Spurs build up thread

[ronanm]

Don't fancy it. Whenever I think of us at White Hart Lane I don't have good memories (last day of the season last season aside!). They'll be chomping at the bit after last nights performance and as it's top vs. bottom will be determined to emphasise the gulf is not that great.

They shipped 4 goals last night though so that's encouraging - seem more adept at attacking than defending and that'll suit us. Keane should be back with Riera - probably a bit too early for Torres. Agger should come back too as Bent is pacy...

I have a hunch Hyppia may start.

it'll be a reality check for 'arry. pool win 3-1. arsenals defense is nothing like ours. bently modric too lightweight in the middle - macherano will scare the **** out of them

[Scaramanga]

Spurs were never really in it last night - only some shambolic defending by Arsenal and a Bentley wonder goal let them salvage a draw from nowhere. If we play the same as we did against Chelsea we'll pulverise them

[-V-]

I do fancy it. Let them come out and play with confidence. Then we will just rip them open. If Torres is fit i can see us scoring a ****load of goals

[The_weatherman]

Reina

Arbeloa
Carra
Agger
Dossena

Mascher
Alonso

Kuyt
Gerrard
Riera

Keane/Torres

If team is something like that and we don't win, the players will only have themselves to blame.

Let's see if Redknapp is still so upbeat after the game on Saturday reckon Torres will be back and tear them apart

Release the Dogs !!!

think it's too early for him, he'll be in the reserves game first I think then one to the first team again

Arsenal looked very dangerous from set pieces and scored a couple. We probably won't.

However, as long as Hutton is playing, Fernando should have some fun.

And Arsenal have never particularly looked dangerous at set pieces - we should have a field day with that comedian Gomes in goal!!

Spurs were well up for Arsenal, as always. They'll be buoyed by the draw but as long as Gerrard doesn't come out and say our lady's team could beat them, we should be able to snatch a 1-0

I'll take that at the moment. Tricky match this. Harry's teams are usually hard for us to beat

[dww]

Arsenal's midfield was paper thin defensively and exposed the fact that both fullbacks got forward - we won't do that and I don't think that without that Spurs have that much firepower. We need to get some cutting edge ourselves. Hopefully Keane is fit as I don't think Gerrard off Kuyt was particularly successful and Babel didn't look on form cutting inside.

Good luck to those going - that is the most feckin awful walk from the station to the ground.
