I heard that too lought ! i suppose it gives the injury list a chance to clear up if you are looking for something positive.

The thing that stands in my mind more than anything about Blackpool is the 1953 semi-final when they played us at the villa ground. I was 13 years old (shows you how old I am) and went up to the game with my Dad on the train that was full of Spurs supporters singing all the way and not a bit of bother.

It was 1-1 with just a couple of minutes to go and Alf Ramsey.....who was having a great game.... passed the ball back to Ted Ditchburn very casualy and I think it was Stan Mortensen nipped between them and scored and we lost 2-1. The rest is history they went on to win a classic final that was known as the Stanley Mathews final and Mortensen scored a hat trick which was the first time anyone had and I do believe nobody has since. I think Mathews was 50 at the time and he scored the winning goal I believe.

It was sad that we didn't make it to the final but it was a classic as I say and had so much drama,goals and injuries.

TEAM NEWS

The lack of undersoil heating at Bloomfield Road has put Blackpool's match with Tottenham in doubt.

If it goes ahead, the Seasiders will be without captain Charlie Adam, who serves a one-match suspension.

Tottenham's Jermaine Jenas has had to delay his comeback from a calf problem and will be absent on Sunday.

Rafael van der Vaart and Younes Kaboul could both return from injury, while Wilson Palacios should be fit despite picking up a knock last weekend.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Blackpool

Suspended: Adam (one match)

Doubtful: Cathcart (knee), Halstead (illness), Vaughan (ankle)

Injured/unavailable: Almond (shoulder), Baptiste, Clarke, Gilks & Martin (all knee), Basham (leg), Harewood (hamstring), Rachubka (ineligible), Sylvestre (hamstring)

Tottenham

Doubtful: Kaboul (hip), Palacios (ankle), Van der Vaart (hamstring)

Injured: Huddlestone (ankle), King & Woodgate (both groin), Jenas (calf), O'Hara (back)



MATCH PREVIEW
The last time these sides met at Bloomfield Road was in 1991 when a 1-0 win in the third round of the FA Cup set Tottenham on their way to a famous Wembley victory. Football folklore says Spurs win a trophy when the year ends in one, and given their scintillating form so far this season the odds on a first title triumph since 1961 are shorter than they have been in a generation.

A record of only one win outside London in all competitions this season has given Spurs a reputation for travel sickness, yet Harry Redknapp's men are protecting a six-game unbeaten run and have not lost to Blackpool since 1966.

Only Arsenal and Manchester City have won more away games than Ian Holloway's men this season, but the Seasiders' form at home has been built on shifting sands, and they are the only side not to have kept a clean sheet in front of their own supporters.

It's a statistic that must concern Holloway with the likes of Jermain Defoe, Roman Pavyluchenko and Gareth Bale strutting into town.

But it's been a tangerine dream so far for the club on their debut in the Premier League, and they fear nobody. Tottenham have regularly succumbed to newly promoted clubs and few eyebrows would be raised if Blackpool added another scalp to their growing collection.

MATCH FACTS
Head-to-head

• Their last meeting came in the League Cup in 2007 with Tottenham recording a 2-0 home win in the fourth round. Their last league meeting came in the old Division Two in February 1978, with the Seasiders earning a draw at White Hart Lane. Tottenham won the reverse fixture 2-0 at Bloomfield Road earlier that season.

• The last time Blackpool beat Spurs in any competition was eight games ago back in October 1966 when they triumphed 3-1.

• This will be the 58th meeting between the sides. Tottenham have won 30 matches, Blackpool 13 and there have been 14 draws.

Blackpool

• The Seasiders' only defeat in the last seven matches was when they made 10 changes to the starting line-up at Aston Villa (W3, D3, L1).

• Blackpool have allowed the opposition 106 shots on target against them this season, more than any other team in the league.

• David Vaughan notched an impressive 91% pass completion rate at Stoke last Saturday.

• Blackpool have scored six goals from outside the box, more than any other side in the top flight.

Tottenham

• They have only won one game outside London this season in all competitions (v Stoke).

• Tottenham have thrown away eight points from winning positions this season, having drawn against West Brom, Sunderland, Birmingham and Chelsea. But they have recouped 16 points from losing positions, which is more than any other top-flight side.

• They scored with their only shot on target against Chelsea last Sunday and they had just 38% possession.

• Spurs have scored 52% of their goals with their left foot, a higher proportion than any other side.

Blackpool P-P Tottenham


Blackpool's Premier League match at home to Tottenham on Sunday has succumbed to the cold weather and has been postponed.

The Seasiders held a meeting involving both clubs, police, the local authority and the Premier League.

It was decided that because of fan safety - and despite the Bloomfield Road pitch being playable on Saturday - Sunday's game should be postponed.

A new date for fixture will be announced in due course.

So the pitch was playable today. In these days of health & safety no risks must be taken or minimised & controlled to the extent they are no longer a risk. Yup a week off into the busy Xmas period may not be such a bad thing Lee . . . . .

TEAM NEWS
Tottenham's Rafael van der Vaart will miss the game at Blackpool with a calf injury, but should be back for the match against Wolves on 6 March.

Defenders Jonathan Woodgate (groin) and Vedran Corluka (ankle) also miss out with injuries sustained during the Champions League win at AC Milan.

Blackpool have reported no new injury concerns ahead of Tottenham's visit.

Keeper Matthew Gilks and fellow Scot Stephen Crainey are still a few weeks away from returning to action.

MATCH PREVIEW
From the San Siro to the seaside; Tottenham follow up their famous victory over seven-time European champions AC Milan with a trip to seven-time Lancashire Senior Cup winners Blackpool.

The last time these sides met at Bloomfield Road was in 1991, when a 1-0 win in the third round of the FA Cup set Tottenham on their way to a famous Wembley victory. Football folklore says Spurs win a trophy when the year ends in one, and given their scintillating form in Europe this season, anticipation is building in north London.

By contrast, early-season expectations at Blackpool have been tempered by a collapse in form since the turn of the year that has seen Ian Holloway's men plummet down the table. The Seasiders have managed only one win in 2011, collecting just four points from an available 27.

Blackpool haven't beaten Spurs since a 3-1 victory at White Hart Lane in October 1966, but they have to go even further back for their last home victory over the London club: a 4-1 win in September 1956, back in the days when Jimmy Armfield and Sir Stanley Matthews were regulars in Tangerine.


MATCH FACTS
Head-to-head

• This is their first meeting since 2007, when Tottenham recorded a 2-0 home win in the fourth round of the 2007 League Cup.

• Their last league meeting came in the old Division Two in February 1978, with the Seasiders earning a draw at White Hart Lane. Tottenham won the reverse fixture 2-0 at Bloomfield Road earlier that season.

• Blackpool have not beaten Spurs in any competition for seven matches since a 3-1 league victory back in October 1966.

Blackpool

• Blackpool's draw with Aston Villa last time out ended a run of five consecutive league defeats, but they remain winless in six.

• The Seasiders have the worst home record in the Premier League: 12 points from as many matches.

• Only West Brom have conceded more league goals than Blackpool this season.

Tottenham

• Spurs are unbeaten in their last five league matches, winning the last three - their longest winning run of the season.

• They are unbeaten in all three Premier League matches against promoted clubs this season, but have failed to win either of their away matches against them - drawing 1-1 at West Brom (11 September) and 1-1 at Newcastle United (22 January).

• Benoit Assou-Ekotto is poised to make his 100th Premier League appearance for Tottenham.
