So, are we going to bounce back from our lacklustre display against the old enemy or will the players put in another shocker against Steve Bruce’s men?
The defeat against Stoke doesn’t worry me. We played well, it was just unfortunate. Even more unfortunate it came before a big game but I think we would have lost at Arsenal in those circumstances 99 times out of 100.
A number of Spurs fans have a theory that we can still make the top 4 by winning the majority of our game against the lesser opposition even if we always get thumped by the current top 3.
While I can kind of see where they are coming from, constantly being shown up against the big clubs won’t do our confidence any good. Fortunately, our rivals for 4th place are all dropping points as well.
If we are going to be up there come the end of the season, Sunderland at home is a must win game, especially Sunderland at home coming on the back of two defeats.
Sunderland are without Kenwyne Jones and Lorik Cana due to suspensions, as well as long term injury Lee Cattermole. Spurs have better news with the return of Jermain Defoe and possibly Aaron Lennon. I just hope Defoe has his mind on the game and not going out afterwards for some laffy taffy now he’s binned Imogen.
I fancy a 2-1 Spurs victory with Darren Bent getting a consolation for the visitors.

Good blog and all that, but has anyone ever told you that you look like a drunk Pavlyuchenko? 😉
Normaly i would look forward to these games but not while Uk SPORT are in charge of stopping teams from using false Energy.This has bean going on for two years that i no of and stoke beating Spurs then conceding two to draw the week after is not a shock anymore and the way all aArsenal players play is also not a shock .Lets hope they are on the boil or energy will stop us again.coys
Thanks TMWNN, I was expecting worse!
I am really hponig my gamble on Hernandez pays off and I’m a bit light on the bench so hponig Demel plays to give me a sub.BegoJohnson Clyne CuellarMata Pienaar Bale NolanRVP (C) Hernandez BerbaFoster Demel Michu CameronGood point Dan about the wildcard, after the double gameweek seems an ideal time to do it, lets you load up with Arse/WHU players and also gives enough time to see what happens during the transfer window.
