Let’s get 2025 started off right – with a Tottenham Hotspur match with no Tottenham Hotspur players available! Oh, and let’s make it against a side well above Spurs on the table, with Newcastle United sitting in fifth.
I’ve said previously it’s not a fun time to be a Tottenham fan; it’s now not a fun time to be a player either, with half of the team reportedly ill to add to all the fun that Ange Postecoglou already had to deal with, with injuries and suspensions galore.
And against a high-flying Newcastle side, it’s hard to see how Spurs get anything out of this match. But maybe Dr. Tottenham will visit in a different way for once?
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!
