Is this finally the game where Tottenham pick up 3 league points? Hull were considered certainties for relegation at the start of the season but what Spurs fan wouldn’t want to swop their start for ours? On form, Hull should be favourites for this game. They are big outsiders. Is there any reason why the same players that haven’t managed to win in their first six league games can beat a side that only last week turned Arsenal over at the Emirates?

Team News
Roman Pavlyuchenko and Vedran Corluka are available again after being inelligeble for the Uefa Cup tie against Wisla Krakow.

Alan Hutton is still out and Ledley King is likely to be rested again.

Hull have doubts over Nick Barmby, Marlon King and Anthony Gardner.

Head To Head
Nothing much to go on here as the sides haven’t met since 1981.

Recent Form
Spurs have only taken two points from the last 21 on offer in the Premier League. They have also gone 13 matches in the Premiership without scoring more than a single goal in a game.

Hull have gained 7 of the last 9 points on offer in the league. They are aiming for a third successive away league victory.

Conclusion
Here we go again, yet another game we expect to win but as it stands, could easily lose. Spurs are priced up on reputation and Hull look at cracking price at 5/1 with Stan James. I know people still expect us to win a game like this at home but while I’m hopefully, I just don’t see

Best Bets
Hull to win at 5/1 with Stan James.

Dean Marney to score at anytime at 8/1 with Paddy Power.

The Sun’s top story today is an amazing work of fiction by Ian McGarry claiming Spurs officials have met with Mark Hughes’ advisors with regard to a £20m five year deal to take over at the Lane.

OK, he’ll be under pressure to deliver with the cash at his disposal, but why leave until he has to, especially to come to a club bottom of the Premier League? Even if Hughes gets the sack from Man City at the end of the season, I’m sure he’d get another job just as good as Spurs.

I know our performance was less than convincing at Wisla yesterday but the fact is we are through to the group stage. Wisla Krakow aren’t a bad side and fair enough, it took an own goal to get Tottenham there but they are the sort of things that can turn a season around.

Instead of unsettling Ramos further, lets get behind him for the next few games and get some all important Premier League points on the board! I do think he’s living on borrowed time now but I really hope I’m wrong and that he can use the UEFA Cup as a platform for Sunday.

Hull will be a tough game. Their confidence is riding high while ours is at an all time low but it’s certainly a game we can win. Not just Ramos but also the players need to stand up and be counted and give the fans something to smile about. None of this one up front bullshine, I want to see us take the game to them and put it to bed early. 4-4-2 with all guns blazing, not 4-5-1 with the 5 and the 1 adding up to roughly 2.
