Do people really have such terrible lives that they have to set up notifications of other clubs twitter accounts just so they can be the first to comment about us once the team news is out?

It's a really sad world we live in.

Watch arsenal or view spurs squads/ announcements....probably picked the more entertaining option!

They are playing really well, very attacking, quite skillful. 17 games unbeaten I think it is.

I see Sky have called in the brain‘s trust tonight with Darren Bent and Jamie Redknapp on pundit duty.

Understand resting Toby for Sanchez but don't understand why Lucas keeps getting these opportunities over Dele, especially considering him and Vinicius were obviously missing for hanging out with the Arsenal Brazilians.

Would have liked to see Bergwijn start to try and get him a goal too, and Sissoko for Winks is potentially a bad indication of how we're looking to control this game. Not going to be pretty.

Having said that it's still a strong team and should be more than good enough to beat a Championship team, even if it's a good one.

5 changes from our starting XI that won 3-0 at the weekend, but it could still be argued that this is an equally strong / superior line-up. If the intention is to field our strongest XI today, the only questionable selection for me is Sanchez, but it may be that Mourinho thinks his pace will be valuable.

Cue the anti-Spurs talk on sky.
COYS !!!!

This was just a rumour.

Moura is more of a like-for-like replacement for Bergwijn. I hope Dele gets a decent run-out though.

Probably started by Chelsea fans

Bergwijn apparently has a slight injury, which Jose did say after our last game, he needs a rest. Let Dele play in the cup game at weekend, hasn't done enough when he has played to start here.

I was thinking that - we've changed half the team but for some reason it doesn't seem like we've changed much, I can't explain it

A good, strong team, which seems to err on the side of caution. Having both PEH and Sissoko in midfield, indicates to me that he wants to play conservatively in the first half to get a better sense of their tactics and players. Depending on the score at half time, and given the 5 sub rule, this is the pragmatic thing to do, in my humble opinion. They are doing very well in the Championship, and could very well be in the PL next season. Sounds like they are a more expansive team, like Leeds. Rather than a 'grind it out, get goals via set pieces' type of team.

We shall see. I hope that Sonny and Kane bring it tonight. I worry about the latter sometimes, as he doesn't always do so well playing twice a week. Saw that in some of our games in December. He seemed sluggish at time. Then he gets a full week off, and plays great against Leeds. Fingers crossed that he and all the other lads are up for it. As Brentford will be, as they have nothing to lose and can throw the kitchen sink at us.

Just realised it's a 7.45 KO and not 8. Thank God I checked now. ?

I thought it was a 7pm KO. Imagine my delight when I switch over to find out that I have 45 minutes of Darren Bent and Jamie Redknapp to endure.

 

[gavspur]

Yeah that’s a strong team. I don’t know much about Brentford, so it’ll be interesting to watch as it seems we are totally set up for quick transitions with that team. Sanchez always worries me, but he has pace and maybe that’s why he’s in? I always thought he played better when he had a Mohawk.

[spursfan77]

I just hope our passing in defensive areas. With Sanchez and Sissoko in that team together the propensity for us to keep giving them the ball back increases dramatically.

 

[doctor stefan Freud]

Had a weird dream last night that both teams played in fancy dress and I couldn't work out who the hell was who

Me too!

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

I've just surfed through around 80-odd channels looking for shows or personalities that piss me off.

I found an absolute shitload.

And in none of them, absolutely none of them did I find it difficult to act on that and turn it over. Stopped watching, easy peasy.

So those of you who drone on and on and fucking on about the TV coverage, week after week after week.......Either man up or switch it over. If you chose to watch it then for the love of god, shut the fuck up complaining.

Winks not starting? WTF?

 

[bubble07]

They are playing really well, very attacking, quite skillful. 17 games unbeaten I think it is.

Will be 17 if they avoid defeat tonight...

 

[delawarespur]

Toney, mbuemo, dasilva their danger men and Rico Henry is a very good fullback. Don’t forget these should’ve been a prem team if they didn’t collapse at the end of the season. Should be a good match.
