7.30am EST, the early kickoff, as is tradition. Poch said that he'd wait until after training today to decide who of the World Cup players was fit enough. Considering that is most of our starting XI, bit of a worry! Among the others, Wanyama, Winks, Lamela and Foyth are all definitely out. Opening games can be weird. Will Kane finally score in August? Will Toby be in the shop window for PSG? Will Hugo be offering gifts like he did the Croatians?
Not overly optimistic heading into the opener. The heart of our best XI has been training for under a week and an opening match at St. James Park is never an easy task. Still can't get around our dreadful transfer window - now Poch is blaming it on Brexit (the next excuse will be Donald Trump's election). Despite the unrest at Newcastle, I have no doubt Benitez will have his side well drilled to frustrate us.
No way that goal is given before goal technology. And, no way that there's no arguing about it like crazy.
Speaking of kits, how is it that both Adidas and Nike arrive at basically the same color transition design? Man U's home red is very similar. Oh, that's a map of North London on their kit, not puke? Um.. good?
Yay, it was actually easy, with a bit of luck too! still aurie for me is such an anti-footballer, his cross was completely accidental. and one of the worst ever games for eriksen, hopefully he regains his form soon COYS
Not really much of a threat from Newcastle. It would have been quite Spursy to give up the lead to be honest.
I hope one day that we are never thought of as Spursy again. I hope. I dream. Nay, I'm a Spurs fan, I know better than such foolishness. Still, nice start to the season. Well done, boys!
Good win at a ground where Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United all lost at last season and Liverpool drew. Not quite sure what Poch is trying to prove by benching Sir Toby, we get it, he didn't sign a new contract. You had the chance to sell him and you didn't, so just get on with it and play him.
