Diego_Sideburns Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Spurs' manager worried about Dale's pitch.

No me neither. Edited February 8, 2018 by disjointed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn’t be surprised though if Spurs funded some kind of work on it to protect from injuries to their squad as they have a big end to the season ahead. Not sure what can be done at such short notice though, 10 days till they play them isn’t it? Edited February 8, 2018 by super_blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could play the game at an alternative ground - Boundary Park is free that weekend ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millwall havent got any England players and the World Cup is about 100 days away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No me neither. Why would Pochettino give a toss if Spurs weren't playing there? That would be a fair accusation against the FA or Football League but it's a bit harsh on Pochettino. As it is, there is absolutely no chance that Spurs will play a first team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deyres42 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Pretty sure TV companies have stepped in before to help ensure games go ahead as scheduled. And if Tottenham want to help out as well then good on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear what your saying on the World Cup thing but it’s the FA cup and it should be the same for each team regardless of the division there in. That’s my romanitic FA cup preference anyway.

Hands on Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 "Pochettino" is playing mind games knowing the home advantage could see their precious premier league players lose the tie. He wants it moved to a bigger stadium which will suit them better. Absolutely no comment or evidence to suggest the pitch caused or could have caused any injuries when they beat Millwall.

we hate man,u and city to Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 No chance kane and Alli could get injured, since they dive before getting tackled anyways. Hope Tunisia kick our arse but, can't see it unfortunately. FA bending over backwards for the big teams, as per. Supporting England is more depressing than supporting Oldham so, I just cba with it nowadays. Rather support other home nations (bar the Scots, cause they're twats). They have more pride in playing for their countries these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
