Burnley v Spurs Match Preview

Are Spurs set to give Burnley the bird? With Harry Kane and Son still absentees could Troy Parrott get a start at Turf Moor? JM will certainly have to ring the changes after a run of four defeats the latest of which saw the Spurs bundled out of the FA Cup by the Canaries. It is hard to judge the mood in the Tottenham camp after the Norwich defeat which ended with Eric Dier in an altercation in the stands. After their visit to Turf Moor Spurs face a tricky return leg at Leipzig in the Champions League where they need to overturn a 1-0 deficit. Defeats to Chelsea and Wolves mean they have dropped to 7th in the PL and in danger of missing out on a Champions League qualifying place. Which game will they prioritise Burnley or Leipzig? For Burnley SD will have fewer selection problems but will Vydra or Wood start. One thing is certain. The Clarets are just two points and two places behind Spurs. So having already mentioned Parrott and then the Canaries it would be true to say a Burnley victory on Saturday will knock Spurs firmly off their perch! COYC!

How long have you been thinking that lot up outwood?

Brought a smile to my face on a Friday morning early doors.

Should we win tomorrow we will be soaring up the table.

It’s the Red Bull BT. It gives me wings!

I hope Vydra gets a chance again.

With Jay they could silence the cockerel.

It will certainly put the cat among the pigeons if someone in the Bob Lord Stand gives Dier's brother a dig! :mad:

BT --very true but it is not the coughing that you should worry about it is the coffin they carry you off in which is more important.

Anyone known the score when we played Spurs on 21st April 1964? No googling.

Without googling, was it 7-2?

If so I remember it well. We were 4-0 up at half time and Brian O'Neil scored two worldies.

If I remember it properly, it was a Tuesday night match and my school pal who was a rabid Wovers fan came with me. He was gloating that we could not possibly match their score against Tottenham earlier in the season.

How wrong he was!
