Swansea won their next home game against Liverpool, somewhat bizarrely: Pretty much the only footage that I could find of it and it's ****. Strange.
Different match surely? Alfie Conn posted a clip of a match from 31 years ago...I'm sure Carroll wasn't playing then from your clip! EDIT: brain fart moment...! Apols!
Yeah, there was a slight gap of 22 years! We might be the only regular side that managed to avoid defeat to the Swans during their time in the Premier League. P: 14, W: 11, D: 3, L: 0. A real bogey side for them. They even chucked in an FA Cup defeat at the end for good measure.
This must be the ultimate banana skin - The BBC have been very quick to emphasise that this is the biggest gap in league positions between 2 teams in the competitions history and the majority of their viewers are going to be tuning in hoping to see the biggest upset in history. I know that Jose will have all that drummed into them, but it is vital that we take the game seriously from minute 1, they will be fired up and the adrenalin will be get them through the early stages if we let them settle. I am not sure who we will see in our shirts today but whoever goes out there must know that this is a match where we get no credit for winning and complete embarrassment if we lose.
Yeah it’s really a no win situation for us today. Win and it’s to be expected and we’re the bad guys for beating little Marine, lose and we’re the embarrassment of the country, Europe in fact. I expect us to win comfortably to be honest though, even with what I expect to be a fully rotated side. Vinigoal hattrick and a Jack Clarke masterclass!
This 100% and should be the core of Jose's messaging. Players can get their careers determined by these games - positively and negatively. In Spurs case, 2nd tier players that don't perform today are certainly unlikely to ever feature again. At least, you would hope that would be the case.
Marine chairman just said live on BBC that they’ve now sold 21,000 virtual tickets and that he’s adopted Spurs fans as we’re now his favourite fans in the world. What a bloke.
Can someone tell Marine that if they pull off a shock I am going to want the price of my virtual ticket refunded.
57 mins gone Crawley 2- 0 Dirty Leeds , I sincerely hope that Jose is showing the team this score and saying , you will walk home if we get this
