‘Am I dreaming?’ – Some Spurs fans react as Mourinho delivers ‘good news’ ahead of Hammers game
Tottenham Hotspur host West Ham United tomorrow and will look to secure much-needed victory following Friday’s stalemate with Manchester United.

Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho has been handed a massive boost ahead of the clash, with all his attacking options available for selection after Lucas Moura attained full fitness after sitting out of the last game. “We have only good news, Lucas is back from injury, Dele Alli is back from punishment and no injuries coming from the game against United so we didn’t lose any players and we have two extra players that make ou...

‘Why’s this clown my manager’ – Some Hammers fans fuming at what Moyes told SkySports
West Ham United returned to Premier League action with a 2-0 loss at the hands of Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday, and the defeat dealt a blow on their survival chances.

They face Chelsea afterwards and will travel to Manchester United for the penultimate game of the Premier League. Nevertheless, West Ham have a realistic chance of surviving relegation as they have crucial six-pointers against Norwich City, Watford and Aston Villa on the last day of the campaign, and manager David Moyes doesn’t rule out the battle going down to the wire. “I’ve always felt it was going to be tight, I always thought it migh...
