How did Keano play? hopefully better than last week.
Keano was pretty av.. Crouch is still terrible. Just cos he's tall Redknap plays him....
 
Nico Krancjaer was brilliant when he acem on. Always working hard and he has his eyes fixed on the ball like a mad-man. Love it.
 
I was sitting at the end where Huddlestone scored his goal. Very tasty.

Dean Parrett, ex QPR youth that your lot paid 1 or was it 2 Million pounds for. A very very talented player. I think he's about 17 going on 18 now isn't he?
Proud to have attended the first 175 Consecutive "Home" Wellington Phoenix "A League" Games !!

Would be good to see how Modric and Krancjar work together when they are both fit.
 
Tasty? Huddlestone or the goal?

I am getting annoyed with Harry's obsession with playing Keane, there's been a rumour going round that he has an 'undroppable' clause in his contract, which you would think is laughable, but really, he just keeps getting picked no matter how he plays.

We played a 4-4-2 on the weekend, Keane at left wing - how many times does Harry have to keep playing him there before figuring out it doesn;t work. Personally i'd play Jenas and Wilson in the middle with Nico outside him on the left and Bently on the right. Then when Luca and Lennon come back drop Bently and Nico (or move him in one and drop JJ).

I wouldn't start Hudd against the big teams, he's just too slow, but against the lesser teams he gets a little more time on the ball and can spray those passes he's known for.

In saying all that at the moment i'd play Keane and Defoe in attack as that worked well at the start of the season,before all the injuires/suspensions came into play but if Robbie continues to add little then i'd drop him for Crouch.

We played poorly on Saturday we lucky to come away with a 2-0 win, however perhaps it is a sign of progress that we are learning to win ugly, and when you're not at your best.

2012 for build date -> planing application was already submitted in October. You should be able to view a copy at the Haringey council website: http://www.haringey.gov.uk/index/housing_and_planning/planning-mainpage/applications/view_applications.htm
 
They were advertising for early season ticket preferences for the new ground at the game on the weekend.

I'm going to try and put as many extracts from the Planning Application in my posts as I can, so you should see some images that you won't otherwise get in the press.

What the new stadium will look like.
Better sound retainment and fan friendly atomsphere. Better than corporate whoredom of Emirates.

OMG, Leadlegs King is clearly not watching the ball. Some things just can't be changed!

No doubt he'll find his mojo and score against us at some point.

So if Keano is a bit AWOL on the pitch this season is there any chance that dos Santos can make an appearance?

Ahh, Dos Santos, I've got high hopes for that kid. I really hope we keep him on and he comes into form. However, don't be surprised if Spurs get a new striker in during the winter transfer window to replace Paly.
 
Stefan Kie�ling perhaps?

Didn't Gomes get a personal coach last season?  Maybe Spurs could do a Nix and get the Jonathon Gould equivalent to warm the bench

Hardly surprising that is was the Gooner Henry in the middle of the drama in Paris the other night..

He is a product of the ARSEne Wenger school of....'Ahhh, I...I...deed not...seeeee iiiit'

In saying that though there isn't a footballer alive who would've owned up, and anyone it's not up to the player, it's the ref and assistant ref's job to see that.

Glory, glory, Tottenham Hotspur!

Last time we had a score like that was against Blackburn Rovers in the early 80's I think.

And it's Tottenham Hotspur, THFC
We are by far the greatest team the world has ever seen.


Just googled it and it was 9-0 vs Bristol Rovers in 1977.
