Well, I'm just back from Wembley, feeling totally gutted though also pleased that the Mclaren era (or should that be error) looks like it will be over when I wake up in the morning. My first England game at the new Wembley and have to say the atmosphere was fantastic, specially pre-match and when we got the equaliser. I've also got to say I'm fairly pleased Rob Green was not thrown in for such a match, even though I do think he should be England's number one, to give a full competitive debut to someone in a game of such importance was madness, even if it meant Paul Robinson was in goal.
Which nicely leads me on to Sunday's game, where I am hoping we will stick quite a few past Mr Robinson and his band of merry men. Were we playing Spurs a few weeks ago, this would have 3 points written over it, unfortunately, they seem to be finding a little bit of rhythm under Ramos and I expect they are on something of an upward curve now. That's not to say we won't be, our last game was sticking 5 past Derby so we have every right to fancy ourselves for this one, which as a North Londoner growing up with a lot of Spurs mates, means more to me than any other fixture this season.
So, where will it go? It will be frenetic, passionate, probably swing back and forth like last year, but I am fancying a 2-1 win here. Injury wise we've had Parker and Ashton get through a reserve match as well as Mullins and Noble back in full training, whilst hoping no one is rushed, these players could all have a part to play. Assuming they are fit, here is my team of choice - Green, McCartney (again assuming and praying fitness) Upson, Gabbidon, Neil, Etherington, Noble, Parker, Solano, Asthon, Cole. LBM, Mullins, Spector, Camara and Egg on the bench. And for those of you who are wondering who Egg is, you've not noticed the likeness between Richard Wright and Egg from This Life?! Man for man that team beats Spurs every day of the week, so let's do it Hammers.
Coral will give you 8-1 for 2-1, I also fancy Matty to get a goal so add that to your list as well. If you fancy a punt click the image below, where you can take advantage of a £10 free bet as well.

I agree with the result but not the team selection. McCartney, Gabs,Upson, Neil, Etherington,mullins,noble/parker,solano,ljunjberg with cole upfront on his own. Second half switch to the 4-4-2 taking tired ljungberg of for ashton. :-)

You forgot to mention Collins who is a superb defender who helped keep out the Gernmans with Gabbs. Also Zamora should be in very soon.

I think that is going to be a very tough match for west ham. Since Ramos came to Spurs the playing better and better. I think West ham will take no more han one point from this match.
