A win today would go a far way in cementing us in the top four. It is not going to be easy though. COYS!​

Tough one this. Unfortunately I'm driving my drunk mother and her three equally drunk friends around north Cornwall so won't get the result until after the game. Good luck the Spurs!

It's a herbal remedy for muscle fatigue and cognitive dissonance.

Was just jesting that Bullets post was a bit odd grammatically.

Come on you!

Fair enough. I hadn't read the OP.

Dr Freund posted as I was typing TBF, making it less obvious, should have quoted Bullet...

Anyway, this is a very tough one, hope we can strangle their gusto with high possession and a couple of goals before 60minutes.

Team to watch – Tottenham

Burnley, Swansea, Watford, Bournemouth, Crystal Palace. In the next four weeks, Tottenham face five of the bottom eight teams in the Premier League. Take 12 points or more from those five matches and, given the fixtures facing those around them, their place in next season’s Champions League will be close to a mathematical certainty. Slip up, and further punishment awaits in the three subsequent games against Arsenal (h), West Ham (a) and Manchester United (h).


Spurs beat Southampton without Harry Kane; theirs is far, far more than a one-man attack. But even in that victory there were signs that the players understand the magnitude of this Premier League 2016/17 final lap. In interviews players still talk of catching Chelsea, but their ability to keep their noses ahead of Arsenal and their other top four rivals is what they will be judged upon.


This Saturday, Mauricio Pochettino takes his team to Turf Moor, where Burnley have only lost to Arsenal and Manchester City since the opening day. One of those was achieved via a late, controversial goal and the other after falling 1-0 behind. Even Chelsea, supremely dominant over the last six months, could only manage a 1-1 draw. While Antonio Conte concluded that a draw was sufficient to maintain their title challenge, Pochettino will know that only a victory will do to consolidate second place.


Since December 2014, Tottenham have played 13 away games in all competitions in which Kane has not started. They have won three, drawn five and lost five, scoring only ten times. Now’s the time to address that dirge.

Easy Peasy Lemon.
You know how it goes.
I appreciate that we are all protecting ourselves from disappointment
and tripping delicately round the facts to avoid 'The Jinx' factor.
But
Burnley are 13th. with a GD of -11and have half(ish) as many points as we have-
They've won 2 of their last ten and haven't won in five.
Their home record is good and they've had a couple of good results.
But this should be one of our run-in bankers if we want to finish in the top 2/3

Come on.
We should win this by 2 clear goals.
If we don't, blame me.
However on Score I have predicted a 2-1 win because I don't want to appear pushy.

I'd probably say hello first.

 

[Spurger King]

Walker to get on the score sheet. You heard it here first.

Time to smash someone away from home. Let's make a statement, coys.
