Get his eye in for next week.
Before Friday & yesterday's results I would of been inclined to say a 1-0 Spurs win.
However,
2-7 to Spurs with Kane bagging a double hat-trick to break his August premier league duck.

1-0 or 2-0 scrappy win for me. I think the players will still need to get used to Wembley.
Got a problem wit dat bruv?

No I agree we still need to get used to Wembley, hopefully playing there doesn't affect our away form as well though?
Do'h. Yes, of course (and I'm a bloody season ticket holder as well) :avbfacepalm:.No I agree we still need to get used to Wembley, hopefully playing there doesn't affect our away form as well though?
Fuck why tell him.....he'd have been standing outside Wembley on his own
slim jeans yes. Skinny no. My calves would collapse in on themselves in skinny jeansYou're both mere whipper snappers!
I bet at least one of you wears skinny jeans....
Any team that shows a steady run of performances and form. Defensivly good and able to get goals , wil be there at the end. We will be one of them teams I'm sure. start today, good performance and a win....0-2 Spurs....COYS.
Shelve stacker at Tesco then?
Up early, couple of hours in the garden, beer o'clock (12:30, we're an hour later than you) any minute. Steak and asparragus and a bottle of red round the corner...
Fuck, I love the first game of the season. Every year I think I've fallen a little more out of love with football but there's still a real magic to the day, a child-like excitement. FA Cup final day used to be similar as a kid (but different due to Spurs not usually being involved. A lot of was down to the fact that in the 70s there was virtually no live football on, just MOTD or the regional Sunday equivalent on ITV, Match of the Week in East Anglia, The Big Match in London...) but that buzz has died off over the years with the game now available wall-to-wall 24/7.
Opening day is a more cerebral high, the feeling you daren't mention but keep just below the surface that anything is possible. People had that same feeling in August 1960, and look how that played out, maybe just maybe it might be like that this season. Year in, year out, the disappointment of the previous year did nothing to temper the thrill of opening day.
And yes I've got it again, I'm getting a little tingle running up and down my spine writing this, hairs standing up on my forearms, the whole nine yards. Maybe just maybe...
Second hand ticking round to 12:30 now. COME ON YOU SPURS!
YIDS!

I think Poch will go 4-2-3-1 with Dier at RB and Sonny starting.
Wheeeey... Fucking gutted I am in the opposite corner to the away end though. What do I do when we score?!
Is Wanyama out?
