Tottenham Hotspur have dropped three straight matches in all competitions going back two weeks — a tricky away tie to then-undefeated Watford, home to Liverpool, and then a heartbreaker in the Champions League at Inter Milan. It’s no wonder that the narrative has been mostly gloom and doom for the past few days.
Spurs have a chance to right the ship today in the Premier League against Brighton and Hove Albion, but it won’t necessarily be an easy win. The Seagulls have five points from five matches, but like Spurs their biggest scalp was a win over Manchester United. 34-year old Glenn Murray leads Brighton with four goals. Spurs could only manage a draw here last season. It’s not a gimme.
Spurs are without keeper Hugo Lloris, but Dele Alli and Moussa Sissoko returned to training this week and could be set for a return to the side.
COYS!

- 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 verboten. It’s fine to say “wow, that’s a bad call, match official,” 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. Observe Wheaton’s Law. 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. Nobody loves a potty mouth. Also, language that is sexist, racist, or homophobic in nature will be swiftly deleted and you will be immediately banned. This is an open, supportive community.
- Have fun, and COYS!
