Same here.
Getting train from Watford around 6.20, just undecided whether to walk from Seven Sisters, or if I'll cram onto the train.

I know loads will predict a really tough game, as they love to pack the middle and frustrate with a zillion CBs all over the pitch.

But I think we'll win handsomely. Another 4-0 for me. Fancy Eriksen to score this time round, and a few more for Harry with Lamela getting in on the act as well.

I still expect they will give us a tough game, both physically and mentally, it's not a given, and we may have to be patient. Right now, if you offered us 1-0 with no injuries being picked up, no home team players sent off, and with it being a dull game, I bet all of us on here would take that without batting an eyelid, no questions asked. COYS !!!!

Going tonight as well. Can't wait.

Obviously a massive game in terms of chasing the title, but tomorrow's match also has the potential to be historical in its own right.

With Man City and Arsenal having to play each other, the most points a team finishing in 4th can get will be 71. Barring an unlikely goal difference swing, a win tomorrow will all but guarantee automatic qualification for the CL.

Bear in mind that the maximum number of points for 4th place would involve Arsenal and/or City winning two games and drawing against each other, so there would be no improvement in goal difference for that match. Our goal difference is better than Arsenal's by 15, so unless they win their other two games 7 or 8 nil, they're not going to overtake us.

City would have two games to make up 7 goals (more if we beat West Brom tomorrow night), although this becomes more conceivable because, in order for us to end up 4th if we beat West Brom we'd need to lose our last three games.

Incidentally, a win for us tomorrow would leave United requiring at least 28 goals (and winning all of their remaining games) in their remaining 4 matches in order to finish ahead of us (with us losing our last 3).

In short, win tomorrow and we're in the group stages of the CL next season.

I'd go one further and say that a win tonight puts us 7 points ahead of 3rd and 4th placed ManCity and Arsenal with 3 games and 9 points to play for,

With them having to play each other 3rd place is all but guaranteed (if one beats the other then the loser cannot overtake us) and quite possibly 2nd (if they draw with each other thus both dropping 2 points meaning they can only get a maximum of 7 points from the 3 games remaining - the same number we would be ahead of them) due to our superior goal difference.

For those of you going tonight...

Look out for a group of 4, or @L-man, @Spurrific, @EnfieldYiddo & @S.Mouse! To be precise. They'll be in block 39 with a lot of other SC'ers. Do old SMC a favour and rough them up a bit. They've all decided to go without me as i'm stuck at home recovering from surgery.

If that isn't enough, look out 4 people: one looks like Gus Griswald from Recess, one looks like they ate Harry Potter, one looks like a surfer faggot and one looks like Stinky Pete from Hey Arnold.

If one of them takes an A4 with "Spurs Community" on it and holds it up, I'll give them some grief from block 37!

I'm in 32 so I'll look above me and shake my fist with anger for you!

We'll all be coysing in the bricklayers beforehand and if anyone wants to join us for a tinny or two, they aren't welcome.

Feeling very nervous. Hope we can sing when the team needs us to sing.

 

[spursfan77]

I forgot Sandro is going to be back. Let's hope he has a stinker.

 

[Gbspurs]

well hello mr scapegoat.

Just to add to that I have never seen us lose at WHL (unless aggregate counts)

 

[kaz Hirai]

We'll Walk all over these lot, don't care how arrogant that sounds
They just Won't have the heart or desire to work incredibly hard the full 90 minutes. Which is what it will take to stop us

 

[WalkerboyUK]

Yikes.... Just realised that tonight is my first PL game for nearly NINE years!!!
Last game was the 4-4 with Villa on 125th anniversary of club.

That was the first Spurs game I ever watched. I'd just moved back to England and close to Tottenham. I was like HA! look at these losers getting whopped by Aston Villa.

I just brought this in here from the front page (where its under a slightly misleading headline) hope thats allowed because its a great preview to Monday night

It lays out how Pulis will play it in horrifying detail

http://www2.premierleague.com/en-gb...40416-talking-tactics-spurs-vs-west-brom.html

Does it have a image of a pitch with a double decker bus on it? Because if it doesn't I'm not interested.

 

[arunspurs]

What an anti climax would it be, if we bottle this game tonight ??!!

Personally, I am full of confidence that we will win & get the 3 points.

COYS

All these bloody fairweather fans suddenly coming to games, stopping me from getting a ticket after being to nearly every game up until March.

Grrr...
