From my mate who gets right into detail on these things
"Harry's record against Arsenal is even worse that Spurs' with only 2 wins in 28 games and the last of those in 1999. He privately considers away games against the Big 4 to be unwinable and thinks a point is the most any team could realistically hope for. A stronger Pompey team than the Spurs team playing tonight last season played a very negative 4-5-1 with Kanu isolated against Arsenal as the 3 centre midfielders all sat to deny Arsenal space... and this was a Pompey home game! i'm pretty sure Spurs will do the same again tonight as a 1-0 battling defeat or a 1-1/0-0 draw would keep the morale up and momentum going from beating a very poor Bolton side... I can't see how Harry will keep to his "we'll have a go at them" statement from the other day and risk getting turned over 4 or 5-0. If Spurs get their draw, when the face Liverpool at home on Saturday, the team talk will be a lot easier having taken 4 points from 2 games."
Anyone think Spurs will go for a win?
