David James: Spurs are tough

"Spurs is always a difficult game.

"It was last season when we drew down here and lost away, they always seem to test me.

"I haven't been on the winning side against them for a good few years now.

"It's going to be a hard game, they certainly seem to have been given a new lease of life with the new manager."
