Stop pretending you're Spurs, you tragic lying wanker - at least own up for once in your pathetic life and admit what you did.Two poor results on the bounce. We've won two game in our last six games since we had that glorious night in Manchester.
Knocked out of the FA Cup in the process but in that time we have made it through to the last 16 of this European competition where we meet one of the best teams in Europe right now in Dortmund.
Let's put these two past London derby results behind us and push on. I wouldn't mind seeing some rotation for this one but stay relatively strong.
LlorisFull backs come back in as they tend to do in this rotation. Dier and Dembele to start central midfield, if we're going to progress in this tournament this away tie is going to be the important one. I'd bring Chadli in for Alli who didn't look fully fit today. Lamela has to start considering he's our top goalscorer in the competition and seems to flourish under the lights.
Trippier - Alderweireld - Wimmer - Davies
Dier - Dembele
Lamela - Eriksen - Chadli
Kane
This will be a good test for our players with the heights of the Champions League potentially on the horizon. Dortmund will be there next season and we may even end up in the same group as them. They will go strong for this, perhaps rotating one or two but their big guys in Reus, Aubamayeng, Mhkitaryan will all be starting so we'll have to be alert.

Lamela getting the all important away goal to take back to WHL
I'm sure they were saving their energy for the real big match against us.Neither of them looked as ruthless as they can be. Quite surprised considering that a win for Dortmund in front of their home fans would have put them just 2 points behind Bayern Munich with momentum in their favour.
FOUND OUTTotti cheated his way through it, got find out, and since then has refused to acknowledge it at all. Instead of owning up and being a man about it, he just pretends it hasn't happened and ignores any posts about it. Shameful and arrogant tosser.
And so soon after we drop points against the scum he is sitting here writing his long match thread, trying to convince us all he's been supporting Spurs all his life. He came onto this forum as a Roma fan with a side interest in Spurs. Now he loves Spurs and is so affected by a game against the scum that he's polishing his nob on his next football manager thread already.
go and stand in the corner!I thought it was on account of he ran the "Chanels".
Draughts dahling, draughts.Hell if it was a checkers tournament, I'd have cheated.
Suport change?Is this the match thread for the second leg ?
he's a goalkeeper. they don't need resting.Pretty sure Poch will rotate full backs and maybe a good call to rest Harry and Dier
Try Son up front with Onomah coming on at half time if he still isn't showing earlier form
Mason and Bentelab midfield?
I'd also rest Hugo
he's a goalkeeper. they don't need resting.
Coco came about because his younger brother couldn't pronounce his name when learning to speak. Kept calling him coco.
Loco Lamela more like.
This seems to be the general feeling in this thread.Villa is a bigger game than Dortmund in the grand scheme of things
