Fixture Focus–Spurs (EPL, 4 December 2010)

Birmingham vs Tottenham Hotspur        

What a week we had!  This must be one of the best string of result Spurs have achieved.  And now, we face a toughie at St. Andrews against a Birmingham squad that just dispatched Aston Villa to reach the semi-finals of the Carling Cup.

Birmingham have a good home record with just one defeat in 22 games at home.  And Spurs will be without Rafael van der Vaart, Younes Kaboul, King and Huddlestone.  The good news is that Dawson is back and should get some action this weekend.  I wonder if ‘arry will deploy 2 up front that seem to work so well for us this past week.  It does allow very open and flowing football and the down side is that we become leaky at the back too.

I just feel that the roller coaster ride must come down sometime and a draw for us would be nice away from home.  That said, I am wishing that the lads will surprise everyone and continue the great run of results we have had.

Always exciting when we support the Lilywhites! COYS!!!
