Internationals and Injury Worries

in Injuries, Internationals

Sebastien Bassong is our latest injury worry after limping out of Cameroon’s meeting with Gabon in the 24th minute. It’s not yet known how serious the injury is, but the defender is set to miss the return encounter with Gabon on Wednesday.

Bassong has impressed since arriving at the club from Newcastle, and we could certainly do without losing another central defender before our meeting with United at the weekend. If Bassong is to miss the Man U game, there is a possibility we’d only have Corluka left as a (semi-) recognised centre back. Corluka and Huddlestone against United? Hmm…

On the plus side, Corluka was sent off during Croatia’s 1-0 win over Belarus and will miss the meeting with England on Wednesday. At least he should be fit after only playing 29 minutes before seeing red!

With King, Woodgate, and Dawson all set to miss the match at the weekend, we could really do with Bassong being fit. Time to cross our fingers, not only for that but for all our other Internationals set to play on Wednesday. No more injuries, please…

Yesterday was certainly a tougher task than the 5-1 demolition of Hull midweek. It was made harder when the impressive looking Carlton Cole opened the scoring for the Hammers with a 22-yard spectacular after the break. Just 5 minutes later though, he turned from hero to villain (or villain to hero for us Spurs fans!) when his awful attempted backpass served as the perfect throughball for Defoe to equalise.

I only caught some of the match, but from what I did see Spurs were confident and controlled – but not necessarily in control. West Ham were not easy to [click to continue reading…]

Tottenham Will Finish In The Top Four

August 21, 2009

Tottenham will finish in the top four – according to Hull boss Phil Brown that is.
From a neutral’s point of view you have probably seen a team in the top four this season, no doubt.
We didn’t apply ourselves from minute one or get close enough to Tottenham to keep ourselves in the game.
I thought there [...]
