Really looking forward to Spurs v Inter, although the ****fest that is Sky's punditry will inevitably be a must-not-see.

[Bender]

Think there will be plenty of goals in this

[Shaggy]

I'm hoping Spurs and Redknapp's naivety comes to the fore, they have a right go at Inter and play into Rafa's hands. Despite the two injury time goals that put such a flattering sheen on the result the other week, Rafa schooled Redknapp and I expect him to do the same again.

Can see Eto'o exploiting spurs defense........redknapp doesn't know the art of defending or closing a game down.

[Fredo]

I'm sure Rafa is quietly relishing this, especially with the events of the last 3 or 4 weeks. I expect him to squeeze the juice out of Spurs and Redknapp; condense the play and make life as hard as possible for them.

Has Rafa brought over a strong team? Anyone injured?

Cambiasso and Cesar are out injured.

[IN_RAFA_WE_TRUST]

Is big sally playing against his old boss then? Cesar i dont like anyway.

[Shaggy]

I don't like him either, he's one of the most overrated players in the world IMO. No idea who the back up is though.

I don't think Muntari will start personally.

[IN_RAFA_WE_TRUST]

All eyes will be on the boss

Both Spurs and Inter have odds of 13/8 to win.

I've gone pretty big on Inter. I'm confident they'll win.

[IN_RAFA_WE_TRUST]

I'm looking at the Werder v Twente game, maybe a few goals in that one. Twente beat PSV the other day and are now sitting top of the dutch league.

[wiw]

In the back of my mind I've got a bad feeling Spurs will fluke a result, but then I think of Rafa's (peerless?) record away in Europe. Inter FTW

What's 'pretty big' ?
