OMT - TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR VS southampton

[Jurgen the German]

I propose the mods change KD's avatar to Rupert Lowe if we lose on Sunday.

Will Bale be booed?

 

[Jurgen the German]

Will Bale be booed?

Can't see why they would boo him. They were a lower league club when we bought Bale, they can't blame him for taking the opportunity to go to a Premier League club. Can't remember him slagging them off when he left either.

 

[Mumorn]

They didn't boo Walcott or Chamberlain so I doubt they'd boo Bale.

 

[Jurgen the German]

We need to make sure we don't give away any penalties in this game.

Had a peek at what they're thinking:

Gulp!!!

Bale to rip us a new one

Adkins farewell, most likely.

Bale to score but we'll beat then 2-1 keep the faith

If we get five we might get a draw.

We did draw 4-4 and 3-3 with them over the years. The also have a history of absolutely stuffing us from time to time. My old brain can remember scores like 6-0, 6-1, 7-2, 5-1, 5-3 and a few others - and they weren't wins either!

We could really, really get hammered, the must be rubbing their hands with glee...

We will score, but we will also concede lots of goals.

Lennon, Bale, Defoe, Dembele will have an absolute field day. Let's be honest.

They will all need to be off their game, and we will need to learn how to defend in 8 days to have even the slightest chance. They are in a different universe to us.

Spurs have never scored a goal at St Mary's, but I fully expect that bit of trivia to be smashed to **** next week.

Is this the thread for wet fannies FFS, we'll be fine

Tin hat prepared for after the game

This fixture has ended up in a 1-0 Saints win the last 3 times. Spuds have lost every trip they've made to St Mary's.

Having said that, we will get battered. I'm not a gambler but this does look a bit like easy money.

Spurs are good, better than us obviously, but not as good as Man Utd who we perhaps should have beaten, so there's always hope. If that Norwich side can beat Arsenal, we can beat a big team too.

reading all these comments is like we the city and united games never happened.

we will get a point or three out of this with a last minute goal from mayuka.

No they both happened and we lost both. The Arsenal, Everton and West Ham games also happened. As did Fulham and Villa.

If he is fit, I wouldn't mid seeing Shaw at left back. Our defence can't really get much worse can it?

Wasn't Bale the same age as Shaw when he started playing for Spurs?

Bale had turned 18 when he started actually playing at Spurs (only just) Had a couple of games for us at 16 though I think and the best part of a season at 17 in the CCC.

Frustratingly Shaw has got injured again, and will miss the England U18 games.

Bale, Adebayor and Dembele rested to face us - oh crud! If we can lose by less than 2 goals that would not be too bad. Need to ditch all this 433 garbage and get 10 behind the ball, Chaplow in the middle with the skipper's armband and get in their faces. Hit Rickie as early as we can with Mayuka picking up on the second ball. If we try and out-football Spurs I can only conclude that a) our management team are clueless and b) we'll lose by far a margin of far more than 2 goals.

Seriously, I grew up watching Lawrie's teams in the 80s and I'd love for us to play like that in the top flight but we have to face realities and stay in the league first.

Reckon we could sneak a win... Spurs are currently losing to Maribor (Slovenian Team)

Erm that's cos they are resting players to tonk us with.

All saints fans going Sunday, listen to how Spurs sing "go marching in.." and learn, that's how it's supposed to be sung. Not banging on the backboards of the Northam at 100mph!

And on the pitch, we'll get beat 3-1

Or maybe we should sing to drown out Spurs fans? As I don't particularly want to listen to Spurs fans at any time and certainly not on Sunday. I've never really heard Spurs fans sing that much anyway.

 

[Mumorn]

It's nice to scare opposition fans.

 

[thfcsteff]

So frustrated with tonight i'm going to start the OMT now. I doubt Dembele will be fit so.....

Very interesting side...quite like the look of it...

Had a peek at what they're thinking:

I enjoy reading the opposing fans views, and that probably took some effort to post so cheers.

About 3 minutes. :-"

 

[raboner]

ffs justin timberlake in an OMT!? never thought i'd see the day.. we are fudged.

 

[rosenthal]

Pray Dembele is back
Glad Bale will be as well
Hope Adebayor is ready
Lloris should remain in goal
Would love to see Caulker and Vertonghen in the middle, long term
Falque?

 

[Spurs7891]

Hardly the match to play after our loss to Chelsea. We have a shyte record at Southampton in recent years. We have lost our last 6 league matches there and have not won there since 1999 ! So, another jinx for AVB to overcome.

 

[DubaiSpur]

Falque looked promising. Worth a shot in AM? I'd like to hope so. But, putting that aside,

------------------Lloris-----------------

Walker--Caulker---Vertonghen--Naughton

----------Sandro-----Dembele---------

Lennon----------Dempsey----------Bale

-----------------Defoe---------------

If Dembele can't make it, I'd quite like to see Verts given a chance alongside Sandro, with Gallas coming in at the back. In any case, we'll sneak a win, since I have a gut feeling that Lambert, Ramirez et al will cause us some problems. 3-2 Spurs. COYS!

 

[AuroRaman]

Wouldn't you rather Ade on top?

Filth.

Ramirez is out for another 5 weeks with injury.
