Surly we can beat Fulham at home and keep this run going..2008 was the last time they beat us..we should be to strong for them all over the park..i wanted 12 points from 4 games but 9 will do just fine, and a manager of the month award for Harry and a players one, for Modders  would be the icing on the cake.

We have a decent run of fixtures coming up now..all very winable games..a couple of good results could cement our place in the top 3/4.

I am still never confident enough just yet to say should win, I prefer must win  :santa_afro: we cant approach any PL team in a complacent manner due to past results or it will end like when Wigan visited this year!

We play our game we can beat any team in the EPL we just need that focus.

From the Fulham game anything less than 3 points is failure, any chance we can start with just 10 men  :coys:

Tottenham defender Younes Kaboul begins a three-match suspension as a result of his red card for clashing heads with Newcastle's Cheik Tiote.
William Gallas makes a timely return from a hamstring strain, but Robbie Keane is a doubt with a similar injury.
Fulham goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer will play his last game before flying out to the Asian Cup to represent Australia.
Forward Mousa Dembele is nearing a return after a seven-week absence with an ankle injury.



Having won with 10 men for the second successive match following Younes Kaboul's red card for butting a Newcastle opponent, Tottenham now have a head-to-head in their favour.

They have only lost once in 63 years at home to Fulham and ended the west London side's unbeaten start in the league in October.
Tottenham's recent form has fuelled talk of a title challenge, and anything must feel possible at White Hart Lane these days. Conversely, Fulham begin the year in the bottom three and there were question marks over the future of manager Mark Hughes following the home defeat by West Ham on Boxing Day.
Fulham's subsequent victory at Stoke - their first away win since the opening day of last season - was as deserved as it was unexpected, with Chris Baird scoring his first goals since March 2007. Hughes described the performance as immense; for once, Fulham looked good in khaki.
They displayed a resilience in that game that has been a trademark of Tottenham's performances over the festive period. With their mix of perspiration and inspiration, it is little wonder that Spurs' title odds have shrunk to 20-1.

This game will tell us alot about the team, the usual is for us to do well then the game that we should win easy we lose ending our optimism. If we come away today with a win then I'll start thinking we can push on, if we come away with a convincing win then I will believe we will definitley push on and start believing that we may be able to challenge for the title.
 
The most interesting thing for me today is who will be captain with Gallas coming in, will it be Gallas or Dawson? Again I think this will tell us alot about the team !!!

wouldnt that have also applied to the Newky game.... and didnt we win that ??

grow a pair and stop acting like an old woman, you old woman.... any single game will be prone to good/bad fortune, just like for any other team..... we will learn nothing if we win, lose or draw.... other then not to put so much stock to individual games, maybe....

think its gonna be Dawson OR Gallas on the field, not both.... the leftside CB will now be Bassong (until Eunice returns)..... I would stick with Dawson, as Gallas will need to recuperate fully now, so that he can replace Dawson in the long-term this season..

Got a feeling I think if we can play Jenas............. I know its getting weird actually saying this but I am finding myself saying it more and more often..................... we may get at them early and could have a really happy new years day. But hey who cares as long as we are concentrated and fight for every ball we should (please lads for me) get the hatrick of the christmas period!!!!

Once again wrong only change Gallas for Kaboul.

I am gonna miss this one as on bloody duty from 3pm as we have Cardiff City visiting to play Bistol City and they love  each other.  So its text only updates for me.

I think to win this one we will have to play a bit ugly, key players will be tried and they will all want the 3 points!

BALE! BALE! BALE!

What a fantastic header! Did it look like Bale and Rafa were not in agreement over who should take the kick? Then Gareth manages to nick the goal anyway.  :2up:

we are looking more like a 4-man midfield version of Barvelona with every game now.... pity Vaart and Pav can't seem to PENTRATE a defence.... our new striker(s) should cure that soon enough..

the passing in the midfield and defence is just bootiful...

Eek. We need to get out of this spell of pressure.

Why not just take Gallas off? What's the point of risking it?
Title: Re: Tottenham v Fulham
Post by: ugs on January 01, 2011, 05:18:55 PM
Michael Dawson comes back from injury we keep 2 clean sheets, a certain Gooner that posts on this board says he can't play left side CB. Where did he play today GK? First name on the team sheet at the moment closely followed by Modric, Bale and Van der Vaart.... the link between these players GK wants to get rid of them all !!!!!!
 
Not a vintage performance today but we ground out a result and kept ourselves in there with a chance... good enough for me !!!!

2 cleansheets with Dawson (and the Citeh game in August actually makes 3) and so therefore he must be better than Rio Ferdinand (cos Uts conceded in last game or 2) now then  :santa_grin:

I loved the thought behind subbing Vaart with Jenas at the end.... far better counter-attacking threat as well as shoring up CM, with Crouch used as the outball as well as great at defending corners and freekicks at a time when they'll throw the kitchen-sink at us, with only 10mins remaining...

I went to watch a fiery Bristol City v Cardiff game today, it was a good game a good win for Bristol City (3-0). Pissed off i missed Spurs but i couldnt make it down there because the car decided to pack in last minute! Aaargh! Quiet a hate filled derby game between the 2 sides, our Caulker played the full 90 minutes and he was immense. Although this is Championship level, he is only 19 and he stood up to the test of Bellamy & Chopra superbly. Cut out balls, through himself into tackles, won every header and positioning was great, overall they would be f**ked without him. Danny Rose didnt play today and i heard from a few of my Bristol mates that he has been a bit hit and miss lately and has not looked interested. Good teams win ugly (Man United) and thats what Spurs did today, dont let the performance worry you, its the 3 points that counts! Whats up with Hutton someone said he went off injured? Also its so good to see Daws back, first name on the team sheet in my opinion. YID ARMY

I actually thought our play (especially 1st half) was excellent.... the slick 1-2 touch passing in defence and midfield was something else.... its just our crappy pairings upfront that continue to look very ordinary...
