what a week of results! have been away but managed to keep up to date with win after win.
oh how i love you harry.Your mere posting presence is inflammatory to a THFC fan such as myself, hence my comment. What ever you post is a projection of yourself presumably?
NB I could never agree that Arsenal are the most underachieving club...those 19 yr olds are clearly overachievers.

Been trying to make that point for ages. We each have our own thread, let's stick to them...
GOMES must go, both goals were his fault - he is rubbish...
The Woolwich Wanderers (ARSEnal) lost again, The Nix won, Spurs won, the Kiwis won, the Breakers won, and the AB's won - other than the dreadful effort at the Gabba i don't think it gets much better than this...
Pissed off that Hutton has such a long lay off with his foot though.
Bring on Everton.
Yay!
We had heaps of chances, although they had probably the best one of the match but Gomes (bless him) bought off two quality saves in a row.
On the balance of the game i thought 2-0 was a fair result.
Modric went in and out of the game, played really well in the 2nd half, Zokora was pretty non-existant, Bently and Lennon both had good moments.
King was immense as usual and scored the first with his head. O'Hara scored a screamer from about 20m out, top right hand corner with about 5 mins to go.
COYS
DR: that comment on Zakora is pretty much my feeling, although there were 2 or 3 surging runs from deep. Despite this I can see why he starts ahead of Huddlestone for away games for the balance of the team, although at home I would rather see the big man in there.
I guess he played ok, but we really need to buy a decent player for that position.
Here's the player ratings from the Mail (UK)
TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR (4-4-1-1):
Gomes 7; Corluka 6, Woodgate 7, King 7, Assou-Ekotto 6; Bentley 6
(O�Hara 81), Zokora 5, Jenas 6, Lennon 6; Modric 5; Pavlyuchenko 5
(Bent 54, 6).
I'm sure Harry would start with Tom at home and Zokora away
A mix of Zokora and Huddelstone would be a decent player, but you;re right both do have their limitations. I like Tom, but the modern game doesn't really have a position for him, he's basically a midfielder who likes to sit back and spray passes, and do none of the defensive responsibilities that come with that spot.
Kind of like a Hoddle who plays further back
Man Ure next, and Rooney has 5 yellows, so is suspended...nice although Tevez is a reasonable replacement!

Ramos not good enough for spurs, but good enough for real madrid it would seem!
really enjoyed the replay last night, reflecting on it i think corluka or zokora was my man of the match, king was solid as ever and really changes the whole dynamic of the team but he wasn't exactly tested on many occassions. corluka has great positional sense and while he wasnt tested much either he just looks like a truly classy player. the mail's rating of zokora as a 5 was rough! thought he broke up plenty of attacks, sure he doesnt offer much on attack but at this stage thats not the issue. the hudd vs zok debate is interesting, hudd definitelky the better passer but zokora surely the better defender. good to have them both playing better than they were though so can't really complain too much.
mancs this weekend, can't wait! flatmate and father both filthy supporters so should we win ill be loving it!
