00:00And in terms of Newcastle on Sunday,
00:01they've obviously got a really good recent record against Spurs.
00:04The game in Australia, I know it was a friendly, but it was much closer.
00:08So what can you take away from those games last season going into Sunday's match?
00:12Yeah, a bit of a contrast.
00:13I thought obviously here at home we did really well against them,
00:16but fair to say up there we didn't.
00:20But it was a good learning curve for us that game
00:23because we started the game OK, but then we conceded
00:27and we kind of lost probably for the first time all year our composure in a game.
00:33And, you know, we allowed them to score quickly.
00:35And you know what it's like up there.
00:37The crowd created a brilliant atmosphere for their team
00:40and we just didn't handle it at all well.
00:43It was a good sort of learning curve for a lot of our players
00:46who, you know, it was their first sort of exposure to a game like that,
00:49to an atmosphere like that.
00:50So, you know, obviously we want to have learnt from that.
00:54But it's still a tough game.
00:56I think any time you go up, you know, play against Newcastle on their home ground,
00:59it's a tough game.
01:02You know, they've got some outstanding players in their team.
01:05They're well coached and it's going to be a great challenge for us.
