Well, Spurs supporters found out one thing last week--it is easier to win a game that is 11 v. 9 than 11 v. 11. Sending offs for Liverpool's Charlie Adam and Martin Skrtel helped launched Tottenham Hotspur to a 4-0 win that has brought the team up to midtable. Emanuel Adebayor has kept his momentum going from the Wolverhampton match with a brace against Liverpool, while the likes of Benoit Assou-Ekotto, Kyle Walker, Scott Parker, and Luka Modric all turned it starring performances.
This week, Tottenham has a new challenge in facing a feisty Wigan Athletic side that shocked Spurs at the DW Side last season. Wigan is looking poor on the season though, coming off two league losses in a row and losing star striker Hugo Rodallega to injury.
Our faithful writers have continued in their prediction league, as Ryan continues to lead. The rules remain, one point for a correct prediction, a bonus point for getting the score correct. Here's the current standings:
| Name | Score |
| Ryan | 4 |
| The Roosevelts | 3 |
| Kevin | 2 |
| Mechanick | 2 |
| Ashlock | 2 |
| Evan | 1 |
This week's predictions after the jump:
Kevin: We'll dominate, but Al Habsi will play well enough to keep it respectable. 2-0 Spurs
Ashlock: Tottenham should win this game handily, but Ali Al-Habsi keeps this respectable. 3-0 Spurs
Mechanick: No Rodallega means to goal scoring for Wigan. Parker grabs his first. 2-0 Spurs
Ryan: If we lose this match I will cry. I don't want to cry. Goals by Adebayor and Bale. Spurs 2-1
The Roosevelts: I base this solely on how optimistic I currently am about the team. This is not a Spurs fans natural state of being. A loss is inevitable. 5-1 Wigan
Evan: Spurs put it together away from the Lane and begin climbing back up the table. 2-1 Spurs

4-1, Spurs.
We concede when I’m brought in as a sub at CB since we have no actual players healthy to bring in. Sorry for blowing it, y’all.

2-0 Spurs
Ade scores one in the first half, and Ledley has one go in late off his ass.

4-0 Spurs (Ade Defoe Modric Bale)
I changed my mind about the line up because trying to fit Sandro in with VDV too earmarks two subs from kick off. So if Townsend is fit I think he will play behind Bale on the left. Could be a classic game tomorrow as Wigan play like us.
2-1: ade + kaboul header.
eff it, make them both headers! vdv serving them up interspersed between the 38 shots he will take on goal to make up for time missed.
unfortunately, i can see us getting caught on a counter attack.
i am looking forward to seeing sandro. will he unveil a new hair color? perhaps a piercing or a tattoo? im hoping he becomes the dennis rodman of the premier league. Sandrodman!
No Defoe
Friedel;
Walker, Kaboul, King, Assou-Ekotto;
Parker, Sandro
VDV Modric,, Bale,
Adebayor.
Very strong but surprised JD is out
