I hope we play in blue shorts again.
Bit of cut and paste from the Grauniad
1962-63 was a season of totally ludicrous scorelines for Tottenham. From the 5-1 victory over Ipswich in the Charity Shield that got things under way in August, to the 5-1 victory over Atlético Madrid that won the Cup-Winners' Cup in May, the whole season was one long goal bonanza. They beat West Ham United 6-1, Nottingham Forest 9-2, and played Liverpool home and away in four days over the Easter weekend and won 5-2 and 7-2. They played 51 times in all competitions and anyone who saw all those games will have witnessed 215 goals at 4.2 goals a game, and seen their team finish second in the league. Along the way they also did the double over Manchester United, winning 6-2 at home and a disappointingly sane 2-0 away. Since then Spurs have achieved the double twice, in 1973-74 and 1989-90, when as an added bonus they also knocked United out of the League Cup. In the same period United have done it to them 14 times, 10 of those since 1990. This is the first time since that year that Spurs have won their first meeting away from home, setting themselves up for a double-completing game at White Hart Lane.
That is a lot of fucking goals.

Hoping this doesn't get called off due to snow.
If they push it back a week Sandro might be back from his torn ACL.
If it does get called off I'm going to blame you and you alone.
We'll have signed Messi and Falcao when it gets replayed :bae:
