Can things get worse?
That’s the question many will be asking as this Tottenham Hotspur season trudges on - now with bonus fixture congestion! That’s right, we’re now in the part of the season where Spurs have to deal with two to three matches per week, with this midweek instance against Newcastle.
Spurs have been struggling, and the matches coming fast and furious won’t help. Limited preparation time, tiredness, injuries, all of which stack up when you are trying to build cohesion. Thomas Frank’s glorious mane could soon be looking decidedly less so.
Travelling up north has never been a trip that has treated Spurs well either, with Newcastle a tough opponent even when the Lilywhites have been flying and firing. This side is very much in a hole, and Frank and the players need to dig themselves out of it. Could this be the match where the ascent begins, or will the excavation just drive hopes further into the dirt?
COYS!

Match thread rules
The match thread rules are the same as always. To any visitors coming here for the first time, welcome! We’re glad you’re here! Wipe your feet, mind the gap, and be sure to check out the other pages at this outstanding site. While you’re here, though, we have a few rules and regulations:
Absolutely no links to illegal streams. They’re bad and they get us in trouble. Violators will be warned or banned.
We have rules against “relentless negativity.” Nobody likes a Negative Nancy. Don’t knee-jerk and post outlandish or hurtful things just because you’re frustrated.
Along those lines, outright abuse of players or match officials is also not allowed. It’s fine to say “wow, that was a really bad call,” but it’s NOT okay to direct copious amounts of abuse in the direction of said official over a call you did not like.
Treat other people in the match thread the way you would want someone else to treat your grandmother. Be nice. This is a community of fans, not an un-moderated message board.
NO SPIDERS!
Finally, while we don’t have a rule against profanity, please try and keep the naughty words in check. Also, language that is sexist, racist, transphobic, or homophobic in nature will be swiftly deleted and you will be immediately banned. This is an open, supportive community.
Have fun, and COYS!
