High tempo ala v Ars*nal and Chelsea
Get Bale and Lennon (if he starts) on the ball early running at them.
Pin them back into their own half.
And pummel them till they give in!!!!

I would like one more absolute hammering like Wigan etc to end the season on and since its our last home game of theseason something to watch but i know its going to be a narrow 2-0 or 2-1. Let Lennon and Bale run riot and just play open and attacking and go and smash them. But seriously if we draw or lose thats it, 4th place will be over. COYS

Doesn't bear thinking about. Harry will have the lads up for this. I'm confident we can sweap them a side by 2 or 3. Just 1-0 would do it, but i'd quite like my finger nails for wednesday night!!!

They're not as physical as they use to be. Coyle has them playing some decent football at times. It still won't be an easy game!
 
Shall we rest King for City on wed or play him tomorrow and away at Burnley a week on Sunday?

Many Spurs fans think this will be a smashing, I can see it being a pretty nervy affair, and if we don't get an early goal I can easily see it being a draw.

Would love to see Lennon start, really go for it, then bring him off after an hour with the job done and save him for City.

Expect to see Eidur start up top and Pav drop to the bench.

COYS.

Pav & Defoe start up front, King starts as does Kaboul in central midfield alongside Tommy. No Lennon he is on the bench as Bentley starts on the right.

Same team that beat Ars*nal then just King replaces Bassong.
 
Gomes
Kaboul Dawson King Assou-Ekotto
Bentley Huddlestone Modric, Bale

Subs: Alnwick, Lennon, Jenas, Palacios, Crouch, Gudjohnsen, Bassong.

Decent first half, what an immense strike from Hudd though, superb.

Kaboul has had a brilliant first half, Bale has been threatening and Bentley has played well. Strikers looking a little off atm.

That run and through ball by Ledley! What a hero.

Could have scored more, should have scored more, but 3 brilliant points all the same!!! That was just what the doctor ordered.
 
Yet another couple great saves by Gomes  ;D
 
And a cracker from Hudd!! ;D
 
COYS!!!!

Should have had tons more, Pav and Eidur at the end very wasteful.

Lennon seem somewhat reluctant to fly at Robinson, who was on a yellow and is a carthorse.

Kaboul was easily MoM.

I worry for Gomes. I worry about Wednesday.

Gawwwd.

A Tom Huddlestone thunderbolt secured Spurs a nervy win over Bolton to take them a step nearer a top-four finish.   The midfielder lashed home a stunning first-half goal from 20 yards to earn a vital home win that keeps Spurs a point above fifth-placed Manchester City.
It was no less than Tottenham deserved, despite their nerves, with Bolton keeper Jussi Jaaskelainen saving from Gareth Bale and Peter Crouch twice.
But Bolton played their part, Heurelho Gomes twice saving from Matthew Taylor.   And, with the hosts' lead so slender, the result was in the balance right up until referee Chris Foy's final whistle - a whistle that, when it came, provoked jubilant scenes of relief from the home crowd.
 
It sets up what promises to be a crackerjack of a match against Manchester City at Eastlands on Wednesday, a fixture that - with Aston Villa out of the running for fourth spot as a result of their defeat in Manchester on Saturday afternoon - could effectively be a winner-takes-all play-off for the final Champions League spot.
Tottenham will know a draw might just be good enough from that match, though, provided they beat Burnley away on the final game of the season.
 
But they might want a more assured display in Manchester after a professional Bolton display ran them close in this game.
The last time Tottenham managed a top-four finish was back in 1990, when they finished third under Terry Venables, so their nerves at White Hart Lane were perhaps understandable.
They did, though, play a part in a stuttering home display. Though solid at the back, with right-back Younes Kaboul particularly impressive, Spurs' efforts to press forward more often than not broke down thanks to a poor touch or good Bolton defending.
 
The in-form Gareth Bale was again the hosts' most threatening attacking outlet, the winger forcing a smart save from Bolton keeper Jussi Jaaskelainen from range, while Roman Pavlyuchenko should have done better from one of the Welshman's crosses from six yards out early on.
 
But this was a decent display from Bolton, despite the fact that having secured their survival last weekend not a huge amount rode on the result of this match.
And when they occasionally broke the shackles with a foray forward they certainly caused the odd flutter in the Tottenham defence, their best effort of the first half coming when Michael Dawson did well to bravely block from Gretar Steinsson's shot.
The longer the half went on, the more it became apparent that something special might be needed to break the deadlock. With 37 minutes on the clock, Huddlestone provided it.
A Spurs short-corner routine led to Benoit Assou-Ekotto laying it to Huddlestone and the midfielder, with power and precision, arrowed an unstoppable effort into the top corner from 22 yards out.
Some might have expected the goal to settle the hosts, but despite a fine home record of late which includes wins over Ars*nal and Chelsea, memories of defeats to the likes of Stoke and Wolves this season ensured the home support were biting their fingernails with just a goal in it.
Bolton's increasing confidence only added to the hosts' tension, too.
Taylor had a left-footer from range saved on the stretch by Gomes in the home goal, while only a Kaboul block stopped the same player's goalbound effort levelling the scores with Gomes stranded soon after.
Spurs were creating chances, too, Pavlyuchenko heading Kaboul's cross wide at the near post and Bale excellently denied one-on-one by Jaaskelainen after Jermain Defoe's clever through-ball.
With the minutes ticking down and the hosts increasingly desperate to put the game to bed, substitute Peter Crouch saw a header cleared off the line and then his shot saved after a fine solo run, while former Bolton player Eidur Gudjohnsen slid wide with the goal gaping in injury time.
It still, though, took a smart save from Gomes at the other end from Taylor's chest-and-volley to keep Spurs ahead and, ultimately, preserve their slender advantage in the race for fourth.
A sixth home win on the spin ensures Tottenham can, realistically, finish no lower than fifth spot, but their eyes will solely be focused on an even bigger prize when they travel to Manchester in midweek.

A minute before Tommy hit that rocket in the top corner i was thinking we need to score now because early goals for us are vital. After all those missed chances i thought that it may turn into another stoke, wolves, hull but luckily we held on for the win. We really must take our chances though, all our strikers looked off today especially Pav and Defoe also Eidur missed a good chance. King and Dawson were great but MOTM for me was Kaboul he worked really hard and put in a great shift. BAE and Bale were quality but at the end of the day we need to take our chances!!!

Yeah Kaboul played well, the best i have ever seen him play personally

He was very good going forward, gave us some pace and drive down the right which Bentley doesn't as he isn't that type of player.

Also did some very good work defensively, but I worry Bellamy may have the better of him on Weds.
