Win this game today and Spurs will be six points better off than in the identical fixtures last season.... Tottenham Hotspur Premier League Points Won 1992-93 to 2012-13 ...and without wanting to get too far ahead of myself, a win next time out at home to Manchester United would put us nine points better off than the identical 2011-12 fixtures.
Tottenham's price has been shortening all week; shortened in the time it's taken me to type this post. 88% of the money has been placed on us to win, 5% on the draw, and a miserable 7% on QPR. It's been a predictable market and I see a predictable result. Tottenham to win both halves @4.90 looks good.
Lloris, Walker, Verts, Dawson, Naughton, Lennon, Sandro, Dembele, Bale, Ade, Defoe Subs are Freidel, Caulker, BAE, Parker, Hudd, Sigg and Dempsey
AVB seems to like to bring back players gradually. Helps that Naughton hasn't been doing badly at LB, if we had a lack of cover there I suspect he may have been rushed back
Seems that Villas-Boas has kept up his policy of picking those who've done well for him and asking others to force their way into the side. I'd have preferred to see Assou-Ekotto back, in all honesty, but it's consistent from the manager. I actually thought that he might've left out Defoe today and picked Dempsey with Adebayor. Try to avoid any risk of injury to Defoe and see if the American can keep up his goalscoring form, albeit a few relatively cheap ones.
