Fixture Focus - Spurs (31 Aug 2008)

Chelsea vs Spurs

Can we start over again please? Se-mu-la! (a term we got familiar with during NS when we needed to do things over)

It must be deja vu for Spurs fans again. Last season we also started the season with 2 losses. But a year ago, our 3rd game was a home tie against minnows Derby County and we promptly thrashed them 4-0. Well, Chelsea are not Derby, and we have to play them at fortress Stamford Bridge. We'll be lucky if we are not thrashed 4-0!

Chelsea have not been beaten at home since August 2004, which is a highly impressive record. And with Scolari's men firing on all cylinders especially Deco who has settled nicely into life in the EPL, it is not likely that Spurs will get the honor of breaking this record (although we can cross our fingers and hope for a draw).

This could get ugly and Spurs fans got to sit tight and hold on for another week as Spurs attempts to shore up our attacking needs. However, with all the late transfer activity slated to happen this weekend, I'm wondering if we will get a chance to see Berbatov on the field at the same time as (the almost confirmed signing) Pavlyuchenko?!! THIS would be an interesting strike partnership.

COYS!!!

If Spurs are going to lose this, I will officially drop the claim of us being in the top 4 for this season.
