Tottenham Hotspur host West Ham United at White Hart Lane on Sunday 6th October 2013 (KO 16:00) in the 7th round of Premier League matches of the 2013-14 season.

Tottenham come into the game in 2nd place in the table on 13 points with West Ham in 16th place on 5 points. This will be the 242nd time the two clubs have met.

The first meeting came in the Thames and Medway League in September 1898 when West Ham were known as Thames Ironworks. That game at Northumberland Park resulted in a 3-0 home win for Spurs. Thames Ironworks won the return fixture 2-1 at the Memorial Grounds in East Ham.

The teams met again in the Southern League the next season with Spurs running out 7-0 winners at Northumberland Park and the return fixture ending in a 0-0 draw at the Memorial Grounds.

The 1900-01 season saw Thames Ironworks become West Ham United and the Hammers and Spurs played each other in both the Southern League and the Western League. By now, Spurs had moved into their new ground at White Hart Lane but it would be another four years before West Ham moved to their current home at Upton Park (or more correctly, the Boleyn Ground). Spurs won three of the four matches played that season against West Ham with the remaining game being drawn.

Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United continued to meet in both Leagues up to season 1907-08, when Spurs switched to the Football League.

The teams didn't play any more competitive matches against each other until after the First World War. During the War, several games were played in the various competitions organised to maintain the morale of the public.

Spurs beat West Ham 3-0 in the first FA Cup match played between the teams in February 1920. To date, the clubs have played against each other together 11 times in the competition with Spurs winning 6 games to West Ham's 3 and 2 drawn games.

The first Football League meetings came in the Second Division in season 1919-20 with West Ham winning 2-1 at Upton Park and Spurs winning 2-0 at White Hart Lane. Spurs regained their top flight status that season, which had been taken away in very contraversial circumstances.

Spurs and West Ham played their first match in the Top Flight of English Football in February 1924 with the Hammers drawing 0-0 at the Lane but winning the return leg at Upton Park 1-0.

The clubs met for another four seasons in Division One from 1924-25 to 1927-28. From 1932-33 until the outbreak of World War Two, the clubs met in the Second Division.

During the Second World War, Spurs and West Ham played 20 games which often featured 'guest players' as many of the club's regular footballers were called away on National Service.

Regular football resumed in season 1946-47 and the teams played four seasons in Division Two before Spurs won the title in 1949-50 and were promoted to Division One, where they won the first of their two League Championships the next season.

West Ham United were themselves promoted to the First Division for the 1959-60 season and they enjoyed a lengthy spell in the Top Flight which lasted until 1978.

West Ham United beat Spurs in the first Football League Cup meeting in 1966 and to date the clubs have met 7 times in the competition with Spurs winning three games, West Ham two games and two games drawn.

Spurs were founder-members of the Premier League in season 1992-93 and have been ever present in the competition. West Ham won promotion to the Premier League for the 1993-94 season and lost to Spurs 3-1 at Upton Park that season. The Hammers beat Spurs 4-1 in the return match at the Lane.

West Ham won the 2010-11 match in September at Upton Park 1-0 with a Frederic Piquionne goal while the game at White Hart Lane in March 2011 finished in a goalless draw. The Hammers were relegated at the end of that season finishing bottom on 33 points.

The match at White Hart Lane in November 2012 resulted in a 3-1 win for Spurs with Jermain Defoe scoring just before half-time and adding a second after 64 minutes after Gareth Bale had put Spurs 2-0 ahead after 58 minutes. The Hamers goal came from on-loan Andy Carroll.

The game at Upton Park in February 2013 was won 3-2 by Spurs. Gareth Bale put Spurs ahead after 13 minutes but an Andy Carroll penalty levelled things up after 25 minutes. Joe Cole put the Hammers ahead after 58 minutes before Gylfi Sigurdsson scored the equaliser after 76 minutes. THe game looked like ending as a draw until Bale scored a second stunning 90th minute goal.

To date, there have been 34 matches played in the Premier League with Spurs winning 17, West Ham winning 10 and 7 matches drawn. The clubs have met in two foreign venues, firstly on tour in the United States in May 1969 where Spurs beat West Ham 2-1 in Baltimore, USA and more recently in the Barclays Asia Trophy in July 2009 in Beijing, China with Spurs winning 1-0.

