Match Threads West Ham vs Spurs - Match Thread (EFL Cup)

[GutBucket]

I expect KWP and Aurier to be better than Davies and Trippier (even if KWP plays at LB), Sissoko looked solid against City and he should do better against West Ham. Son, Eriksen/Dele and Llorente should be enough to score a goal or two. I hope Skipp gets some minutes.

Really hope Skipp starts tonight, him and Winks would be a fun CM to watch.

Both of them a feisty fuckers.

West ham's likely side anyone?

I honestly don't give a flying nutsack about West bleedin' 'am.

4-4-fookin-2 and chuck Sissoko in CM with instructions to reduce Noble at any opportunity.

Fuck this game.

Noble got a red at the weekend so I think he's out of this one.

Bah!

I don't think we should underestimate what this game means for West Ham.

It's not just a London derby.

It's not just a chance for revenge 10 days ago.

But, as the BBC noted in its search for 'match facts' that they could meaningfully deploy, a West Ham victory tonight will represent the FIRST TIME IN THEIR HISTORY that West Ham have reached the League Cup quarter-finals for a third consecutive season.

THREE quarter finals. In THREE years. One after the other. In what is the SECOND BEST domestic cup. And, yeah they lost both, but one of them was BY ONLY ONE GOAL TO NIL.

Truly, this is a club of the ages, a tour de force as never seen before, a team to rival Brazil circa 1970.

This would be a truly majestic, historic achievement by them and we will have to be on our mettle to defeat this most valiant foe.

Let battle commence

it'll be unfortunate when they lose tonight then...
Winning when it wrecks an oppositions success is always sweet.

Where is @riggi ? I think he’s the only person that hates West Ham more than I do!

The same @riggi I saw a mate saw strutting around Dukes in 2007 singing, "I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles" whilst twirling his cocktail umbrella?

Is this on sky or BT?

Being jeered by an office that is 90% hammers fans isnt nice.

You work in an eel factory?

 

[fluffybunnyuk]

No. Doing a job in an east london institution where the staff are proud of their local team. I guess tonights going to be a treat for them. They get to watch a proper football team. Looking around the office its clear they dont have both oars in the water...
Gonna force group policy on the server to roll out spurs screensavers before i leave.

 

[dtxspurs]

Saw on twitter that KWP, Foyth and Gazzaniga are all going to start.

Fuck this game.

I couldn't disagree more.
Winning this cup should be one of our big priorities for the season.
