I feel rather uncomfortable about the start you have made. Would you care to please return to mid table mediocrity and comic defending asap.

Three for me, and two for them.

how can you be a newcastle AND a tottenham supporter?

Just like feckin Mike Cashley only without the money!!
 
No, its simple really - 4 years in Newcastle, 4 years in Essex as a young un.  Family would be Toon Army by choice (brother is a Geordie by birthright).  My first Div 1 game was at WHL, Spurs vs Man City (score was 2-3 to those dirty, cheating Mancs) and watched a few  invitation spurs games for charridy.
 
Moved back to NZ and have almost forgotten what football was like until we"discovered" the nix and YF last year.
 
So IF I had to choose I'm Yiddo first and foremost, but a closet Geordie wannabe.  But in reality when they play each other I don't mind the result (even if there's a lot riding on it for one team) as long as they don't end up injuring each other.

Cheers! 

Well, that was how things panned out for me.  We've got fond memories of both places and as a fan you take the good with the bad and recently with the bad, the bad and the more bad. 
 
So I'm enjoying these few weeks in August and hoping they extend in Sept., Oct...

Unless your team is a lower league team.

Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.

Boateng To Portsmouth
And O'Hara to Portsmouth on Loan


The O'Hara one is interesting isn't it? Loan him out 'til Christmas, by which time fixture pile up and possibilities of inquries in the middle of the park could see O'Hara walking straight in to first team contention.

I have a huge amount of time for O'Hara. HarryHotspur2009-08-29 20:20:18

Both Boateng and Chimbonda were loaned out last season so can see why they have been transferred to other clubs.
 
O'Hara loan looks quite a canny move, unless injuries come a bit too early.  Good move I think.  He's only 22 but needs games to develop.

Skin of the teeth win overnight - I thought only Manure won games in 90 + 5. Junior's prophetic call about injuries a bit of a worry vis-a-vis Modric calf injury.

Great to see Crouchy score his first PL goal for Spurs an Lennon is in danger of beating his goal scoring record before Christmas if he carries on.

COYS!

Absolutely stoked with that boys, well done. We really had to get max points from that game which will give us confidence heading into our games against the Mancs and Chelsea. Lennon is looking very dangerous this year.

Actually it was the only decent thing he did, and even he would have struggled not to make that pass. I used to think we should keep him, but i reckon now is the time to cash in, get around 10m quid for him, and use it elsewhere.

He had about 3 or 4 horrible other touches where he reminded me of a baby giraffe taking its first steps.

How old is Leggy?  Is he 12 or 72?

This is not nice reading (for spurs fans, it was nice for me);
 

"They did not provide a timescale for how long Modric would be out of action.

Defender Ledley King was also forced out of Saturday's match with a groin strain.

Spurs are already without the services of centre-backs Michael Dawson and Jonathan Woodgate with Achilles and groin injuries respectively.

After the upcoming international break, Spurs face a home game against champions Manchester United and a trip to Chelsea"

Luka expecting at least 6 weeks out of action.
 
My golden weather spell lasted for three weeks.  Moving into spring I see some windy, turbulent times ahead with occasional settled patches.
 
Outlook for Sept...you're guess is as good as mine (otherwise fine-ish)

I'm backing Jenas to make a miraculous return to the squad and score an edge of the box equaliser against Man Utd late in stoppage time.

It's a big blow with Luka out for 6 weeks but don't be suprised to see Keane play in that position and Crouch partner Defoe up front.  Jenas is very close to returning and Giovanni Dos Santos is in the picture much more this season.  Bale is injured which would be a natural replacement and with O'Hara on loan means we can't afford anymore injures.

Ohh. Thats Ryan's old nickname, isn't it.

I wasn't clicking on the fact that Chimbonda had moved to the Rovers because he was sort of part of the Tottenham furniture.

I really don't think it will hasten his return tbh. He's too valuable to let go on his leadership alone. In fact, he would great for the Spurs lineup, if he decides to go away from Rovers (unlikely - but a guy can dream, tho). But somehow I think that maybe Chimbonda is slowing down a bit.

I'm nervous about the next two games against Man U at home and especially Chelsea away. Really nail biting moments ahead I see.

Yep - these will be "benchmark /acid test" games.  But, injuries aside it's probably the best time to try it on. The team is on a roll, they've shown that they can foot it with the supposed havies (pyul at least). 
 
And if the dream start falter in the next few weeks, they've got plenty of the season to make up for it.
 
After last season you've got to be happy with things (Luka aside).
