Fixture Focus - Spurs (19 April 2009)


Tottenham Hotspur vs Newcastle United






The Magpies would be coming down to London - once their boogey place, to face ours truly Tottenham Hotspur at the Lane. The Toon Army needed a big boost up along the table to ensure survival, while Spurs also needed more points in order to cement "mathematical chance" of either going back to Europe and/or rid itself from that "relative possibility" of a relegation.

Newcastle would be playing with almost the full squad, with even Martins, who is not really fit, playing in upon the request of the Newcastle venerable Alan Shearer. And Viduka would be back. 

Spurs may see the comeback of Defoe after his long injury spell, plus Palacios from his suspension. However, Jenas and Pavlyuchenko may be doubtful.

This is a game touted to be the "make or break" for Shearer (in fact, for the remaining 5 games after this one). But being professional footballers, and quoting from the Godfather:

"It's not personal, it's strictly business"

COYS!!!!!
