[rockyhotspur]

What is a though match?

Not an easy one!

Mousa Dembele has been passed fit for Tottenham's trip to Watford after picking up a knock in the Boxing Day win over Norwich.

This will be a tough test for us. Flores has his team set up very well. It will be a lot harder than would have been thought when the fixtures came out. A win would be a significant step in the right direction.

Have a bad feeling about this one. A real test of our credentials. A win is needed as we have had way too many draws already

Not a holiday here of course (stupid america), so I have to watch this online on nbc. Luckily most of the office is on leave tomorrow. So, COYS!

Maybe this is a good time to play Watford, when they're gonna be a bit tired. Obviously we will be too but you'd like to think that we have a fitter squad and that we have a higher calibre of squad players to come in and do a job. Of course this is all kind of hopeful.

The good thing is that I think they concede a lot of possession at home, as part of their game plan. It's only good if we can take advantage of that I guess. Liverpool obviously couldn't and got punished for it but Liverpool aren't best for making use of their possession/chances, at home I constantly hear they've had almost 20 shots on goal and they still go on to draw or lose.

Will be interesting, a win would be massive.

I feel exactly the same way. Not liking it at all

Bound to play a blinder

I pray we win but fear a draw is on the cards. 1-1.

 

[spurs mental]

They exerted a lot of energy vs Chelsea. Hopefully our fitness will be telling in the final 30 minutes.

Battle for top league scorer for the calendar year too between Kane and Ighalo. Both on 29 (I think) for the year 2015

Not really a fair comparison where most of Ighalos goals were scored in the championship.

That's my prediction too. Ighalo is on fire, and needs to be kept quiet. But I always fear that former players will have a point to prove and end up having the best game of their lives. If we can get a few corners, I'm hoping Toby will get on the scoresheet.

For those of you soiling your panties over this one (and it will be a tough game) there's an interesting little tickle to be had to make the days games a bit more interesting. Watford and Chelsea to win at United can both be had for around the 5/2 mark which makes for a nice little double at almost 10/1.

You can also get an enhanced odds treble at Skybet, Spurs, Palace and Everton all to win at 11/1

As for 1st Goalscorer……... Kane @ 4/1 to score first goal or Alli @ 7/1 whilst Ighalo and Deeney are both around 6/1

Ighalo and Kane to both score is 8/1 and its 9/4 Kane scores and Spurs win.

There's absolutely no value to be had on the time of first threadwhinge with the first five minutes offering odds of only 1/3.

Maybe not, but 13 goals in 18 games isn't bad either.

Having a young squad is gonna show today.
We'll have more in the tank.
1:3 win.
Get 2, sit back and fk around as if game is won, they'll score, we'll go straight up the other end and score.
I have seen this vision in my coffee filter and my power is unquestionable...
Unless I put a bet on, which seems to be my Kryptonite.

Excited. I'm on one of those Christmas trains back to London which starts off somewhere in the south before circling round the North Pole and heading into to wrong side of London via 26 delays. Hoping I can get soccer sat up on the iPad but I'll likely be round the Shetlands at that point with no signal

I would expect Poch to swap out the fullbacks like he's been doing for Europa matches.

I prefer Davies to Rose, and I would still play Eriksen before Son.
