C'mon you Spurs!!!

VERSUS

Spurs will definitely finish fourth in the table, and possibly qualify for the Champions League, if they win their games against Bolton and West Ham.
Spurs have a number of other injury worries as they aim for their highest-ever Premiership finish.
England defender Ledley King is out for the season with a broken foot, midfielder Jermaine Jenas is recovering from a cracked shin and Egypt striker Mido has a damaged knee.
Edgar Davids will also miss Sunday's game against Bolton after being sent off against Arsenal for picking up two yellow cards.
Tottenham are four points ahead of Arsenal in the table, but the Gunners have a game in hand and could overtake their north London rivals should Spurs slip up.
Even if Tottenham do finish fourth in the table they could yet miss out on a place in the Champions League if Arsenal win the competition this season.
So it is even more important to ensure that Spurs win their home game against Bolton wanderers.
Sunday afternoon's match is the 38th League meeting between the two clubs at White Hart Lane.
Of the previous 37 we have won 22, Bolton nine with six drawn matches.
Last season's corresponding fixture - played on October 23, 2004 - saw Bolton win 2-1. Radhi Jaidi gave them an 11th minute lead which Robbie Keane levelled four minutes before the break. Henrik Pedersen scored the 74th minute winner, this within two minutes of coming on as a substitute. The crowd figure was 36,025.
Our last League win here over Bolton was on October 20, 2002 when second half goals from Robbie Keane (2) and Simon Davies secured a 3-1 victory. Youri Djorkaeff scored for the visitors.
Ian Walker - expected to be on the bench for Bolton - was a product of our youth set up who went on to make 303 senior appearances in our colours between 1991 and 2001.
So, c'mon you Spurs!!!
