Fixture Focus - Spurs (1 Dec 2013)

Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United

Emerging victorious from the very northern reaches of Europe, Spurs will be meeting the red half of Manchester at the lane this coming Sunday.

Putting aside the debacle caused by the blue half of Manchester, AVB will be assembling his strongest squad yet to redeem himself. Paulinho, Defoe and Walker are rested from the midweek game, and are likely to feature on the team sheet.

Moyes may assemble the same team back from their trouncing of Bayer Leverkusen midweek, but also there is indication he might tweak his squad a bit to face us.

We have slipped to 9th in the table, but good news is only 2 points separated us from the top 4. Given the media's expectation of AVB, whether for good or worse, this is a must win.

COYS!

Weekend Review - 30 Nov 2013

Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United

5-0 demolition against Bayer Leverkusen and progress through to the next round with one game to spare. It is also the biggest win since Moyes take over. Now we are seeing the team to gel.

AVB need to endure a very tough week with both Manchester clubs to play with a dead rubber Europa League game to play for. If the fixture is earlier in the season, all the Spurs fans would have salivating at the prospect of doing another upset.

Man Utd is on 11 games winning run, and hopefully the run continues. The match is a level handicap. Take Man Utd for the win and get into the top 4.

Fixture Focus - Spurs (28 Nov 2013)

Tromsø Idrettslag vs Tottenham Hotspur 

(Europa League Group Stage, 5th Round)

Let us forget about the humiliating defeat last weekend and focus on this coming weekend against the other half of Manchester. But alas, we have an Europa game to go through. A rubber game, I would say, for our boys are considered safe and sound going into the Round of 32, and our Norwegian opponent (remember, the Norwegian league runs from March to November instead of the usual August-to-May calendar) found themselves out of the Europa League as well as the Tippeligaen (Norwegian Premier League) with a relegation. Only pride plays a part here, with Spurs looking to cure some bruised egos (and the rare moment of playing north of the Arctic Circle) and Tromsø relishing the moments of top-flight football.

In case you may have noticed a difference in my writing style, yes, I am still hurt by that 6-0 scoreline.

COYS!

Midweek Review - 26 Nov 2013

Bayer Leverkusen v Manchester United

One of my friend commented in Facebook, "Whenever Fellaini plays, Man Utd will either draw or lose.." hmm.. 

Anyway, the last match against Cardiff is 2 points lost instead of 1 point gained. We could have go into Top 4 for the first time this season.

We will also going into 10 games run which includes Champions League and Capital One Cup, from Dec 1 to Jan 1. That is 1 game every 3 days. We will face Tottenham at the start and at the end of the run, the irony.

With 2 games left in the Champions League and Man Utd have 8 points. They just need 2 more points to qualify for the next round. Both games end in draw?

Man Utd is eating 0.25 handicap. Take Man Utd and win half on the handicap as the last 2 away European games have all end in draw.

Weekend Review - 23 Nov 2013

Cardiff City v Manchester United

International break is over and we are full steam ahead for domestic competition and European action. We will get to see the grouping of the World Cup on Dec 6, and we cant wait for it.

We will head south in Wales to visit Cardiff. A difficult place to go as it is the place where they slaughter Man City. But Man Utd will do better since the slow start to the season.

Man Utd is giving 0.75 handicap. Take Man Utd for the win and climb up the table.

Fixture Focus–Spurs (EPL, 23 November 2013)

Manchester City vs Tottenham Hotspur

A draw would be like a win.

Manchester City are very strong at home and have dispatched opponents with ease in the Premier League. This would be a very tough fixture for us to win. They’ll be without their captain and key centre half, Vincent Kompany. Kompany is a rock at the back for both club and country, and will be a big miss for the Civilians. They’ll likely start with a combination of Martin Demichelis and Matija Nastasic. This will come of a great advantage to us, as we look to expect a weaker Manchester City defence.

Spurs have not found a way to crack open defenses from open play. What is going for us is that our away form has been better compared to our performances at home. No surprises that we will look to keep possession and strike on the counter. We’ll be without Christian Eriksen and AVB will have a difficult decision on who to play in the number 10 role. Lewis Holtby could take up the role and would seem as likely as anybody else to fill the void.

