Just finished crunching the worst of the numbers for my tax return.
God that was mind-numbing, like watching Arsenal in the 80s.
But it's over, and I'm in a good mood, relaxing with a cocktail -- but at home. Based on the numbers I've gotta be spending less time at the pub :-(
But I will be there on Sunday morning.
Can't wait for the game.
Live in US on Sat TV, Sunday 8am Pacific Time.
2-1 to the Tottenham.
Our past six league results from past to present:
W-W-W-L-W-W
Not bad, eh? If it wasn't for Brian McBloody Bride we'd be undefeated this year in the Prem.
Anyone on here going to the game in person at The Lane?
Who else is gonna be watching on the box?
Up The Lilywhites!

Should be a scrappy game, Leicester are desperate for points and were gutted at losing to us at home. Defoe-Kanoute-Keano, we should have too much firepower for them though.
I'm watching this on TV, but will deffo be going to a home game in the next month, looking at either Chelski or more likely the revenge match against Man City.
I hope somebody chops Muzzy Izzet in half.

I totally forgot about that. Kanoute should drop kick him.

So no foxsportsworld for this one?
Anybody know a internet radio site then?
I say 3-2 in another close on to Spurs

I'm with you, Chris. Looking at our last few, we got a small, little problem with our defense, but are putting them in with reckless abandon. It will be close, but I'll be shocked if less then 4 goals are scored on Sunday at the Lane.

i'd be there if i was at home but alas my season long american exile continues. can't wait for august when i can rescue my season ticket from the evil clutches of my sister and get back to the lane. i dream of the first home game... hot enough to just wear a t-shirt, one of those lush new season pitches, outdoor drinking till the small hours after the game and the prospect of actually winning something which this season has been lost in february yet again...
as for this, we should win by at least 2..but the old boys at leicester..our habit of giving teams on losing runs their break..televised and we always humiliate ourselves on TV...some worrying symptoms my long suffering friends. thatcher off the knee in the 89th minute? i can see it!

Taricco will do it :).
I'll be watching this at home on TV, looking forward to the game. Think we'll see a Spurs win, resulting in them flying up the table!

Villa - Birmingham are playing today. If Birmingham don't win then 3 points for Spurs pushes us up into 8th place and still in with a good shout of top 6.
It's starting to get serious for the relegation battling teams, so I expect Leicester to put up a hard fight.
I'm interested to know what team Pleat is going to pick, and whether Kanoute will be on the bench.

I think Kanoute should come on as a sub. Ease him back into the lineup, and allow him to be at full speed against tired Liecester defenders. Plus it allows Defoe another start, which should make all 3 attackers happy.

well Birmingham got the draw so 8th if we get the win today.
Anybody got webcast of the game for me? Stupid FoxSports America isn't showing the game today. Canada always gets the good game.

Another one of these crazy games that just might end up 3-2 like I said. Lets hope so because three points would be huge right about now.

Looking good so far! 3-1 Spurs and it's still early. Brown 13', Defoe 16', Keane 28', but unfortunately Doc had an own goal at 9'. Chris' prediction is looking rather good right now. And as Californiaspurs mentioned in the initial post, should we win this it would be 6 wins in 7 matches in 2004. Quite a record for the dubious Mr. Pleat!

24.95 for PPV. I can't believe I burned 25 dollars to watch soccer, but it is Tottenham.

Chris ... you're looking like a prophet. Now, just don't predict any more goals! :D
Spurs 3 - 2 Liecester
Les Ferdinand (yeah ... I know), scored at 51'. Game still going, and very much in doubt now. :(
Go you Spurs!

Can't seem to have a easy game to save our lives. Let's hope we hold on here. This doesn't bode well for the defense. We aren't going to be able to score 3 goals every game so we really need to right the ship and start really playing some defense.

Well right about now I will take a win no matter what the score is. Our attack is looking very weak at the moment so maybe Kanoute should come in and help out.

It just has to be the guy that used to play for us that scores.
Ferdinand from 18 yards out
3-2 to Tottenham

I can't believe how poorly we can play in the second half 3-3 score
