Tottenham Hotspur 3:0 Manchester United

If anyone comes to the thread late and asks why the game was delayed, let's say because Kane proposed to his girlfriend on the pitch.

I would have thought we would aim to arrive 2 hours before the kickoff. Even an hours delay would not be a big problem.

The team have only just arrived at 5 to 4. Time to change and warm up, a 4.30 start is cutting it a bit fine.

We were 8 miles away. Yes we would have aimed to arrive 90 mins at most before kick off. Whatever accident it was must have been horrendous. Nothing we could have done and that Matt Law wanting us to have points docked is ridiculous. Not like we did this deliberately by causing a traffic accident then holding shit up. If anything this benefits Spurs more than us.

The late arrival has given Van Gormless a ready made excuse if we lose.

It's a process, just be patient, we will get to the stadium. I have always told you it is a process

That Spurs lineup has plenty of pace, engine and teamwork. If we dont wake up from the beginning, this can get ugly.

We have pace too, Martial and Rashford will relish the space they'll get today.

It's worrying that we may be "sleepy" in the first 20 minutes, due to our late/rushed arrival.
This could work against us.

Our lot will run out to the Match of the Day theme played on a kazoo, while stretchering Rooney to the box so he can head in a cross with his heroic English bandaged bonce. I take my hair off to him.

Farce.

Adam-Utd · Apr 10, 2016

We are going to be awful. I remember we were late to a game once before and never got going.

Let's hope they are itching to get going.

There was an accident, sorry but they didn't know that was going to happen. Idiot.

Pochettino looks like Ander.

cj_sparky · Apr 10, 2016

At least we won't have time to show Spurs exactly how we are going to set up during our usual warm ups.

2 man midfield · Apr 10, 2016

Wasn't expecting anything anyway to be honest. This delay doesn't fill me with any more confidence.

Bugshot · Apr 10, 2016

This is ridiculous.

Kind of thing Clough would do. Stop off for a pint on the way, get there late, then win a major European trophy.

Yes, do it!

Massive Spanner · Apr 10, 2016

Do we even have time for a warm up?

.....or how Ander will look when he is older.

Bugshot · Apr 10, 2016

I thought this was a caf joke. It's actually true, we're fecking dithering to go to the stadium on time now. Sure we'll get Jose before the start of 2020/21 season at this rate.

I said this to my friend, he thinks LVG would have had them taken turns doing shuttle runs up the centre aisle of the bus :lol:

. He's serious too :lol:

Drifter · Apr 10, 2016

Van Gaal .Getting his excuses in early?.

justboy68 · Apr 10, 2016

How were all the Spurs players and staff able to get to the ground on time anyway? It's not like they live there themselves.

Rada · Apr 10, 2016

Looks like Mr Louis van Gaal already got the excuses ready

R'hllor · Apr 10, 2016

LvG just threw a bus driver under the bus,people gonna love it.

They do. Pocettino never goes home, he works that hard.

Apparently they threw a small black car out of the way.

Have we blamed Fellaini yet?

Summit · Apr 10, 2016

prepare for injuries galore today.

Bugshot · Apr 10, 2016

What's your favourite Brent dialogue from the office, anyone?

stu_1992 · Apr 10, 2016

This delay... Ugh so frustrating.

De Gea and Smalling to take each other out with a clash of heads, and Martial to pull his hamstring running over to check on them.

The way this season has gone, the above doesn't even sound unreasonable.

What did he say?

Hed Zitin · Apr 10, 2016

LVG will use the we were late excuse.

Offside · Apr 10, 2016

I do not understand why we haven't travelled the night before and it not, why we are getting a coach down?

Less time warming up, it is inevitable.

If the Glazers weren't cheapasses, they would have bought two helicopters and the game would not have been delayed.

Less chance of someone getting injured in the warm up, if it is truncated.

I always laughed at "I thought the players showed tremendous character..." - I think it was the repetition of that line which really made it a classic Brent line.
