Spurs – PAOK Preview: Unleash The Muskehounds

Switching from the all-conquering, award-winning, glitz-laden superstars of our rollicking Premiership campaign to the prepubescent kids and want-away squad members on our midweek Europa jaunts is somewhat akin to putting down the Dumas novel in order to tune in to Dogtanian and the Three Muskehounds – nobody in their right mind would dispute that it remains quite magnificent entertainment, but the whole forum is perhaps a little more frivolous.Thus we march into battle tonight knowing that defeat will do all manner of nastiness to our European campaign, but victory would all but see us through. None of which can really be taken seriously when one considers the red-hot Saturday/Sunday frolics of our first-choice mob in the League.

Still. There is still a cockerel on the shirt, pride at stake and a trophy to be won, eventually. Kane, Carroll, Livermore and Townsend will get their usual opportunities to impress, while Cudicini, Corluka, Gallas, Pienaar and Pav (if fit – and if not, then presumably Defoe) will add sprinklings of élan about the place. The reverse fixture against this lot was jolly hard work, but thus far on our home nights in Europe we have muddled through, so another three points ought to be the target once again tonight. All for one, and all that continental gubbins.

Sharing is daring:

Cudicini, Corluka, Bassong, Gallas, Rose, Peinaar, Livermore, Caroll, Townsend, Defoe and Kane.

Not too many kids and inexperienced players in there!

I’m expecting:

Carlo
Charlie
Billy
Seb (even though i would prefer Sandro/Livermore there)
Rose
Townsend
Sandro
Livermore
Peanut – Tommy Carroll may miss out 🙁
Kane
Defoe

Dogtanian over the Alexandre Dumbass novel , all day long.

The missus likes the old literature though. She’s never happier than when she’s got a nice heavy Balzac to get her teeth into.
