Very much looking forward to going Efes Mangal before the match

 

Might just stay there when I see the starting lineup announced

[Tommy G]

Comfy win for Spurs, but some positives for us to takeaway is the best we can hope for.

[EnderbyFox]

Be nice to not have Kane score a hat-trick

 

0-3 Spurs

Maddison is one of the reasons we went down.

 

Always stupid to boo a player (it only motivates them ffs) but praying we don’t all rise up and salute him when he takes a corner either. 

To be fair I feel like Maddison is one of the few players who would crumble under booing

Nah definitely not. Always raised his game when he got booed for us.

[Noahfence]

This is definitely the least bothered I’ve been for a new season in a looooooong time. Was trying to find things I’m actually looking forward to seeing.

 

Im excited to see what Fatawu can do at a higher level. I’m excited in a weird way that we’re back to being underdogs again.  I would like to see Alves given a chance in the Prem too. 
 

As for Spurs I expect a pretty comfortable loss although I think we have potential to hurt them on the break.

Genuinely don't remember him ever getting booed to be honest, I'd imagine it'd be because he was on top form and annoying the opposition though. So it must have been in between August and October.

Either way, Maddison is the least of our worries

 

[JimJams]

On the pretense that I think we are going to be getting a couple of signings over the line but it being too early to play them, I'm going to have a massively optimistic grin on throughout.  Not because I think we'll win, but I'll be able to dream about how big a change we're going to see.

[urban.spaceman]

I'm fully expecting us to get twatted 5-0 so this is highly likely to be a 2-1 win.

Brentford and Newcastle fans really seemed to hate him.

[ALC Fox]

They'll try and play. We may not be able to hit a barn door at the moment but they can be got at on the break. Their pace in the back line might be able to cover them a lot of the time but they're often criminally out of position if last season is anything to go by.

 

I'd snap anybody's hand off for an attritional 1-0.

Lets be real here, this fanbase is completely mental when it comes to attitude towards ex players. 

There was one season they booed Kante and Mahrez and applauded Demarai Gray. Totally backwards.

Grinning through it was what I grew up with being a city supporter. I’m starting to feel nostalgic.

What channel will this be on? Presume Sky as it’s a Monday evening?

[OntarioFox]

Missing the matchday ritual more than I'm actually looking forward to anything on the pitch. The miserable preparations have made it seem far longer than usual since we last kicked a ball competitively.

 

I guess we enter this season with such low expectations that I'm going to be pleasantly surprised with any positives I see.

 

Going to be optimistic and say that we score a goal in a 1-3 defeat. IDGAF who scores it.

He's also the reason we weren't relegated in March. Also won an FA Cup and Community Shield here. I didn't say applaud him taking a corner. I said don't boo him, and it'd be absolutely pathetic if anyone did so, in my opinion.

Ex players? This fanbase is deranged when it comes to attitude towards current players. 

[wokinghamfox]

Will hold them to a 0-3 defeat

If wasn’t a serious post

It's a terrible opening fixture in its own right. Spurs the kings of performing with the pressure off, started exceptionally last season. Side full of players who love a goal against us as well, add in Maddison  

 

The links in the last few days are of slight more encouragement but this is a comfortable loss. 0-3.

wanna get yourself down nawroz

[lcfcbluearmy]

Anyone know of sports stations in Portugal that might be showing this?

[Corky]

Got comfortable defeat written all over it. No idea how we will approach the game.

[HitchinFox]

All I know is that I have three Spurs players in my Fantasy team. And none of ours. 

 

Go on Cooper, prove me wrong.
