93 mins Goal disallowed - Late, late drama!
Costel Pantilimon is up for a corner, Tottenham head the ball away, Jan Vertonghen strokes the ball into the unguarded net but the linesman's flag is up. Why?
88 mins Goal! Tottenham 2-1 Sunderland - Christian Eriksen
Late drama! Substitute Andros Townsend has the energy to power away down the wing, he crosses low across the edge of the area for the onrushing Christian Eriksen who shoots first time into the bottom corner with Costel Pantilimon stranded.
74 mins Sub - Townsend for Dembele.
74 mins Sunderland sub - Graham for Defoe.

HALF TIME Tottenham Hotspur 1, Sunderland 1
31 mins Goal! Tottenham Hotspur 1, Sunderland 1 - Seb Larsson
Sunderland are back level and it is a peach of a free-kick by Seb Larsson. Jan Vertonghen brings down Jermain Defoe some 25 yards from goal and Larsson curls the free-kick up and over the wall and into the far corner.
29 mins YELLOW CARD Vertonghen for foul on Defoe.
2 mins Goal! Tottenham Hotspur 1, Sunderland 0

Kane hatter tomorrow, feel it in my waters. Defoe to score as well, natch.

Got a really good feeling about tomorrow which usually means the shit Spurs turn up. Really hope Mason is back and will be interested to see if Velkjovic is on the bench and, if so, at whose expense.

Their away record is pretty good it seems to be fair.

Their away record is pretty good it seems to be fair.

Picked up more points away from home than at home. 11 points away, 9 at home.

not so good against us in the PL.

13 games, they have won 1 drawn 1 and we have won 11

Please edit the title "Totenham" is hurting my eyes!

TITLE!!

As ever a relatively early goal would be massive. Despite all the Defoe hype, I fully expect him to be on the bench and their bus to be parked in proper fashion. No 4-4-2 an opening the game up, Poyet isn't that stupid. If they're still in the game with 20 minutes to go I'm sure Defoe will get on.

I just hope we arn't sluggish because that's a disastrous combination with a team that's come to sit very deep.

Oshea and Brown are getting on, hopefully we can expoit their lack of speed with some zippy interplay around their box. A fresh Eriksen and Kane should be too much for them.

3-1 Spurs but will be cagey enough. Expect it to only get comfortable in the last twenty minutes when they go for it and we get the third that kills it.

 

[Mr Pink]

Rumors on the Sunderland boards that they're going 4-4-2 with Defoe and Fletcher starting lol.

Please let it be true. An open game would suit us down to the ground, instead of break us down with ten men behind the ball like usual when facing bottom half sides at WHL.

Cattermole and Bridcutt out leaves them with a serious lack of steel in midfield. We need to go for the jugular.

Our own midfield without Bentaleb and Mason isn't that great either. But we should have enough to put them away. COYS.

 

[St José Dominguez]

Perfect world would be to be in a position to rest up Kane and Eriksen last twenty minutes as Wednesday game is huge. I expect it to be a tight game though.

 

[JUSTINSIGNAL]

I predict another game where we struggle to get the ball forward quick enough due to having no mason and Bentaleb and end up passing the ball a lot in front of their defence. Hopefully we nick a goal early or the game will be very frustrating.

Their away record is pretty good it seems to be fair.

That has included Palace (when Warnock was still manager), Leicester, Villa and Newcastle, though.

What are you implying? Don't forget Palace did beat us away very recently

Looking at that graphic I can't believe that lee cattermole only has 9 yellow cards... Surely he would be expecting to be well into double figures by now?

4-4-2 and Harry and Ade last term we smashed 'em 5-1.
