In typical Spurs fashion, it did not take long for the wheels to fall off. The lament of Mourinho and Conte, that our players always crumble under pressure, could be felt after the implosion against Chelsea and the late collapse at Wolves. Suspension to Romero and injury to Van de Ven meant that Eric Dier and Ben Davies, two players who should have been put out to pasture long ago, came in at CB with predictable results. At Molyneux, the manager and players reverted to the passive football... Spurs vs Villa, Sun Nov 26, 9 am ET ..read more

Early kick-off match 1230hrs UK time. We'll see how we do without Cuti, MVDV, Udogie and Madds. Arguably 4 of our top 6 players so far this season (Son and Vicario the others) Ash Phillips has been pulled from the U21's to hopefully do more than make up the numbers in the first team squad. I'm sure Wolves have been doing their homework regarding our high-line tactics. Always interested to see how we'll adapt with different players. Prediction 3-2 to Spurs ..read more

Monday 6th November 20:00 GMT Big game. One week away. It's at home too. I remember in 2006 Michael Dawson and Aaron Lennon winning 2-1 vs Mourinho, and Oliver Skipp's screamer winning 2-0 last season. All of our games could be anything from 2-0 to 2-2 this season, so far. I'll go for 1-0 to Spurs ..read more

Bissouma could return after his one game ban, but he is one yellow away from another ban. They are without Eberechi Eze, Michael Olise, Dean Henderson and James Tomkins ..read more

The Cottagers cross the capital to take on Spurs in the final fixture of matchweek 9. Fulham have taken 11 points from their first 8 games, but have struggled to score following the departure of Mitrovic. We will be without Bissouma (one-match ban), which means Hojbjerg is likely to slot into midfield alongside Sarr. Son and Romero both picked up knocks on international duty so hopefully the extra couple of days will have helped them recover ..read more

Will be getting up at 4 am-ish to watch Spurs attempt to move up one place in the table (you will note, as a Spurs supporter, I have avoided tempting fate by saying 'if we win, we would go XXX'). Yes, there is life after VAR-gate and Luton Town await at Kenilworth Road. They got their first win away to Everton on Saturday (does anyone lose to Toffees these days?) but followed that up with a midweek home loss to Burnley. We are without Brennan Johnson (hamstring) and now Manor Solomon,... Luton Town vs Spurs, obscenely early kickoff time for folks in the Mighty Pacific Northwest ..read more

Johnson is definitely out with hamstring tightness, while Son and Maddison will be assessed. Just a reminder that we are a couple of key injuries away from being pretty average. There is not much beyond our best XI (this is a recording ..read more

If we get anything from this, I'll be happy. Our PL record at the New Library is 1 win, 5 draws and 11 defeats, with no clean sheets. Maybe AP can use some of that Greek voodoo to channel the ghost of Younes Kaboul ..read more

Gio is the only player out, our internationals all returned in one piece, which is a rarity for us ..read more
