QPR v Spurs

Devo from Dublin

I believe this is on Setanta at 3.00 Saturday....confirmation?

Anyway, i doubt if any of us can guess 8 starters...

i'll give it a shot..

And a 4-3 win with Bobby getting a brace!!!


Hugo

Chiriches - Fazio - Dier - Davies

Mason - Paulinho

Lamela - Dembele - Townsend

Soldado..

Horrible little kip of a ground...

Its a MUST win game too!...Just to stay on the coat tails of the others...

Obviously we are never going to consolidate a position in the top 4, i reckon we'll be relying on others for the remainder of the season...
I do think however, that we have a great chance of getting top 4 if we can make sure we beat QPR, Man Utd and Leicester in the next three games, as other fixtures on them days dictate we will move up towards top 4, if we win all three.
.
If we beat QPR... The next round of fixtures after that contain.
.
Arsenal v West Ham
Chelsea v Southampton
Swansea v Liverpool
Man Utd v Tottenham
.
I'm not deluded and saying we are nailed on for top 4, we really have our work cut out, but there's potential in those fixtures for a couple of slip ups, if we can win against QPR and United, we will surely make up points on one or two and we would already be past Southampton if we beat QPR..
.
Then the next week is..
.
Tottenham v Leicester
Liverpool v Man Utd
.
Followed by..
.
Burnley v Tottenham
Arsenal v Liverpool


Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Sugarlumps

We battered them all the way back in August yikes, how this season has flown.

Could face four former Tottenham players -
Caulker, Sandro, Zamora & Kranjcar.

I think Austin returns for them on Saturday?

Exact same team that played Swansea, QPR are fighting relegation, so there will be a bit of bite to it.

Must win game, with Utd the following week.

mickman

I see no chance whatsoever that your lineup is correct devo :-)

It will be the same as wednesday night except maybe dembele will start

slegs

We have to win this one I think to get a little run going...

He is back already, scored against arsenal on wednesday night. Another tough game, 3 points by any means necessary.

Wasn't aware, didn't see any other highlights midweek. Decent player.

Devo from Dublin

Sunday - Wednesday - Saturday....

The same 11 playing within 6 days of each other??

We made 5-6 changes from Utd and Chelsea games over Christmas.
28.12.2014 - 01.01.2015.

AT LEAST ANOTHER 5 FOR SATURDAY.;)

I'm happy as I can be with that team considering there ain't much on the bench.

I think this will be an open and high scoring game.

tippspur

Can we keep a clean sheet for once?

Sugarlumps

We should be able to exploit Ferdinand, he's barely played, ain't the quickest these days.

Two up front for QPR will be a handful, Zamora holds up the ball very well.

tippspur

The Spurs team is the youngest one to eleven that has started a premier League game this season.

Sugarlumps

Townsend has the beating on that right side.

Sugarlumps

Walker? Lloris to the rescue yet again....

tippspur

WTF was walker doing? nearly another fcuk up by Spurs.

Sugarlumps

It's so congested out there. The sun is in Green's eyes, surely worth a pop from outside the box.

Kiith

Pretty **** game so far.

Awful game actually. We are being outplayed by QPR for **** sake.

Sugarlumps

How did that stay out. Both CB's, jaysus!

tippspur

How the f**k are we not a goal down here?

Sugarlumps

About time!

Kiith

Great cross from Townsend, and well played Kane.

Kind of undeserved though. Its usually us who concede against the run of play though, so i'm happy enough :P

Sugarlumps

Gonna need a few more goals, that defense won't hold.

tippspur

KANO!!

Sugarlumps

Walker had all day to tee up that shot, poor effort. Hanging in there, dreadful at the back.

Sugarlumps

Could we not swap wingers over? I'd stick Rose on as a make shift winger if things stay the same.

What a hit by Eriksen!

Sugarlumps

Better second half.

Sugarlumps

Great through ball by Kane.

Sugarlumps

Class!!

Sugarlumps

Good finish by Sandro, game far from over.

tippspur

Going to make us suffer again it seems.

tom1ie

Should've been a peno! It had to be sandro to score didn't it. We've switched off just as we did against Swansea

tom1ie

Here comes the numpty

Kiith

His boot was too high in the first place, but the ball does hit a hand. Tough one to call.

Yeah I suppose I've seen those decisions go either way

Sugarlumps

Ding dong...3 points and on to Old Trafford.

DubPerryman

6 points from 6 since we finished up in the Europa League. :cool:

tippspur

Yes! a good win,Mason very good today I thought.

jobeenfitz

we always like to make it harder than it has to be but another very welcome three points. It is frightening to think where we would be without Kane this year. I know there are other very important players like Lloris, Eriksen, Bentalab, Mason and Chadli but without Kane's goals we'd be battling with Everton.

The only chance we have of getting in top four is if Kane and Eriksen stays fit and in form til the end.

It's great to be still battling for fourth even though its gona be tough especially with the gooners n pool in such good form.

irishmover

Watching motd as wasn't able to get up during the night!

Important win.

irishmover

What a plonker walker is. What was he doing heading that back to Lloris.. My god.

irishmover

Judging from the highlights on motd we really got lucky today.

Yep, should've had 2 peno's against (and arguably a sending off) and they hit the crossbar.

mass_debater

It was always going to be one that could go either way, so many ex spurs players out to make a point, us on the end of a very heavy period. Glad of the 3 points and a break. Bring on Utd....

We also hit the post and had a shot cleared off the line - both from eriksen

We deserved the win

And I thought Mason could have gotten a penalty

ziedth

I don't think we're in bad shape. Yes we have been riding our luck allot this season and Harry Kane seems to be sent down from the havens but God only knows we deserve a roll of the dice to fall our way.

I still think top 4 is out of reach but we do have one of the easier run in's so you never know...
