Will he be keeping his colours hidden or wearing a Holsten retro top?

If he's as big as Hopadop says, then I'd imagine he'll be conspicuous either way.

On second thoughts, that was probably the point you were making.

Apologies for duplication - I've added this Q to the Spurs FAC 4 ticket thread but bit desperate for a reply TBH - Has anyone on here not had their ticket link sent to them for this game for printing/ uploading to wallet ? I've checked all my spam/ junk folders and still nothing. Bought mine in the Holte K5 on 30/1 !! Cheers

Nope, probably a joke or notoriety in there somewhere. Was Just hoping for a straight answer or help TBH. Looks like it's a visit to the ticket office pre-match then...

Have you checked in case it went straight into your wallet? Some did.

I don't know what he'll be wearing, but if you see a big unit standing by the old Joanna trying to get a Chas n Dave knees up going, it probably isn't him.

He really is a lovely bloke though. And big.

I’m not going because I’ve given up on domestic cups simply because so have the management and the team
Defeat to Crystal Palace did for me especially after Everton Stevenage etc, sadly I love the FA Cup I’d give anything for us to win it, so it’s heartbreaking to see our performances in this competition

I’ll start to get interested if we spawn our way to a quarter final/semi-final maybe then we might take it seriously
If we see Olsen wobble out on Sunday night you know straight away they don’t give a fuck about this cup, I know there’s plenty of others on the site that don’t care either which is fair enough if that’s the way you roll

So I can only see a loss, mainly because our mentality is - we don’t really care
1-3



I agree, keep the faith, you never know

Hopadop's mate, 4 posts up from your first. Hope you get it sorted.

It’ll be really interesting to see whether the chance to work properly on some tactical stuff (as per Digne’s interview) gives us something.

The players don’t care??? Of course they care. We have reinforcements now so they should be caring even more as starting places are at risk. At least that’s how it should be.

We were crap in the first half. Played for 20 mins and won the game.

We've picked Martinez in our last four FA Cup games, I think Unai cares about this more than the League Cup.
