Posted on 20 November 2016.

It’s never easy to find something positive to say on what was ultimately a disappointing day but I have to say that Tottenham were very lucky yesterday although we contributed to our own downfall.

Leroy: Someone will pay for Spurs defeat JOSE!
Posted on 20 November 2016.
Don’t be down…don’t be depressed – hard though that maybe because yesterday West Ham produced the best performance I have seen from them in the Premier League this season and that of course includes the win at Palace.

How we rated the Irons against Spurs
Posted on 19 November 2016.
ClaretandHugh’s Niall McDonald rates the Irons Randolph: Didn’t have a shot to save in the first half. Pulled off a miraculous save from Dier at 1-1, will wish he’d not got a hand to the cross that led to their second 7 Kouyate: Clattered into the technical area by Janssen then suffered a nasty clash of […]
