f*** the international break - Let's have a week long pre match thread. Teams and predictions in here as usual lads. Personally i'd give Milner a rest, he's looked tired recently and desperately needs a break. Still undecided whether to play Harper or Given in nets, probably leaning towards Shay. Given
Beye Cacapa Faye Enrique
Geremi Butt Emre Zog
Owen Viduka
Harper
Taylor
Rozehnal
Barton
Martins Newcastle United 3-1 Spuds |

Predicting a genuine Owen injury from the placcy pitch unfortunately - its asking for trouble playing out there if you ask me
4-3-3 for me in this one
Given
Beye - Cacapa - Roz/Faye - Jose
Barton - Geremi - Emre
Martins - Dukes/Smudge - Zog
Subs
Harper
Roz/Faye
Taylor
Dukes/Smudge
Milner
Should beat this lot, for once the pressure is off us and we've got a nice little run against them going.
3-0

I agree with everything Scott Parker's 60's Haircut's said so far, he seems to have a good understanding on the whole concept, and speaks a great deal of sense.

Don't see the point in risking Barton from the start.

When teams are in bad form we are usually the team they get a win against. Predicting a defeat for us, if we win then ill be more happy.

Cant see both Emre and Barton starting this game although it would be nice. I always have a bad feelin about playin Spurs cos my best mate supports them.
Probably interchange between:
Given Given
Beye Faye Cacapa Enrique Beye Faye Cacapa Enrique
Geremi Butt Emre Nzogbia Geremi Butt
Emre
Smith Owen Owen/Smith Nzogbia
Owen/Smith
I reckon it'l be either 3-2 or 2-1.... to us.

Don't see any chance that Barton will start let alone alongside Emre.
Team i expect:
Given
Beye Cacapa Faye Enrique
Butt
Geremi
Emre
Milner Viduka Owen
or:
Given
Beye Cacapa Faye Enrique
Butt
Geremi
Milner N'Zogbia
Viduka
Owen
Close game but fancy Owen and Viduka to cause a few problems for them so prediction: 3-1.

Too optimistic some of you, spurs played (as much as i hate to say it) some class football against liverpool and i can see them giving us a rough ride.

true very true, although their defence is a joke frankly. i can see us causing them problems, but i dont think itll be a 900-0 thrashing like some people do. i can see us winning 3-2 in the final minutes though because i believe we are an excellent attacking team and although they are playing football, just because they got a draw at liverpool, doesnt mean they will come up here on a monday night and be even better. possible, but i like to think well win especially as im travelling 500 miles to see it!! |

Isn't Smith suspended?
I'd go with the team in my sig. I hope we attack and don't play too defensively in midfield. Got a bad feeling about this one for some reason.

This time, N'Zogbia, Butt, Barton and Shola almost definitely miss out, while Enrique, Taylor, Geremi, Owen and Martins almost definitely start. |

Was going to say. I'd go for the same team, but with Roz over Faye. Might be harsh dropping Faye after he had a great game against Everton, but I still prefer the Roz |

2-0 to the Toon I reckon.
More news on the Spurs front. Paul Kemsley is resigning as Vice Chaiman. Was a rumour that he was going to do a Dein and team up with Mike Ashley (when he sold NUFC), Philip Green (billionaire boss of BHS, Topshop etc) and Richard Caring (billionaire owner of Wentworth Golf Club amongst other interests with a views to buy out Levy. The likelihood of that happening seems to be just about nil.
Probably more accurate is that Kemsley's nose is out of joint right now, not getting enough recognition for what he's done with the redevelopment of WHL (nothing!), sorting out the new Academy (Planning application submitted) and excellent Annual Accounts (being released tomorrow).
I still think Levy will be selling up before the end of this season, but not to Kemsley.

What an awful, awful rumour. Ashley is a lifelong toon fan we'll have you know.  |

I think he'll stick to 4-4-2. Hope so, anyway; it was a pleasant surprise to see a more balanced starting eleven against Everton.
Viduka and Owen in for Smith and Martins, rest unchanged IMO.

Jolly, what sort of team will you put out?
There were a few carrying knocks, how fit they are now I don't know. About the only certainties are Robbo in goal and Berbatov and Keane up front. My guess for the other 8 would be Chimbonda-Dawson-Kaboul-Lee Malbranque-Hudd-Zokora-Bale Too many players with fluctuating form to see anything other than a home win. If they all played up to their Anfield form we'd have a good chance, but they're too erratic to have optimism on that scale. |
