COYS

Fairly happy with the away point at Upton Park at the weekend despite the missed penalty from former star and current Hammer hate-figure, Jermaine Defoe in the last minute. Juande Ramos’ high pressure game is starting to bear fruit and with Berbatov playing in the hole we looked a good side. Same old fragility at the back, though it was good to see ‘England’s Number One’ having a good game. About time I suppose.

That’s 5 matches unbeaten which sounds fairly impressive - and it is for the Spurs this season - but only one of those games was a Premier victory. This week we play Aalborg from Denmark in the UEFA Cup and a win will see us nicely placed to qualify for the knock-out stage followed by Birmingham on Sunday at home in the league. What price 7 games unbeaten by then?

Come on You Spurs

Football is the drug

Friday, 23 November 07, 04:13 PM

Is it me but I find the international breaks a little bit of a distraction from the real business of league football. I miss my (bi) weekly fix of the mood altering drug that is being a West Ham United fan. The highs and lows produced on the whim of the fates is only good enough until the next time. Analysis of the league tables is the post drug comedown, and the continual staring at the tables, almost with a dream like quality, recalculating the various permutations, "if we hadnt conceded that 93rd minute goal against Bolton we'd be joint ninth with Everton..." leaves me sated but with the nagging thought and need for wanting more. When we lose I just blank out the memory and won't buy the Sunday papers or watch Match of the Day (it's just too painful) but winning gives me a little spring in the step and I go out to embrace the world, happy but with the bothersome awareness that the storm clouds of doubt will reappear next time.
