They are great hopes for the top half, around 10th. They have had some great signings and are currnetly 3rd, so please give them some credit... why does no-one ever give wigan athletuc any credit?

Picking them 8th was tough for me. I actually think they may finish much lower, and after all this talk this summer that they would pass Arsenal and maybe Liverpool, I have found my self actively rooting against them. Spurs could have brought in the class Blackburn did with Santa Cruz instead of someone as over rated and useless as Bent. Jenas is a complete washout, and Keane sometimes doesn't show up ala Landon Donovan. I maybe wrong in the long run but having fallen for this Spurs thing three times in the past (1999,2003,2006) I am not buying it this season at all. Even when they string together a few victories be assured they will at some point completely collapse and miss Europe all together. <br/><br/>Blackburn is the team to watch for me. I think they are Top 4, champions League material. I’m glad many are now seeing my point of view on Spurs. Picking them 8th was tough for me.

Thats also a ballsy pick for Bolton to go down over Derby. Glad to have you back in action, Gaffer.
