Wolves - A (PL) 19:45 Sat November 3rd

[Dorset]

19:45 on a Saturday? Do fecking what? I like my football played at 3.00 on a Saturday afternoon, like in the olden days. Everything was better when I was alive, a pint only cost 1p and you could get a train up to wherever Wolverhampton is (up north somewhere?),have a nice fry-up, 12 pints in the pub, go the match, be home in time to go to your local for another 12 pints - and have change out of half-a crown!

My super-predictorating machine gives us a 43% chance of winning this, 29% to Wolves and 28% for the draw. I reckon this could be a tight game and we will win by 1 or 2. probably 4-2.

Funny old game football. Who the fuck knows what's going to happen in this one. Those Wolves chaps draw with Man city one week and lose to Watford another (no shame in that by the way....). I'm inclined to think that we're on a roll now with a winning streak of 1 game under our belt, Dele and Chris back, Kane well rested, Sissoko on fire and Lamela leading the charge. Nailed on win, I'm saying 3-1 again because that's what it will be, although they have some good players and are at home, so it might be a draw.

Eric Dier (thigh) and Danny Rose (groin) are both unlikely to return before the international break and Victor Wanyama's out now too, after picking up a knee injury (left knee) against West Ham. Just when the injury list was easing up. Vertonghen out too of course.

Pochettino: “It’s so exciting for me to be here at Tottenham, helping the club achieve the last level. I think we’re so close. I think we're strong enough to sort all the problems & arrive at the end to achieve what the club & fans deserve. What we want is to win trophies.
On the Saturday 7.45pm kick-off: “Normally I’m on the sofa with my dog. It will be so strange for my dog, not for me.” .”

Dele injured again? No Eriksen, this is going to be tighter than expected? Be interesting to watch Moutinho and Neves in midfield.

Mike Dean referees......that used to be a good thing, not so much these days, let’s see.

Superb from Lamela and a wonderful cross from Trippier to put the second goal on a plate for Lucas.

The linesman in the Wolves attacking half...well his eyes must be painted on. The disallowed goal wasn’t remotely close to being offside.

 

[Don Diaz]

Well we’ve just got another 3 points in a tough game with some key players missing and some simply not on form. Tripps is struggling and Winksy just never got on the game. I don’t blame Foyth for the pens and not sure whether Hugo or Lamela should be our man of the match. Lamela player of the season so far, he and Moura are our two new signings. Take the win lads, we worked hard for it, I’m looking forward to the whole squad being fit and having a few home games....remember Wolves drew with City, we’re only 3 points off the top. Winning when you’re not playing well.....you know what they means. COYS.

 

[The Cryptkeeper]

Just caught Nuno’s post match interview. What a ripping fella. He could have had a shot at the officials but didn’t, was happy with his team (as he should be) and gave Spurs plenty of credit.

Classy.

Just a reminder that a Spurs team playing poorly are a point above the goons who are apparently "flying "

Do you remember the old debate from the cave about whether it was better to go for wins (3points) and risk losing or get a draw. Well the 8 wins and 3 losses seem to have paid dividends so far. All those early season draws of the past few years didn’t work so well eh?

And we are winning playing badly....Felt sorry for Juan as the 1st goal was down to trippier. For 50 mins we were actually good.

If we can get through the first half of the season as we are now, with all the injuries, Wembley debacle and ridiculous amount of games, we'll be set for the second half, with a lot of home games, hopefully full squad and and playing in our own stadium, which admittedly will still feel a bit like an away stadium for this season.