Overall, Tottenham Hotspur have won 100 games, West Ham United have won 81 games and the remaining 60 games have been drawn.

AVB got this game all wrong.

WTF... crossing when there's a diminutive striker playing?!
FFS ... you don't cross in such situations ... you pass it nice low to the byline.
Where in the world was the crossing when Soldado played?

I mean, almost every single one of us knew that we needed width and to spread the ball.... yet,
AVB waits freakin 65 minutes to make that change.

Oh ... and Eriksen is good but he freakin needs time too.
In the mean time, we already have a wonderful and capable player who can fit that role AND is really gelled in: Holtby!

Plus it feels like that season after season, we always tend to lose right before the international break.

Oh well, we have this boring ass break now ... so things better be fixed up. Plus Soldado isnt called up, so he better start scoring too because he's gonna have a nice long time to get up to speed.

All in all ... shit performance and now we are 6th.
Sometimes you get it right but sometimes you get it wrong ...

:avbshock:

The only position I'm not completely certain of is LB and CM.

Rose/Kaboul being out ... do we still start Naughton against a physical team. Or do we give a chance to Vlad. He was really impressive yesterday, but ... probably a little too early.

The other thing is Dembele. He played a full 90, so I am not so sure that he will start. Well, then again so did Sandro ... so I guess, it is still likely Dembele will start.

Other than that, I am pretty sure AVB will go for...

Kyle-Michael-Jan-Kyle
Jose-Mousa
Andros-Christian-Glyfi
Roberto

Though I personally would have Defoe instead ... cause it's the Spammers!

Really? Kyle? Michael? Christian? That weirds me out man. So Woolwich of you :avbnaa:
 
We looked tired, predictable and apathetic today. For all the talk about how big and strong our team is this season, I lost count of the number of times we got muscled off the ball or lost 50/50 challenges. They were just much more committed and organised.
The system isn't good enough. As I said after the Chelsea game, I don't like the Paulinho/Dembele partnership in CM, our passing is too slow and we are far too open for the counter-attack. And I'm starting to lose patience with the inverted wingers thing too; at least Townsend did go on the outside a few times today but even then he was on his weaker foot and we had Defoe in the box. Naughton offers nothing attacking wise, we desperately miss Rose on that side. Also I have very little confidence in Dawson, I said at the start of the season that he probably shouldn't be the long-term solution and I'm convinced now.

Also I wonder if we should just give up on the Europa League, I don't think we are capable of flying away to places like Russia in midweek and then bounce back to put up a real fight on the weekend.
 
Hello everyone.

I'm the guy who managed to get a stream going on a cross-country flight today (Seattle to Charlotte) and immediately regretted it.

I am a bit surprised by the reaction to today. I admit I'm not as knowledgable as many of you about tactics and the peculiarities of the Premiership, but... to my semi-trained eye it seems a lot of us are overreacting.

In all sports everywhere, sometimes you just have "one of those days." To me this is just one of those circumstances where you forget it immediately and look to the next game. If the trend continues, obviously, it's cause for concern. But at this point to me it seems like we're just looking at one shitty game. The loss to Woolwich was painful but sure beats 5-2 and we acquitted ourselves well. The tie to Chelsea was disappointing but easily could have (should have) been a win. If we were getting beaten like this EVERY time out I'd be really upset, but just one shitty game? I can live with that.

The part I can't really comment on (because I'm just an ignorant overweight American who loves Spurs but is only beginning to appreciate tactics) is whether this was a self-inflicted wound by AVB or whatever. On that point, I feel like if AVB gets the blame for today's failure, he also gets credit for our success up to date.

Take a deep breath, my Spurs-supporting friends! It was one of those days. If we finish in the relegation zone, OK, maybe AVB's not the right guy. Let's see if that happens, though. I'm still optimistic overall.

COYS.
 
You do realise that if you make stupid comments in match threads fans of other clubs take you comments and laugh at you, they give them to all their friends on other message boards, and they laugh too, soon, all the message boards are laughing at you making stupid comments in match threads.
 
Big mistake to play Defoe. Losing confidence in AVB not starting both Soldado and Lamela - what's the fucking problem with them Andre? We'd better get at least 3 goals today or I'm starting an AVB out campaign
 
Defoe has been shit and anonymous. This is why he doesn't start these prem games. I still can't believe that people actually wanted him to start.
