Mattio

Problem with this is he is the most fouled player in the PL, he's great at drawing a foul even if there's minimal contact, whoever was marking him would end up with a yellow after 15 mins and be on a tightrope the rest of the match

I've had a quiet 20 minutes at work so taken a look at trains, I'm going to go for the 10:13 from Kings Cross as the connection is a Greater Anglia which is a train like THIS rather than one like THIS

If you use a ticket splitting website I found tickets from London £25pp, annoyingly no direct trains out of Liverpool Street. I'm just hoping they put on enough carriages for the crowds, I remember going up a few seasons back and about 400 of us squeezed into a 4 carriage Pacer equivalent with no loo for over an hour.

I'd also be interested after Adrian if poss - TA!

Nice to see opinions are just as divided when it comes to fashion on here

2pm, f*cking hell did they go via John 'o Grots?

Adam Johnson

FYI for anyone going to the game, apparently Spurs have a "no bag over A4 size" policy like they now do at Wembley and also have no bag drop area, so anyone coming straight from work, leave your stuff in the office. EDIT: More on it here: https://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/the-stadium/plan-your-visit/key-information/bag-policy-and-prohibited-items/

It was showing as sold out at 14:45.

They did that to make me look stupid

Tottenham tickets sold out before they got to general sale, ticket office f*ck up once again...

9000 in N17 then, yes? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Let's hope we take the full spurs allocation and shout the house down...

No, span past it

After chasing up a reply I finally so have one from Matthew, see below

Not a bad shout but I'd go Adams over Obafemi, I think we need the pace against their defence rather than strength

I do wonder if Ings will be rested (either as a sub or coming off early) I obviously have no idea what his current fitness is but we don't want him picking up any niggles for the second half of the season

I emailed Matthew Silvester who runs the ticket office about this 2 weeks ago and didn't even get a courtesy email back, the lack of respect for fans at the club right now is unbelievable.

A bunch of tickets just became available on the OS! Get on there now!!

Who'd have thought tickets for Palace away on a cold wet Tuesday night would be gold dust?!

F*cking hell I thought that was the squad then

I've avoided the pod for a while because I don't like to listen or come on here when we're on a bad run (unlike many of the listeners). Can't say I agreed with Lucy regarding Long, his energy is the tonic we need at times when we're up against it and when you have a Striker who actually plays like a striker and scores it's a real benefit, I think that's part of the reason he's shone of recent weeks. It reminds me a lot of Beattie and Ormerod (or a ****e Mane and Pelle!).

Interesting to see RH admit Adams is unhappy, hopefully that will change with a start and goal against the "udders

Since Ralph Hasenhüttl's first game in charge of Southampton exactly a year ago today, they have lost five Premier League games in which they have scored the opening goal, the most of any side. (@OptaJoe)

We need to bring in some proven match winners, experienced players who don't switch off after 70 mins match after match. 1 new RB and 1 new CB MINIMUM.
