Fixture Focus - Spurs (19 May 2013)

Tottenham Hotspur vs Sunderland AFC

The last game of the season. At this stage, we had known who are the league champions, and we knew who are the ones going to the Championship next season. It all seems that the games for today are rubber ties.

Except for the 2 teams in North London. Champions League or Europa League, it is now up to us, and the opponent of our neighbours later this evening, to decide.

AVB will definitely pull no punches for this game. Expect a full squad blazing their guns away. Nothing more.

Sunderland, now safe from relegation, would take this game as an opportunity to "spoil the party". Rose is not available due to being loan-tied. Striker Sessegnon, who is returning from suspension, is likely to start.

Ironically, Arsenal's opponent this evening is Newcastle, Sunderland's rivals in the northeast. An unlikely scenario would be a form of an indirect Tyne-Wear derby, playing to see which of them decided the Europa League spot for the opponent, and I hope it is not us!

COYS!!!!!
