**Tottenham Hotspur Vs Wigan - Official OMT**

I would actually say it is, bearing in mind what games we have coming up in the next 2 months.

If we cant beat Wigan we cant expect to be beating the two Uniteds at home, let alone winning at Anfield,Emirates,The Bridge or even Goodison

This is 3 points we really need to pick up

Fortunately, football doesn't work like that. Beating one team does not change the ability to beat another (see us beating Chelsea and then losing the next game to Reading for proof, or losing to Pompey then beating Arse and Chelsk).

However, if we don't beat Wigan, we need to make up the points against somewhere a lot harder where we wouldn't expect to win like the above mentioned grounds.
 
When was the last time we beat a team in the league by 3 or more? I know we beat 9 man Liverpool 4-0, but beyond that I'm struggling ...
 
Tottenham Hotspur host Wigan Athletic at White Hart Lane on Tuesday 31st January 2012 in a Matchday 23 Premier League game of the 2011-12 season.

Spurs come into the match in 3rd place in the Table with 46 points, while Wigan are bottom of the Table on 15 points.

This will be the 15th time the two teams have met since Wigan Athletic gained promotion to the Premier League in the 2005-06 season.

Wigan Athletic were formed in 1932 after the demise of Wigan Borough and they gained their Football League status in 1978.

The first meeting between the two clubs came at Wigan's ground in November 2005 and resulted in a 2-1 win for Spurs with goals from Robbie Keane and Edgar Davids. Wigan's goal was scored by Lee McCulloch late in the game.

The reverse fixture at White Hart Lane in February 2006 was a 2-2 draw with Tottenham's goals coming from Mido and Jermain Defoe and Wigan's from Andreas Johansson who had put the Lancashire club ahead twice.

Spurs also took four points off Wigan in the 2006-07 season with a 3-1 home win in November 2006 with goals from Jermain Defoe, Dimitar Berbatov and Aaron Lennon after Wigan's Henri Camara had put the Lattics ahead.

The points were shared in a 6-goal thriller at the JJB Stadium in April 2007 with a goal from Dimitar Berbatov and a Robbie Keane brace for Spurs while Emil Heskey, Leighton Baines and Paul Scharner were on the scoresheet for Wigan.

Tottenham Hotspur once again took four Premier League points off Wigan in the 2007-08 season with a 4-0 win at the Lane in November 2007. Jermaine Jenas scored twice and there were also goals for Aaron Lennon and Darren Bent.

Dimitar Berbatov scored for Spurs in the 1-1 draw at Wigan in April 2008 with Emil Heskey grabbing the equaliser.

The 2008-09 season saw Wigan take four points after a goalless draw at White Hart Lane and a 1-0 win in January 2009 thanks to Maynor Figueroa injury time winner.

Spurs beat Wigan in the FA Cup third round that season 3-1 with a brace of goals from Roman Pavlyuchenko and one from Luka Modric. Wigan's goal was scored by Henri Camara.

Maximum points were taken by Spurs in the 2009-10 season after a massive 9-1 home win in November 2009, which saw Jermain Defoe become only the third player after Alan Shearer and Andy Cole to score five goals in a Premier League match. There were also goals from Peter Crouch, Aaron Lennon, Niko Krajcar and David Bentley. Wigan's goal was scored by Paul Scharner. Amazingly enough, Spurs only led 1-0 at half-time and the eight goals scored in the second half by Spurs all came within 39 minutes.

Jermain Defoe's goal and a brace from Roman Pavlyuchenko saw Spurs to a 3-0 win at Wigan in February 2010.

Last season was another good one for Wigan, who took four points off Spurs. They won 1-0 at White Hart Lane in August 2010 with a second half goal from Hugo Rodallega. The match at the DW Stadium was goalless.

The reverse fixture earlier this season in September 2011 resulted in a 2-1 win from Spurs with goals from Rafael van der Vaart after just 3 minutes and Garerth Bale after 23 minutes. Wigan pulled a goal back through Mohamed Diame five minutes into the second half, but had Steve Gohouri sent off after receiving a second yellow card.

Overall, Spurs have won 7 of the 14 matches played so far with Wigan winning 2 and 5 matches drawn.

This new board is a curse.
3 OMTs have been:

Draw with Wolves.
Loss to City.
And the worse performance of the season against Watford.
 
Thank you Statto; a modicum of normalcy restored. Apparently, Wigan attempt to play some decent football and that should afford us time and space to play to our strengths and not have to break through the metaphorical "bus" parked directly in front of their goal. For this reason, i think we will gain 3 points by the odd goal or two. Although it may not suffice to sate our raging demand for a rout, at this stage, given current League standings, that should be the priority and rightly so.
 
jesus christ!

what an abortion of an OOMT. disgraceful lack of effort.. lack of effort is the LAST thing we need after our dire performance against What?ford..

get your head in the game champ!

COYS!
 
I'd gladly take a sloppy 1-0 win if thats what it has to be, just to get the 3 points we need to keep that gap as wide as possible.
But we just dont seem to have had too many comfortable games at home recently
 
I reckon we'll get a decent win, though we'll concede. King will not play, he'll be kept for the more important game.

Walker Dawson Kaboul Ekotto
parker
Modric VDV
Lennon Ade Bale


Would be the perfect ind of game for sandro in my opinion, he seems to enjoy going forward more than parker and his defensive duties shouldn't be that great against a team that is likely to park the bus.
