It will be particularly interesting to see what sort of team Spurs put out, considering the injuries we currently have. I'd be surprised if all of Defoe, Lennon, Kaboul, and van der Vaart started or were on the bench. Lennon has the greatest chance of all 4. If all are healthy it will be: -----------------Friedel----------------- -Walker---King---Kaboul---Ekotto- -Lennon---Modric---Parker---Bale- --------------van der Vaart------------ ---------------Adebayor---------------- If VDV isn't fit Defoe might well start up top with Ade. If he's also out, either Saha to partner Ade or Kranjcar to come in with Bale playing more of a free role up top. Spurs are tough to take down at home and we looked especially strong defensively against Liverpool. 3-1 Adebayor, Bale, Modric Ba

1. What do you really think of NUFC? Newcastle are a big club, there really isn't any way around that. Good history, great support. Not much more to say. Two of my closest mates support Newcastle, so I get to hear quite often how great of a club it really is. To be fair, i've been massively impressed by you lot this season. You've played some really complete games this season, with both defense and attack lining up well. Ba needs no explanation and Coloccini (sp?) has really shown his class at times. All in all, would love to see you finish as high as possible without passing us. 2. Do you think Spurs are now part of the elite clubs in this country for the foreseeble future? We are one of the top clubs in the country, but it's a bit premature to call us elite particularly with the current situation with Harry and England. We have players that could walk into just about any side in Europe, bar Spain's big 2, in Bale, Modric, even van der Vaart. Our current form suggests we are a serious contenders for more than just a CL place. The morale amongst the players has to be high given our current form (though, again, the Harry thing makes it tricky). But at the end of the day it is still Spurs we are talking about, bottlers and all. I've taken this season one day at a time. The better we play, the more happy and surprised I get, but I always think it is important to keep realistic expectations. Things are great now, but that can all change in one days time. Regardless, it has been an incredible season so far. 3. If Redknapp goes what will happen with your club? We'd hire someone to replace him, i'd imagine. In all seriousness, though, no one man is bigger than the club, and that includes Harry. There is no denying what he has brought to Spurs. We were in the basement when he took over, and now we are coming down the stretch still within striking distance of first. He will be loved by Spurs fans for that alone. However, if he does leave for England it is hard to say what sort of impact it will have at the club. It really depends on who we hire to replace him. Levy has a lot invested in this current side and would work his tail off to bring in a top replacement. Keeping Bale, Modric, etc. will be top priority. 4. What is your prediction for the match? We are tough to beat at home, where we have shown a great willingness to score goals. Our defense has also greatly improved, as evidenced by our display at Anfield. We do have some fitness questions in Lennon, VDV, Defoe, Kaboul, but if King plays that will be a big boost. That said, I still see you all scoring at least 1. I'll say 3-1 with goals from Bale, Adebayor, Modric, and Ba. 5. We've gave you a few scuddings in the past, does beating us give you that extra bit of satisfaction? Absolutely. Newcastle has been somewhat of a bogey team for us, that is true. Any time you beat a big club, especially one who currently sits fifth in the table, you're going to get that extra bit of satisfaction. I'll get to the rest when I find some more time. Got to actually work when you're at work, or so i'm told.

Everyone has an opinion on Harry it seems. Suppose we are just looking for that odd one who actually likes him!

Cheers for the responses so far

Howzit, everybody? Spurs fan here in peace. I come from the Spurs forum http://www.tottenhamhotspurs.tv and was hoping that you all might be willing to answer some pre-match questions regarding the upcoming fixture between Spurs and Newcastle. I will be compiling the answers and posting them on our site for our members to read in an attempt to spark some good pre-match conversation. Please feel free to answer any or all of the 10 questions below. Thanks in advance for your help, looking forward to a great match this weekend! You all have had a great season thus far. Where in the table do you see Newcastle finishing? Do you have what it takes to finish about Arsenal, Liverpool, or even Chelsea? Where do you see Spurs finishing this season? It seems like many Newcastle fans questioned the hiring of Alan Pardew at first. What are your thoughts on him now? What is your opinion of Harry Redknapp? Would you take Andy Carroll back at a reasonable price or have you moved on from him completely? Do you think he'll ever be able to regain his form at Liverpool? Are you surprised at the team's form after losing Nolan, Carroll and Barton in a short space of time? How highly do you rate Tim Krul? Do you fear losing him in the summer? Who is your favorite Newcastle player to watch play? Favorite Spurs player to watch? Who are your top transfer targets in the summer and how many pieces do you need to add to be a legitimate top 4 threat (if any)? Finally, what is your prediction for the match? Who scores? Mods: I hope I've put this thread in the right place. If not, feel free to move it or let me know where I can re-post it.
