Tim and the players will be so hyped up, knowing it's their last meaningful match of the season and a chance at redemption , and come out of the gates really pumped up and ready to make it a historic night.

Sadly, this is our last game of any substantial meaning this season (March 20th, mind you), epitomised by series of preposterous, poisonous decisions which ultimately led to a complete implosion from top to bottom
I sincerely hope we can go out and if nothing else, show a bit of fight and desire. Fuck the player meetings, double agents, and back-stabbers - go out and play for the shirt, you over-paid mercenary wankers, and show some respect to the club and fans!
Stranger things have happened
4-4-facking-2 from the onset - Ade and Soldado in front of Eriksen, Townsend, Paulinho and Sandro

2-2 Against a team who haven't lost in ages (at home even longer) and haven't conceded 2 in ages also,
Defeat, yeah, but I'm proud
They should've been more economical and just put up a tweet that says, "Many players injured. Fucked."
From wiki:
"The 1–6–3 formation was first utilised by Japan at the behest of General Yoshijirō Umezu in 1936. Famously, Japan defeated the heavily favoured Swedish team 3–2 at the 1936 Olympics with the unorthodox 1–6–3 formation,
before going down 0–8 to Italy.
The formation was dubbed the "kamikaze" formation sometime in the 1960s when former US national team player Walter Bahr used it for a limited number of games as coach of the Philadelphia Spartans to garner greater media and fan attention for the struggling franchise."
To be fair...Some of our shapes have been so shambolic, we have looked like that formation.
-------------------Llorris--------------------
-----------------------------------------Rose (daydreaming while rest of team spring offside/high line trap)
Lennon-Daws-Sandro-Pauly--Vert-----
----Townsend---Soldado--Chadli--------
What's that you say? I only have 5 in midfield instead of 6? Nope. Siggy is next to Vert. Hard to spot but he's there.

I would actually prefer Archer in goal. We are not going to win realistically and Archer could do with learning to pick the ball out of the net when he eventually becomes 1st team.
Naughton trying to take his chance at RB is great, Walker needs to look over his shoulder, still early days but Naughton is improving with every game, genuine competion for places will push us on.
Bentaleb, superb performance. He was very dissaplined, didn't commit to high up the pitch, broke up play, allways available for the pass. Chadli another strong performance from him on the back of a strong first half against the scum, holds the ball up well, threat running at defence (would like to see a bit more though). Fryers big game for him, he must have been bricking it at the start, came through with an accomplished performance, that was his biggest game of his life and to come out of it as one of our better players he has to be buzzing.
Watching Spurs continues to age me.

This game has- take mushrooms an hour before kickoff- written all over it!
A suggestion as an alternative to watching the game.
Even victory will have in it an echo of being cursed.
And Chadli took both goals extremely well. First one was a superb finish. Second one, instinctive. And to think, our £26m striker would have probably missed it :avbfacepalm:
Always rated the guy, scored some great goals for FC Twente. Big, strong, powerful, great with both feet. Should be starting given our current lack of form players in the final third.

David Pleat was on my flight. He seemed annoyed he was put at the back next to the bog and was simply demolishing the red wine. I hope he made it through customs.
