Palace v Tottenham 12:30 BT Sports

Not a good international break for Spurs

Along with the two Argentinians Davison Sanchez is also in quarantine after playing for Colombia while Bergwijn, Sessegnon, Skipp and Son are all facing late fitness tests after picking up various injuries over the last two weeks

I dislike Palace but it would be amusing if they could do us a favour

PrestonHammer

I'm not sure Hamstew would be amused.

ASLEFshrugged

If we are top of the league by Monday I'm sure he'll be fine

ASLEFshrugged

No Son, Bergwijn or Sessegnon for Spurs,

22yo Japhet Tanganga plays at CB, he has started at RB for the last three games, with new signing from Barcelona 22yo Brazilian RB Emerson Royal getting his first team debut

Winks and Kane come in for Son and Bergwijn

Spurs looking a bit fragile at the back

I'm sure my Dad used to send me down the newsagents for 20 Emerson Royals...

ASLEFshrugged

Eric Dier injured, replaced by Joe Rodon, average age of Spurs back four 22¾

Zaha falling over whenever he gets a hard look; plus ca change...

steve

Hoping for a draw here .Cant stand either

buffybegood

Spurs down to 10

ASLEFshrugged

Ben Davies on for Harry Winks, Spurs now playing with two left backs and two right backs

ASLEFshrugged

Whoops Rodon is a CB, Tanganga was RB playing CB

buffybegood

Penalty to Palace

ASLEFshrugged

1-0 Zaha

whupathman

Oh dear how sad

buffybegood

2-0, Edouard scores within 27 seconds of coming on

chicagohammer

No-one likes to see that :-)

whupathman

Now get another 3 for my prediction

ASLEFshrugged

Benteke's place in the starting XI looking a bit shaky

steve

Not as shaky as spurs

whupathman

Manager of the month strikes again

jay_in_cpt

I get no staisfaction in this result, can't stand Palace, IMO just as bad as Spurs.

buffybegood

3-0, Edouard gets a second

ASLEFshrugged

I don't detest Palace as much as I detest Zaha but if we go top I will be very grateful to Croydon for at least a week

Fortuneseeker

Edouard looked good, I wonder why we didn’t show any interest in him? 🤔

Because Moyes wanted to spend money elsewhere.

Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes

I’m happy with the result. Don’t like either Palace or Spurs but I expect us to be closer in the league to Spurs than Palace this season.

Arsenal V Norwich. Well, there's a " six pointer" game!

Slacker

Great start to the w/e!
Palace were by far the better team, Spurs were bang average, which was nice.

Fortuneseeker

Jorderz, From the man himself -

“We would have liked to have brought in someone who could directly replace Mich during the window. [Someone] Who could possibly help him out but we just could not find anyone,” the manager said.

“We have to try and find other ways of doing it and bringing other people who in we think can score goals in a different way.

“Keeping Mich fit is really important for us, we will not play him in all of the games but will try and use him at the right times.”

Fortuneseeker

West Ham Women only named 4 subs today whilst Aston Villa had eight! I worry they are going to struggle this season with their lack of strength in depth a bit like the men's team?

Yeoldhammer

i think the women team are favourites for relegation.

claretandbluesky

No greater compliment to how far we have come that teams are parking the bus at home!

Fortuneseeker

Yeold, For some reason they are predicted to finish 10th by "those in the know" but they let so much talent leave and haven't really replaced them whether in number or ability so it looks likely to be a long hard winter ahead for them.
