1) Would you make any changes to our starting line-up for the Spurs game
It appears that Klich may be carrying a knock, so Shack/Pablo in for him if not fit. Not sure that Llorente is ready, so stick with the same team otherwise.

2) Who is Spurs most dangerous player?
I fear Son's pace the most. Kane obviously, as well.

3) If there is one player you could pluck from the current Spurs team, who would it be?
Son

4) Do you rate Jose Mourinho as a coach?
He has a good record, but his teams aren't pretty to watch.

5) Where do you think Spurs will finish in the PL?
6th

6) Can Leeds stop the London hoodoo tomorrow?
I sincerely hope so, it can't go on forever.

7) What are your favourite Spurs v Leeds moments down at White Hart Lane from years gone by?
1974 Spurs 0 Leeds 3 and a Bremner masterclass. One of my all time favourite games.

8) Who are your favourite Spurs players from the past?
Greaves, Hoddle, White, Chivers.

1) Would you make any changes to our starting line-up for the Spurs game

I know I'll get stick for this, but here goes:
Back three against Kane and Son. So Klich out, allowing Alioski to take his place, hassling and closing down high upfield. This would allow Dallas to go to Left wing-back, where he's been best this season, and Shackleton to right wing-back. Shackletons pace could be a huge help against Son.

2) Who is Spurs most dangerous player?

Son.

3) If there is one player you could pluck from the current Spurs team, who would it be?

N'dombele

4) Do you rate Jose Mourinho as a coach?
Yes. Great record. Just don't want him at Leeds, as he shuts up shop as soon as his teams are a goal up.

5) Where do you think Spurs will finish in the PL?
Sixth

6) Can Leeds stop the London hoodoo tomorrow?
It's a big ask, but if Shackleton plays on the right, I think we can win. If he doesn't, then no. We'll get beat.

7) What are your favourite Spurs v Leeds moments down at White Hart Lane from years gone by?

With my memory issues, I have none.

8) Who are your favourite Spurs players from the past?

Jimmy Greaves.

Bridnight feast here.

Don't rate Mourinho at all. I know he's won stuff, but always with money, dull football and a load of hype.

Do I get a job on Amazon now?

Absolutely, warehouse suit you?

1) Would you make any changes to our starting line-up for the Spurs game

None but looks like Klich might be enforced (Shackleton at RB, Dallas at MC)

2) Who is Spurs most dangerous player?

Son

3) If there is one player you could pluck from the current Spurs team, who would it be?

Son

4) Do you rate Jose Mourinho as a coach?

Yes, but wouldn't want him at Leeds

5) Where do you think Spurs will finish in the PL?

3rd

6) Can Leeds stop the London hoodoo tomorrow?

Always a possibility

7) What are your favourite Spurs v Leeds moments down at White Hart Lane from years gone by

The 2-2 draw in the FA Cup in 2010

My favorite was a game I was at in 1992 at Elland Road. We beat them 5-0 including a Cantona hattrick

8) Who are your favourite Spurs players from the past?

Hoddle, Waddle, Ardiles

[HarryofOz]

1) Would you make any changes to our starting line-up for the Spurs game

Not unless we have injuries

2) Who is Spurs most dangerous player?

At this point in time Son is in great form

3) If there is one player you could pluck from the current Spurs team, who would it be?

Harry Kane

4) Do you rate Jose Mourinho as a coach?

He has a great record but I think he wastes the talents of attacking players. He is also a moaner which I don't like, but that is more a human trait than a coaching trait

5) Where do you think Spurs will finish in the PL?

Too hard to call this season but somewhere in the top six

6) Can Leeds stop the London hoodoo tomorrow?

Of course, Spurs will be favourites, but if the favourites always won there'd be no point to sport.

7) What are your favourite Spurs v Leeds moments down at White Hart Lane from years gone by

None that I can recall

8) Who are your favourite Spurs players from the past?

There are numerous Spurs players that I have enjoyed watching.

1) Would you make any changes to our starting line-up for the Spurs game
No barring injuries, so Klich is a concern. Seen no confirmation he is though...
2) Who is Spurs most dangerous player?
Son...
3) If there is one player you could pluck from the current Spurs team, who would it be?
Son...
4) Do you rate Jose Mourinho as a coach?
Have to respect his record...
5) Where do you think Spurs will finish in the PL?
4th-8th...
6) Can Leeds stop the London hoodoo tomorrow?
Always have to believe...
7) What are your favourite Spurs v Leeds moments down at White Hart Lane from years gone by?
1974 Spurs 0 v 3 Billy Bremner...
8) Who are your favourite Spurs players from the past?
Jimmy Greaves...

[White Riot]

1) Would you make any changes to our starting line-up for the Spurs game?
No, unless Klich, or anyone else is injured.

