Who goes out for Bale. Nani, Mata or Silva?

Great. 3 possible pts from bale. He will be my joint top scorer of the week with Walters and silva

been a pretty dirre half so far.

Spurs keeping with the 'top teams doing bugger all this gw' theme then.

Norwich 0-0 Tottenham
Mike Henson's HT snapshot: "Spurs are slowly turning the screw on the Canaries with Gareth Bale, Rafael van der Vaart and Luka Modric lurking menacingly behind Emmanuel Adebayor. Younes Kaboul is edging the aerial battle against Grant Holt and Steve Morison at the other end."

BBC Radio 5 live summariser Steve Claridge at Carrow Road: "Norwich can't keep chasing the ball. They have to get a breather somewhere."

2018: HALF-TIME Norwich 0-0 Tottenham

2015: Big let-off for Norwich as William Gallas is tripped in the box by Steve Morison as a free-kick comes in. Gallas goes to ground but the offence goes unseen. Paul Lambert looks a relieved man.

Matthew Bradford on Twitter: "Some of the football from Spurs tonight is just wonderfull to watch. Just needs a goal to cap it off."

BBC Radio 5 live
BBC Radio 5 live summariser Steve Claridge at Carrow Road: "I think Emmanuel Adebayor thinks he is wearing an invisibility coat! Every time John Ruddy claims the ball he tries to hide behind him and catch him out."

2006: Anything Spurs can do, Norwich can do better (well, not really). But a great move from Norwich as Grant Holt steps over a through ball, Andrew Surman spreads it to Steve Morison who shoots wide. Breathless stuff in Norfolk. Rafael van der Vaart then thumps one into the side-netting. Surely a goal is on the cards?

2005: That is fantastic from Spurs as they break quickly. Luka Modric plays the ball through to Gareth Bale and his powerful drive is parried out by John Ruddy. Fine play.

2002: There he is! Gareth Bale is onto a bad touch from Russell Martin in a flash and bursts in on goal but he shoots over. Rafael van der Vaart then plays in Emmanuel Adebayor with a peach of a pass but John Ruddy does enough to shepherd him out. Spurs hammering on the door now.

2000: Half an hour in and we've still no goals here, though there is definitely more progressive football on show than last night at Stoke. We could do with a goal before the break though to be honest. Gareth Bale looks the man.

Gavin Grewcock on Twitter: "What a difference there is from Stoke-Villa to Spurs-Norwich. Negative football - positive football."

1957: This is better from Norwich as first Grant Holt and then Steve Morison bully their way into dangerous areas but are unable to find a killer ball. The direct route looks the best one for Norwich. Straight back at the other end, and Gareth Bale has a shot deflected wide.

1954: Kyle Walker sends in a fine cross but Norwich defender Russell Martin scrabbles back to make a headed clearance. Every time I've seen Martin play this season he's made at least one amazing goal-line clearance. He's a magnet for danger.

QPR midfielder Joey Barton on Twitter: "Game done, now to the hospital. Missus is going into labour. Great timing luv........#nosleeptonight"

1951: Brad Friedel makes a bit of a hash of dealing with a dangerous low cross but Tottenham get it away. With Grant Holt and Steve Morison up there Norwich could do with throwing more crosses in.

1949: Gareth Bale has found his way back out onto the left wing and spins away in style to play the ball in. It ends up at the feet of Kyle Walker but the right-back has one to forget as he smashes it miles wide.

1947: Norwich have another long-range try as David Fox pings one in at Brad Friedel. Easy for the veteran keeper - it needed Ruel Fox on it to be honest.

BBC Radio 5 live summariser Steve Claridge at Carrow Road: "It is actually quite a nasty forearm to the face and I'm not sure how Grant Holt can claim that Benoit Assou-Ekotto is making a meal of it."

1944: Spurs have had 70% of the ball so far but Norwich have managed to slow down the onslaught somewhat in the last few minutes. Left-back Adam Drury needs some treatment after a clash of knees but the stalwart is going to be ok.

1942: Norwich captain Grant Holt decks Benoit Assou-Ekotto with a forearm smash but gets away with a ticking off. Strange call.

1938: Steve Claridge is bang on there, Gareth Bale is playing through the middle for sure. To good effect as well. Maybe a tactical switch with Norwich's 'diamond' formation in mind. Spurs are pushing hard.

BBC Radio 5 live
BBC Radio 5 live summariser Steve Claridge at Carrow Road: "Gareth Bale is not offering any width at all for Tottenham at the moment. He is playing inside of both Luka Modric and Rafael van der Vaart."

1936: Delightful stuff from Tottenham as Rafael van der Vaart plays a clever ball into Emmanuel Adebayor, he backheels to Gareth Bale who curls a shot at John Ruddy. 100mph stuff from Spurs so far.

1935: Spurs in the mood for an early goal, as Rafael van der Vaart runs onto a Gareth Bale flick but can only shank his shot tamely toward goal from 20 yards. A win for Harry Redknapp's men here would put them four points ahead of Chelsea with a game in hand.

1933: It's as open as you like here as Gareth Bale threatens to run in on goal for Spurs but Norwich survive.

1931: Steve Morison is not messing about - he thumps a 30-yard volley straight at Brad Friedel inside the opening 30 seconds. That's the spirit boys.

Whistle
1931: We're away...

Los Nochas Caliente - my FFS H2H opponent - has Ade, Bale and VDV, lol, if this stays 0-0 AND BPs work out OK I might get an unlikely win 🙂
Altohugh I could do with some points from Ade........

Not starting BAE looks like a BAE-D decision on my part but a very good pun!

That was a pretty bad first half...Aston Villa vs. Stoke City bad

Next game Jones will meet his old club, time to score big 😀

unreal that bale didnt score that half ..F ME!!!

1st law of hard knocks: which ever queue you choose in mcdonalds that is the one that moves slowest. 2nd law: whatever game you most need goals from for fpl delivers least.

Its a novelty to find meat in the half time pie. Very welcome change.

Although that cant be said of the pies at Norwich. Delias pies are lovely, i recommend.

Norwich 2 attempts on, 1 off
Spurs 3 attempts on, 7 off

United Lineup v BLACKBURN.... .............predictions?

Kyle Walker has been the absolute worst player on the pitch so far

Wonder will anyone get a jackpot with a lot of draws Swansea, Liverpool, Arsenal, Man City, Chelsea and Spurs games...

No MOTD tonight? Thats a bit naff.

Anyone still think Rvp will be rested after the draw today?

Need some advice for the free WC in week 20.

If I don't do any transfers in week 19 and I do my WC week 20 I presume I will have 2 freebies in week 21?

Watching Grant Holt elbow people in the face makes my blood boil. Hope he gets whats coming to him

it will some up this gw if ruddy keeps a clean sheet..with all the likeable fixtures i was confident of geting 70+ points this gw..how wrong were many of us

Tottenham could use Defoe in this one..

I am going to sit here and play my guitar until tottenham score

omg - first time I've seen gypsy weddings.

unbelieveable

Oh Bale!

Seriously, STOP SHOOTING BALE!

Dreadful effort from bale there

Hmm i actually forgot i had Morrison playing. In fact, i forgot he was playing full stop.

Bale hunting Aliens by shooting

Cold this be the first cleanie for Ruddy? Of course he is on my bench. And aint moving.
