Expected lineup but deary me, Mata starts again.

Maybe Marseille feel they have an adequate player to take Azpilicueta's place tomorrow night.

Maybe it's because Marseille are only playing against Sheriff Tiraspol from Moldova, hence they don't need Azpilicueta...

This is getting really annoying!

BREAKING NEWS: POLL RESULTS DO NOT DETERMINE THE OUTCOME OF A MATCH!

So that means this transfer is nowhere near done yet?!

He has taken 4 penalties for us including the one in Munich but only scored 1, which was against QPR in the FA Cup. Missed twice against Birmingham and the other was obviously in Munich.

Saw on Twitter that this match will be shown live in 96 countries and not one of them is England. Joke!

That wasn't what I meant! My point was he is leaving more because of wanting to help Marseille with their financial problems rather than him actually wanting to leave.

Our chase for another stiker will likely to drag on till the very last minute of the transfer window. Agree. Used to have that fear factor at the Bridge back then but not so much now sadly. Our home record last season was appalling when you compared it to the previous seasons. Heck, even under Grant we managed to went unbeaten throughout the season!

Long time no see mate.

Well, at least it's more spacious now in the dugout rather the staffs and players having to cramp in that one small area previously.

Encouraging to hear him performing well in his first game. Hope he keeps it up.

Well, if Azpilicueta can show his worth and perform well, then it's a coin toss really between him and Ivanovic. The latter have at times not performed well in the big games mind you.

That's my point really. If that is true, then you have got to question AVB's management again. Don't think Levy would get himself involved in team matters and only recently too Dawson spoke about working under AVB.

Only last week AVB said Dawson will be the captain going into the season and one week later, he has been shown the door at the club...

Looks beautiful I have to say.

To say I'm disappointed with Carvalho joining QPR is an understatement.

Obviously but the point is, it's only the start of the season and with 1 week break before we face Atletico Madrid next week after this Saturday, I don't see the need to rotate players for today, certainly not a lot anyway.

Think Mata will be rested. Cahill will come in for Luiz already and maybe Bertrand being replaced by Ramires...

Funny how they throw De Bruyne in there when he is on loan at another country while the others are currently playing in England. If that is the case, I would throw Courtois in ahead of Mignolet.

Seems that the Spurs fans are beginning to find out why we all had problems with AVB last season...

Invalid reason. They failed to win at the weekend because they didn't take their chances or the opposition were just better than them, not because they didn't get enough rest or anything like that.
