Even top 10 seems to be a struggle for them at the moment when they couldn't beat 10 man everton AT HOME. Not judging them on that one game, but they've failed to impress so far this season. Lot of hard work to be done to make something of the season. I expect them to get dumped from UEFA cup pretty early as well. Hope they prove me wrong. Of the teams mentioned above, I give newcastle no chance of a top 10 finish, Portsmouth may well turn out to be the dark horses of the current campaign. Everton will live up to their nickname of Neverton and fade away into 12/13th soon enuff. West ham have a decent team and i see them doing well. Ive never liked bolton, mostly coz of spurs' record against them but i have to respect the team - top chance in my book of a top 10 finish.

Robinson will be a great keeper but he is young and very few keepers are good till late 20's at least. believe it or not 6th is still pretty good spurs fans west ham 5th before they borrowed/signed tevez and Mascherano i felt they would do well again this season and the fact reo coker stayed can only be good. will they be the next chelsea or a feeder club for chelsea though thats the question, although unlike chelsea they can fill a stadium tottenham 6th

Whats dodgy about Robbinson, he is a quality keeper who has proved him self at spurs and as englands number 1 for 2 years. 2. We diddnt have a left winger last year, but now we have mallbronke, ziegler and taino who can comfortably play there. 3.Jenas scored 8 league goals last year. how about you 'take away the goals' from van nistleroy, how good will he be then! 4. we have gardner, davenport, dervitte and huddlestone who is back up to king.

Pompey aren't playing well you say? Is your knowledge of pompey this season, limited to the 4 minutes edited match of the day highlights of the opening day win over blackburn? The facts are..pompey could have beaten blackburn by 6 or 7 goals, they played some sensational stuff. Boro away, 4-0 could have been 6-0. I suggest you engage your brain before commenting about a team who have scored 7 goals, conceded none, and saying their not playing well. What an absolute load of tosh!

Spurs will stuggle this season: 1. Thier spine has been affected. Zakora still needs to prove he can replace Carrick. Robinson has been dodgy, not yet impressed by Berbatov. 2. No left winger. 3. Jol sven-ism on Jenas (apart from his goals, Spursplays with 10 men with him in the team) 4. No back-up to King. MY VERDCIT: 8/9th Newcastle will stugle defensively, but they are an attacking force with Duff and Martins MY VERDCIT: 7th Everton, to me is a very under-rated team. They have excellent midfielders in Cahill, Arteta and Osman, and great strikers in Johnson Beattie and McFadden. They also have a strong back 5. Howard, a reliable keeper behind a 10 million centreback partnership with two attacking fullbacks, Valente and Neville. MY VERDICT: 5th Portsmouth, a good squad with an excelletn manager. MY VERDICT: 6th. Hmm… Spurs will stuggle this season:
