Match Spurs v Barcodes. Saturday 4 January 2025 KO 12:30. Live on TNT

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Chris Sutton and some bloke from something called Zutons

Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, 12:30 GMT
Newcastle's form is incredible, with five wins on the spin in all competitions. They have scored 16 goals in those games, with only one conceded.

Tottenham, in contrast, are on a poor run of results - although they did not perform badly in their defeat by Nottingham Forest or in their draw with Wolves last time out.

This is going to be a great game and, while I think Spurs will score, I just can't go against Newcastle at the moment.

Eddie Howe's side have got goals in them and it is not just Alexander Isak who is a threat - Jacob Murphy is playing really well and their midfield of Bruno Guimaraes, Sandro Tonali and Joelinton looks very strong.

Sutton's prediction: 1-2

Dave's prediction: Newcastle are too good for Tottenham. The way Spurs are under Ange Postecoglou, even if they turn up and play well, if they score four goals then the other team would score five. I don't think he is a bad manager but you'd need to have Virgil van Dijk and Marcel Desailly at the back for his approach to work. 1-2

When Dave from the Zutons can see your problems and the manager can’t, then you know you’re properly fucked!
 
Nothing like a TFC match thread to blow away the dark clouds of winter with some unbridled optimism and generally cheery outlook on life whatever hardships we may endure... :cautious:

If the quote from Tomo Tomo above is true, how do you really plan for thirteen absences? Clubs can only have a certain number in their squad.

The goalkeeper situation should see every last one of the management side fired. If you can muster the stomach to defend going into a season with Forster as your number two whilst extending two untested goalkeepers at first team level you've lost the plot completely.How about you plan for the bloody obvious not the exceptional for a start, that's basic competence. We did not. It didn't need hindsight I said it before a ball was kicked.
