Bringing my Brighton season ticket holder uncle into the spurs end for this one tonight.

This Brighton may set up tight and play well but expect Spurs to nick a couple of goals.

COYS but it won't be easy. Finally a half and half scarf i may buy :)

My Spurs mate says you struggle against teams who park the bus. We did that at the Lane in 81 against a better Spurs team than this one, and nicked a 1-0. Can only hope and pray for something similar.

Feel as if I want to hide for the whole of December with the games we have coming our way. Would happily re-surface in January and find we are still 13th.

Am I the only one who finds this attitude rather sad? Surely, this is what we've dreamed of, big games, big stadia. I for one vowed not to go to new Wembley except to see the Albion, so am looking forward muchly to today. If it's half as good as the day out to the Olympic (London) Stadium then I'll be happy.

I'm with you PG. Desperately want us to do well, but don't want to miss out on these opportunities to enjoy the experience. I don't believe that we went through those agonising evenings against Palace, Derby and Sheff Wed to worry about being in a relegation battle in the toughest league in the world. This core of this squad has shown that it can take big knock-backs and come through them. Tonight is a chance for a big, big scalp.. it is unlikely, but not impossible..

Think we will line up something like this

Lloris
Aurier Dier Vertonghen Rose
Sissoko Winks
Lamela Eriksen Son
Kane

Or Dele might start instead of Lamela.
Demblele, Llorente, Davis, Trippier, Foyth & Vorm on the bench.

Oh **** off

No mention of balls put into our own net from crosses from open play!

Can't say I am expecting anything from this one but, hey!, football fandom is all about iripressable optimism so, why not?

I will be at home with Warren and J.C. - best wishes for a good night and smooth journey home for the hardy souls that are going.....
