[alldaws1]

Spurs

Champions League qualification, UEFA or FA Cup success.

2. And the worst thing that can happen this season ?

Jermain Defoe leaving, not qualifying for Europe.

3. Your team's young player to watch ?

We have a few: Aaron Lennon, Tom Huddlestone, Terry Dixon.

4. Most important player ?

Ledley King, Paul Robinson and Michael Carrick close behind.

5. Who would you like the team to get rid of ?

Paul Stalteri.

Keep up the good work .

8. Which teams are you especially looking forward to defeat ?

Any London teams, Chelsea and Arsenal the most although I don't see it happening.

9. Which opposing players will get the most stick ?

If you see Sol Campbell, see Sol Campbell, tell him we've got Ledley at the back. Sol Campbell.

10. What place will your team get ?

5th or 6th.

[Colly]

Newcastle (again...)

1. What is the best thing that can happen this season ?

Top 4 place, Uefa Cup to stick one up the Boro

2. And the worst thing that can happen this season ?

Relegation, a dour Scot taking over from Roeder. Or a confused Dutchman.

3. Your team's young player to watch ?

N'Zogbia, but he proved enough last year. Matty Pattison, or Alan O'Brien

4. Most important player ?

Shay Given for sheer inspiration, Owen and Emre staying would be a huge boost.

5. Who would you like the team to get rid of ?

Boumsongs the most obvious but Amdy Faye is first on the block. He has absolutely no redeeming features, I could literally do a better job myself by having the ability to look for a pass.

6. Is(name of manager) the right man for the job ?

Looks good so far but time will tell on the transfer market this summer.

7. Have you got any advice for him ?

Give Luque a chance! A happy Luque up front could make us the speedy passing side we were with with Bellamy, Jenas (when he had potential) and a fully fit Kieron Dyer. Dyer, N'Zogbia, Emre, Luque and Owen breaking on you, you'd shat your pants.

8. Which teams are you especially looking forward to defeat ?

The big clubs, our stumbling block last year. Scrappy wins over Arsenal and Chelsea reserves were nice but it's be good to do one of them away from home. Boro's a certainty.

9. Which opposing players will get the most stick ?

Any ex-mags, Bellamy as mentioned, 'gay' Jermaine Jenas.

10. What place will your team get ?

Into Europe, Champions League with no injury troubles or Owen or Emre jumping ship.

[The Slickman]

Tottenham

1. What is the best thing that can happen this season ? Putting in another good season, hopefully beating Arsenal which we havent done for a while. Champions League out of the question ?

3. Your team's young player to watch ? Aaron Lennon.

4. Most important player ? Ledley King

5. Who would you like the team to get rid of ? Danny Murphy

6. Is(name of manager) the right man for the job ? Yes, has the respect of the players, fans and board.

7. Have you got any advice for him ? Dont EVER sell Robbie Keane

8. Which teams are you especially looking forward to defeat ? Arsenal, hopefully..

9. Which opposing players will get the most stick ? Sol Campbell, as always.

10. What place will your team get ? 6th, Slightly disappointing but still would be great for us.
