Can they be a force to be reckoned with this season? I know it's early days yet, but ever since they've picked up Wilson Palacios in January they've looked like a different team. With no European games to distract them, I think they may actually challenge the top four teams for league positions. What say you?

Crosby Nick · « **Reply #1 on:** August 19, 2009, 10:01:03 pm »

Wait til they've played someone decent and then it'll be easier to judge.

They would have done great, Ryba. But you have just cursed them.

Think they'll be in the top 6, possible challenging Man Utd and us for 4th place, what with us both being out of the title race now.

And Arsenal will win the league.

They've spent the last 15 years promising to be good - let's just wait and see.

I suspect Hull are a soft touch this season.

You just gone and jinxed them their spurs and will mess up as usual and lose to the smaller teams in the league.

Maybe they should do better with all that money they spend

CF999 · « **Reply #9 on:** August 19, 2009, 10:04:55 pm »

nah doubt it. EVERY club has one of those runs where they can't go wrong. They'll finish top 8 no doubt but not near the top 4 IMO.

We need to get Tommy_W to start an 'I like how you underestimate Spurs this season' thread.

gamble · « **Reply #11 on:** August 19, 2009, 10:07:50 pm »

beginning of the season means nothing at all. they'll probably do enough for europa league but not a top 4 team.

palacios is a big player for them, makes a lot of difference.

Gromit · « **Reply #12 on:** August 19, 2009, 10:08:19 pm »

They've matched the same results they got last season that's all, I'd wait at least 10 games in to see if they have any consistency.

-Sad Fuck- · « **Reply #13 on:** August 19, 2009, 10:11:50 pm »

Palacios to Barca next year, watch.

Nah, a non Spurs fan started a 'Spurs look quite handy up front without Keane and Berbatov this season' last year. This should do the trick.

Good little side he is building there and you're right, Palacios was a great buy for them

We were awful against them, so you can only really judge them on today's win at Hull. Who were probably awful.
Palacios is a great player and Spurs have a lot of attacking ability, but if you attack them with quality then you'll know whether or not they're any good. And he's a miserable twat Redknapp, one bad result and he'll blame everyone else and the boat will start sinking.

I got my 'Tottenham Hotspur Premier League Winners 09/10' tattoo done on Sunday, so it was handy we won tonight.

I can't say anything on their game today as I was playing footy myself, but you can't just say that we were awful on Sunday. Yes, we were, but Spurs looked good and they exploited our weaknesses. The results so far might not mean that they'll be in the top 4, but they suggest that it won't be easy for anyone in the league to take points off them making our result a bit more bearable...

Illmatic · « **Reply #22 on:** August 19, 2009, 11:06:37 pm »

Still too early to tell dont think they will finish higher than say 5th or 6th. I facny them to finish higher than say Villa and Everton but maybe not Man City.

SwedenRed · « **Reply #23 on:** August 19, 2009, 11:11:10 pm »

Spurs looking damn good. Really impressed with a re-juvinated Defoe. Might get his England place back at this rate.

Whisper it, but if we are considered title contendors, so should they be.

They have more in-depth attacking strength than we do.

Discuss.

Art Vandelay · « **Reply #36 on:** August 20, 2009, 12:06:16 am »

They're Tottenham. Even if they had a 73 point lead at this stage, they'd find a way to fuck up.

Something Else · « **Reply #37 on:** August 20, 2009, 12:08:45 am »

Yes they will continue this form and finished with 114 points

or they will get the odd injury and struggle. With finish above everton

Ecuared · « **Reply #38 on:** August 20, 2009, 12:11:45 am »

They certainly have a big squad, especially when it comes to attackers. They have four good strikers, although none of them are brilliant. They won´t have the distraction of Europe which will keep them fresh.

That being said their defense doesn´t strike me as being good enough. If Ledley King wasn´t a sure bet to be injured for large stretches of the season I would rate them a lot higher. Let´s wait and see, after 15 to 20 games we´ll have a much better idea.
