Manchester City V Tottenham Hotspur The Preview

Many people will consider today a league title showdown between arguably the 2 most exciting teams in the premiership this season...

This is a very hard one to call, Man City will fancy their chances as their home form is unbelievably great but the way Spurs play could quite conceivably dent that respectable record.

The main argument for Spurs fans expecting a win from their team would probably be the loss of the Toure brothers and Kompany and even though they will be missing Adebayor themselves, would you ever back against Defoe?? I think not..

That being said I'm going to go with an absolute thrilling 3-2 victory for Man City which will firm their place at the top of the table and make Spurs rethink their title hopes.

My Weekend Premierleague Predictions.

In this little bit of competition between each other we have decided we will receive 1 point for the correct result and 3 points for the correct scoreline.

Has The Festive Schedule Decided The Top 4?

As usual it's been a very hectic fixture list over the festive period but as we look at the league table here in the first week of January, are we seeing the realistic final four?

Current top 7....

1• Manchester City. Points - 48
2• Manchester Utd. Points - 45
3• Tottenham H. Points - 42
4• Chelsea. Points - 37
5• Arsenal. Points - 36
6• Liverpool. Points - 34
7• Newcastle Utd. Points - 33

While looking at the league as it stands it becomes apparent to me that Spurs really find themselves in with a chance of completing for the league title.
Not only were they the only team not to lose over the Christmas & new year they also have a game in hand which if they win will leave them level on points with Man Utd and therefore just three points behind Man City.

After the last few matches alot of people from fans to pundits will consider Manchester Utd in real trouble after losses to Blackburn and Newcastle respectively but in reality they are still up there.

My main question to football fans everywhere as the title suggests, is the top four decided or do Arsenal, Liverpool and Newcastle still have a chance?

In conclusion my personal opinion is that apart from Spurs no one in the premiership is majorly consistent right now and for me that leaves the top four very much wide open.
With 18 games still to play it's anyone's game and I wouldn't be so confident that the top 4 we currently have in place will still be firm by the time May comes around.

Is Harry Playing The Market Again?

In the Times newspaper today it is reported that Tottenham Hotspur are preparing a bid of 15 million pounds for Blackburns Christopher Samba & Junior Hoilett.

If for some reason struggling Rovers go for such a deal then Redknapp would've pulled off a couple of awesome signings and surely strengthen Spurs enough to be considered potential champions.?!

Many people will think yes...

What's your thoughts?

Are Spurs Real Contenders?

After Jermaine Defoe scored the winning goal against West Brom last night the question still stands....

Should we all be considering Tottenham Hotspur as genuine title contenders?

I've been thinking no all the way along but with each game that goes by it looks more and more like a possibility.

What's your thoughts on it guys?

Are they serious or just wannabes?
