Title: Good or Bad time to be playing Spurs in the Cup?
Post by: Gregorys Boy on September 22, 2013, 01:15:06 PM
Just wondered what people thought here?

They are one of the top teams, and it would have been nice to have played them in a later round.

On the plus side it should get our players up for it and the atmosphere should be very good at VP so it being at home should be a positive.  With a good result or performance it could be something to boost confidence for the league.

Could be a bit of an odd one this - AVB moaning about fixture congestion earlier in the week suggests he'll rotate, plus Lambert implied he'd do similar because of league priority/our players carrying a lot of knocks.

I have no idea how it'll go!

Apart from the Benteke loss, i think it`s a brilliant time to play `em.

If you are Spurs I think you should be trying to win this cup as the league is out of their reach and Europe is such a miss-mass of fixtures, for them a high league finishing and cup is a good season it could lead to greater things.

Then again if they want to concede to us I'm not complaining!

Don't we have a really shit record at the Lane though? Villa Park used to be one of their bogie grounds.  Well I did say used to be....
