Brad is 41, delighted at recently having signed a year extension to his deal and saying all the right things with regards to always wanting to play but being content with playing deputy. Easier domestic cup games?I'm all over Brad. Hugo injured? We have a wonderful back up. But this is a fucking huge game and Lloris ought to play both legs.
I don't care who starts as long as we win #apathyFTW
I wouldn't care if we played our girls under 9's team as long as we won, but if we did play them we probably wouldn't win
Well, it'd have to be the first choice right-back playing, I forget her name now. Otherwise I'll seethe.
Always have been a big fan of Friedel, but AVB needs to go w/ LLoris here..........Europa is some legitimate hardware and Spurs need to take it seriously.
And lets hope AVB rolls with A&E over Naughton as well..........
The rest of the starting 11, I can justify however it looks. With a full eleven days tween this fixture and West ham, AVB should definitely roll w/ his optimal 11.

I can't believe I am saying this....
Siggy should start.

I did some research on our upcoming opponents. Here are some additional facts we should be aware of:
1)Lyon routinely field 11 men on the field at the start of each match.
2)All of their wins in the 2012/13 season have been the result of scoring more goals than the other side.
3)They are from France.
4)"Olympique Lyonnais" is actually the name of a chocolate sauce that is spread on a croissant. (Croissant's are a bread pastry invented by Burger King and later adopted by the French as a breakfast treat.)

Has to be full strength against Lyon. No game on the weekend but we all know Brad will start.

Walker - Daws - Verts - BAE
Parker - Dembele
Lennon - Holtby - Bale
Ade
... I really hope it is this team ... I really want to see Holtby and Ade link up together ... but maybe this is too big of a game to test that out ... the other thing is that i think Daws should start ... I know how many of you dont fancy him but that guy puts his soul and body on the line like no other ... plus we need the physical presence against the likes of gomis, lopez or laczette ....

Bit of a weird fetish but each to their own I supposeCan't wait to see Holtby in the flesh
Also looking forward to see him hook up with Ade.
That's my team too, and I'd pick Dempsey over Holtby. He's a better player with more end product - I like Holtby a lot, but Clint is proven
Daws should start no problem, he's our best defender, why wouldn't he start?
Took a while for AVB to grasp the obvious about how good Daws is - but he's there now
Captain Daws and rightly so
I remember the same amount of tickets were still available a day before the Panathinaikos game and on matchday I remember the queue going right across Worcester avenue for both ticket windows, I expect the same will happen here as it is a slightly bigger against a much bigger team. Probably be about 33-34,000 which isn't too bad for a Europa League game. Be nice if it sells out, but it won't
