Fixture Focus - Spurs (25 Aug 2011)


Tottenham Hotspur vs Heart of Midlothian
(UEFA Europa League Playoff Stage, 2nd Leg)










This game marked the first on our home soil, and with a 5-away-goal advantage, this game is Spurs' to lose.

Our boys were back from Manchester with a horrendous defeat to the red half, and we will be facing their blue half this coming Sunday. With that in mind, this return leg of the Europa League game will see more of our youngsters in action rather than the regulars, such as Kane, Carroll and Townsend. Modric, with his minor injury and possible transfer, may start in this, too.

Hearts would have nothing to play for but pride in this game. It is one of their rare visits to a stadium on English soil. My take is they will exit out of this European competition in a burst of fire and concentrate on their league back in Scotland.

Onward we march. C'mon you Spurs!!!!!
