The Week That Was: SAFC Vs Spurs, Plus Plenty More Besides!

As the Nation throws out yesterday's wrappings from the fish and chip shop because that's what Jesus would have wanted its time to have a little gander at everything that has featured on these very virtual pages, starting with all the build up to the lunchtime kick off as Sunderland welcome Tottenham Hotspur to the Stadium of Light.

• Preview: Our man from the Valleys, but don't hold it against him, Karl Jones was nice enough to provide everything you need to know before kickoff and possibly stuff you don't but he's generous like that. Team news, predicted lineups, classic encounters, betting advice, music and a prediction - CLICK HERE
• Cult Heroes: I stepped forward on Thursday to give you another installment in our Cult Heroes feature where we look at a man that has represented both sides and made a bit of a name for themselves. This week we looked at a flying fullback who Spurs were keen to get off their wage bill just not to SAFC, obviously still a little bitter over the Darren Bent saga at the time.

• Podcast: Simon Walsh restored order by returning to hosting duties following my debut last time around and was joined by the reserved Michael Graham... who am I kidding. Listen as the lads look ahead to the game and cover all things SAFC and wrestling... CLICK HERE
• Fan Focus: The gaffer spoke with Kevin McCauley from the Spurs blog Cartilage Free Captain and provided the Londoners' perspective ahead of today's tricky clash. Read lots of nice words by CLICKING HERE

For everything else that we cobbled together, join us after the jump...

We kicked off the week in fine fashion as Chris Weatherspoon but aside his textbooks, cider and questionable pornography to take a break from his university studies and give us an indepth look at the tactics that saw Sunderland come close to earning an unexpected and memorable victory.
