Spurs are shite but they have beaten us 3 times on the trot at their place (Without us scoring a fucking goal !!) and this could be 4th time if Baldeo decides to be a cunt.

No fucking about with the team and tactics today. I don't want to be hearing excuses first game out. Everyone won as expected yesterday, we need to start strong with a win

The first half dozen PL games are going to be a slow burner for us just like last season due to our squad being absolutely knackered and needing time to regain full speed . Same happened last season with the new squad and the appointment of Lillo and adjusting to his ideas .
I’m expecting a painful afternoon in Northampton London and if I see that smug cunt Levy smiling a full can of strong lager is going through the tv screen .

I think we're going to get turned over today and the media will write us off, as will some of us. It will be a tough and slow start of the season for us, I reckon. I just hope we aren't too far off once we click in to gear.

This. Anty Taylor will have a field day.
But on the other side, we usually look fantastic on day one.

Bad feeling about this one. The weekends results seem to have been crap for us, and that usually means we end up losing. Their players will be well up for it trying to impress their new manager and it’s likely Pep won’t play a full strength team because he pretends they’re not fit.

Hope he hasn't injured his wrist after signing his new contract

I wouldn’t play Bernardo if he wants to leave. We all hated that he pushed Garcia in to the team when he wanted to leave.

I think we need him in midfield today, Rodri & Fern is not a good combo

Before we start, who do you think's going to be the whipping boy for our woes?
