I hope it happens against Chavs and their midlife crisis nervous wreck of a manager.
A routine 4-0 will do me fine here.

Bloody Monday night kick off? 15 days until we next play!? Fuck off.
At least we'll know where we will be and where we could end up by the time kick off comes about.

Biss is a massive miss for this. He makes us play through the lines. The way he drops the shoulder and drives away from players is a joy to watch.
Hopefully Ange can spend next two weeks getting our back up forwards fully fit and raring to go :
Brennan Johnson - Taken off in 2nd Spurs appearance (and first start) 2 weeks ago, so the international break means he'll have had 4 weeks to recover, and he had played most of 3 PL matches for Notts Forest before joining us so he should have been match fit before joining us. We need his speed and goal scoring (10 goals and 3 assists for Notts Forest last season - should get more playing with better players). Gives us cover at RW and striker, but also LW.
Bryan Gil - Looked a skillful player in a couple of european games under Nuno but not much of a goal threat. A couple of seasons on loan in Spain but only a few goal involvements. Aged 22 now, so I think we see what he can do before making any decisions. Gives us LW cover.
Alejo Veliz - Aged 20, seems to have last played for Argentina u20's in June before joining us. Played about 30 mins for Spurs u21's about 2 weeks ago coming on at 5-0 up but whilst getting in good positions his shooting was rubbish. Hopefully he'll be getting match fit and practising his shooting in the next 2 weeks. Looks very much a poacher with no/limited involvement in build up play.
There's also 2 u21 forwards who Ange might want to look at as alternates in next 2 weeks - Yago de Santiago (LW) aged 20, Jude Soonsup-Bell (RW and CF) almost 20 both of whom have scored 5 goals with 3 assists in the 9 matches so far who are both match fit, add speed and should cope with playing mens football. Jamie Donley, just under 19, a prolific scorer and assist king, would be back up for Maddison, but with E u19's for next 2 weeks
So a good range of players who would bolster our forward options, all but Johnson almost certainly off the bench. With Perisic and now Solomon now out injured, much needed reinforcements

Chelsea have had a couple of good results lately. I saw their match against Fulham and they are starting to play some good football. They could be a surprise package against Woolwich.
The only downside is that we have to play them in a few weeks as well.
I think City will beat Brighton. I don't see anything but a home win.
As long as we don't wear the horrible third kit this time.!Is this the #Replay of the league cup tie from earlier in this season?
How many games Biss is going to miss? 2?
fulham and then next time he gets a yellow he'll miss the game after that too. ideally gets a yellow against chelsea and not palace.
Fulham for sure, then if he picks up another yellow, he would miss the following game.
Half his yellows are avoidable. Dude just needs to calm the farm
True but I like his competitive edge and even his cynicism. Much needed imv.
Can’t believe I am typing this given how rash he has been before this season, but Bissouma could learn a lot from Romero. The footballing equivalent of a bhuddist monk this season.
We will struggle without Bissouma, Palhinha is arguably the most aggressive ball winner in the prem.
Why the bloody fuck are we playing Monday/Friday/Monday in the 3 fixtures following this break???
Mine two days later. I'm planning on starting the Friday before and powering through on a ten-dayer till the next weekend.Also, my Birthday.
Perhaps not wisest plan for someone turning 62 but To Dare is To Do after all
Where do you get your analysis of Veliz from?
Way too much overconfidence here. Some calm needed, as Fulham on the day can give anyone a proper game. That prick Willian turns up and Paulinha controls the middle it’ll be a tough game.
Hopefully we get through another pointless international break with no injuries as one to a key player and we know the replacement is a downgrade.
I trust Ange and the players coming in to step up but depends on bodies available post break. Hopefully Johnson is fit to start.
