EPL 26/12/2007 - Tottenham Vs Fulham

A tale of two teams - one on the up, and the other heading straight down to the Championship (and good riddance, no doubt). Tottenham have actually started to build a fine run under new manager Ramos and looked increasingly solid before slumping to arch-rivals Arsenal (but only because it's a derby - they are no match for their North London neighbours). The team faces another dreadful Fulham team today, but shorn of numerous key players, a potential banana skin presents itself.

I have nothing much to say about Fulham except that the sooner they disappear from the EPL, the better. Too many teams like them make up the EPL - boring, unimaginative, scrappy soccer that ridicule the incredibly high ticket prices that fans have to pay. Maybe if Jimmy Bullard was not injured their season might have turned around, but Bullard's another slightly above average midfielder whose strength is... yes, you guessed it, tough tackling and pressing. God knows how many more of those we really need in the EPL.

Another case of many players missing, and both teams might struggle to find any rhythm. It could go either way, but I see Spurs beating Fulham easily.
