By massive default, I stand corrected.

Is their new ground actually confirmed?

They've started building it as far as I know.

The area has been fenced off for a couple of seasons but they've only just reached agreement with the final business that needs to move. The owners were trying to hold out but then their premises mysteriously burned down

The owner of the above is a Villa fan according to the press reports.
The whole development includes a college and all sorts I believe so it is possible that work had commenced on these parts.

I quite like WHL, it has a bit if character , it will be sad to see another generic meccano affair go up in its place. The view from the away end upper tier is pretty impressive .

It's in the middle of an absolute shithole though.

I remember going to an England-Holland friendly there in 2001 and a man dangling his pet dog over the balcony of his flat and threatening to drop it on us.

I found a slightly more scenic walk to the ground yesterday headed south from the north circular down past the tesco and ikea then cut through an industrial estate and 20 mins later hey ho you are on the boulevards of Tottingham

Love this bit - "I thought we deserved it. I wouldn't care if we didn't deserve it as long as we got them."

This was our performance of the season for me. Great display. Some good football. But it was particularly pleasing given the state of our squad going into the game, and during it. We had TC, Vlaar and Richardson coming back from injuries in recent weeks. We then lost two players to injury during the game. Bacuna got a knock in the game but played till the end. Weimann took a knock and struggled on till the end. Vlaar and Richardson both looked unfit on tuesday but managed 90 minutes yesterday. Sanchez still struggles past 60 minutes too.
It was a gargantuan effort. Absolutely fucking brilliant display. The players are falling apart physically it seems, but to take on the "Mighty" Spurs. The "pride of London." The side what that Harry Kane fella plays for. The team who bought a 26 million pound striker on from the bench...to come through having given them a good seeing to, in a game we could have won 3-0, where they barely had a chance of note, was fantastic.

My missus sees a lot of planning proposals in her line of work. She reckons Tottenham will be unrecognisable by the end of the decade.

Yes it will be Edmonton.

After the game Sherwood said that Clark had 'Tweeked his Medial...'
Gabby was on the pitch after, so my thoughts would be that he came off as a precaution. Tight rather than a pulled Hamstring.

[Matt Collins]

I thought he'd also said that both were significant doubts?

[nigel]

Have to admit that I wasn't really listening.
I just caught the Clark quote.
I'm only surmising that Gabby's was only a precaution as he was on the pitch at the end.
