Still have 5th to play for. Sunday will be the first and hopefully only time that I want Chelsea to win a match. Providing of course we beat Stoke.

Mauricio on Stoke: "It’s one of the hardest games in the @premierleague." Watch - http://spurs.to/MPpreviewStoke

I can't bring myself to watch-translations welcome.

 

[ComfortablyNumb]

We still have 4th to play for.

If Palace hold Utd to a draw today, then L'Arse beat them, we could go in to the last round of games just two points behind Utd. We play Everton, who'll have nothing to play for; Utd have Hull, who'll probably have their Premiership future to play for. Stranger things have happened...

Prediction time....



Charlie Adam will kick Lamela into touch in the ?? minute?



I'm going early - 18

 

[TheChosenOne]

.and Lamela will kick him back, on the not so sly.

 

[Mr Pink]

Real nail biter for fourth this, nervous.

COYS.

 

[RickyVilla]

Fancy us to win to this now 4th is pretty much out of the question. Give Mason a rest and get Benji out there. Rest Eriksen and start Dembele.

 

[Locotoro]

Benji has the highest win percentage of any member of the squad

 

[Syn_13]

Benji has the highest win percentage of any member of the squad

He hasn't played many games though, and it's mostly been against cup competition.

Not saying that he isn't worth a shot, because I've actually liked what I've seen of him so far. I do think he deserves more of a run out, particularly since he's meant to be a combative player, and this is definitely a game for one.

Edit: Plus, I'm bored of the Mason/Bentaleb combo. I've seen enough of it to know that it doesn't work as well as it should.

 

[Everlasting Seconds]

The fight for 5th is still on. I expect some real desire to win this one, a real passionate performance. I worked out extremely hard with real desire for 90 minutes nigh without breaks this morning, if I can do it, paid professional footballer can jog around a green pitch for 90 minutes and act like they want to be there.

Tottenham's opponents today Stoke City have won just one of their last seven Premier League matches.
Tottenham Hotspur have lost only twice in six previous league visits to the Britannia Stadium.
Harry Kane's goals have won more points (22) than any other Premier League player this season.

Harry Kane blank and a 1-0 loss it is then

COYS sod the Tories

 

[kursaal]

Loads of chants for GREAVSIE today. The best goalscorer these Islands have ever produced. Let GREAVSIE know we love him. "GREAVSIE, GREAVSIE, GREAVSIE, GREAVSIE, GREAVSIE, GREAVSIE"

 

[EnfieldYiddo]

Gutted no Rose, we lose a lot of our attacking threat minus him

 

[yankspurs]

Rose is on the bench today. Vlad slides in at CB. Verts on the left. Only change. Poch is on crack.

 

[Jamturk]

Gutted no Rose, we lose a lot of our attacking threat minus him

Seems he is fit enough for the bench

 

[THFCSPURS19]

Dat back 4 tho.


On another note, how has Paulinho gone from starting against Newcastle and having a good game, to not even being on the bench- at a time where Mason probably shouldn't be starting.

Whatever. Does it really matter?
