If that's based on our early season form you can hardly blame them for coming up with that conclusion.

We've lost to a very poor Stoke side, and needed a 95th minute defensive howler to get our only league win against Oxford Utd, and that still remains to be the only game we've scored more than 1 goal in.

A quick look at the spurs forum and most are saying they are going to wallop us and we are poor.

why would I do that? Because I don’t agree doesn’t mean I’m not going

that would be very childish

was it? Strange because when the draw was made everyone said we should play a full team

amazing how opinion changes on here

It doesn't matter really does it , even if we played our very strongest team we'd more than likely lose then people would be moaning if they played tired against Swansea.

Can't win

Now who is the negative one

Tottenham will play fringe players. we more than matched United and wolves last season at full strength

Think the argument on playing stronger players for cup matches for me only applies to the FA Cup. Chance of reaching Wembley is practically nothing with the semi finals being double legged.

Happy for Norman as want to see him starting and think it’s a big test. Overall no matter who plays, we’ll back them anyway.

The likelihood is we will lose and the odds are stacked against us .. that's not negative that's the reality of the game tonight .

Being positive is hoping we can get a result , even our percieved second string is quite strong on paper so it's not like we will be playing u21 players .

The point about playing full strength twice in 4 days is a pretty valid one

Not sure i agree with wrapping players in cotton wool this early into the season really, i'd expect changes sure but wouldn't want too many. The modern football fan just seems to weigh up everything as a risk, yeh someone might get injured, who gives a fuck? Sheaf gets injured doing fuck all.

If we look at it as spurs have the most aggressive press in Europe atm , our players will be more tired than normal .

Should we lose tonight and against Swansea fans 100% would be moaning that we played our best team tonight

Name the 5 players to have played for both sides since 1992 ():

Can you name the 5 players to have played for both Spurs and Coventry City in the Premier League era? | Tottenham Hotspur

Since 1992, only five players have worn the colours of both us and Wednesday's Carabao Cup opponents Coventry City - but can you name them?

Do Spurs have the most aggressive press in Europe? And is it still the most aggressive press if they change most of their team? We really don't do well against high tempo press high up the pitch, so should be interesting.

Why all the negativity?

It’s not a game we should win, so if we do, great.

If we don’t then it doesn’t really matter anyway
