Lord Kane brace please.

 

[talkshowhost86]

About time to start the season please Spurs.

 

[carpediem991]

Must win or I am getting really nervous this season already...

 

[Insomnia]

Win tomorrow then we're unbeaten in four & have only lost once this Season

 

[JUSTINSIGNAL]

We'll win. Overall we've played well this season - looked alot more solid at the back and coherent in our pressing but we're just missing a bit of thrust going forward. I think the addition of Njie or Son to the side should help to add a different dimension to our attacking play starting with a win this weekend. COYS

 

[Davids_5]

Eriksen available?

 

[tototoner]

Are SKY billing this as a relegation 6 pointer yet ?

 

[Mr Pink]

Pretty confident regarding this game. Sunderland are so poor defensively, if we can't fill our boots in this fixture, as they'll come on to us which should suit us as the game opens up, we never will.

I'm going 3-0 Spurs. Kane brace and Chadli.

 

[thebenjamin]

they'll come on to us

Very much doubt that. It'll be 10 men behind the ball from the 1st whistle and hitting us on the counter.

Win tomorrow then we're unbeaten in four & have only lost once this Season

Very positive view of things!

 

[Shea]

I'm not confident really

While we're still very much trying to gel together and become a unit things aren't quite right still

We're not scoring goals, away from home we're not really created chances either

It's tough to win games when you're goal shy, especially when you're unsettled and susceptable on the counter still

Sunderland aren't doing great and look a bit of a shambles - I expect Defoe to score though so I think we may well need 2 or more to win the game

I think we should win really, we surely start the match as favourites - but I wouldn't be at all surprised if we dropped another two points

I hope you're not doing the pre match team talk.....

 

[Joeyboey]

Hope Kaboul plays.

Haven't said that in a very long time!

 

[yankspurs]

We should win but i'll be surprised if we dont. Eriksen, N'jie and Dembele are hurt. We're struggling to score, Poch doesnt play new signings after only a few days of training so we'll be void of pace. Sunderland are also struggling but you can count on an NLD last yesr type perfomance from Kaboul ans Defoe scoring 1 or 2 here. Also, we like to make poor opposition look decent.

 

[Nerine]

If we lose this, then I don't know...

 

[Jamturk]

Very important game this.

 

[mpickard2087]

I'll be in amongst the prawn sandwich brigade for this one, trying not to make it so obvious that I'm rooting for the away team. With a 500 mile round trip, plus early kickoff, we'd better win!

 

[Doctor Dinkey]

It'll be an awful game, that's for sure.
Neither Son nor N'jie will start so I don't know what everyone's going on about there.
I reckon Spurs to score early (Kane's first, everyone getting excited), we dominate, can't get a second, then Sunderland (Defoe) nabs one in the 80th minute.
1-1.
