West Ham v Spurs 8 p.m.

everdead.ie

So it's an important game for Spurs a win could take them above Chelsea and more inportantly keep a 4 point gap between Spurs and Arsenal ahead of the North London Derby.

That said Spurs have an atrocious record away to Sam Allardyce teams.

I'm expecting a draw to go level with Chelsea.

Come on the Hammers!

vicwatson

Hope there is respect around the ground tonight. Especially as it was the 20th anniversary of Bobby Moore's death yesterday.

Minutes applause at the start.

United have issued a statement as follows -

"In a joint statement West Ham United Joint Chairmen David Sullivan and David Gold said: "We both feel it is hugely important that we are continuing our great work from 2012 that highlights discrimination in society today. We supported a number of key initiatives last year which we are continuing to build on throughout 2013.

"We firmly believe that West Ham United is a club that promotes fairness and inclusion and we want the Boleyn Ground to continue to be a place that people from all backgrounds feel welcome.

"We have made it very clear that we will not tolerate any form of discriminatory behaviour and one by one we will root out those fans that do not deserve to represent this great club of ours. We must be clear that we will pursue the harshest sanctions against any individual who goes against what we stand for as a club.

"It is obvious that the vast, vast majority of Hammers fans support the club in the right way and we are very grateful for the tremendous backing we receive from our supporters. However, in the rare case that supporters do see or hear anything they think is unacceptable, there are a number of ways they can report the matter.

"Two of the easiest ways are to speak to their nearest steward at the stadium or use the Boleyn Ground's anonymous fan phone number - 07860 404 069 - where all calls will be treated in the strictest of confidence.

"Everyone at West Ham United is looking forward to Monday's visit of Tottenham Hotspur. It should be a fantastic game of football, a wonderful opportunity to remember Bobby Moore - the greatest player to don the famous claret and blue - and a chance to show the world what being a Hammers fan is all about - supporting with pride, passion and respect."

Spurs to win.

West Ham somehow have accumulated their present points total. Don't see them adding many more to that figure between now and May.

Why the concern? Didn't realise there was any history between West Ham and Spurs

How did you work that one out?

You telling me that we can't get any points from Stoke, WBA, Reading, Southampton, Wigan, Everton, Newcastle, even Liverpool ?

That's quite a ridiculous statement to make if you don't mind me sayin'

There was some anti-Semitic chanting from West Ham fans(Small section) at the game at WHL so there is some concern Spurs away fans are going to be taking the piss out of this which of course will mean more anti-Semitic chanting in return etc....

Well pardon me for not being an expert in London football clubs and asking a genuine question.

Sorry, I thought you were joking about. There has been a long standing dislike of each other between the two clubs at fan level and board room level.

Alfred Borden

Score draw, Bale impressive again.

Surprisingly still tickets on Sale for the game what are they going to do when they have a 60,000 seater stadium?

Agreed. I foresee a big problem with that. Owners seem to have done the Maths though

Hammer Archer

Hopefully we can pull out a performance given the day that's in it but I'm not expecting much to be honest. We can never seem to raise our game for Spurs.
I'm predicting an easy 2-0 win for Spurs. Bale will probably get at least one.

bad2dabone

Really up for west ham tonight to soften up the spuds ahead of the north London derby on Sunday. Come on west ham!

Nah educated guess hieght at the back and holtby has been great so far.

Rekop dog

Lol at this Bobby Moore rubbish from West Ham, club treated him like a piece of **** when he needed them most.

Blatter

Tenner on Dawson man of the match @ 25/1. Can see this being a scrappy game and apparently Dawson tends to do well against Andy Carroll when playing him.

Didn't know about that, what did they do?

Liam O

Bale would be a great player if he had a right foot.

Will I Amnt

I don't think I'll ever be able to look at Andy Carroll again without thinking £35m.

GLaDOS

Lol West ham

Will I Amnt

Super finish. The lad is just lethal around that area.

Suppose he's alright anyway Have a tenner on him and Spurs so it's all good.

Luap

Wow.

Professional Griefer

Fine finish, have Bale to score and Spurs to win.

Finish 1-3 now please.

homerjay2005

West Ham fans singing "he looks like a chimp" as he turned to shoot....what a way to shut the f*ckers up!

delighted for him, no player should be subject to that sort of rubbish and its the best way to silence the crowd.

AdamD

Serves them right for starting Carroll ahead of the shockin Morrocan



Jesus christ I really didn't think he would score that

Johner

What a stupid tackle by Parker.

GLaDOS

Thought that was a good tackle until about the 3rd replay

Well put away by Andy

Will I Amnt

Definite pen and well dispatched.

Annnnnnnnnnnnndy....mr prime minister

There is no shame playing second fiddle to the legendary Andy Carroll.

Yea, it was a good call from Webb, thought he got the ball the first 2 replays :pac:

homerjay2005

one of those ones where he got the ball first, but then took the man out. could easily have not been given but at least Webb is consistent, he has given a few like that before which just proves the "got the ball" theory is not really relevent in certain cases.

Spurs look awfully shaky at the back.

Leiva

Modern day football needs more Scott Parkers.

He gets lumped, bumped and kicked about but never goes down unless there is no chance of staying in his feet.

Great to see.

He didn't get the ball at all.

He got the ball with his other foot.

Dafuq? Bale is a great player.

I was disappointed to hear hammers fans booing Scott Parker, I thought he was super player and you can't blame someone for wanting to play in the Premier league when they've international ambitions.

GLaDOS

That's an unforgivable miss

Will I Amnt

Got to score that. Jussi in good form tonight.

Mr Whirly

Great game.

Will I Amnt

Great take and finish, criminal to let him in there though.

missingtime

Great goal.
