Here’s our team v Fulham – (as 4-2-3-1) – Friedel; Walker, Gallas, Kaboul, Bale; Livermore, Sandro; Lennon, van der Vaart, Modric; Adebayor. Subs: Cudicini, Nelsen, Smith, Giovani, Kane, Saha, Defoe.

And so here we are. Only Martin Jol stands between us and a Moneybags League spot. Given pasta events, oh the irony and what are the chances? If we beat Fulham, the worst we can finish is fourth. I suspect there’s no point in worrying about what goes down elsewhere, the Hawthorns in particular, we blew our chances of third long ago. Bayern Munich may also have a...

Whilst Spurs fans are thinking of déjà vu and lasagne, their Fulham equivalents are preparing for the summer. Ahead of this weekend’s season defining afternoon, I interrupted a Cottager in the process of digging out his flip flops and barbecue tongs and asked him a few questions about what life’s been like in their first season under BMJ. Who are you and why on earth...

Jan Vertonghen is hoping Ajax do not price him out of a move to Tottenham this summer. The 25-year-old defender has just one year left on his current deal with the Dutch giants and has also been heavily linked with a move to Arsenal. He is regarded as one of the best Dutch defenders and will definitely be departing for pastures new this summer. With Ledley King and William...

Stephen Warnock is Aston Villa’s highest ranked player in the EA SPORTS Player Performance Index. Warnock who is ranked 48th has won 72.5% of all the tackles he’s attempted so far this season. Warnock is also third overall in the EA SPORTS Player Performance Index for total tackles won this season with 81, Maynor Figueroa leads the Index with 103. Gabriel Agbonlahor...

Robbie Keane’s couple of months at Celtic a couple of seasons ago brought him a Hoop of the year award I seem to remember. Despite only featuring in half a dozen or so games for Villa this January he can’t be far off a similar accolade such has been their lack of success during this campaign. They lie fifteenth, three points clear of the drop zone and will...

BBC football pundit Mark Lawrenson has tipped Tottenham Hotspur to beat Aston Villa on Sunday. Spurs travel to Villa Park to take on Alex McLeish’s Premier League strugglers as we aim to topple Arsenal from third place – sadly however, Lawro is also tipping them to beat Norwich 2-0. With them just a point ahead of us with two gmaes to play we need to ensure...

Bolton away on a rainy Wednesday night. A fixture as full of importance as it is empty of glamour. The presence or not at the game of Fabrice Muamba has dominated the early game previews, given the new perspective he must’ve gained on life in the last couple of months, I’m not sure a half empty Reebok would seem that attractive but maybe he likes the pies. And...

Another often flat performance but at last one with the right result. Led by stand out performances from Sandro, Kaboul and Gallas and the intelligent promptings of Van der Vaart we saw off a chronically poor Blackburn, probably the worst side to come to White Hart Lane this season. Kyle Walker’s unexpected but beautifully arced free-kick made the points safe after...

Tottenham: Friedel; Walker, Gallas, Kaboul, Rose; Lennon, Modric, Sandro, Bale; Van der Vaart; Adebayor. Subs: Cudicini, King, Nelsen, Livermore, Giovani, Defoe, Saha
