Why does this game matter? we don’t need it
I’m more concerned about injuries and recovery time for Blackburn n Reading
Last thing we need is 2 hours plus penalties

Why does an F.A/ Cup last 16 game at home v Spurs under the lights matter?
Nothing if you don't like excitement in football.
COYRAWW!

 

[BladesMadGreeny]

With Egan out and Clark probably not going to be fully recovered in time I'm going to say..

GK Davies

back 3 of Gordon Anel Robinson

WB's of Bogle and Osborn

Midfield of Doyle, Coulibaly, Fleck

Mcatee

Jebbo

Gordon!? Absolutely dismal.

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

If, and it's a big if, we are at em from the off, showing "no quarter taken, no quarter given", we have a chance. Spurs show up and play like they can, well, we lose. Maybe they wont like it "up em" as a certain corporal would say. Either way the result goes I'm sure the lads will put in a shift and do the club proud.

My short and medium term financial sustainability of my club is more important than this now devalued competition that we wouldn’t win ( at this time ) anyway

 

[Greenwich Blade]

My Spurs-supporting mate is convinced they will lose. I told him that's what I like about Spurs fans - they're as miserable and pessimistic as we are.

We have been conditioned to expect the worst.

We have been conditioned to expect the worst.

The worst? Try League 1 for a few seasons

 

[jono_t2000]

People that belittle Kane's achievements because he hasn't won a trophy are a bit odd.

Apparently loyalty is meaningless in football these days. Its all about the trophies.

I wonder in 10yrs time how many people will talk about Fabian Delphs trophies for Man City compared to Kane's myriad of goal scoring records.

Even our Rhian Brewster has a champions league winners medal.

Piss on that Harry Kane

 

[1973Blade]

Preston were the last league team United dans have seen in the FA Cup in 2018.

Oh dear sweet Jesus - I'm dreading this

 

[fifty shades of blade]

Gutted with our team tonight

 

[Blackestnite]

Very negative.

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

Interesting!

 

[jono_t2000]

Gutted with our team tonight

I'm fine with this, good opportunity to see different combinations.

Not looking to win the cup. Just enjoy it for what it is

 

[AnotherSpur]

A stronger Spurs team than most of us were expecting.

 

[jim2007]

Very negative.

I prefer ‘concentrating on the league.’

 

[BladesOnToast]

The magic of the FA Cup eh

 

[Camden Blade]

Son, Richarlison and Lucas Moura upfront for Spurs. We have Billy as a lone striker. I'll be surprised if the tie isn't over by half-time.

 

[Keen Blade]

Basically Sarr Son & Richarlison versus our defence

 

[Keen Blade]

Hope Clark can play in our next 2 games

 

[Blade58]

Not winning the cup, well this year anyway so for me rest as many as poss for Satdi.
Nothing should get in the way of trying to pull in £150m to get out of the shit we're in financially imo

One never knows anyway, we might surprise a few tonight?

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Hecky is suspended from touchline for 3 games starting tonight. So both managers are not in the dugout

 

[coolasanidiot]

Hold out til 60 then bring the big guns on. Looking forward to seeing this youthful midfield. Well done Hecky.

 

[Harry's Game]

If it’s not all over by half time Spurs have to ask serious questions about themselves

 

[robbiez666]

I think we might get mullered. I'm dubious whether Coulibaly is good enough but I'll guess we'll see. Great reward for Brooks. If we lose a CB to injury then George in filling in!

Can we not contact Spurs and agree a respectable 2:0 defeat?

 

[Seth Rollins]

I have no problem with this team selection.
We need to make sure we play Spurs twice next season in the league.
