Challenge Spurs™ - Breaking the jinx
Friday, November 14, 2008 at 6:50PM Game 05 v (A) Fulham
Total points: 12
Position: 16th
I think we've managed to win just once in 7 or so Prem visits to Craven Cottage. It's a bit of a jinxy place for us, which has seen us either drop points in the last minute or simply get out played from the off. I'm sure Fulham will get at us, and swing the corners and crosses in hoping for some Gomes flapping to help them get their noses in front. I think this game is going to be a test for us, playing a team that is quite obviously not within a light year of Arsenal or Liverpool. Our rejuvenated lot have to turn up for these games too. Considering the amount of points lost to the lickle clubs, I'd say 3 points tomorrow is vital. Don't want to be sitting bottom again by quarter to five.
The squad for tomorrow?
Tottenham: Gomes, Cesar, Hutton, Bale, Gunter, Dawson, Woodgate, Corluka, O'Hara, Zokora, Bentley, Huddlestone, Jenas, Gilberto, Modric, Bostock, Dervite, Lennon, Bent, Campbell, Pavlyuchenko, Stalteri, Rocha, Taarabt, Boateng, Ghaly, Assou-Ekotto.
OH NOES! Ekotto is back. Don't think we'll see too many changes from our last Prem game up at Eastlands. Modric, Bentley, Bent and co all return. King should partner Woodgate.
As for Fulham, they have enough in the way of irritating players that tend to do ok against us. Zamora, Johnson, Murphy etc. And Bullard puts himself about, so all eyes on our centre-midfield. Its the type of team (Hull, Stoke, Wigan) that we've struggled against. I know it's all pre-'arry, but our winning run can't go on forever. I thought City away was the banana skin. Will Fulham break our hearts again?
Prediction: 2-1 Spurs

2-3 Spurs. Bent to score again.
Will be tough today and not too surprising if we lost. We are due a dip in luck and form and Fulham always manage to get in amongst us and cause a headache or three.
I'm sweating on this one.
Bale starts.
Dear God no, WHY? WHY DID YOU DO IT HARRY?
Fulham 1-0 Tottenham
The curse has struck.
Over and out.
How unsurprising of us. Sounds like we played poorly. Really hoped we could see an improvement on these type of away days, look at how we did at City.
Players tired? Or is this the loss we can do with to shake them up a bit and remind them theres a long way to go.
2 home games up next. Max points PLEASE.
