Teddy returns.

Teddy Sheringham will be warmly welcomed back to White Hart Lane, probably the for the last time as a player, as Spurs entertain the east London wannabes West Ham. However, I thought that two or three years ago and he keeps on going so you never know.

West Ham comes to Spurs looking in quite good shape. When they were promoted I expected a real struggle for them but they have had an excellent start considering the players they have available. With the exception of Sheringham, Zamaora, Reo-Coker, Matthew, “Oops my cross is in the stand again” Etherington and Thomas Repka (for his comical defending that got them relegated in the first place) no one has heard of anyone else which shows just how far West Ham dropped before coming back up.

Spurs will start with Robinson in goal, Lee, Stalteri, King and Dawson across the back four, Lennon, Carrick, Jenas and Davids across the middle with Defoe and Mido up front.

Spurs took only two points from the last three games. Looking at the opposition we faced it is a point improvement over last season but we really should have taken probably 5, beating the scum and taking a point from Bolton so it is important we get back on into winning ways. The league is very tight still and any dodgy results, against the teams who have come up especially, will see us slip towards mid table, again.

Spurs should be looking to win every game between now and the New Year. It’s a tough ask but you need to beat the crap and that is what we face in our next sequence of games taking us into 2006. West Ham will be looking forward to this game as they have seemed to have taken a dislike to the mighty Spurs but I can only see one result tomorrow and that is a Spurs win. While West Ham sold the crown jewels of English football to pay for an over ambitious stadium-building plan Spurs have invested wisely (mainly on the very West Ham players they had to flog) and quality should show through. With only Chelsea and the Scum scoring at WHL and the ‘Ammers on a four match away losing streak it really should be three points tomorrow.

COYS!
