Pre-Match Tottenham (H) Sat 22nd August

[davewfilms]

Think we.will win 3-1 not to much to fear from this relegation fodder.

 

[Gee Bee]

S***, that's a decent team! Apart from their goalie!

Van de Ven hasn’t played a minute pre season, Maddison won’t be playing & Kudos still injured

 

[HMDBFC]

Michael Oliver referees this game. He has replaced Anthony Taylor as the EPL senior official apparently. Big club again...

 

[True Bee]

Who cares who's injured for them, no pundits ever mention injuries for us even when we had no right and left backs for ages, let's just put them to the sword

 

[stevendamico]

Spurs have spent a rumoured £237m in this window on 7 incomings, of which 4-5 will be likely starters. Even if we start 2 new players, that would give minimal disruption to our style of play. Spurs will have better players than us in most positions but our cohesion, with a smaller squad to be coached, ought to give us an advantage, particularly if De Zerbi tinkers during the game.

Very much disagree they will have better players in most positions. We hold the edge at CF, RB, probably LB the way KLP is playing. Our wingers are dangerous. They will not have van der ven and I think our CBs are their equals removed off that. We have edge at keeper.

 

[Banana]

Spurs have a load of new faces who will take time to gel add to that they have lost Spence and that thug Romero (sure Igor will have raised a smile when he saw that) and we owe them a drubbing.

I agree. This is the perfect time to play that shower.

OK more highly rated players, particularly in midfield; but I think Van der Ven, Porro, Maddison, Kudos have had few or no pre-season minutes, they will probably start Richarlison up front. Our advantage will be the whole team playing together to plan.

Agree! They have some good players. We have the better TEAM.

 

[Oldboy TW8 0AW]

I am looking forward to the start of the season (as always).
Brentford are going surprise a few more pundits, but not us supporters
Similar squad as last weekend please.
COYB's

 

[EastBilneyBee]

I am concentrating on Rennes first then Frankfurt, by then we will be up to speed to knock the living daylight out of Spurs, not just talking about the team, us supporters need the pre season warm up as well

....must be the Norfolk air, but I've got on Sky super6, Bees to beat Spuds 3-1, and that was before the Rennes & Frankfurt games

 

[tinman]

I hope Sengaré doesn’t give Oliver an opportunity to brandish a yellow card early on.

 

[VML87]

Will be a tough game. They’ve improved their spine and will be keen to push on from last year.

 

[Edmundo]

Every game in the Premier League is a tough one. But we should be confident of doing well against teams like Spurs.

A bigger club to us in every aspect, but they are still an embarrassment.

We only got one point against them last season…

 

[Bridge Bee]

We only got one point against them last season…

And didn’t score a goal.

We’re well overdue against them especially at home.

What you thinking 16th ?

 

[beebopalula]

All prem games are fine margins. If we take our chances we will win. We are creating lots of opportunities. No silly mistakes please. Don't worry about launching the ball if a pass isn't on at the back.

 

[TorbayBee]

First game always high profile but not sure it’s significant across the season BUT having said that it could put down a massive marker for us. I admit to being ridiculously excited and nervous . Hotel booked, dinner booked come on guys make it perfect!! COYB

Yes, when would they need to be signed in order to play on Saturday?

 

[TOXIC BEE]

Midday Friday is the cut off I’m pretty sure, so I’d say very unlikely either is signed in time.

Even if a deal concluded tomorrow, which is unlikely in extreme, they wont have trained with team before game Saturday.

 

[mattybscrystalball]

The home Tottenham game was almost as bad as the home Arsenal game last year. In fact, I think those two were the candidates for the worst games I watched. I thought these big clubs would come to play. Hilarious to watch them waste time and cynically foul for over 90 minutes.

Here’s hoping we get a win at the weekend.

The home arsenal game where we were superb and equalised late on in a brilliant atmosphere?

Looks like KAs pre match press conference is tomorrow.

The Arsenal game? Surely not. Perhaps our best home performance last season, along with the Man Utd and Liverpool games!

From the match day guide on the official site:

"For our fans in the west stand, wave the flags placed on your seat (please leave your flag on your seat before you leave the stadium)"

Have i missed the joke?

No joke, I just find it amusing that they're trying to orchestrate some flag waving, and then want the flags back at the end of the game...

Probably better than finding them on the side of the road all across the borough of Hounslow.

Who cares who's injured for them, no pundits ever mention injuries for us

But we are not pundits, we are just discussing the potential line up.

 

[Griffingreen]

And held ready for the next game

 

[upnorthbee]

But we are not pundits, we are just discussing the potential line up.

Exactly, what a weird post

I think it's probably a good time to play them, they still have a lot of quality but our team is a top half prem team with a major signing for central midfield added... and touch wood no other injuries. They are a bunch of quality individuals still on a whole and the more injuries they have he merrier.

 

[Banana]

Sorry, but I am missing your point. What's wrong with wanting the flags aback the end of the game? I've obviously missing something obvious here....

OK, it's just me then.

I hope so. It's a bit of a non-sequitor after all.

 

[Beelieve!]

Is the Tifo ready?

Err, my seat tips up and is next to an exit. At a rough guess 40 fans will trample over my flag at the end of the game….

 

[Oldboy TW8 0AW]

no last minute injuries in training today.
Let's go !
COYB'S from 5.30pm tomorrow.
Let's all get behind the team tomorrow from the start.
Final destiny in May 2027 is Europe season 2027-28

 

[GABS]

If completed today, these lads won't be available tomorrow, right?

They would need to be registered by midday today.

 

[Jezybee]

Struggling to understand why there seems to be concern about Spurs signing players who might be eligible to play on Saturday.

They’ll not have had a proper pre-season at their previous club and have had no time to integrate into their new team. Even if they do sign in time, they’re highly unlikely to start, or even play. If they sign in time, play on Saturday and do well, it’s just random noise.

Let’s enjoy that we have a settled, almost completely fit, and exceptionally talented squad. Whoever starts, we will cause Spurs problems all over the pitch and if things need changing we’ll have options off the bench.
Very, very excited for tomorrow.

I'm interested rather than concerned

 

[GABS]

Are both the club shops open pre match tomorrow?

Website is a little unclear if it's 10am or 2 hours pre kick off

 

[AdeBees]

I know there might be some twist and turns in the next three weeks but I couldn't wait any longer

I can't remember being this excited for the season to start for a while. Obviously first promotion season.

We have a large squad, a good sign. However I will still be pleased when transfer window is closed. This has to be the best time to play Spurs. We have had a magnificent pre-season and Spurs are still developing their squad. I think we will need a cup run to keep all in the camp happy. Got tickets for Birmingham not the best away ground.

It’s listed as 1:30.

The one by the A4 is now the storage unit.