Erik Lamela could potentially feature in the middle of a dynamic three behind our main striker, but could be a bit of a risk for such a crucial match. There has been talk that Adebayor could feature today playing off Soldado but I don’t think it will happen from the start.

Like I said in the beginning, 1 point from this fixture would be considered a good result for us.

Prediction League

There wont be any prediction league games this weekend due to international friendlies and World Cup playoff finals.

Results - EPL Prediction 09 - 10 Nov 2013

We were so close to getting our first Perfect 10 over the weekend as cool402 was just 1 villa goal shy.

Congrats also to KingMeng (who closed the leader's gap to just 4 points) and Everton for being the other 2 6-pointers of the weekend.

Well done!

Fixture Focus–Spurs (EPL, 10 Nov 2013)

Tottenham Hotspur vs Newcastle United

 

Will we be able to crack open defenses from open play? This is the paramount question all Spurs fans have at the moment.

I expect this to be a tight affair as Newcastle will be buoyed by the result against Chelsea recently. Spurs do keep it tight at the back and while we do well with possession play, we can’t seem to finish in the final third. I want to see quicker passes and do hope that the likes of Eriksen and Lamela will be given an opportunity to play fluid football. Sandro is out but it is nice that Capoue is almost back to full fitness.

I do think we have enough quality to get a slender win today.

Weekend Review - 10 Nov 2013

Manchester United vs Arsenal

A disappointing draw in Spain where Man Utd still need to win another game in the Champions League to progress to the knockout round. With Bayer Leverkusen and Shaktek Donetsk to play, i guess Man Utd just like to play hard to qualify instead of qualifying at the easiest attempt.

Another game at stake where Arsenal visit us in reversal fortunes. We are now at 8th while Arsenal is top at the moment. If we win, we will climb up the table. If lose, another sad day for Man Utd.

Man Utd is giving 0.25 handicap. No punt for this game.

Fixture Focus - Spurs (7 Nov 2013)

Tottenham Hotspur vs FC Sheriff Tiraspol

(Europa League Group Stage)

Just one more win and we proceed to the next stage of the Europa League.

AVB came under fire for Lloris' continued stay on the pitch after taking a knock on his head during the Everton game, but for this round he would be spared from criticism as the Frenchman will not helm the goal at the Lane (due to the usual cup-league-game rotation policy). With the Toon game looming over the weekend (and knowing what they did to Chelsea), AVB would keep his trump cards tight for that game rather than the Thursday one.

The Moldovan champion is coming to this game without any injury woes, so basically we may be facing the same team that gave us a few goalmouth scares back at Moldova late last month.

Midweek Review - 5 Nov 2013

Real Sociedad vs Manchester United

An easy 3 points gain over another struggling side in Fulham and Moyes take out players early for this midweek tie against Real Sociedad.

We are 3 points away for a place in the knockout round, and I think Man Utd is able to do it. And with one eye on the weekend fixture against Arsenal, Man Utd might want to get the job done as early as possible.

Man Utd is giving 0.25 handicap. Take Man Utd for the win.

Fixture Focus - Spurs (3 Nov 2013)

Everton FC vs Tottenham Hotspur

A tough away fixture awaits us on Sunday as Spurs will be travelling up north to Goodison Park facing an on-form Everton.

With double victories against Hull over the past week, albeit hard fought ones, some work still need to be done if we are to go for the top 4. In my opinion, though we are having one of the best defensive records in the league, we should improve more on our scoring department.

The Toffees are coming into this game with 5 wins out of the last 6 games. Martinez had stewarded the team well with minimal resources and they looked more of a top 4 challenger this season.

A mouth watering match, I must say.

COYS!

Weekend Review - 2 Nov 2013

Fulham vs Manchester United

Oh, so Moyes finally found his strongest 11 and secure the biggest win against Norwich in the Capital One Cup during midweek. But to me is the second team as there is no Van Persie, Rooney. Well, a win is a win and will see who is the next opponent in the quarter final.

We will go to Craven Cottage to play against struggling Fulham. But our away record this season is 2 wins and 2 losses. Hope it improve after the slow and disappointing start in the season.

Man Utd is giving 1 ball. Take Man Utd for the win.
