Spurs vs Fulham 
The loss to Newcastle last weekend has added more stress to Redknapp's holiday season. Spurs are now just 1 point outside of the relegation zone and wins against Fulham and at West Brom on Sunday are vital in our effort to move towards mid-table safety. Quite frankly, we showed the lack of depth in our side at St James Park. With injuries to key personnel, the team lacked the bite and concentration to hold off the barcodes and succumb to another last minute goal.
We lost at Craven Cottage 2 - 1 in November and Fulham must fancy their chances at the Lane given their current form. We will have our hands full containing ex-Spurs Bobby Zamora, and midfield maestro Jimmy Bullard. Ex-Spurs players tend to return to haunt us and the added presence of Simon Davies, Danny Murphy and Paul Konchesky could be banana-skins as well, causing us to slip up. The thing to note though is that Fulham's away form is nothing like their home form, having not won away this season.
Spurs hopes to have Bent back from illness but it should be "bean pole Pav" and Bentley to start in front. Woody and King are facing fitness tests and we really need them back to marshal the leaky defence. I hope that Modric continues his goal scoring form and terrorize the Fulham defence this Friday with his nippy runs. It's Christmas and Spurs must take the gift before us of all 3 points.
COYS!!!
