Upton Park, East London
West Ham Utd. 1 Tottenham Hotspur 0
Our first three points of the season, and a game that saw us move up one position from the bottom of the table. West Ham was magnificent, against a very strong Spurs team that, in its defence, has a few injury problems in its defence, if you excuse the pun. In a moment of lucidity, I suggested that perhaps West Ham fielded a second-string team against Sunderland, and that that might rather have down the manager’s homework for him and became the first-string team, as Victor Obinna and Frédéric Piquionne again started, the latter scoring the only goal with a well-placed header in the 29th minute. Mark Noble played as we knew he could bit have not seen for many months, and in our defence, I believe we have a new star in the guise of Portuguese player Manuel da Costa. A 1-0 lead, though, is always tenuous, so we Hammers fans went through the usual rollercoaster of emotions before the final whistle came to our great relief.
