The 16th season of The SPURS PREDICTION LEAGUE is almost upon us again. As I write this we have just 17 days to go before the first game of the new season away to Brentford and just 7 days later the opening home game against Man. United. I note from last season I wrote 'We are surely looking at potentially one of the most exciting seasons for SPURS in many years.' Wow! I could not have been more wrong but undaunted I will say the same about this season. We may not win anything again but with our new Australian manager will he take a leaf out of Stokes England team and create Bazball for Spurs? If you haven't played the game before, why not give it a try? It adds a little something to game day, and we certainly needed that last season. Enough of the bad memories, let's look forward to an exciting new season. All are welcome to take part (you don't have to be a Spurs fan) I only ask that you keep predicting to the end. The rules are set out below and by now it's well established that I never bend them, so don't bother to ask..

That's a good idea RCL it will be interesting to see how good you can be when trying to predict the outcome.
A long-time lurker on this forum as well as a long-suffering season ticket holder so I thought I would break cover and give this a go. I am always crap at this sort of thing according to my son who accompanies me to the games but I will start on an optimistic note: Brentford 1 - Tottenham 3. Kane (2) and one for Sonny.
