Fixture Focus - Spurs (8 Dec 2008)



West Ham United FC vs Tottenham Hotspur






Though Spurs are away in this game against West Ham, it is nevertheless considered half a home game, since the 2 clubs are near each other. There is this West Ham - Spurs rivalry going on, though this relationship is overshadowed by a much larger rivalry with the-club-that-must-not-be-named (ArseNAL).

After a win against Watford for one of the final 4 places in the League Cup, Spurs will deserve a rest till the coming Monday fixture against their east London rivals. The Chelsea legend Gianfranco Zola is still trying to establish a regular stream for the Hammers, who were in an up-and-down form recently, though they had held on to a stalemate against Liverpool at Anfield in their last game.

Spurs needed points bad, lest they slip into the bottom 3 again, and the infamous "Christmas Crunch" is coming. A win in this game is crucial and an important step to climb back to mid-table.

COYS!!!!!
