Just what I was thinking.

[Baird of the land]

Surprised we didn’t go 5 at the back like last time against them.

Bench is still ok imo even if we are missing the likes of tella/Redmond and livramento.

[CB Fry]

Nice line up. 

Still a big job on our hands. The likelihood of a draw I quite low I feel.

We had a stronger bench against Coventry though. Lol!

[LiberalCommunist]

Ready to mash some Spuds!

Come On Saints, lets make the next legend!

Can't complain with the starting XI , perhaps too attacking but on paper looks a good side , still expecting 3-1 defeat 

[Mr X]

Not sure about elounousi seems another dejenepo! still it's a much better team than the fa Cup first half 

[Saint_clark]

Worth noting that Spurs have played exactly the same side that played their FA cup game whereas we are much fresher. Could also work against us if their players are sharper but I'm looking for the positives.

[Saint_clark]

Love how BT sneak the talk back to Spurs when they're supposed to be focussing on us. Talk about KWP and then say "he'll have to be good tonight because of who he's up against..." Immediately drone on about Son and Kane.

[Baird of the land]

Any streams of tonight's game? Tried hesgoal but doesn't seem to be working for me at least(ignore me its working now).

[Saint Fan CaM]

In my dreams I see Saints taking them apart with a two goal shock lead in the first 30 minutes, following up with a third in the first 10 minutes of the 2nd half. In reality we lose 3-0, but put up a good fight which is talked about briefly. Next.

[Saint_clark]

Really don't understand why players can't walk out together because of Covid when they line up right next to each other anyway. 

[Gastronaut]

Stream seems decent: http://1stream.top/soccer/MjA4MzYwNDA2

[DT]

Oh god it’s Glen Hoddle on commentary

BT 'tater says Redmond absent out with ankle injury

Ralph says he took a knock and they decided not to risk him with another big game coming up Saturday. Just rested basically.

[igsey]

COYSaints!!

[Saint_clark]

That's a corner!?

[DT]

Oh Che. How do you miss that. 

[igsey]

Should have been a corner but hard for the ref to tell. Lino should get that right though.

Ref is David Coote, have we had him before?

[Saint_clark]

Looked like he was surprised by it, expected the defender to make a clearance maybe?

[CB Fry]

Elyounoussi has started well.

[stknowle]

Has to bury that. No conviction.

Definitely. Couple of really good balls in so far, looks up for it.

[AlexLaw76]

You just know they will score in their first period of dominance 

[Mr X]

Forster lax there 

[suewhistle]

 This is worrying, when is the first Spurs breakaway goal?

[Sheaf Saint]

Think up your own song FFS.

He’s like a slow Lloris.

[Saint_clark]

Spurs already going down so easy.

[Saint_clark]

Miles offside.

[The Cat]

High line working well there.

Commentator was too busy celebrating the goal to notice the flag.

[coalman]

Our high line gives me kittens

[Mr X]

Hoijberg another one that spit his dummy out for a move

[OttawaSaint]

Offside!

 

Phew!

but, another pair of underpants ruined...

Darke isn't it? Such a patronising twat 

[Saint NL]

Well offside, it was obvious but Hoddle was pissing his pants about Spurs scoring 😂

[Saint_clark]

I f**king hate Emerson Royale so much.

Didn't even need a flag, it was so blatant I don't know how he didn't spot it himself.

[Saint_clark]

WHAT A f**king SAVE

[The Cat]

1-1 for bad misses now.

[DT]

Brilliant save Forster. (Again). McCarthy would have been nowhere

[AlexLaw76]

Great save Forster 

Acres of space

He's a skate. It was so obviously offside that Spurs never celebrated.
