      Should we play our first team this Saturday with Roma on the Tuesday?

      If we don't then the players will be going a long time without a game time and can be rusty and if we do they get only two days full rest?

      I'm not a coaching expert or I'll be on staff earning your ticket or TV money. I'd say throw them in this Saturday for warm up against Roma. Stay injury free and we're good.

      Difficult one isn't it.

      Despite the risks with it being West Brom, who are a tad physical, I think not playing them for 10 days is a bigger risk.  I'd be much more sympathetic to resting players ahead of an away leg than the home game.

      Roma aren't exactly storming 4th place themselves in Serie A and they've got a midweek game and then a Saturday game themselves ahead.

      I'd like to see us reach 80 points and that should be our target for the rest of our league campaign.

      Lovren has a bit of  groin injury so he may be another one to leave out on Saturday. I love Klavan, but he has looked a little shaky coming on as a sub the past two matches (in fairness, center back may be the most difficult position to sub on to during a match). Hopefully he can be steady if he is used next weekend.

      I'm really in two minds about rotation. for these two matches.

      Strongest 11 and give a breather to the front-3. Get the 3 points!

      Undecided who we should start with. I know the mancs were pretty poor last week end, but beware west brom, nothing to lose now, and everything to gain. They will go out like men possessed, something to prove. Just hope whoever starts can do the business. Difficult to risk resting our quality players, if we come unstuck, but need to avoid injuries, fatigue and strains etc as well. Sort it Jürgen, you know you can.

      I'd play the first team. Take off Salah and Bobby on the 60min mark and someone else around 70mins.

      Then I would rest any player starting the second leg for Stoke at home giving them a week break.

      Then play the first team for the remaining fixtures as they are spread out.

      To risky against a team like West Brom, you just know that those shithouses would love to injure some of our players, imagine if 2 of our front three both get injured in a meaningless game meaning they can't play in the home match against Roma. We have to play clever and in all honesty if Ings and Solanke can't score against West Brom then they need to be sold, end of story.

      Chelsea play Burnley on Thursday. They looked like they had thrown in the towell in the first hour at Soton. Came back well but wouldn't be surprised to see a lame performance against Burnley.

      If they win and get within 7 points we will have to do WBA. So there will be no let up untill the three points are won. Lose this game and the gap could be down to 4 points with Chelsea away still to come.

      We’ve played WBA twice this season and not won.

      This won’t be a pushover. Some teams just seem to be able to stifle us and I think WBA are one of them.

      Fingers crossed we put them to the sword this time.

      Different team now that Darren Moore has taken over from that prat, Pardew, has gone. Moore won't concentrate as much on all out defence.


      Going for 4-0

      Thanks to Shitty and Brighton, Spurs have 1 point from 2 games and 2 points behind us. Hope Chelsea and Scums lose their mid week games as well.

      The Spuds ?

      If you have one foot on one stool    .....the League

      and on the other .....the FA Cup 

      then you end up pissing in the middle.


      That did us no harm this evening . Thanks Seagulls.

      Gutted Kane scored, now he he is 4 behind Mo.

      Hope Mo starts on Saturday and is taken off at HT after a quick fire hat-trick.

      Brighton were in fact terrible, very little quality. Spurs didn't dive so they didn't win. But in truth it was pathetic performance. They couldn't beat a very mediocre Brighton.

      Wenger going at the end of the season. Been a fantastic manager for them. Many trophies, made players great, put together some great teams.

      My advice is to appoint Tony Adams...he could make the club a mid table club inside 6 months..

      They could move for Rafa...but Rafa's name is mud in London..could wait till after the World cup and go for Joachim low, the German coach..that's my shout anyway.
