Spuds manager moaning white hart lane is too small , that's why they are losing

Sounds like he is preparing his excuses for only beating us 3-0 on Sunday on our pitch which is too big for his team.

[ROBBO]

I'm amazed that anyone can see us scoring let alone winning, yes Spurs are poor at the moment but we are diabolical and are the ideal side to play a poor team into form.

[Billy Walker]

A high scoring game - Villa will come out fighting and win.

It's a bit early for the cooking sherry isn't it old chap?

I'm running on pure Buckfast!

It's been a very strange and inconsistent season so far for almost every team and we are all capable of taking points from each other.  We've lost our momentum but I feel we can return to the kind of performances that beat Hull earlier in the season.

[LeeB]

It will be a shit 0-0, and we'll be grateful of it.

We've lost 5 in a row, they've won 1 in 7 in the league. Sky must be rubbing their hands in glee at the meeting of such 2 in form sides.

2 in 8 it is then.

Lambert often goes with fan consensus.   So expect Cleverly 'in the hole'.

Excellent work

As opposed to an overpaid under performing squad

How much is their wage bill and can you show it in a spreadsheet?

Sorry Rob.  Really pathetic attempt at being amusing based on the endless debates there were on here towards the end of MON's reign, regarding the comparative extravagance of wage bill v theirs.

Ah. Long day. Missed it.

Unusual for Harry's clubs to have a lower wage bill. Was that the source of previius debate?

Plus they actually can afford it.

So welcome to one of the biggest on Sunday.

[WestleyArmsAV]

2-1 Benteke, Cleverly.

Awful home atmosphere again, roll on West Ham away next week.

Spurs might not be on a great run of form, but neither were QPR and probably countless other sides I can't remember. We specialise in sorting shit sides out with an easy 3 points and I don't think Sunday will be any different.

I really hope I'm wrong.

Benteke is ring rusty, it would be typical Spurs to let him score his way into form.

That blade cuts both ways.
