Sitting about to have my hair cut and realised that it's my fault for these five defeats and no goals. Last time I had my ears lowered was the morning before Arsenal, so it's my unlucky locks that have been effecting the team, having ditched the good form barnet.

We will win tomorrow now I have a fresh hair do.

Make it a crew cut to be on the safe side.

Number 1 all over.

I've decided not to shave until we score a goal. Magical thinking right there.

I've not shaved since before the goalless run began. It'll mean upsetting a two-year-old, but he'll get over it; the beard will be gone by tomorrow.

I might do the same. Chances are we'll both end up starting a ZZ Top tribute band though.

Michael Owen has predicted us to win tomorrow....just in case anyone was not worried!

Did he do so in the most boring way imaginable? Did you have to watch/read his prediction in instalments, with ample naps in between?

Tomorrow is less about players and formations than it is about approach and attitude. We have the players to win this game. It will hinge on how we approach the game and you'll figure that out inside 5 minutes. If like we have been we start the game with allowing them to dictate play and keeping the ball, not only does it set the tone for the game by also how the fans in the stadium, already on edge, will view events. The very last thing any of us want to see is an early stat of how much more possession Spurs has than us. Because even if they are not playing particularly well, those kinds of stats invariably lead to predictable outcomes for us.

Quinn did on Talkdross this morning as well.

If we are without Senderos and Hutton I struggle to see us winning this one.

Somehow scoring a goal would be an improvement.

My guess: 1-3.

We always end a slide with a draw.   We will throw away a two goal lead in the last quarter and it will feel worse than a defeat.   2 - 2 for me.

To create some additional depression apparently Ronaldo has scored 20 times since our last goal!

You bastard!! I was just trawling through everywhere to find a suitable thread on which to share that nugget.
