It’s a London Derby, but not the one we LIKE.
After a string of high-profile tests, Tottenham Hotspur have passed them all with flying colors. Maybe that’s why we’re all concerned about a stupid let down today at Selhurst Park in another London derby. The Roy Hodgson Palace are certainly better than the Alan Pardew Palace, but they’re still underperforming where they probably should be in the table.
Meanwhile, Rochdale blip notwithstanding, Spurs are flying in 2018: undefeated, full of confidence, fresh off of a huge Champions League draw against Juventus, four points out of third. A perfect time to derp away some points in a stupid match against a team that some thought might be relegated, right?
I don’t know if I really believe that, but this is a match that makes my Spursy lizard hind brain stretch its legs and make mewling noises. Spurs really do need the three points to continue to put the pressure on Liverpool, United, and Chelsea in the hunt for Champions League next season. I think they can do it. They certainly should.
COYS.
