Fixture Focus - Spurs (17 Oct 2009)



Portsmouth FC vs Tottenham Hotspur







After the international break, Spurs will be travelling down south to the beleaguered Pompeys who have just won 1 game since the beginning of the season.

And it is also a game between the "was's" and the "is's". Harry came from there, and so was one of our midfielders (Krancjar), and so were 2 of our strikers (Defoe and Crouch). And in Portsmouth, ex-Spurs players Boateng, Kaboul, Brown and O'Hara (OK, my mistake, the last guy is on-loan, so technically he's still one of us) are there. A reunion match, perhaps?

Portsmouth would want to start, and desperately, their winning engine. For us, we may be seeing the return of Woodgate, and stalwarts King and Dawson, so we are fully manned in the defence. Other than that, our other lineup would be much the same, depending on who Harry wants to field. Modric is still out, though.

This is a game Spurs must win in order to continue to rub elbows and shoulders with the big boys in the EPL (wait a minute, we are already big, but not "tall" enough in the table to rub elbows and shoulders).

COYS!!!!!
