Under 2.5 goals.

2 teams with 0 confidence at the moment so im surprised at how high the odds are on the unders.

Everyone knows the problems at the Toon. Chairman wants out, fans raging cos King Kevin walked, no manager and a squad of players who look a little disinterested at times and are certainly not of the quality the fans are hoping for.

They are really struggling to make chances and sit one of the bottom of the table.

Its worse for the Spurs, they are bottom. I have to say should anyone be surprised when they lose Berbatov and Keane, possibly their 2 best players and certainly the 2 best forwards.

They are playing a pretty horrible style away from home also, keeping it tight and putting plenty men behind the men. Thats not going help their strikers if they create next to nothing.

Last weekend they played out a 0-0 with Wigan. That is not the Spurs overs punters are used to watching, they were one of the best sides for goals last season. This year they are possibly the best in the premiership for unders, so far anyway.

Viduka is still out for Newcastle, as is Barton, Moderic misses the game for Spurs and Pavlyuchenko should be rested for important league games. Will there be any real class on show in this game ?

This looks a real struggle and with those Geordie fans getting right on their own players backs they will be as nervous as ever.

Newcastle v Spurs under 2.5 goals with betfair at 2.08
