Spurs away

[Swipe]

Just reading that Van Der Vaart has declared himself fit for this.

 

Think I'd rather face him than Adebayor and Defoe. He just seems to complicate things for Spurs.

[Ethan]

thats him scoring the last minute winner then

[Swipe]

 

Just think they'll do better with a two up front.

 

Anyway, we play like we did on Saturday and we have a great chance of leaving with three points.

Scarily important game already.

 

Win, and we'll have 10 points from 5 games. Lose or draw, and it will be a not very impressive 7/8 points from 5 games.

[Nebraska Red]

who's the ref?

 

that's the big question.

 

we have to go there and play some positive footy.

[Zoob]

 

It is though - the difference between winning and not winning in terms of momentum, keeping up the feel good factor is huge.

[Redray]

Away win. Nailed on.

Going slightly overboard there! If we lose at worst we'll be level with Arsenal and a point above Spurs with 3 tough away games already out of the way, not exactly crisis time.

 

Hopefully we can get 10mins out of Gerrard, though given he was saying he was exhausted after a couple of training sessions it'll probably be too soon.

Losing two in a row would kill the feelgood factor.

3 points and we're flying again.

 

I think we'll draw, and start arguing amongst ourselves about whether we're good enough to get 4th.

I think we are good enough for 3rd, is that a different arguement?

I'm not telling you.

We are fighting for 4th and will lose games and drop stupid points this season but putting so much importance on the 5th game of a 38 game season after a decent start is ridiculous. This place will be insufferable if we lose next week but remember Arsenal lost 8 times last season and comfortably finished 4th last season.

 

Spurs away is a really really tough game, A draw would be a good result for us but a defeat wouldn't be the end of the world.

I see Ledley King played the full match against Wolves - surely they won't get him fit enough to play two consecutive weekends will they?

That's pretty much summed it up more eloquently...

Could go any which way this, as things stand - i.e. no stupid injuries in training - I don't think we'll lose

Any chance of Kelly being back?

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

yeah - what I read before the Stoke game had Kelly down as a 17 Sep return. Along with 2 from gerrard, Johnson & Aurelio can't remember which 2 though

 

this is what it said

 

Injured Kelly (hamstring, 17 Sept), Gerrard (groin, 17 Sept), Aurélio (achilles, 17 Sept)

Did it specify what year for Aurelio?

[Bogman]

GloJo done his hammy apparently. More Skittles at right back then.

[Sion]

Wish people would stop using Skittles as a nickname.

 

I'd also rather Skrtel didn't play there versus Aaron Lennon and/or Gareth Bale

In fact, i'd go as far as to say i'm dead against it.

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

Did it specify what year for Aurelio?

I actually think it was a typo - it should have been Sept '17

[Cooldude]

To be fair, Skrtel hasn't been that bad at right back. Was great against Bolton, surprised by his forward play at times.

 

TBH I'd trust him there more than Johnson

 

Dunno how Kenny's gonna go about it but we can't start Carra in away games

Bit of a difference between playing there at home versus a one dimensional Bolton, and playing versus two of the fastest players in the league.

 

Flanagan for me if Kelly isn't fit.

[CarraLegend]

Why is that?
