You reckon?! I think it will be a score draw, a difficult one to predict. Villa are playing better football than yourselves, however some debut appearances for you tonight might give you more edge than you would normally expect from an inconsitent Spurs team.

I know it's difficlut but surely MON has to drop either Reo or Petrov and play Milner from the start? I firmly believe with Young and Milner on the wings and Carew and Gabby up front, we will score gaols against anyone. Therefore, if we keep a clean sheet tonight, we will win the game. Also can't see Davies getting dropped, so think Cueller will start on the bench.
In MON we trust!
He will never drop Nige and I can see him playing in goal once he has proved inadequate in all other positions that he is tried in.

Great stuff Lee! Must admit, can't call this one, think it will show both sides where they are at though!
The Fear
Just hope youre right about Milner starting ! By the way he hasn't got that much pace !
Villan57
why the **** is milner not starting?!! weve had no width on the right for AGES and coker is useless out there!!
cat_shafton
cat, dunno bout that comment m8, not so tonight, NRC was excellent!
Jongekki
Cat- what were you saying about Coker?! MOTM for me last night! Him or Curtis Davies!
leelindsay
Bet we win 2-1, NRC could do with a goal too!!!
young_jonah
Curtis Davies outstanding, probably just shaded NRC as Man Of The Match. Overall though, everyone impressed. Nicky Shorey's best game for the club to date. Hopefully he silenced one or two of the knockers.

Yet again, proof, if ever proof were needed, that when it comes down to tactics, team-selection etc, Martin knows best. We are but mere novices, and often make ourselves look like the amateur novices we really are.
