HaydnNUFC Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Now that the excitement of the WC is over, we can concentrate on the mundane PL and club of ours. Who will spout the deluded Geordie waffle on Sky first? Can we score more than 0 goals? So many questions. Meh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've injuries to Wanyama, Lamela, Foyth, Sissoko and Winks and the WC players you wouldn't expect to start...maybe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Comfortable defeat. I don’t think so, probably one of those games where we’re in the game throughout but they just have a bit more quality to get a goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 We nullified them and probably would've got a result in the game last season had Shelvey not had a brainfart. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElDiablo Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 I mean all the negativity on transfers aside and looking at it purely from a footballing perspective, we should be looking to win this and should be confident in doing so. I know it was a long time ago but hopefully the players and fans keep a bit of residual confidence from the Chelsea home game last season. It's a similar sort of occasion.

Ashley has sapped a lot of the momentum and enthusiasm stemming from that Chelsea game, the fat twat. Agree with you though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Are they going to actually be that bad off? I can’t see them needing a full pre-season to regain fitness since they’ll have been match fit all summer. 2-3 weeks break, I reckon they’ll still be ok.

The Prophet Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 They're simply a better team than us, I'd be a happy man if we took anything from this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowlie63 Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 We will be playing Spurs reserves or a team made up of half fit players so 0-0 or maybe a flukey 1-0 win or maybe a devastating 5-0 defeat , I honestly can't call this and the way things are at the moment ,I really couldn't give a shit .

Honestly just so sick of the all the transfer stuff. I shouldn't but I still get a little bit hopeful every window only to have it cruelly extinguished in ever more creative and ludicrous ways. The game is played on the pitch at the end of the day, it'll be a relief to get the window shut and just on with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sick of the window, it's bollocks and always will be when the fat wanker remains. If the Magpie Group/AO organise something, I'm on board though.

sbnufc Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 I reckon unless hell freezes over the WC players are going to start. Lloris, Alderwiereld, Vertonghen, Trippier, Rose, Alli, Dembele, Dier & Kane havent played in any match since the WC Add Eriksen, Son and Sanchez who have been in Spurs' pre-season and isnt that basically their whole (usual) team anyway? Only 3 of 'em with any sort of match fitness Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Reckon they’ll go for the first half blitz given lack of fitness. Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a draw. If Kane plays and gets any sort of positive reaction from our lot I’ll be sick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odear Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 We’ve made a few changes to the team, they’re exactly the same. There can be a case to make that we deserved something from each of the fixtures against them last season. We definitely had chances at Wembley. Normally I’d be positive going into a fixture like this but we’ve been so off the boil in pre season, it’s hard to see how things will suddenly click.

Stifler Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 With them having key players injured or just coming back from the WC we should be looking at this game as a very possible 3 points, or at least a draw. A shit transfer window, an unhappy Rafa, what seemed like an unfit squad, and the possibility of Ashley fucking us over again and selling Lascelles, well I’d be over the moon if we could snatch a draw.
