A rather muted Saturday showing, with just six matches on offer, provides the backdrop for another countdown to deadline. The surgery chatroom is now open for business and available here for those looking for some quick therapy and instant feedback on wacky last minute tinkerings and armband switching.

We’ve just under an hour to go, with the Pre-match Preamble on it’s way and Dugout Discussion to follow as Aston Villa and Norwich get this tepid day of action underway.

Akers Richard or Akers, as he is known, has been regularly haunting this site since July 2008. He is young and foolish, take what he says with a pinch of salt. Follow them on Twitter

      Spurs play with a high back line, also the aerial threat by Lambert is something they could struggle with. Also, they havent done well with cs's and they are lacking a quality player in front of the back four at present.. Although the same could be set for city, i can see them staying tight this week, their defensive provlems need to be addressed and this could well be the game they do it.

    Armband for Ba, Caz or Bale?

    Currently on Ba because he is the cutting edge of everything the Toon do and on pens. Bale seems a great option but: (a) might have had sleepless night (a bit might); (b) is v unpredictable points wise (2, 2, 2, 15, 2); and (c) anyone scores for Spurs - it is not usually bale.
