The rubber now hits the road. Preseason is done, there’s no more warm-ups, and there’s three points on the line.
Tottenham Hotspur kick off their 24/25 Premier League campaign today against newly promoted Leicester City. Are you excited? Terrified? All of the above? One thing’s for sure, expectations are sky high after a strong preseason and some splurges in the transfer market - not to mention even more time for Ange-ball to bed in.
It’ll be a chance for Spurs fans to welcome back Harry Winks as well, now a key part of Leicester’s midfield; and to potentially farewell Oliver Skipp as he nears a possible move to the Foxes.
The waiting’s over - let’s do this.
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!
