Tottenham Hotspur Football Club are 90 minutes and change away from a European final. And yet, there are still other matches to play, namely, West Ham United’s London derby™.
West Ham hate Spurs with a passion, and seem to view Spurs as the annoyingly more successful big brother who looks down on them. Which, ya know... we do. Intriguingly though, the way this season has played out doesn’t find the two clubs at opposite ends of the table as is often the case; instead, it’s a rare case of both clubs being a single point apart in 16th and 17th position.
West Ham will therefore really want to win this: bragging rights are all they have to play for. Spurs will want to win this as well, though the motivations will be slightly different: some consistency and form heading into midweek, as well as an opportunity for some players to shake off some rust and stake a claim for the starting XI for said European tie.
Let’s see how this one plays out. I’m sure there’ll be fireworks.
COYS!

Match thread rules
The match thread rules are the same as always. To any visitors coming here for the first time, welcome! We’re glad you’re here! Wipe your feet, mind the gap, and be sure to check out the other pages at this outstanding site. While you’re here, though, we have a few rules and regulations:
Absolutely no links to illegal streams. They’re bad and they get us in trouble. Violators will be warned or banned.
We have rules against “relentless negativity.” Nobody likes a Negative Nancy. Don’t knee-jerk and post outlandish or hurtful things just because you’re frustrated.
Along those lines, outright abuse of players or match officials is also not allowed. It’s fine to say “wow, that was a really bad call,” but it’s NOT okay to direct copious amounts of abuse in the direction of said official over a call you did not like.
Treat other people in the match thread the way you would want someone else to treat your grandmother. Be nice. This is a community of fans, not an un-moderated message board.
NO SPIDERS!
Finally, while we don’t have a rule against profanity, please try and keep the naughty words in check. Also, language that is sexist, racist, transphobic, or homophobic in nature will be swiftly deleted and you will be immediately banned. This is an open, supportive community.
Have fun, and COYS!
