Spurs playing at Stoke today - I love it!

Going to be a very tough game for, not the sort of match you want before a mid week replay.

Real possibility of injuries, 'orrible crowd to shake them up a bit and a strong chance of them losing 4th place.

If they lose or draw there will be a chance that their home side will be on their backs before we even kick off. Combine this with an early goal and you are going to have a very unhappy White Hart Lane.

Compare this to our boys who have a home tie with no expectations to win - but a real chance of doing so then it's looking good.

This is a real test for Woy today.  How do you get a team up and motivated for a Premiership match when they are thinking about the FA cup and Europa League?

For us the premiership is now a side show compared to the cup competitions BUT getting fourth spot is make or break for City.

Still he has done it before so we must trust Woy again!

I think that sunday will be a case of after the Lord mayors show.

[Jimpav]

The players will be buzzing and so will the crowd.

They will get a heroes welcome and am sure we will rise to the occasion.

Not only are they playing Stoke but if Palacios is booked he will miss the cup replay! WE LIVE IN HOPE!

We could have done with Villa winning to add more pressure for 4th place incase Redknapp is thinking of resting players ie. Palacios

[Brede Butter Pudding]

I don't think he's resting him, more making sure that he doesn't get another booking. Apart from Palacios' absence, the starting XI for Spurs today will be the one that starts against us on Wednesday

According to Sky Sports Gareth Bale has just taken a knock in the Stoke game  :54:

[Logicalman]

Watching the match, Stoke aren't pulling punches in this one, chances on both sides and pretty even thus far.
Notice that after Bales' fourth foul (against him) 'Arry sent his knuckle-dragger of a gofor - Jordon out to confront the ref, and was told to f'off just as quick from the ref. Classic.

Pavlyuchenko off injured, Gudjohnsen on

Hmmm, interesting action in the match 2nd half, Corluka and Assou-Ekotto having a handbags-at-dawn in the center circle. Unfortunately, the ref got it second-hand so no cards. Seems that Corluka said something, and Assou - after mouthing and effing at him - walks up and lays the hands on him. Pity that Fuller had to get involved and split them up, or we might not have seen them on Wednesday.

That Fuller is a real spoil-sport.
