Match Threads Spurs vs Wolves - Match Thread

[Deleted member 27995]

I always find it funny with the amount of folk who come in here and tell the match day thread they've given up their match day ticket because [enter eeyore reason here] i'm surprised we manage to pack the stadium out like we do.

There are some members here who must be fucking rolling in it with all the money they've made back!

As far as the game, goes to show that stat about their visits to the big smoke that they obviously enjoy the fight the London clubs put up, also goes to show that they are a decent side, thus meaning a good game of football. Don't expect anything less again today.

Hoping for a result, another busy week ahead so let's start it on the positive tip.

@Archibald&Crooks I don't mind setting up that 'alt' MDT but I don't want to be reported by all the people who have their sensitivities hurt ...
Can I anyway? ?

1 will be enough if we dont concede

I think we have 3 clean sheets in 22 matches under mourinho.

 

[Phomesy]

What have I made up?
Wasn't it about a year ago we started playing shit?

A year ago we were in the middle of an injury crisis but had just tonked Dortmund 3-0 at home and were a few days away from beating them 0-1 at their gaff.

Also a year ago, we lost 4 and drew 1 out of 5 league games, a run of poor form which continued until the manager eventually got sacked.

Not sure why he's struggling with this tbh...it's bordering denial.

 

[NickHSpurs]

Not confident about this one, hoping Jose has just told our players to shoot on sight and hope a couple go in!

We're gonna win this. My reasoning is based on nothing, but if you can't be stupidly optimistic before the match what's the point.

Our really poor league form started away at Burnley on February 23rd last year. In January and February before then we won a few games unconvincingly, largely thanks to Son, but after that we hit a complete roadblock.

The 26 league matches before then our record was 20-0-6

The 12 league matches including and after that game our record was 3-2-7, and we only got one point from five league games between 23 feb and 4 apr.

All CL games were outliers, games we raised our game for when everything around was going to pot.

 

[SpunkyBackpack]

3-1 to us.

 

[juste5boys]

I've been given my friends season ticket as he can't make today so will be going to only my second game at the new stadium. The last game I went to was the Huddersfield game last season and I'm hoping for another experience like that! ?

Up until the dortmund home game we had come off 3 wins out of three with Son’s run of form. As I said in my original post our league form is about to collapse. As is United’s, Chelsea and Arsenal’s.

March is where we collapse in the league but still make top 4 and cl final.

our definitions of “shit” might vary but it’s interesting that gb isn’t prepared to acknowledge the form prior to our “shit” that still got us our preseason aims.

completely agree.

it was that Burnleygame where Poch lost it at Dean for being a ****. We never recover in the league really.

Wolves are a good side & if Jose gets his team selection wrong or the players aren't up for it this will be a really difficult game for us.

 

[dontcallme]

It’s a myth we played free flowing, wonderful football under Poch at any point to be honest. It was a beastly work rate, some quick counter and fantastic link up play between four attackers that gelled magnificently when it was going well. I’ve said it many a time, Redknapp played the best football I’ve ever seen at Tottenham for a season.

To me, if we had to select a style that represented the ‘traditional’ Tottenham, it was that. Flawed, bit dodgy at the back at times but when on song the passing and moving was different class. Parker, Modric, Bale, Kranjcar, Rafa, Defoe, Ledley, Walker...great side to watch

Agree. Lots of talk about playing good football.

Essentially fans to see their team competing. Redknapp was great at putting a team together and allowing quality attacking players to shine. It did result in a lack of cohesion at times and there were some poor games but overall the football was very good.

Poch at his best had us playing as a team more than any other I had seen at Spurs. We pressed and worked as a team and watching us squeeze the life out out of opposition was great value.

At the moment our squad is all over the place and difficult to get a cohesive line up. If we try attacking or sitting back and countering right now we’re not going to be great to watch.

Not sure we can score from sitting outside our own penalty box but we can give it a go.

I'm not having that great big heap of sensibility. Team selection makes a huge difference, despite all of them regularly participating in what people like to call 'shit' performances, if he picks the right teem, or it's set up a certain way, we'll magically and all of a sudden play well and win. People still believe that. How else can you explain the mood being so poisonous when we don't. Oh and there is a tactical set-up that would also accomplish this. It's in the Gandalf handbook of football.

You need to move with the times. Gandalf-ball, where everything magically becomes all rosy because we string two passes together, we drop Dele or he picks someones favourite player. Despite the plethora of off-field fuckups, injuries and negligence that have endured it's all put right by a wave of Gandalf's wand. And I don't mean the wooden one he carries about with him

I am going to take a guess that the team today doesn’t perform perfectly together but if Jose picked the players on the bench we would have.

Last time people were waving great big erections at the team sent out, there were hugs, high fives, streamers, them party whistle things that roll out and back in when you blow them, balloons, confetti, the lot. Dele being dropped was greeted with chants of 'for he's a jolly good fellow' aimed at Mourinho.

The we kicked off. Three minutes later so did the thread

Then the calls for Dele to come on started

I didn't have an erection last time but instead a semi does that count.

Most of the supporters have now ordered biblical amounts of viagra to see us through the rest of the season.
