    Spurs are a poor team, and we should be easing past them in our quest for the top 4.

    I'll go Watford 3-1 Spurs: Ighalo (2), Abdi and a Deeney og for them.

    I think he's more volatile off the bench. He's not up to speed and too eager to get stuck in. If he starts, he's more likely to "grow in to the game". God I hate/love football cliches.

    Surely a lot of these players were regularly playing 3 games in 8 days in the Championship so should be used to a heavier schedule. Admittedly the prem is a played at a faster level but still, up until this week it's been pretty much 1 game a week.

    Am a big Chas and Dave fan but also a lifelong Watfrd season ticket holder.

    Really torn over who to go for.

    I actually like Alan Sugar, but I'm certainly not going for Spurs!

    We actually managed to draw with these guys at the Vic in the past 2 Premier league season.

    Lets hope we have a bit more luck than our last game against them when Spurs nicked a 1-0 win in the FA Cup.

    You've got to them!

    http://www.thefightingcock.co.uk/fo...-men-london-derby-28-12-15-15-00.16406/page-4

    Ofcourse they aren't poor really and are building a very useful young side but you do wonder who'd get their goals if Kane was injured (like us with Deeney and Ighalo)

    I haven't heard many of their fans on 606 etc so they must be having a decent season!

    2 games in 2 days may prove too much for us I think. We were working full throttle to get the 2-2 whereas Tottenham cruised to a 3-0.

    Hilariously, someone thinks were not used to playing games in quick succession, clearly having no idea what the Championship is.

    They also think Capoue is slow and immobile.

    1-0 win with Capoue finally scoring is a pretty generous 175/1 with paddypower

    Good christ they are utterly moronic and boring if they can't grasp the punch-you-in-the-face obvious sarcasm. Laughable, idiots.

    I did see goingdown at Chelsea at the away tent.Shouting at all the Watford fans with a blow up Elton John in his hands,saying everyone was mad for paying £55 for a ticket,then complaining about paying £33 for a ticket for spurs at home.On the way home I saw him trying to catch a lift with a sign in his hand saying I will only pay for the petrol you use in taking me home.

    Hi Raiders, you and your thick as **** Spurs mates couldn't spot sarcasm if it slapped Dele Alli in the face and booted Harry Kane up the backside. No, Watford fans do not think we can easily turn over sides like Spurs. Bloody hell.

    We can't afford to take these lightly. Just because they''ve been punching above their weight this season doesn't mean we just have to turn up to collect the points.
    That said, we should be able to use our squad players and only chuck Ighalo on if we're level with ten minutes left. I really can't see the need to play Deeney at all - save him for City.

    Fully expect us to lose this game...like I did vs Pool, Chelsea, West Ham etc etc

    I have no idea what to expect from this manager and squad anymore so will just enjoy the ride

    In the past 50 years, we've actually come closer to winning the league than they have.

    Since City clawed their way out of Div 3 a couple of years ago under Joe Royle they've put together a well organised & spirited team. They'll do alright this season I think. Mind you I think we should be able to rest our better players for that game too & keep Deeney, Ighalo & co. fresh for next season's CL knockout stages.

    Ginola likes a dive as does Klinsmann so Behrami will need to be careful tackling in & around the box

    They're an absolutely poor excuse of a club that lingers on to the faded memory of a fact that Arsenal were originally from the dirty south of the river. It physically hurts them year after year at the fact that the "Woolwich Wanderers" as they call them still finish above them with relatively little effort spent.

    After watching their matches on MotD this year, they seem to be chancing their luck this season and I just get the unshakable feeling that their league position is a false one, and that they'll have their inevitable tumble down the league soon. I genuinely think we'll be the ones to start this tumble tomorrow. 2-1 to us.

    Now where's my login for that forum from when I tried to sell them old Spurs match day programmes (yes Spurs fans if you're reading this, I've got a login to your forum and I'll be visiting soon)....

    I always call White Hart Lane "White Fart Lane" because it's funny
