It’s a succession of Thursday matches for Tottenham Hotspur, as the Spurs squad travel to Turkey to take on Galatasaray in their next Europa League fixture. The Lilywhites have won all their European matches thus far this season, and will look to maintain that perfect record in what will likely be an absolute cauldron of an atmosphere at Istanbul’s RAMS Park.
Spurs are likely to heavily rotate for this match; sitting pretty high in the Europa League standings, there’s little risk to Spurs of elimination at this point, and a combination of injuries and much-needed rest for some tired players means the team could look very different. A number of youngsters have travelled, and could be named in the squad for this match.
Galatasaray, on the other hand, will be looking to make an impression against an English giant. Expect a strong lineup, with some big names making appearances such as Mauro Icardi and Victor Osimhen, who transferred to The Lion in somewhat bizarre circumstances in the summer. Plus, there’s yet another reunion with an ex-Spurs player, with Davinson Sanchez at the heart of the defense for Galatasaray.
This should be fun.
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!
