Welcome to Spurs, mate. Are you going to the game (if Covid allows it to happen)?
Yes !
Leeks from Brittany, of course, not from Wales !
My english is too poor, je continue in french. Non, je ne serai pas du déplacement, il est vrai que la priorité est le match de L1, contre Nice, puisque nous avons la chance d’être déjà qualifiés. Bien avant vos malheurs avec le covid, il est probable que notre entraîneur fera beaucoup tourner (il a déjà commencé un peu à le faire dimanche dernier). Avec notre goal remplaçant, Salin, vous avez vos chances ! Centrez, centrez, et c’est bon pour vous ! Cette coupe peut paraître anecdotique, cependant, au prochain tour, question adversaires, il y aura quelques clubs costauds.
une précision quant au programme rennais donné par Jimmy d : Rennes a un match de Coupe de France contre Lorient le 18 décembre. En cas de qualification rennaise, le tour suivant aura lieu le 2 ou 3 janvier. Bonnes guérisons !
 
Whoever is going on Thursday, bring yer boots, you might get a game!

...and wear a mask, so you don't rule yourself out of Sunday's game too!
 
We are +2 atm as far as GD is concerned, so it depends what some feel is insurmountable.....

Even if they won 4-0, a 2-0 home win against Rennes isn't out of the question considering it's a dead rubber for them anyway.

I know some can't see past binning the game off (and therefor the comp), but qualifying and then evaluating the landscape in Feb is the far smarter approach.
It was a dead rubber for Mura as well

There's nothing like a good crepe.

Merci beaucoup pour l'avis 'centrez, centrez'! Malheureusement nous ne centrons pas beaucoup en ce moment! Les deux equipes seront plus faibles que normal, je crois. Moi, je serais la - avec mon reve de victoire 4-0 a nous :)

This guy reckons they'll be fielding a weakened team, including their reserve goalie and his advice is to get the ball into the box as much as possible. Sounds like he doesn't have much faith in the keeper. Are you reading this, Conte?
 
Completely agree mate and I’m one of the biggest critics when it comes to our awful trophy record, but this 3rd rate almost inter toto cup style competition really isn’t worth shit. We finish 2nd in this group, we still have too play a 2 leg play off game just to qualify for the knockouts. What the fuck competition does that ? It’s awful.
I didn’t know it was so daft and convoluted.
 
Yes !

Apparently the players affected are some of Conte's most important and inform players.. Suggest that could be Son, Dier, Skipp, Emerson and Gill (he was down as ill on Sunday) maybe?

Tomorrow's game was always going to be tough, whether Rennes play a weakened team since they are group winners I'm not sure.

Going on whim as I don't know who will be available, and I think the Brighton game will be postponed..

Gollini
Tanganga - Sanchez - Rodon
Doherty - Winks - Hojbjerg - Davies
Bergwijn - Ndombele
Kane

Let’s hope Rennes are motivated to play strength and win due to prestige of the stadium etc. that 11 above should be weak enough to get the job done and fail to win convincingly. Let’s finish in the CL places and win a domestic cup
 
With more Premier League games likely postponed I think we need to exit this cup and use the extra midweek games to catch-up. Would hate to be 2 league games down against everyone else and still in 3 cups.
