Biggest game of the season so far. This is THE London derby.. It's a late kick off and the atmosphere will be something else. I think we'll win but not by much. 2-1 I reckon. It seems both sets of fans aren't confident. I saw Spurs v Cardiff and they really were nothing special... Just as long as we get our customary season win against this lot i'll be happy!
Going to be tight I suspect but a must win for us really to keep piling the pressure on City and keep the gap on Liverpool. After this we have 9 left of which apparently 6 are against the bottom 7. Not really sure that's a great thing at this stage of the season. Last thing we need is teams fighting for their survival who were rolling over for others earlier in the year.
Get a win this weekend and have the points on the board. 9 and 7 points over the others will put real pressure on them not to screw up at all.
Exactly, this is why it is such a key fixture. 3 games in hand but 9 points off and fixtures piling up + plus a potentially harder run in,would ramp the pressure right up on City. Dropped points this weekend will negate that completely. Form and quality suggests we should win but Spurs have caused us a lot of problems in the league of late. Think we've drawn our last 2 at the bridge as well against them.
Had all our memberships suspended by John Cotton, security honcho, for a 'ticketing offence'. And all our Spurs tix withheld. Working now anyway but gutted. Will watch at work: only missed two home Spud games since 78/9 Gutted! Game of the season. Atmos at the 2-2 last year was incredible
Jose's record is played 3 at home versus Spurs and won 2 (2-1 and 1-0) drawn 1 (0-0) I would take a 1-0, hopefuly Adebayor has an off day.
should be two up before 29 mins.. greediness of Hazard (Lamps for PK) & Eto'o (put schurrle through on) keeps spuds on par. All the centers are right on Six yard box. Cech is tested with 3 six yarders already and that is not even 30 mins. on a side note against Real last week, Atleti kid had only 2 or 3 centers around 8 yards all game! Yes he came out and cleaned out several players to collect those 8/9 yarders. If spuds get anything out of today, I get a feeling they might run the goons to the end for the 4th spot.
