Still to early to tell just how bad both teams will be, but I predict a bottom half finish, for Tottenham at least. Bringing in Ramos was a terrible decision, but even inserting a non-English speaking manager was far from their most significant blunder of the past offseason. A non-Champions League contention team was made significant worse than even before by shipping out the squad’s reservoir of attacking talent, and failing to replace Berbatov and Keane with legitimate and proven attacking talent was the first sign that this year’s league result would not exceed that of recent seasons. For Newcastle, I can’t say with any certainty where they’ll finish – there’s enough talent on the squad to contend for a UEFA Cup slot, but they’re young and lack leadership. If they get their act together, I can certainly see them finishing 6th or higher in league.

Agree with Wandile. Though I would like to see the Spurs plumit after United stole Berba from them, I don’t see it really happening. Teams would pick their players apart next summer in transfers if they went down, and Spurs would end up staying down awhile like Charlton if it really happened.

There is absolutely no chance of Spurs playing in the Championship next year. I am willing to bet my house on that one!
