Slaven Bilic seems pretty indifferent about Tottenham Hotspurs.
The boss is establishing himsef as a legend – saying and doing all the right things on his second Upton Park coming.
He has come out with some of the best one liners about:
O parking the bus with the handbrake on
O likening our away form with walking into a pub full of girls and now
O ensuring his dogs aren’t Spuds!
He barked: “I don’t feel any dislike towards Spurs. No. But they are a London club. It means a lot to the fans because you have all West Ham fans working with Spurs fans.
“It is a good thing when you win because you can’t wait to go to work and tease them or whatever. If you lose, it’s not very pleasant.
“In my apartment, we are all West Ham. I don’t think my dogs are Spurs fans, but I will check it. This morning they looked at me a little bit differently!”
We are of course unbeaten against the North London lot in the last three visits to Tottenham and Slav said: “Spurs know we are a club that can harm them. It would not be the first time. Last year, they got away with a draw.
“It was a great game for West Ham, 2-0 and then 2-2 in the last second. It means more for us, but not just for the Spurs game.
“We are confident now because we know whoever we play, if we are good, we have a chance.”
