Fixture Focus - Spurs (11 April 2010)



Tottenham Hotspur vs Portsmouth FC
(FA Cup Semi-Finals)








These two sides had clashed just less than 2 weeks ago, when our boys had won the game like a stroll in the park. However, this time, it would not be Fratton Park nor White Hart Lane, but in Wembley Stadium.

Both sides are suffering from a tremendously long list of injured players, but Pompey seems to be getting the worse end, with Hreidarsson, Webber, Diop and Yebda out. Our on-loan boy O' Hara, though he would very much like to play against us, was to sit out of this game due to administrative reasons.

Some of our boys like Dawson, Huddlestone, Corluka, King and Jenas are trying to get fit for this game, so their appearances would be tentative at best. Also, Kaboul and Walker are cup-tied. Good thing is our striking (s)quad of Gudjohnsen, Defoe, Pavlyuchenko and Crouch are fully fit and ready.

Portsmouth, though beleaguered financially and on the playing field, would be taking this semi-final game very seriously.

And so will us, the traditional cup winners, too.

COYS!!!!!
