Early Seasons Predictions

The season's two weeks away and our opener against Liverpool has got us going again.

Our first four matches are as follow;


  • Liverpool, Sunday 16th August 2009, 4pm, Home

  • Hull City, Wednesday 19th August 2009, 7.45pm, Away

  • West Ham, Sunday 23rd August 2009, 1.30pm, Away

  • Birmingham City, Saturday 29th August 2009, 3pm, Home



My prediction is that we'll get 8 points from the opening above four games. I can see us getting a score draw against Liverpool and Birmingham.

After watching us in action against West Ham and Hull, I am pretty confident that we'll get 6 points from those games. Even though both games were friendlies, we looked far stronger and better prepared for the season.

Let's hope that we kick off strongly this time round.

  1. score draw from liverpool and birmingham equals 2 points....

    But 9 points from four games.... good one!

    7-8 points sounds about right
  2. The top four have all weakened apart from Chelsea. I have a feeling that City will break into the top 4, but that another team will also break into it.

    I think we can get 10 points from our games and the momentum will take us further up the league and give us the confidence to progress even further.

    I'm not saying that we're top 4 material, because we ain't, but we can push forward a lot this season.
  3. 7 points.
    Will lose to Liverpool, beat Hull, goalless draw with WH, and then a comfortable win against the Brum.

    7 points from 4 games is a very steady start, especially in comparison to last season :s
  4. I'm not sure if liverpool have really weakened, they have removed some deadwood and Glen Johnson is a good player, albeit overpriced. I feel that selling Arbeloa for a fraction of the amount they paid for Johnson is bad business, and if Xabi Alonso does leave I would assume they would spend at least some of the money on a replacement. With that in mind, I could see us losing to Liverpool, beating Hull, getting a draw at West Ham and beating Birmingham, so 7 points in all. If we get some good news on the central defender front (either at least one of Woodgate, King or Dawson fit in time for the start of the season, or a good new signing) then I would be tempted to upgrade the liverpool result to a draw or maybe the West Ham result to a win. Having said that, my predictions at the start of last season were pretty optimistic so let's just say I'll be happy with a steady start.

  5. I think will will lose 1-0 to Liverpool but win the rest. 9pts from 12, or is that the pre season hoping I have every year?
  6. yer im with "1:40" thats a more realistic prediction..
  7. YID ARMY!
  8. Reckon we'll come out guns firing!! 12 points,(kinda relying on the defence situation to be resolved though) but no worries about scoring up other end.
  9. Harry's record over 30 games last season was 1.633 points per game. Considering he had little influence on squad composition until January (when the key acquisition of Palacios ocurred) he achieved 1.47 points per game in his first 15 games and then 1.8 points per game in the second 15 games. With Crouch, Naughton and (A.N.Other?) he may be able to reach 2 points per game. So 7 points for the first four games would indicate Harry's on track. My main concerns out of the pre-season are poor finishing by strikers in general, dispponiting final pass quality by Lennon, CB's fitness, and still no player capable of delivering a dangerous free kick on target!!! Otherwise, all looks pretty good with a much better balance than last year.
  10. "still no player capable of delivering a dangerous free kick on target!"

    Gareth Bale anybody?
  11. Can't do it if he's not on the pitch ...
    ... besides, when did he last do it for Spurs?
  12. Listen draw against Liverpool, win against Hull West Ham and Birmingham . No worries Yids for 5th spot this year. Gooners in 6th
  13. 2 points from 8 games again
  14. Same as last season I think, no Europe = no world class signings. Great on paper, shit on grass. I hope I am wrong but we cant play away. 6 points from 2 home games, none from aways.
  15. 5 points from 4 games, ant more i will b very happy

    dont use friendlies to indicate form, we all know what spurs are like
  16. what team do you think would start against liverpool?
  17. spurs to win premier league this year with peter crouch top scorer with over 40 goals.. 30+ headers with new 1 - 9 - 1 formation the new wimbledon of the millenium and the start of crazy harrys gang!!
  18. Have to disagree, the Hull & West Ham games are both away, we're unlikely to win them both.

    The optimist in me says:

    Liverpool (H) - Draw - 1pt
    Hull (A) - Win - 3pts
    West Ham (A) - Loss - 0pt :(
    Birmingham (H) - Win - 3pts

    So 7 pts from our first 4 games in my eyes.

    I believe Harry hasn't lost against West Ham since he left them, law of averages states it's more likely with every game that goes by and he still doesn't lose to them. Naturally I hope i'm wrong and we do the double over them again!
