Gomes likely to miss a few weeks at least...

SuprSi

Oh I'm really looking forward to this one. If we can keep the same momentum going as in the last two games, we should be able to get another away win. I'd love to be going into our next home game with 2 away wins under our belts.

Still, West Ham will definitely be tougher than Hull so I'd still be happy enough with a draw and 4 points from 2 away games.

i think we will do alright against the spammers,defoe on fire ,keanes running is good modric,lennon,palacious,what more can i say,defence even with ledley out is still strong,heshould be right for sunday after missing last night lets hope.will be aharder game no doubt,but 3 from 3 would be sweet . coys

I think if we where to do them the media trian rumbling into the station would be great. They where even half smiling spurs foir the league on MOTD last night.

Not to rain on the parade but this could be a good tough one. Hull were poor opposition. Hunt's free kick went untouched to the net - not good. If they turn the Spammers over - it will be a much better result!

Here's to pints on Sunday enjoying the feeling of sitting on top of the table!! To Arthur!!!:D:D;)

I have no doubt's that West Ham will be a much tougher opposition than Hull.

Regardless of how West Ham are performing in the League, it's the one game where their fans are always up for the match. It's like their main derby game of the season and it generally filters through to their players.

We are a much better side than West Ham IMO, so the lads just have to keep their cool and maintain the standards we showed against Liverpool and Hull, which should result in another 3 points for the Spurs.

King unfortunate to hit the bar there.

Gamesnash.ie: Pat

Half time 0-0 Cudicini not playing too badly.

opeldave

0-0 half time

Parker is lucky to still be on the pitch after couple of "tasty" challenges:mad:

Roll on 2nd half & another Defoe hattrick;)

Please;)

Seillejet

West Ham arent a bad side. Bassong is real quality he has fitted in very well. Lennon's end product hasnt been great. Good game for a neutral though.

everdead.ie

Counter attacks have been slow compared to how fast they should be need to move before they get time to get back

good man carlton

opeldave

1-1 good man Defoe;)

mink_man

do goalkeepers in fantasy lose points for conceding?

Gamesnash.ie: Pat

@mink - depends on the game provider some do some don't.

What a save by Cudicini though !!

opeldave

1-2 come on Lennon:D

Seillejet

4mins added time

its over spurs have not won 3 opening games since 1960;)


well deserved win:cool:

ziedth

Get in there!!!!!!!!

therecklessone

King was imperious today, Defoe and Lennon took their goals well.

Thought Keane and Modric were quiet, but the Bingo Club did a lot of closing down so there wasn't much space.

everdead.ie

delighted with the win don't know if we deserved it but i won't complain great result great start

ziedth

I would have taken this start last week

tippspur

good stuff,love beating the hammers

StillRickyVilla

Typical London derby, no space and West Ham spent the game trying to nullify our attack. Still, we kept trying to play our football & to win it was amazing!!

Seillejet

Distracted by Cork vs Tyrone.

Great result and performance. Cant argue with Harry's substitutions but I thought Crouch made some silly choices with us 2-1 up. Defoe was class, hence Faubert (a good baller) losing it. Wilson is fantastic. I will be pissed if OT comes calling but after the gypo going and sour taste cant see it happen.

Agree with other poster about Luka and Bob being quiet. Will be still playing us down though, when talking to non spurs fans Another 30 points we be safe and all that.

A United fan said to me last week you did us a favour by beating the poo. He was astonished by my reaction that we did ourselves a favour. Tart!

They will certainly be looking enviously at our central midfield. I would def take Wilson & Hudd over Giggs & Fletcher anyday! For that matter I would rather have Defoe/Keane/Crouch/Pav over Berb/Rooney/Owen!

We just need to grow some balls, believe in ourselves & compete

keane=cock

super win.

dont think the performance was all that great but its to be expected in a london derby against west ham, who arent a bad side and i think they will take points off a lot of teams at upton park.


agree that keane and modric were not there usually influencing selves but even tom hud passing at times wasnt great(not like carlton coles defence splitter;))

cudicini did well again i feel.

all in all a win is a win and its another 3 pts.

BERBA

Brum to come next sat. 4 from 4 before utd come to the lane...bring em on!

COYS

ziedth

iv'e seen nothing from Brum that worries me too much. Jesus if we could win that you'd never know what could happen at the lane against united.

I for one would actually have been content with 4 points at this stage and 7 going in against united. Its a funny old game.

yeah big tom was a bit lazy and sloppy with his passing yesterday.

birmingham up next and only hope the players are focused on that rather than united.

wonder will the international break mess things up a bit for us.
