-team regulars for each of the previous two FA Cup ties this season; dare he do so again?

 

[goughie1966]

My concern is that I don't think the club as a whole are interested in the FA cup or the Europa League despite the sound bites coming from the club. The players don't seem to be up for the cup games either. It's all about the bloody top 4. Me I'd sooner have an FA cup win this season than top 4 but the club see top 4 as THE trophy and the FA cup is a minor irritant that can't be avoided.

I wouldn't be surprised to see us go out today and the club won't care one jot.

Need to win a cup.

Need to win a cup, and this is winnable again this season.

From the BBC, interesting stat:

Here's a stat that may surprise you - it did me - Tottenham have won just two of their last 14 games away from home.

If Mauricio Pochettino's side are going to win a trophy this season it goes without saying that that record has to be rectified.

Fulham, on the other hand have lost one home game in the league since October and have beaten Hull and Middlesbrough at home in the cups this year.

 

[Monkey boy]

We'll smash them

 

[Gbspurs]

From the BBC, interesting stat:

That stat does not surprise me. If our away form doesn't improve I'm genuinely going to put some money on us getting relegated next season!!

Eh? Surely it's been arranged, sorry drawn, already:
Chelsea v Fulham/Spurs
Arsenal/Sutton v Lincoln
Man U/Blackburn v Millwall
City/Huddersfield v Middlesbrough
