I've disliked Spurs for quite a while now so knocking them off their perch is of paramount importance for me. Plus we need to bounce back immediately & get that winning feeling back.

Another tough fixture. Obviously I'm hoping to see a slightly less disjointed and error prone defence.

Will be interesting to see which attacking players are selected; Coutinho was sloppy vs City whilst Markovic was a threat, plus Mario will be available. Possible change in starting formation?

Must win from my perspective as a few ex workmates are spurs season ticket holders. A win would be a great result and I think we are more than capable of getting one.

Nice thread Mudds. Some graphics and maybe match times for our American and Australian friends would be a nice touch

it will be a tough game. Hate to say it but Spurs are a good team and Pochettino is a very good coach/manager.

Looks about right

Lallana should be fit for this - probably on the bench.

Hopefully Moreno's ankle is ok. Be great to see Lallana back in the squad.

Although if fit I'd have Flano in place of Manquilo

[I, Ravel Morrison]

We'll probably go into the match as the underdogs.

Suits us down to the ground

The right time and place to get a winning run going.

Thanks Gee.

Graphics are so last week, but I take on board the critique with regards to kick off times around the globe. Worthy of it's five star rating, I'm sure you'll agree.

Indeed. A top, top effort.

[brightred]

I hope spurs go all out and attack, them being at home etc.

Would suit us down to the ground.

4-0 to us then

Happy days

Hmmm 6/10. Solid effort but something about the title just doesn't look quite right.
