With only 6 days before our first premier league match we welcome Italian club Roma to White Hart Lane. Roma finished second in last years Serie A finishing only 3 points behind champions Inter. Roma should provide just the sort of test needed ahead of our first premier league match against Middlesbrough as we look to continue the good form shown in pre-season with a win in front of our fans.

News from the Spurs camp is that all of our current new signings will be in the squad for today's match so those lucky enough to be going today with get a glimpse of Luka Modric, Giovani Dos Santos, Heurelho Gomes and David Bentley at White Hart Lane for the first time. Full team news will be post when it comes through from Spurs Mobile.

Don't forget to check Geez's Live Media Thread for all your viewing and listening options.

COME ON YOU SPURS!

Be very interested to see our starting line-up. Hopefully it will give us an indication as to Ramos' preferred starting eleven and formation.

Also, as this will be far the hardest of our pre-season friendlies, the tempo and style could vary slightly to what we have seen before.

That would probably be my starting 11 as well. Of course we have to hope King and Woodgate are fit and raring to go. :)

Does it look to anyone else like Bale isn't at all in Ramos' plans for the LB slot next season? Either that, or he's just being rested again because these foreign bastards think it's a 'rite laff' to clatter the poor lad at every fucking oppertunity.

Dissapointed by the 4-4-2 line-up. Don't think thats the way to go this season but hope I'm wrong.

in about 5mins, so people are saying.

Last Pre-season game and berbatov starts.... would have liked to see Gunter at RB, but Zokora has done well there.

Woodgate/King 45mins each?
