We host West Ham at Wembley in the pick of the Carabao Cup fourth round ties.

I know this match is about a month away and probably too early to get up the apatite to go into the in's and outs of a ducks arse, but, hey-ho, I am feeling confident. Spurs have only been defeated once this season (even though Chelsea wasn't the better side, but a win is a win and a lucky bastard is a lucky bastard!), so let us keep it at just once.

After getting through our game against Burnley we now face West Ham, at home, in the Cup match. We are also facing the Spammers this Saturday, 12.30 KO. Both matches will be important for both clubs. We also face them again - third time - in the league on December 30th (at home). Maybe fourth time lucky and we meet them in FA Cup sometime next year, or maybe even a cup final. We've never met them in a Final (we've only met four London Clubs in a final of any competition: Chelsea (three times) and QPR). 

West Ham is currently 17th in the league and haven't had a very good start, but don't let that fool you. As with Swansea, who are currently 14th, they won't be any pushover. West Ham, last least, was the last team to beat us on our attempt to challenge for the Title. This time around we want revenge and a good result. I can't see West Ham parking their bus in front of their own goal. They need a win as much as we do, so it should be a good challenging match.

I am hoping that Bristol City also get through to the next round and we play them away. As I know somebody who is a season ticket holder at City and I can get a lift. Let us hope that Swansea, Norwich, Everton and Wolves can come up trumps (no, not him... as in a good win over their opponents in the cup). As for the fixtures I've missed out, let the best team win. We'll face anybody, preferably at home (that is Wembley).
