    Big game for us. Bale missing, what are our chances? I know we have a good record against Man City but I feel they will be looking for blood after us beating them at home last season to clinch 4th.

    I reckon it will be 1-1

    Sure as hell won't be 1-1, both sides like to attack so I'm going for a high scoring game. I think we'll create plenty of chances, it'll depend on what form Gomes is in and if anyone in a Spurs shirt can hit the back of the net. And Redknapp don't start with Pavlyuchenko either, with one win in 12 isn't exactly great from, but I still fancy us tonight. 3-2 to Spurs!

    I'll agree with this, though to be fair, City wouldn't even need to be rampant to beat us. We can't beat Blackpool/West Ham at home, what chance do we have away to a top team? It's clear from recent performances that most players are thinking only about their summer holidays.

    Yup the players seem to lift themselves for the big matches. Its a pity we had that dreadful result v Blackpool but a win tonight still gives us a slight chance of Champions league football again.

    ah feck it, lets just win a game.

    Not particularly optimistic based on our current form but you never know, I think if Modric is out we'll definitely struggle - will be curious to see our line-up.

    5 changes from last weeks horror show vs Blackpool

    Glad to see Carlo get his chance.


    The two holding midfilders should give Lennon/Modric and VDV plenty od scope to attack.

    Good ol' Harry's gonna give it a lash to night thats for sure!:D

    This time last year (almost), I went to the pub to watch this game and my wife went into labour!!! Shortly afterwards was the most amazing moment of my life.

    Wow, this fixture is the epitome of a reverse. This time last year we needed to win to secure 4th, City can do it tonight. Crouch scored for us to win the game, Crouch scores an OG tonight to put City 1 up.

    Typical of our season, 60% possession, Luka misses a sitter and we go 1 down....

    Makings of a great game if we can get back into it?! COYS!

    ^^^^

    I was just thinking the same thing.
    I'd have put my house on Modric to score that - he's stroked them home before just like that. The whole damn team is struggling to put the bal in the net. Correction - the right net!

    4 goals in god knows how many games for Crouch and his best 1 is a great touch into his own net...

    Pity about Palacios going off so early, though I would've gone for Kranjcar ahead of Pienaar in the sub...

    Palacios doesn't offer anything, I for one was glad to see him go off. He can't complete a five yard pass for christ sake.

    Same as whole season . Loads of possession and not able to create chances. It's cos we only have one striker up front and the other fella is running and racing all the way back to left back ..... Again. I can't bear watching how vdv pulls the team so much out of shape and has done so time and time again

    Well thank f**k thats over.

    The whole will we/wont we make 4th place as been a dragging on for weeks and in typical spurs fashion it was long and painful. ****e result after ****e result and somehow we still had a chance. Well the better team is going through to the CL and they will probably be there for years to come.


    Saturdays game means neither team have CL to play for so you can stick your mortgage on liverpool giving is a good spanking.
