Crystal Palace v Tottenham Hotspur (Jan 4th - 8pm) *sigh*

I was in Berlin - which is just grim

But Hamburg was very very nice. Had a little look around St Pauli and their stadium there

I've never heard anyone describe Berlin as grim before.

I absolutely adore Berlin. Hamburg's nice enough, but it's not Berlin or Munich.

We've given up a few 'must not lose' tokens recently by dropping 5 points to Brentford and Villa... so it feels like we've backed ourselves into a corner of playing 'must wins' for the foreseeable future....

Unfortunate that, 'cos after tonight, we've got Arse and City coming up in quick succession in the PL ...

We have a trip to Fulham sandwiched between the City games... that's far from being a gimme.

Will be watching tonight. With it being my first Spurs game I've seen since before the World Cup as I've been out in Valencia (lovely, do go if you get the chance!) for 3 months and 3 weeks in Germany (don't go, it's bleak) until today I was going to catch up on the recent previous two games but think I'll give that a miss.

Been reading the forum from afar, and it doesn't make for pleasent reading in the slightest.

Palace always a tough one at their place. I'm hopeful I don't see more pathetic whimper like I did in the last game I watched of England's Vs France.

Good luck all. Might be an early night at 8.45 for me

We've all been on holiday before mate.

next time you're in gloomy germany, let's see you in frankfurt. we also have a stadium there

 

[Matt1882]

Let's see I bet 2-0

If you put £50 on that at 3/5 you would win £0

Great, proper embarrassment time

 

[Macch]

Spence and Sarr start!!!

Spoiler

 

[stevee]

I'd totally agree if we had Richarlison, Kulsevski, Bentancur and Bissouma available tonight.
About £150m worth of starting 11 players and 40% of the outfield team there.

We're in bad shape here.

True, but even with them we're way too passive.

Wow.... The Dele goal... and to think, it's only 2 weeks shy of 6 years and a lifetime ago!!

Likewise, it's a fantastic city. I lived there for the best part of two years pre-Covid, and had visited enough times previously. No pretence, not quite the 'hip' place it was a few years back (and that's a good thing, as far as I am concerned) but it has something unspoken that makes it unique. I can understand why someone would think it 'grim' initially - the architecture and apparent open, desolate spaces can give that impression but easily found one layer down is loads of life. I miss it very much.

Cologne and Hamburg are great too, imo, but they don't give me what Berlin does.

Is the New Paint Drying Simulatior out yet? Might play that instead.

Spurs version changes colour as it dries, from Lilly white to hues of stale shit.

 

[Bazali]

Sounds like a keeper for sure !

Especially after he tripped her……








Only kidding!

I agree, N5 Spur.
There is this German song "Das ist die Berliner Luft, Luft, Luft" and that's it.
When I'm in Berlin, I'm immediately enthusiastic.
History comes alive immediately.
An extraordinary city.

If you could watch today's match or repeatedly slam a car door on your fingers which would be the better choice. Asking for a friend.

Off topic but was in Berlin three weeks ago and loved it. Baden-Baden was great too. Munich a bit meh.
