Matt, seriously, who gives a monkeys about these types of stats?   The club has been in absolute chaos most of the times we've played Spurs recently and lots of clubs could pull out similarly impressive stats v us - all of which coincide with Randy's strategical implosion. 

They are a club we should be stuffing week in week out.  They've recently lost 3-0 away to Man Utd and were very average away to Burnley.  Without checking I think they've even lost at home to West Brom this season (or was it last?).  Going into this match with the mindset that we are about to face Real Madrid is self-defeating madness.  Get stuck into them and get the points.

Whilst I agree we shouldn't be surrending due to stats. I think that saying Spurs are a team 'we should be stuffing week in week out' is just nonsense. We're the position we are in the league for a reason and even if Spurs weren't great against Man Utd or Burnley across the season they've been fairly good.

They're a "club" we should be stuffing week in week out.   

As a team they're good on their day - maybe very good on their day - but they are certainly beatable.

Indeed, as they themselves would tell you after we went on a similarly long run of being unbeaten against them not so long ago.

I have just done the footie predicty thingy and have Hull finishing bottom. They have a terrible run in. But it's so tight, literally anything could happen, but I think 36 points will do it, 35 might with a better goal difference.

I have us staying up with a win against Burnley, who I also think will be safe!

Clearly I know nothing!

[Des Little]

Those predictor things are wicked tools of torture.  All you need to know is that if we win 2 and draw one of our games prior to playing Burnley, there's a very good chance we can turn up for that game in flip flops, a sombrero smoking a cigar and swigging from a magnum of Buckfast.

Spurs are not in a great run of form and have a pretty patched up defence.The finished against Burnley with LB Davies at CB alongside Dier.There attacking play was slow and ponderous and Burnely hassled and out worked them.It will be tough still as clearly we have our own issues in defence but there are there to be got at.Leicester put 3 past them only a few weeks back !!

I think at this point you have to be cliched and take each game as it comes.Who would have predicted QPR putting 4 past WBA away ...For me the shame in not beating QPR was not just the chance to pull clear it was the opportunity to drag WBA and Newcastle into it , the latter who are in freefall and have alot of injuries.

[PaulWinch again]

If we want to stand a chance of beating Spurs we'll have to make sure our pressing game is up to scratch. That means every player needs to put the hard yards in.

We can still pull them into it.  The Baggies have a very tough run in too and the pressure really is on them to beat Leicester on Saturday.

There are plenty of dire games to choose from but the two away games at Spurs under TSM and Lambert last season were absolute capitulations. Both were embarrassing. I assumed last seasons was so bad that the players couldn't be arsed because they knew Lambert would be sacked in the summer. How wrong they were

[MONCABA]

Keep Kane quiet and we'll be fine.

I think they will. Sherwood will light a rocket up every players arse for this game. He'll be desperate to win this one, possibly more so than any other game this season.

He'll be more desperate to beat Arsenal in the cup final!
