    Tottenham Hotspur Football Club, commonly referred to simply as Tottenham or Spurs (and nicknamed The Lilywhites), are a professional football club based in Tottenham, London. The Hotspur Football Club was formed in 1882 by a group of school boys, mostly aged 13 to 14, from Tottenham Grammar School and Saint John's Middle Class School who were members of the Hotspur Cricket Club formed two years earlier. Initially, the boys that formed Hotspur Football Club played games between themselves and friendly matches against other local clubs. The team entered their first cup competition in the London Association Cup, and won their first competitive match on 17 October 1885. The club turned professional on 20 December 1895, and in the summer of 1896 they were admitted to the Division One of the Southern League. On 2 March 1898, the club also became a limited company, the Tottenham Hotspur Football and Athletic Company.

    Tottenham were the first club in the 20th century to achieve the League and FA Cup Double, winning both competitions in the 1960-61 season. After successfully defending the FA Cup in 1962, in 1963 they became the first British club to win a UEFA club competition – the European Cup Winners' Cup. In 1967, Spurs won the FA Cup for a third time in the 1960s. In the 1970s Tottenham won the League Cup on two occasions and were the inaugural winner of the UEFA Cup in 1972, becoming the first British club to win two different major European trophies. In the 1980s Spurs won several trophies: the FA Cup twice, FA Community Shield and the UEFA Cup in 1984. In the 1990s the club won the FA Cup and the League Cup. When they won the League Cup once more in 2008, it meant that they had won a major trophy in each of the last six decades – an achievement only matched by Manchester United.

    Tottenham supporters have rivalries with several clubs, mainly within the London area. The fiercest of these is with north London rivals Arsenal (with matches between them termed the North London derby). They also share notable rivalries with fellow London clubs Chelsea and West Ham United. Tottenham play their home games at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

    Need to defend much better but at least the RW is finally looking threatening.
     
    Some opportunities on the counter attack hopefully? A repeat of the Villa game would be nice.
     
    I wonder how many more players will be injured again mate.
     
    We learnt nothing from tonights game.

    This years system was somewhat effective against a terrible Wigan side, apart from awful composure in front of goal.

    But I think we will look far too open against a decent side.

    We could have really done with Casemiro being at least fit enough to get some minutes tonight to be in with a chance of playing against spurs.

    As mentioned above, I think we need to hope for a Villa-esque suicidal high line for us to take advantage of.

    But think we will get dominated in midfield.
     
    Hoping we get some guys return from injury? Any news on Shaw? Rashford needs Shaw out there to get anywhere close to his best.

    Onana
    Wan Bissaka Varane Evans Dalot
    Mainoo Eriksen
    Garnacho Bruno Rashford
    Hojlund
    ​
    Shaw, Martinez and Casemiro come in for Wan Bissaka, Eriksen and Evans when they're fit but that's the best side we have

    I thought we'd see someone return by now but seems unlikely :(

    Agree with your best 11 when everyone is fit… but also in the shape that you propose too…

    Doesn’t matter if it’s Shaw or Dalot… if it’s that weird hybrid midfield role, Rashford will continue to look crap. He 100% needs an overlapping FB to be effective.
     
    Is Maddison back for them yet? If he is, I think we lose this.

    If he isn't, I think we lose this, just not as lossy.
     
    Same team we put out tonight and yes, that includes McTominay.

    Hopefully, we'll have a stronger bench, though.

    I think players like Amad and Eriksen can make a difference from the bench. Maybe we'll have a few more back from injury/ilness, too.

    Front three Garnacho Hojlund and Rashford is a must because Spurs play high line.
     
    Big game for the season this. As it stands our chances if making top 4 are slim enough , lose this and it is extremely hard to see us make top 4. Spurs are missing quite a few as well, no excuses if we fail to turn up here.
     
    Spurs will walk this and a game closer to an ETH sacking …..which will change absolutely nothing.
     
    Mate, it's Tottenham.

    I strangely feel confident going into this one. They're missing Son, Sarr etc. and wouldn't be sitting back. If anything gives our team a chance, it's an attacking team at OT which doesn't have the best defence.

    Always surprises me to see how different the narratives are from club to club.

    If United could just get 5% more of there shit together they would climb the table fairly quickly.
     
    Onana (Since we refuses not to play him even if he should be away with the NT)
    Dalot-Varane-Evans-Shaw (Hopefully fit, if not AWB to the right and Dalot to the left)
    Mainoo-Eriksen
    Garnacho-Bruno-Rashford
    Rasmus
     
    We are tailor-made for Tottenham. They are going to look like Cristiano-era Madrid on the break. Even Wigan had great chances in transition.
     
    We have a chance against Spurs, but our front line need to find their shooting boots. It's baffling, Rashford and Hojund have struggled to find any kind of form on goal this season. Garnacho has been a bit better, but not by much.

    We have a "where will the goals come from?" problem that has yet to be resolved and until it's resolved we're susceptible to losing to anyone, especially decent clubs like Spurs.
