Premier League
Wembley Stadium
Another potential banana skin out of the way, as a windy, rainy trip to Wales brought back another 3 points.
Not the finest display of the season so far, but far from the worst, especially in those conditions.
Less than 48 hours after the end of that match and we're at home to West Ham.
Quite a ridiculous situation, especially as it's because of a stupid attempt to play it on New Year's Eve.
Both managers will be struggling with their team selections for this one, I think.
Our visitors had a rather poor start to the season, as Slaven Bilic struggled to get performances from his squad.
Starting the campaign with three away games and losing them all probably didn't help.
Poor fitness and a lack of application were often what cost them most, though.
11 games was enough for the board, as they only mustered two wins, and a big loss to Liverpool saw him sacked.
His replacement was more familiar with the blue half of Merseyside and his announcement was met with mixed feelings.
David Moyes had built a decent reputation during his decade at Everton, but now it was tainted.
Attempting to follow up Ferguson's success at Man Utd was always going to be a big ask.
Subsequent failure at Real Sociedad and relegation with Sunderland were less understandable.
One point from his first four games did little to settle West Ham nerves.
A win and a clean sheet against Chelsea followed by a goalless draw with Arsenal surprised a lot of people.
Seven points from the next four games have given the fans renewed optimism.
Coasting through matches is no longer acceptable and the defence looks far more organised.
The shadow of relegation still looms though, as the side's still only a point away from the drop zone.
The game at White Hart Lane last season was full of drama, ending in explosive fashion.
Michail Antonio gave the visitors a first half lead from a poorly defended corner.
Harry Winks leveled things up after the break, but Manuel Lanzini restored the lead from the spot.
The game looked like it might run away from us, until Harry Kane made it 2-2 with a minute to go.
Son won a penalty in injury time, which Kane dispatched, leaving just enough time for Reid to get sent off:

Our trip to the Olympic stadium earlier in the campaign ended with the same scoreline, but not in the same manner.
Kane's first half double was followed by Eriksen's strike on the hour and a rout looked likely.
Sloppy defending allowed Hernandez to pull one back quickly and it was followed by a red card for Aurier.
An unlikely point looked possible for the hosts, as Kouyate made it 3-2 with a few minutes left.
The ten men left did enough to see the game out though, taking a deserved 3 points:

Toby Alderweireld is still out and he's joined by both Moussa Dembele and Danny Rose.
Fonte, Sakho, Antonio, Fernandes and Byram are out for West Ham, while Cresswell faces a late test.
Neither side has any suspensions.
Lineups for each side's last league game:
Spurs: Lloris; Trippier, Sanchez, Vertonghen, Davies; Dier; Lamela, Eriksen, Alli, Son; Llorente.
Subs: Vorm, Aurier, Walker-Peters, Wanyama, Sissoko, Winks, Kane.
League form: WWLWWW.
West Ham: Adrian; Reid, Ogbonna, Cresswell; Zabaleta, Kouyate, Obiang, Masuaku; Arnautovic, Lanzini; Carroll.
Subs: Hart, Rice, Noble, Quina, Haksabanovic, Ayew, Hernandez.
League form: WDWLDW.
Referee: Mike Dean.
TV: Sky Sports.
Rotation's inevitable, but how much should we make and where?
Who needs to start, who needs to be benched and who needs to be left out completely?
Do we need to change anything strategically from what we've been doing in the last few games?

.Really hope we smash them tonight in their cup final. Just hope rcl has enough time to put his spell on the hammers before he gets too rat arsed on his birthday. COYS