2) Who is Spurs most dangerous player?
Son, in lethal form this season.

3) If there is one player you could pluck from the current Spurs team, who would it be?
Son.

4) Do you rate Jose Mourinho as a coach?
His record speaks for itself, he wins silverware. His style has become more pragmatic, so I'm less keen on watching his teams now. Spurs have lots of exciting players, but he's forcing them to sit back and play on the counter = yawnathon.

5) Where do you think Spurs will finish in the PL?
6th or 7th, so below us

6) Can Leeds stop the London hoodoo tomorrow?
Yes, as long as they do the basics well and don't make stupid mistakes.. Also need to take our chances like we did against WBA. When we're clinical we can beat anyone.

7) What are your favourite Spurs v Leeds moments down at White Hart Lane from years gone by?
The only one I can think of is the cup run in 2010 when we drew with that Beckford penalty, magical

8) Who are your favourite Spurs players from the past?
Glenn Hoddle
Pat Jennings
Dave Mackay
Gazza
Sicknote
Waddle
Lineker

[1964white]

1) you make any changes to our starting line-up for the Spurs game

Unless enforced you have to stick with a winning team although this game will be much tougher

2) Who is Spurs most dangerous player?

Son.....his pace & awareness could kill us

3) If there is one player you could pluck from the current Spurs team, who would it be?

Son

4) Do you rate Jose Mourinho as a coach?

You have to respect his record.....as a person no, unsporting & miserable

5) Where do you think Spurs will finish in the PL?

5th

6) Can Leeds stop the London hoodoo tomorrow?

Yes if we play at our highest level, no silly mistakes at the back & clinical upfront are key

Surely we'll crack London one day

7) What are your favourite Spurs v Leeds moments down at White Hart Lane from years gone by?

0-3 Bremner supreme.....1-1 in the cup, Beckford last minute penalty.

8) Who are your favourite Spurs players from the past?

Jennings, Greaves, Gilzean, Mackay, Jones, Chivers, Hoddle, Ardiles, Villa, Ginola, Gascoigne, Linekar, Keane, Klinsmann....pretty sure there are more favourites

[Prisoner37]

My favourite Leeds v Spurs moment was, so called hard man, Alan Mullery pulling out of a 50/50 ball with Norman Hunter.

The ball dropped between them but quite a distance between the two. Mullery set off and Norman went into his shoulders forward scamper. Mullery then realised what he was about to let himself for and pulled out in a long acring run, as if he had to be somewhere else all of a,sudden.

Another reputation ruined by our own Stormin' Norman (sadly missed).

I remember that Norman moment

1) Would you make any changes to our starting line-up for the Spurs game

Nar. If everyone's fit there is no way.

2) Who is Spurs most dangerous player?

Hazza Kane. He has the quality to exploit the space on the counter. Top class finisher, up there with the best players around for me. Time will tell whether Jose gets the best out of him.

3) If there is one player you could pluck from the current Spurs team, who would it be?

See above

4) Do you rate Jose Mourinho as a coach?

He's a winner and i did until about 5/10 years ago, i thought he was the best around. The game became more attacking and seemed to leave him behind somewhat, hence why he is at Spurs. I genuinely couldn't see where he would end up after MU in the PL, i thought he would go back to Italy.

5) Where do you think Spurs will finish in the PL?

Top 6

6) Can Leeds stop the London hoodoo tomorrow?

It will be tough but we are capable of beating anyone on a very good day.

7) What are your favourite Spurs v Leeds moments down at White Hart Lane from years gone by?

Can't think of any off the top ov mi head.

8) Who are your favourite Spurs players from the past?

They have had some great players over the years. The one that sticks out is Clive Allen and his 49 goals in one season. What a season.

I found this clip of Malcolm Allison and Mullery having a "discussion". Allison's as cool as a cucumber, and Mullers spitting feathers, funny as

1974 Spurs 0 Leeds 3 and a Bremner masterclass. One of my all time favourite games.

8) Who are your favourite Spurs players from the past?
Greaves, Hoddle, White, Chivers.

Hoddle was a magnificent player - possibly the most talented midfielder English football has ever seen - though in the north he tended to be dismissed as ' Glenda ' where tough tackling, high work rate midfielders tended to be appreciated more. I remember him scoring with a brilliant long range shot against Man U at Old Trafford, and the commentator on MOD saying ' after a goal like that fans in the north may come to appreciate Hoddle's ability ' or words to that effect. Sadly he never quite hit the heights for England - there was a lot of controversy at the time that England managers valued work rate over pure ability. Ardiles felt that an Argentinian or Brazilian team would be built around Hoddle.
I think that Hoddle was definitely the best passer of the ball that English football has ever seen - completely two footed and with an amazing ability to put backspin on the ball and drop it straight into the path of a striker from any distance ;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdwesPS0vgg
