Good or Bad time to be playing Spurs in the Cup?

[Gregorys Boy]

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!

It's a bad time to be playing anybody at Home.

[Legion]

It's always a great time.

[VillaAlways]

We're capable of beating anyone on our day

We always seem to punch above our weight in the League Cup,(Bradford apart),Ill reckon we'll do 'em.
  So yes,a good time.

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....
