It would be just like Tottenham Hotspur to take on a side languishing near the bottom of the table coming off two wins thanks to a “new manager bounce”.
That’s the situation this weekend against Wolverhampton Wanderers. Just outside the relegation zone, Wolves fired manager Gary O’Neil and immediately won their next two fixtures against Leicester City and Manchester United.
Dr. Tottenham will see you now.
The situation has become even more desperate for a wounded and wearied Spurs side, with Ben Davies’ layoff now expected to extend into the new year, and with Radu Dragusin picking up a knock in the loss to Nottingham Forest. Whatever the situation with the squad, Ange Postecoglou will need to find a solution and fast. Perhaps this is the match he does that; maybe he can embrace his inner MacGyver and fashion a center back out of paper clips and duct tape?
COYS!

Match thread rules
The match thread rules are the same as always. To any visitors coming here for the first time, welcome! We’re glad you’re here! Wipe your feet, mind the gap, and be sure to check out the other pages at this outstanding site. While you’re here, though, we have a few rules and regulations:
- Absolutely no links to illegal streams. They’re bad and they get us in trouble. Violators will be warned or banned.
- We have rules against “relentless negativity.” Nobody likes a Negative Nancy. Don’t knee-jerk and post outlandish or hurtful things just because you’re frustrated.
- Along those lines, outright abuse of players or match officials is also not allowed. It’s fine to say “wow, that was a really bad call,” but it’s NOT okay to direct copious amounts of abuse in the direction of said official over a call you did not like.
- Treat other people in the match thread the way you would want someone else to treat your grandmother. Be nice. This is a community of fans, not an un-moderated message board.
- NO SPIDERS!
- Finally, while we don’t have a rule against profanity, please try and keep the naughty words in check. Also, language that is sexist, racist, transphobic, or homophobic in nature will be swiftly deleted and you will be immediately banned. This is an open, supportive community.
Have fun, and COYS!
