Spurs tomorrow, absolutely vital they pick up three points with a decent display. Fixtures are a bit strange this season, seem to have a reasonably easy set of home fixtures, so should be picking up plenty of points at the new ground, but the away fixtures have not been kind.
Away fixtures for the first half of the season up until Xmas
Man City
Arsenal
Leicester
Brighton
Liverpool
Everton
West Ham
Man United
Wolves
Given that Spurs lost their last six Prem away games of last season, could have hoped for a few gimmees to get our away form back up to scratch.
I was quite optimistic earlier in the day but looking at that set of brutal away fixtures, Brighton aside, I may have to revise my thoughts on the season before a ball has been kicked.
Man City, Arsenal, Liverpool and Man United in our first eight away games of the season.
Cups it is then.
With the season kicking of for

The Eriksen situation will be interesting. Will he be left out until the window closes and he’s either still here or gone? Or will he be treated as part of the squad?
I’d personally leave him out. If Toby and Walker are bench marks then he will.
He’s not done too much wrong really apart from making that public statement which he didn’t really need to do. But for me, once they say they want go, they can
----------------------------------------------------------------------
There are two ways of looking at this, if he doesn`t want to play for the club, then absolutely he should be left out. On the other hand, he is still one of our better players, and if he is at the club, then surely he has to play.
I really cannot make up my mind on this one.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
For me he doesn't play until either he signs a new contract or the window closes for clubs in Europe.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
How Spursy would it be if Poch played him and he picked up a long term injury.
He must not play today unless he has signed a new deal.

I`d play Eriksen, if he wants a dream move, surely he will be busting a gut to put in a MOTM performance to impress his suitors

not a day for pretty football, gonna really test our defence which will be interesting, a day when you need someone to get the ball into the box acurately and consistantly do we have anyone?

Why do you think Villa are really going to test our defence? They are hardly Barcelona. Spurs should be on the front foot for most of the match.

You will hardly notice the wind in the stadium mate, it is well protected from the elements.

Just like he did in the cl final?
He's too much of a sulker for that.
He thought the monster European clubs would be falling over themselves to get him and it hasn't happened (yet).

I think he gets the next two weeks old and see what happens.
Hopefully we get a couple of wins and it’s not even an issue

Be nice to go to Anfield and beat Liverpool, they absolutely mugged us last season, nailed on penalty at Wembley turned down, Sissoko missed an absolute sitter at Anfield, then Lloris gifted them the winner, then they got lucky with the first minute handball in the final. They used up all their luck in one season against us.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Sandy you’ve beaten us once in the past 7 years mate we can’t be lucky we lost once a few years back.
