1. All those Spurs fans

I can’t describe how jealous I am of all the Tottenham fans that will be in attendance today at Wembley. It will be the single biggest gathering of Spurs fans in history. I can’t imagine how much that’s going to help the club on the pitch.

Just stop and try to imagine how it’s going to feel for the Spurs players when they step on the pitch. They’re going to walk out there, and be enveloped by the crowd. Their eyes will be covered with a sea of Spurs fans, and their ears will be bombarded with a wall of pro-Tottenham noise. It’s going to be so special.

More from Tottenham Hotspur

I don’t think Monaco’s players are ready for the atmosphere that they’re going to encounter. In particular, some of their young players are going to struggle to deal with the magnitude of the occasion.

Wembley is going to be an absolute madhouse and it should be a huge boost for the home team. Look for Tottenham to ride the wave of the crowd to a convincing win over Monaco.
