Totally agree. There is a reason why they play for Woolwich, the same as there is a reason why some play for the Chavs. Its a mindset.

Why would you say that?!......fucks sake.
Although it may be true, if I see one more Woolwich fan (or spurs for that matter) saying the only test we’ve had so far is a poor Man United team, I will scream.
Oddly enough, that’s the only ‘big’ test Woolwich have faced so far too!
And while we looked shaky against Man United for the first 45, I seem to remember Man United giving Woolwich a hard time for large parts of their game too!

I can't stand that lot but it's as if hating them or being overly optimistic, or in the analysis, plainly biased, is enough to see us prevail.
Not doing it full stop.
No Tottenham fan would say this
One would.
We need to deal with the reality, which should not in any way be mistaken for what I hope we can do on Sunday.
The words between now and 4pm on Sunday are but backing singers.
No, she’s right.
No real spurs fan would say that.
You want to kiss gooner ass, do it somewhere else, cheers.
Better dead than red
EDIT: Of course adding those players into one's fantasy football team doesn't count.

You already said your fear of disappointment over-rides you allowing yourself to be hopefully (which is just a synonym for cowardice, tbh).
You should stick with that explanation, rather than pontificate to others about not being realistic or too partizan...... It's more honest.
them 3 coming back could be massive. just hope bentancur isnt fucked from his injury. lo celso needs to roll his sleeves up and get stuck into work.gil is going to smash it when given a proper chance
Lo Celso has been sidelined for how long? A month? He always takes a lot of time to get back.
We are fans, we don't need to deal with shit. The fans that travel just need to make noise regardless of what happens and that's all they can do.
This game week it fucking does.EDIT: Of course adding those players into one's fantasy football team doesn't count.
Huge pressure on Woolwich. This is their biggest test so far this season and thanks to absolute whoppers like Paul Merson, all the pressure is on them. They're expected to dominate a team that was in ruins only a few months ago. If they don't, it's going to cause a lot of damage.
Where as for us, we're 5 Premier League games into a season under a manager who has got us playing a totally different system to what we're used to. We're still well and truly inside the transitional period and despite our excellent run so far, slip ups are expected until we're fully bedded in. No one outside of the fanbase expects us to win, and it's not the end of the world if we lose, the same level of pressure just isn't there. I imagine as long as the players execute Ange's style of play, he'll be happy (and I reckon the fans will be too).
With that being said, I think Woolwich are there for the taking. They're nowhere near as good as certain pundits claim. I think we'll win on Sunday but if we don't, as long as we execute Ange ball I'll be happy, albeit a bit disappointed that we failed to beat the South Londoners.

Late in injury time
Spot on I was humiliated by what happened here last time . Was the nail in the Conte coffin for me. So it's a very low base. Ironically only Sarr came out it with any credit but it's going to be very hard game indeed. Let's show some fight and pride from first to last.
Really looking forward to the match. Two teams that both want the ball suggests that things will be more open than usual. First goal scored should set the tone. If it is by Spurs it could take some wind out of Woolrich's sails. They really haven't been tested to the degree Spurs have so we'll see how they react to playing from behind. I suspect not well.
If we keep the ball their big players won’t have as many opportunities to deliver.
I think the key for us is Biss being press resistant and our midfield winning the game against their counterparts.
