Fixture Focus - Spurs (2 Jan 10)


Tottenham Hotspur vs Peterborough United FC
(FA Cup 3rd Round)






Another chance of a silverware for Spurs in their first football game of the new year. The Lilywhites will host Peterborough, who had just promoted to the Coca Cola Championship this season.

A bit on our opponents - Peterborough had proven to be the rising star among the English teams for the past few seasons, gaining back-to-back promotions (2007/2008 - from League Two to League One, and 2008/2009 - from League One to Championship) within 2 years, though now they are languishing at the bottom of that table.

It may look like a walk in the park for Redknapp's boys, but we have to be wary of Championship teams (and ex-ones as well). After all, we were floored by Wolves, Stoke and Hull City these 2 seasons.

Spurs will be without Lennon and Ekotto. Players who had been on the bench for a while (Pavlyuchenko, Keane, Bale, etc.) may be out to shine themselves.

COYS!!!!!
