Match BOXING DAY BEATDOWN TOTTENHAM AWAY v relegation fodder

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

on paper, they are no match for us, but as the game is played on grass, who knows what can happen. Sure, we should win, but we still need to be focussed on the matter in hand as we don't want to be one of a handful of teams that Leicester gets points of.
 
Millwall and Norwich fans say the same (despite him winning YPOTY for the former)
Yeah all the Norwich fans I know think he was shit for them (he played like 4 games due to an injury) because he missed a decent chance towards the end of a 0-0 with West Ham. Think he also played when they got done in the cup by non-league Luton. Never gave him a run of games and had an ultra defensive tactic so what do they expect :paulinhofacepalm:
 
I think we ought to smash these lot. Same sort of thing as when we beat Wigan 9-1 a number of seasons ago. We had Gomes in goal and even David Bentley scored.

The only bit of uncertainty for me is how Poch handles Christmas; for all we know he gets all the players down the pub and gets them all totally shit faced on some Argentine equivelent of Vodka.

Here's some memories:
 
I know we gotta respect em but we got to try to sort out our GD a bit . I hope Pochadoodledoo puts out our strongest team possible.
 
I'm picturing this fixture like my missus playing Ronnie O Sullivan at snooker on a grass snooker table- thanks Mrs Perryman.
Be wary lads n lasses. This is eminently loseable. This is Spurs ffs. If we do lose, I will not hear the end of it from my Spam supporting neighbour. So cautious positivity needed to guide us into the United game. I have a£50 bet with a fellow northern monkey who is a rabid red that we will turn them over- a double or quits bet after he shaved half his head & the opposite side of his beard. It was funny at the time. So it's either £100 to a bloke who looks like a badly mauled catweasel or a happy new year for me. COYS (please)
 
For some reason I didn't realize the quick turnaround before the utd game. I'd start Soldado tbh (Kane needs a break anyways) and hope we can get a quick lead so we can pull the important players out quick.
 
Can anyone explain to me where this Goal Difference fetish has come from?

When was the last time 4th place was decided on goal difference...?

Give me a scruffy 1-0 and I'll be content. It's now not enough to win, but we have to "Smash them and improve our GD"?

Win's a win.

It was 1996-1997, far as I can tell.
No it wasn't, it was 2006-2007..

Yep-agreed. We'll have to worry about dodgy lasagna too- or maybe Hungarian goalkeepers. We don't need to beat the filth- we need to beat them badly.
