United haven't lost at Whitehart Lane in the premier league since 2001, winning 8 of the 13 games played. Let's hope that run continues today.  |

Be interesting to see if he makes any changes..
We look lethal going forward but defensively very open.

Unchanged team, should be fun Transfer what we do at OT away from home. |

I fancy us for a win today, haven't been impressed by Spurs, vulnerable at the back, weak in midfield and relying on a young striker in a attack with Harry Kane who could hit a flat spot at any moment. 3 points all the way.

I see us winning as well firstly because McNair is starting and I agree with what Jamie is saying as well. Spurs don't have the quick players they used to have and I feel that's what had caused us problems this season. I hope we put in our best away performance of the season and start a good run away from home.

The only thing about this match that worries me is the understanding between Jones and McNair. They didn't have a lot to do against Newcastle but still had a lot of shakey moments. Hopefully we'll see the same movement up top as we seen in the first 70 minutes against Newcastle.
If Falcao grabs a brace it will make my Xmas. I have the game as 2-2 in my prediction table. But I am quietly confident.

Disappointing, missed too many good opportunities, particularly in the first half, didn't really show up for the last 30 minutes of the game but we should've put the game out of sight before then.
Thought the ref was utter shite as well, gave us nothing all afternoon.

I put today down to terrible finishing and karma. I think in the last 10 games we've won 8 and drawn 2. Fantastic on paper but it doesn't reflect the whole truth of our performances. Some you win, some you lose so overall we can't complain too much.

Very frustrating, that game. Ultimately we created some very good chances but we weren't clinical. Two points dropped today, but at the end of the season a draw away at Spurs won't seem like too bad a result. We're still unbeaten in 9, however I can't help but feel disappointed with the result.

Frustrating as all hell I agree. We could have moved closer to Chelsea and City with a win ( hindsight is 20/20 vision ). Still we avoided snatching defeat from the Jaws of success.

Shouldn't have gone unchanged in hindsight, we were visibly fucked in the second half.
Although it should've been 2 or 3 in the first half, Falcao was very disappointing.

I don't see how the manager felt both the strikers should finish 90 minutes, neither played particularly well and both were fucked, surely the legs of Wilson in the last half hour or so would've made us more of a threat.
As for Falcao I'm not convinced he'll be staying beyond this season, hopefully he'll improve but the physicality and speed of the premier league doesn't seem to suit him and surprisingly when he does get chances he isn't as clinical as I thought he would be, the header against Villa aside.

I think he's still trying a bit too hard to impress. You tend to forget for all his goals and his massive reputation, this is by far the biggest club he's ever been at.
I still think he'll be here next season, but he needs to pull out some far better performances than yesterday. He just needs to get back to playing on instinct.
