Antisocialiser

Hey guys just looking for some advice quickly.

Me and my missus are attending our first tottenham game on saturday at WHL we are flying into stanstead on fri nite and back to dublin on sun evenin but are totally overwhelmed with our options for accommodation. We would like to be close for the game but in reality its a weekend away so we'd like to do some shopping and other touristy things. Can anyone advance some *nice* budget accom (both students) preferably at least handy to a tube stop for us? sorry if im askin the impossible or missed this info in the stickys.

anywhere around liverpool street should suit you - stanstead express and over ground train to the lane both go from liverpool street. couldn't tell you what will be cheap from there but stick to a tube station and you wont go wrong

I do stay in the St Giles Hotel, very central for nightlife and sight seeing etc, and reasonable enough too. Check it out. The lads might be able to give you something better mind you.

cheers lads which borough is liverpool st station in? we were hoping to get a nice double room for about 200GDP or less..... st giles looks cracker but might be a bit out of our price range (at 300 for the two nights)

Travel Lodge at Liverpool Street. From £128 for 2 nights, Double Room.

Alternatively, you could stay at another of their hotels in Covent Garden from £187

Personally I'd go with the cheaper option as The West End and other Tourist things are only a 10 min tube ride away. Simples.

I hope Defoe brings his shooting boots this is must win we really have to get three points and should of gotten three at villa earlier in the season so time to make amends

SuprSi

Yeah this is a big one (aren't they all!). We really need to get the three points to keep Villa behind us. I have a feeling that Everton will snag a point in Anfield on Saturday too so it would really help our cause to get the win.

Hatch99

Modric, Wilson and King to come in for Bassong Jenas and Niko, thats just my prediction. Huge game, have a feeling we will sneak it 2-1.

keane=cock

think we must win here to shake off that bottler tag.

massive masive game

chiefwiggum

praying for a win...think it will be a draw...tough game but we'll have confidence with so many clean sheets in recent time...common the spurs...defoe to get two

mickger844posts

This one we have to win and in my opinion will win. We were by far and away better than them at Villa Park. They will be ultra defensive but if we get an early goal and they have to come out we could win this handy, 3-0 to the Spurs

keane=cock

more important now after liverpool won today.

come on tottenham

Great chance for Modric, weak effort into keepers hands.

mickger844posts

Another Modric chance curled over the crossbar from outside the penalty area.

mickger844posts

Decent Bentley shot about a yard wide of the post.

mickger844posts

King header from edge of six yard box straight into keepers hands, well on top now.

mickger844posts

Great chance for Crouch but Freidel saves on the edge of the six yard box. Best chance of the game so far.

mickger844posts

Thunderbolt effort from Huddlestone but Frieidel saves and the rebound falls to Modric but his effort is half blocked and out for a corner.

mickger844posts

Great double save from Gomes, lucky to have escaped there.

Glebee

Whats the bets Villa nick one on a break..

mickger844posts

Freidel saves from a great flick on by King and Defoe puts it over the crossbar with the follow up from one yard, how we are not winning here is beyond me.

mickger844posts

Half Time 0-0 how its that i just don't know. Totally dominated them in the first half, only thing we are missing is the goal, hopefully that will come early in the second half and we go on to win 2 or 3

pleasant Co.

Can't get to watch the game...but reading this thread it seems we're going through the same frustrations as usual when it comes to games we should be winning

everdead.ie

Never seen crouch win so many headers in a match

Thats exactly the way the game is going, playing well but not getting the goals that play warrants, very frustrating but hopefully we get the break through early in the second half.

mickger844posts

Second Half Begins

mickger844posts

Dangerous free kick for villa on the edge of our box,but shot wide by downing, poor effort thank god:)

mickger844posts

Half chance for Carew, Villa coming more into the game in the second half.

mickger844posts

Spurs back on top now with sustained pressure.

mickger844posts

Huddlestone unlucky with a great shot saved by Freidel

mickger844posts

25 mins to go, game has got a bit scrappy, need to freshen things up a bit now and maybe bring on somebody.

mickger844posts

2 half chances for Carew.

mickger844posts

Header by Crouch but floats over the crossbar.

mickger844posts

Terrible header wide by Dawson with 3 or 4 waiting in the box that he could have put through.

mickger844posts

Sustained pressure ends with Crouch chance that deflects wide for a corner that comes to nothing.

mickger844posts

All Spurs now COYS

mickger844posts

Crouch header just wide, 5 mins to go + injury time

mickger844posts

Stonewall pen not given for foul on Defoe

mickger844posts

Crouch flicked chance just wide, unbelievable how we are not winning:mad:

mickger844posts

Game over 0-0 just wasn't our day. Played well but couldn't score.:mad:

pleasant Co.

At least we didn't concede in the 90th min this time

Hatch99

Very dissapointed with the result.
A game that was defo there for the winning.
How in gods name was there no changes made. Luka for me didn't seem at the races today, Niko should have been on after an hour.

A great chance wasted.
Disgusted.

It was a shame alright good opertunity passed us by

I agree with you there, Harry should have made changes and Modric should have been one of them. Not one of his best games. I was convinced before the game that Villa weren't a realistic contender for 4th and after tonight they definitely in my opinion have no chance. We really played them off the park just like we did at Villa park. Its a season of should have beens, so many points thrown away, very frustrating. But we are used to that being Spurs fans aren't we

tippspur

Yet again we fail to break down a packed defense,i just watched the highlights on rte 2 and heard Kenny Cunningham say we had 32 shots on goal.ffs how many more do we need.Surely Gudjonson was worth a go in the last 15 mins.frustrating is the only word yet again,:mad:
