Fixture Focus - Spurs (24 Feb 10)



Tottenham Hotspur vs Bolton Wanderers FC
(FA Cup 5th Round Replay)





Yes, as many people were saying, if it was not for the missed penalty, we would not have been dealing with extra games outside of the scheduled ones, especially since we are still chasing for the 4th spot. But Spurs always have a knack at a replay.

This time we brought the fight against Bolton Wanderers back to our home turf. Likely starters would be the same as the team against Wigan, minus King. A big question would be which of the 3 strikers (Defoe, Crouch and Pavlyuchenko) would start first, since the Russian had made an impressive entry in the Wigan game.

As for Bolton, Kevin Davies (which I would name him as the official "bogeyman in a Bolton jersey" for Spurs) may be starting, but the Trotters aren't sitting pretty at the league table, and Owen Coyle had already voiced his priority of survival over cup.

And should we beat Bolton, we would be heading to another bogey ground in the 6th round - Craven Cottage, 10 days later.

But we would still march on, bogeyman or bogey ground.

COYS!!!!!
