Fixture Focus - Spurs (29 Apr 2012)


Tottenham Hotspur vs Blackburn Rovers


With the entry of Chelsea into the Champions League final, all of a sudden, the coveted 4th place in the EPL may not be that valuable at all. The gyst of it is, should Chelsea lift the Champions League trophy, regardless of where they will end up in the EPL, only the top 3 teams will progress to this prestigious competition, whereas 4th would be relegated to the Europa League. And to make matters worse, whoever is in 4th will have to pray hard as the Champions League final would be played 1 week after the end of the EPL season.

Back to the Lane, Spurs, among the teams that are fighting for the 3rd / 4th spot, will have the easiest run-in to the end of the season. Trouble is, teams which are deemed easy (Norwich and QPR in our recent 2 games) is, in reality, proved to be our headaches. Next up will be Blackburn Rovers, who would be fighting tooth and nail to stay alive in the EPL, and may take advantage of our downturn.

I would not be focusing on the team lineup for both sides this time round. My only comment is to wish ourselves the best of luck.

COYS!!!!!
