Tottenham Hotspur Vs. Everton, 2012 Premier League: Lineups And Live Match Thread

Azza returns

Happy Spursday, Spursland! It's time to make up a fixture that we missed in August because of the London riots. Everton come to the Lane to take on Tottenham Hotspur in what is actually a fixture from Round 1. Everton have a lot more injuries now than they did back then, but they also have Landon Donovan, who starts. Tottenham are without both Sandro and Scott Parker, and have dropped in Jake Livermore while going back to the 4-4-1-1. Tim Cahill was an injury doubt, but makes a surprise start for the Toffees. This is your live match thread, here are your lineups.

Tottenham Hotspur Lineup (4-4-1-1): Friedel; Walker, Dawson, Kaboul, Assou-Ekotto; Lennon, Livermore, Modric, Bale; Van der Vaart; Adebayor

Substitutes: Cudicini, Bassong, Rose, Kranjcar, Pienaar, Defoe, Pavlyuchenko

Everton Lineup (4-4-2): Howard; Neville, Heitinga, Distin, Baines; Bilyaletdinov, Fellaini, Donovan, Cahill; Anichebe, Saha

Substitutes: Drenthe, Denis, Gueye, Vellios, Duffy, Mucha, Faddy

I haven't seen the Everton subs yet, so post them in the comments if you see them. The game kicks off at 2:45 p.m. ET, 7:45 p.m. local time from White Hart Lane. You can catch the game on FOX Soccer Channel in the USA and Sportsnet World in Canada. I don't believe it's on live TV in the UK, but please correct me if I'm wrong. COYS!

Ashlock and I had some confusion

The confusion stemmed from Ashlock doing his job and me being a complete jackass.

I guess it’d be funnier for City to go on and actually win the thing than it would be for 7th to do it. I mean, if City win the title, and Mancini talks about them winning the double, in a year where they bombed out of the CL and the FA Cup way ahead of schedule, it’s pretty high comedy. Liverpool will actually be legitimately smug about it.

I expect Everton to really come at us in the last 20 mins.

Drenthe will come of the bench and really stretch us with his pace. Also Velios to make runs in behind defense, which Anichebe and Saha aren’t doing. Lets hope Dawson can keep pace after just coming back.

Plus, Livermore needs to stay back and just play simple passes, please.

Its a gigantic screwball comedy

Asking price is probably too high, current owner is a bit of a joke which doesn’t help.
In terms of actual assets though, we have ~50 million pounds in debt, need a new stadium which is another ~200 million pound expense, maybe even more. The team also does not own Finch Farm. Plus Liverpool is not a fantastic city compared to London, or even Manchester. Also the economy doesn’t help anything either, I’m worried that we will be forced into Admin in a slow and painful way

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the Sheikh would overreact

He probably gets sacked the day after the season ends if they don’t end up winning it

I actually think he stays

He’s done a good job and the owners aren’t nearly as trigger happy as Abramovich

Someday, I imagine large golden statues will be built honoring my humility. Or my hat.

In a perfect world

They will sack Mancini and every other manager they get in before he has a chance to solidify his squad until the end of eternity. It may actually be beyond human capability to manage a squad of 25 superstars like that. The main benefit they get from some of them (Tevez) is that it just keeps them from playing for someone else.

Eventually, they’ll end up with a payroll of £20 million a week but everyone unhappy.

Mancini is not the problem there.

We made the GIH count like we needed to. All is well. City is faultering, United is half crippled… If we can keep our shit together, this could be a fun finish.

Hey, that was fun.

Thanks for the laughs, friends.

I saw a girl crying tonight. When I asked why she said: "Because everybody lost."

I can't stop hurting over that game at Stoke.

It will either fade with the glory of the title, or become a nagging nightmare revisited by my unconscious and conscious mind!
