Fixture Focus - Spurs (1 Apr 2012)

Tottenham Hotspur vs Swansea City AFC

From now till the end of the season, Spurs theoretically have the easiest home stretch as we had played both home and away games with the current top 6 clubs in the table. And we have to take advantage of it.

Back at the Lane again after the midweek FA Cup fixture, Spurs will play host to the Welsh side Swansea. A full squad is expected, much like the lineup against Bolton, with probably just a couple of changes. King may be replaced and the possibility of a Lennon comeback.

Swansea will be fielding their usual squad, with the exception of Caulker as he is our loanee. Dyer, Sinclair and Graham would be leading the charge for the Swans.

A 3-pointer is a must for us in order to take back the 3rd spot, ahead of our gunning neighbours.

Fixture Focus–Spurs (FA Cup, 28 March 2012)

Tottenham Hotspur vs Bolton Wanderers

Both teams go into this game with emotional hearts knowing what had happened the last time they played against each other.  Thankfully, Fabrice Muamba continues to make progress and we continue to pray and wish him a speedy recovery. Spurs are also doing better, having broken out of their slump on Saturday with a key point at Stamford Bridge and Bolton beat Blackburn to move out of the drop zone.

The FA Cup is a winnable tournament for us and the winners tonight will meet Chelsea at Wembley for the semi-finals.  I expect the first team to go all out for the victory.  I just hope ‘arry returns to a formation that sees players creating havoc in their preferred positions.  Bale should play on the left.  PERIOD!

COYS!!!

Results - Game 24 - 25 Mar 2012 EPL Prediction League 2011/2012

Congrats to necroastr to be the first to cross the 100-point milestone!

Congrats also to Arrenn for notching one on the Marksmen Board.

Congrats to necroastr, Arrenn and myself for being the only 3 6-pointers of the weekend.

Yay!

p.s. There was a double-entry submission by ihawk98 and under the rules, the later submission shall override the earlier. That brings us to the next issue, the later submission for the WBA-Newcastle game was "TBA".

My interpretation is that "TBA" technically is not a submission and therefore the former prediction of "1-2" stands.

A reminder to all to double-check your predictions. Thanks.

Midweek Review - 26 March 2012

Manchester United vs Fulham

With a game in hand, we are now level with Man City on 70 points after they failed to win against Stoke. So we can pull away from Man City to 3 points if we win against Fulham, with 8 games to go.

Now mind games has began with both clubs taking a dig at each other. Tevez is back, providing an assist to win the Chelsea game.

Even the relegation battle is also heating up with Blackburn and Bolton out of the bottom 3. Now the last 3 are Wolves, Wigan and QPR. Will Wigan staged another escape again? Will QPR able to cope financial if they are in Championship next season?

Man Utd have a full squad to face except Vidic and Owen.

Man Utd is giving 1.75 handicap. The handicap kind of high, i dont think i will take it, but Man Utd for the win and go 3 points clear.

Fixture Focus - Spurs (24 Mar 2012)

Chelsea FC vs Tottenham Hotspur

A London derby, a 6-pointer game, and the last tough fixture (supposedly) in our league calendar.

Spurs will be travelling a short distance to the western part of London to face Chelsea, a team that is shaking off the after-effects of AVB's dismissal. After a poor run in the league and a life-and-death event in the FA Cup, the Lilywhites really need to focus on this game. With nothing new in the injury news, Spurs will likely field the same team that faced Stoke City over the midweek.

As for Chelsea, their next aim would be to climb back to the top 4, at our expense. Terry may lead the team against us, with Romeu returning to fitness as well.

With Arsenal gaining 12 points and us losing 10 during the past 3 weeks, we do not want to see ourselves back at 5th at the end of this season.

It is now or never.

Fixture Focus–Spurs (EPL, 22 March 2012)

Tottenham Hotspur vs Stoke City

The pursuit for a Top 4 league position continues at the Lane as we host the Trotters tonight.

This match is really hard to call after the unfortunate incident over the weekend. Many players will undoubtedly still be praying for and thinking of Fabrice Muamba as they take to the field. The question is whether our boys are mentally ready to play. After 3 league defeats, we are looking vulnerable and need to pick up points to maintain our gap over Arsenal. Lennon is still unavailable and Adebayor is a doubt as well. The midfield will probably see van Der Vaart out right and Modric in the middle. Defoe and Saha should be starting upfront as a 4-4-2 formation is likely at home.

Stoke are never an easy team to overcome and there are always the ex-Spurs old boys to worry about. Long throws into the box will be a concern as we look vulnerable to set pieces in the past few matches.

I just hope that the consummate professionals will be focused and understand that positive and lively football from us will help us do well tonight. This season could be special for all the right reasons.

Congrats to Everton for being the only 6-pointer this weekend and a leap to 4th spot.

Pole leader is just a mere point away from the century and I look forward to see how many people can breast the 100-point tape this coming weekend.

Gambatte!
