Premier blog: Spurs v Wigan
-
Just about time for Tottenham kick-off. Hoping Spurs get the 3 pointsby AlexTNelson via twitter 11/3/2012 2:45:44 PM -
Andre Villas-Boas has opted for Brad Friedel in goal as Tottenham look to return to winning ways against Wigan at White Hart Lane.
Aaron Lennon, Sandro and Jermain Defoe return after missing the 2-1 defeat to Norwich in the Capital One Cup while Emmanuel Adebayor has been named among the Spurs substitutes following his recovery from illness. -
Wigan have made eight changes from the side that were knocked out by Bradford in midweek, with the likes of Arouna Kone, Jean Beausejour and Franco Di Santo all being given starting berths.

Let me remind all you arsenal fans that TOTTENHAM beat MUTD @ Old Trafford , We are the Kings on North London,by RawIsAguerico via twitter 11/3/2012 2:47:31 PM -
How can there be so few #Wigan fans here at @officialspurs yet we give them so many tickets? What a waste! Such a pathetic club they are!by dan_lille via twitter 11/3/2012 2:51:47 PM -
After United's victory over Arsenal today, Spurs will be eager to stretch their lead over the Gunners in the Premier League.

The players make their way onto the pitch at the Lane.
-

If this how it feels, how does a tottenham fan feel? Or better yet a fulham or birmingjam or norwich fan? #idontwannaknowby joshmut via twitter 11/3/2012 2:59:32 PM -

The game has kicked off. Let's hope we get a cracker from two teams that like to play good football.
-
2' Watson gives the ball away to Dempsey who only manages to force a save from Al-Absi. Spurs corner as Wigan escape.

Wigan's away support today is embarrassing!by ejnewstead via twitter 11/3/2012 3:03:40 PM -

-
4' A fairly quiet start to the game apart from the early Dempsey chance after Watson's misplaced pass.
-
Arsenals future is nothing changes- theo leaves, out of champs league, finish below spurs, not qualify for CL, not win a trophey, same teamby JacksonKieran via twitter 11/3/2012 3:05:23 PM -
3-0 to Spurs for me. A brace for my Fantasy Football captain Gareth Bale hopefully! -
5' Spurs are putting the Wigan defenders under pressure to try and make them surrender pressure, but Wigan get up the pitch only for a long pass to go wastefully out for a Spurs goal kick.
-
Good to see the Hud back in Tottenham's starting XI... #BetterThanAlonsoby louis_ford via twitter 11/3/2012 3:07:29 PM -
7' Some nice passing by Wigan in the Spurs half, but the home side eventually nick the ball off them.
-
8' Home fans starting to get impatient already as William Gallas passes the ball back to Friedel.
-
8' Dempsey has a second shot on goal from just outside the penalty area, but it goes wide to the left.
-
Fulham have just gone ahead of Everton courtesy of a Tim Howard own goal.
-
10' Spurs corner after they play the ball out of defence. Home side are starting to boss the game now.
-
12' The game has yet to really spark as neither side has had a really good chance yet and Spurs seem to be a bit ponderous in possession.
-
15' Some nice wing play by Aaron Lennon sees him cross the ball into the Wigan area but they manage to scramble it away.
-
So many players bunching it is quite school boy #thfcby clayski123 via twitter 11/3/2012 3:17:22 PM -
Sandro is easily the best Spurs player at the moment. He’d be even better is Dembele were healthy. #THFCby 3DLink via twitter 11/3/2012 3:17:26 PM -
17' Away side now on the attack, but Moussa Dembele athletically clears a Wigan cross.
-
The England and TottenHam Skipper Aron Lennon is a best Right winger....he will make u busy on the pitch
#Mesmirizingby 02_12_RORI via twitter 11/3/2012 3:19:04 PM -
18' Spurs fans trying to gee up their team who are playing keep ball in the middle of the pitch.
-
19' Maloney and Kone combine down the left from a counter-attack but it eventually comes to naught.
-
Wigan's deep defence is definitely frustrating the home side and they have just shown that they can be dangerous on the counter.
-
21' Vertonghen volleys towards the Wigan goal for Al Habsi to save as Spurs threaten from their corner kick.
-
22' Chance for Wigan as they break quickly. Good end-to-end stuff now.
-
Walker sleeping at the back again but great going forwardby nad_THFC via twitter 11/3/2012 3:24:36 PM -
AVB makes an early change as Sigurdsson comes on for Sandro.
-
Ahh not good to see Sandro injured but I think we'll benefit from having siggy on! #thfc #totwigby Andrew_Labib via twitter 11/3/2012 3:25:20 PM -
@johncrossmirror Spurs players drink Red Bull. That explains why Gareth Bale falls like Felix Baumgartner #thfcby TonyTame via twitter 11/3/2012 3:26:58 PM -
26' Spurs strikers putting the Wigan defence under pressure again a Al- Habsi nervously has to make a hurried clearance.
-
It's kool we only play 45 minutes a game anyway this is our bad half #THFCby ArunSB_9 via twitter 11/3/2012 3:27:40 PM -
I've seen better support in the conference. Wigan are a pathetic football club #wafc #thfcby collins_the_boy via twitter 11/3/2012 3:27:57 PM
