We'll put out a stronger team than usual tonight.

Therefore I expect some sort of performance and a win...........But this is Spurs. In Europe.

2-0 or 3-0 to us. I have a feeling in my wee-wee.

Then you need a trip to the clinic or its the umbrella down the magic eye for you.

Belgian here. If we underestimate Gent (like we did with Wycombe in the FA cup), we could be in real trouble. Gent hasn't performed well this season, but strenghtened their squad in the january mercato. They beat Club Brugge, best team in Belgium, at home 2 weeks ago - proof of of their solid home reputation in a fantastic stadium. It was Brugge's first defeat in 14 games.

Their coach is a solid tactician who led them to the title 2 years ago. A massive achievement for AA Gent. They even qualified for the CL second round the year after. So be sure their coach is experienced and knows how to set a team up. Their players will be fired up for this as well and will be backed by a great crowd.

Unfortunately I expect Poch to make some changes to the starting eleven. This, combined with us underestimating them (think Sunderland Away), makes me feel uncomfortable about this game. Could see a draw. It will not be a pushover...


Good info thanks mate.

I'll be happy with a draw... never easy playing away from home let alone in a different country.

But we need to win this at Wembley.

gonna be a tough match, COYS!

After the piss poor performance at Anfield, we need the team to step up. We are playing Gent, we should bury them.

Gent are the team that qualified through the group stage of a European competition. You must be thinking of Gillingham, but we played them back in September mate.

Totally agree, Genk is a decent side, and the match means so much for to them then it does to us.

Like I said. I'll be happy with a draw, but will be satisfied with a single goal lost. An away goal would be bonus.

I am expecting some changes to the side, think Eriksen, Son and Dele on the bench. We might start with Kane to see if we can nick an away goal.
Bloody good we are not playing Genk then, isn't it?

European football. The bright lights. The final only 52 games away. It doesn't get more exciting than this. I fancy a comfortable three-goal victory for London's Finest.

Altogether now:

Ohh we're marching into Europe in the shape of Jimmy Greaves
We humbled the Italians, put the Germans to their knees
Ohh, you've never seen anything like it in the present or the past
And as for fuckin' Woolwich, you can stick'em up your arse.

Only Eriksen and Son rested. Fuck me that's a far stronger team than I expected. Worries me a little bit for Saturday, in fact.

Great team, very happy with that. Strong signal, no excuses. Those guys simply are obliged to show up and nail this. Do I detect the possibility for 433? 433 and EL on the same evening? This surpasses Xmas for the last 17 years.
