The fans upped the ante for the repeat fixture against Hull in the League Cup on Wednesday but it made very little difference.
While we took an early lead, the team again sat back and found themselves having to come from behind to draw before winning 8-7 on penalties.
We face Everton this afternoon and Spurs fans are all hoping that AVB's chickens aren't about to come home for a good roosting session.
Whatever happens at Goodison Park, it shouldn't be seen as make or break - we don't have a particularly good record up there lately anyway.
But after two unconvincing displays at White Hart Lane and AVB's verbal rocket still ringing, a lot of supporters will be thinking, "Come on then, show us what you can do away from home."
And it hardly helps that Arsenal are sitting pretty five-points clear at the top when many of us were swept away in the "shift-of-power" talk at the start of the season.
New Toffees boss Roberto Martinez likes his teams to attack, so at least we should not come up against a 6-4-0 wall of defenders.
Even penalties have a habit of deserting us at Everton, although at least now we seem to have a team that's more than capable of taking them!
