Good morning.
The buck toothed toad returns to the Barclays Premiership. What joy. I’m actually more interested in how his theatrics – oh sorry make that his cheating – is managed by the officials.
Liverpool were thumped 4-0 at The Lane and it’s a struggle to see a repeat of that happening this evening. Their form has seen what wannabe business types might refer to as a moderate upswing, underpinned largely by consistent home form.
Anfield hasn’t become a fortress as such it’s just that they have yet to lose at home this season having drawn 7 times. The side effect of this is of course that points win prizes and you only get one point for a draw.
Team news then. Van der Vaart is the usual – a question mark over his fitness – but will probably play. Defoe and Adebayor are less likely. Azza Blud has a hamstring and so is highly unlikely to feature. If he’s not 100% it’s preferable he doesn’t. Word is that Ryan Half Nelson has travelled.
So based upon who’s available here’s the likely starting XI:
That brings us to the part of the show where we consider making a prediction or two. For the fan who doesn’t fight form, the draw is 12/5. For the supporter looking for love, Saha as first goalscorer is 8/1.
Spurs love an early-bird special and add to that some insurance so Tottenham Half Time, The Draw Full Time is an enterprising 12/1.
Me? Oh I’m on a 2-3 win at 40’s :daumen: All prices courtesy of Hotspur’s Half Hour’s Official Bookie, Boylesports.
Keep it Tottenham and BIOYBDC!
With our injuries, it is a shame this game was not snowed off.
Any points tonight will be a bonus.
We get to play Liverpool when Suarez is available and Newcastle when their ANC players are back. Not the best of timing but we still have a good gap between us and the chasing pack.
Like to see Krank continue in place of VDV if he has fitness doubts. Otherwise the team HH has picked.
That’s a player I missed. He looked like he meant business last time. Good call.

Is there an echo in here?
One at a time please.
Its important not to get too emotional. A cold hard bit of steel up ’em is what’s required. Otherwise, steal their bin lids and giant cymbal sandwich them.
My ever so cunning plan is to get the team to drink gallons of DavJuice, ask Sid Trotter to do the tactics and get Mus to do a rousing speech before KO- That way, it’ll be the same as being in the Scousers changing room! ;-) COYS ‘Appen’
That just proves what many of us have suspected all along.
David Pleat, welcome to the blog :freu
How ever did you recognize me in this very grubby and stained Mackintosh?
you shouldn’t have tried paying me in pre-decimal coins – tight arse
Can you change these two florins and a groat for a handful of farthings please?
You can still pay the candle makers with them!
From what I’ve heard Ade is going to be fit enough to play. My team for tonight would be:
Freidel
Walker King Kaboul Ekotto
Parker Sandro
VDV Modric Bale
Adebayor
Plenty of cover and running in Sandro and Parker with Modric able to drop in there if needed. Full backs bombing on on the counter with Bale and VDV Support Ade and having a certain amount of licence to ‘rip it up’
