Miercoles Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 It's on ESPN here, very early, after a very late shift, before a very early shift. I'm going to have to plan very precisely to get the right amount of sleep and enjoy the match. Kick off's at 7:45 here so I'm thinking of DVRing it. I'll be getting to bed around 4:00am after work, getting up at 8:15, watching the first half, fast-forwarding through half-time, watching the second half, showering, and leaving for work by 10. It can be done. It must be done. Even trickier on the west coast man. 4:45am is fucked whether you stay up for it or get up early, as I'm more of a noon-riser usually. It's such a rare opportunity to get to watch a match on my actual tv though, so it's just a question of whether I stay up or try to get a few hours of sleep before kickoff. Luckily I have f***-all to do on Saturday so I can just zonk out after. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deputy Dawg UK Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 thought Holtby looked pretty good Sunday.... From some of his reactions seems to have settled in well at Spurs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
leffe186 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 thought Holtby looked pretty good Sunday.... From some of his reactions seems to have settled in well at Spurs Hope he starts. Mind you, if we don't have any centre-forwards it won't make much difference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I only saw a little bit of the game but Holtby's movement looked class. Also his accent is mental, I know he has English parents (or an English parent) but for living in Jormany all his life there's very little German twang in his English accent.

Wish England could have nicked him. Even just for all the Daily Fail reader reactions when we have him, Zaha, Sterling playing in the same team.

He is a product of the German system like This kid is meant to be good (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diego_De_Girolamo), opted to play for Italy over England despite being born in Chesterfield.

Despite? Because he was born in Chesterfield, probably. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

leffe186 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Norwegian newspapers got Sandro, Kaboul and Defoe out for this one, massive miss for them. They're def out, Sandro for the season, don't expect to see the others for three weeks at least. At this rate, I don't expect to see Ade for three weeks either. Other than that, we're pretty good to go. It's the smallest injury list I think I've ever seen us have, but it is our best CB, our best DM and our leading scorer. If Ade's back I fancy us tomorrow (though we're always terrible on these early kickoffs IIRC), but if he's not, then we'll struggle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I was surprised to see how good Holtby's English was then i realised his Father is English. Shame we couldn't have knicked him, Wilshere and Holtby would have been canny. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Hate the early kickoff, but really excited for this one. I quite like the Saturday lunchtime ones. Get up and have a bacon sandwich, enjoy some football then still have most of your weekend left. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
