Christmas Eve and nothing on the box so I thought I'd amuse myself by doing a Google search on celebrity Spurs Fans.

Making it hard for ourselves as usual, being bullied in midfield, Bentaleb, Stambouli and chadli especially need to go up a gear as the game is by passing them. Leics are weak at the back so we need to move the ball forward much much quicker than we are. Rose also needs to get tighter to his man when defending.
Leicester are playing how we are supposed to play, pressing like crazy in midfield and getting numbers forward. Just the kind of luck we needed there from Eriksen.
Poor again but 3 more points we needed as we're going to get well beaten in our next two games.
Absolutely. I've been at my mums for a few days so had to make do with the MOTD highlights tonight and even in those we seemed to conspire to make Leicester look good. We can thank Hugo again for keeping us in the game and also the black cat that walked under a ladder for the large amounts of luck we had as well.
if we play like that on sunday, I think it'll go beyond being well beaten and end up being somewhat of a hammering.
I think because 8th to 4th has become quite tight, two consecutive losses won't hurt us a huge amount in terms of league placings so I think we can essentially look beyond them and start again.
Well a good string of results recently but Man U will bring a dose of reality on where the team really is. Not expecting anything but a loss against Chelsea.
All things considered, I think we've probably got a slim chance of nicking a point against United. Villa showed how they can be contained with the recent 1-1 draw so depending on which side turns up, I do think it's not entirely beyond the realms of possibility that we can get a point.
Chelsea will be pretty much stitched on though. I'd even be half inclined to accept the inevitable and rest a few of the back four - Hugo, Jan e.t.c.. and concentrate on them being fresh for the FA Cup tie.
You know when you puff out your cheeks and exhale in that "hhmmmmm ..." fashion ?
Mauricio Pochettino has suggested Tottenham are unlikely to sign any new players in the January transfer window.
After confirming next month’s arrival of right-back DeAndre Yedlin, who signed for the club in the summer, the Spurs boss insisted he is happy with his squad and will not put pressure on chairman Daniel Levy to add more.
“January is not about whether we sign a player or not. I am happy with my squad,” he said
“I never put pressure on the club to sign a player. As head coach I try to explain to the chairman and the sporting director my thoughts and after we decide together what is best for the club.”
I've always felt we'd see more departures than arrivals in general, and certainly appreciate that it's often unlikely to get any real quality midway through the season, but it's a bit sobering to think we might not be in for anybody at all.
I wasn't expecting a big influx but we need another decent striker at the very least. At the moment we don't really have any impact players to bring off the bench.
I was hoping for more of a situation where we'd be shipping out the likes of Townsend, Dembele, Lennon e.t.c.. and replacing them with improvements.
We're very likely not going to land any major players until the summer, but it would have been nice to have had an inkling of actually getting some upgrades on the squad players.
That said, I suppose there's also the fact that announcing we're going to be in the market for players in january isn't a good idea anyway as clubs will no doubt play hardball if they know we're actively looking.

Reading the comments from Pochettino he's not exactly saying he won't be signing any new players, just that he's happy with the squad at the moment. Personally I'd like to see another striker too. Maybe Pochettino is just playing his cards close to his chest so as not to give too much away to any rivals.
Good to see Mason back so soon. Hopefully Townsend will look up once in a while as well
I guessed Davies would come in for Rose but .....mmmh, not the starting line-up I would of envisioned for a tough game! Perhaps the thinking is that Walker and Lamela will make a bigger impact coming on in the second half, completely changing the right side.
Let's hope that Chiriches gets his customary couple of big mistakes out of the way early and they don't cost us and its Townsend's turn to actually hit the target based on the law of averages!

Happy Christmas everyone
Hope everyone had a good Christmas and got all the presents they wanted.
A win tomorrow would top off a lovely Christmas and round off the presents nicely..
Bob was Spurs? I really want that to be true, if anyone has a picture of him in a shirt, please link / post as it's going on my wall
Kane scores again, but i think we got away with that - could easily have been 2-1 down - need to pop in that 2nd goal
IIRC more a fan of Ricky Villa and Ossie, and by extension a Spurs fan while they were with us.
That means he passed before the cup final replay and missed "that" goal
Absolutely. I've been at my mums for a few days so had to make do with the MOTD highlights tonight and even in those we seemed to conspire to make Leicester look good.

Hoping for wins, would be happy with draws but expecting to lose - at least that way I won't be disappointed.

Lloris, Chiriches, Fazio, Vertonghen, Davies; Mason, Stambouli; Chadli, Eriksen, Townsend; Kane
