Tottenham Hotspur 4-4 Chelsea

Something that is guaranteed at White Hart Lane is goals, and goals there were last night.

Ashley Cole’s challenge on Alan Hutton was absolutely appalling, he could have broken the Scot’s leg! I still find it hard to believe he only got a yellow card!

Some of defending was again suspect, especially for Chelsea’s first goal. Their second was definitely offside!

I think Paul Robinson could have done better with their third, but I guess he had to spread himself to block the shot.

Tom Huddlestone’s equaliser to make it 3-3 was sweetly struck, but the goal to make it 4-4 by Robbie Keane was just sublime. As can be heard on the video, “Pick that one out!”

It’s a pity Dimitar Berbatov didn’t make it 5-4 on the night to give us the win, but all in all, it was a great game.

Tottenham Hotspur 4-0 West Ham United

Since my last post one or two things have happened - of course, the marvellous League Cup final win over Chelsea stands out! :)

Things haven’t been going so smoothly since picking up the silverware, losses to both Birmingham City and PSV. Obviously the latter defeat in the UEFA Cup was the most important, as now we have to win over in Holland.

I think with our 4-0 thrashing today of West Ham, that should hold us in good stead for the key game against PSV on Wednesday. I’m hoping we can carry the performance over and get the result we so desperately need.

Below are the goals from today’s game. Wonderful headers by Bebatov, and good to see Gilberto having a smile on his face after his disastrous hiccup on Thursday night. Nice too to see Darren Bent get on the score sheet!

Gunter agrees to Spurs move

Chris GunterTottenham Hotspur have sealed the signing of Cardiff City full-back Chris Gunter. The 18-year-old will officially become a Spurs player when the transfer window opens on January 1st.

There’s been nothing official on the fee or contract length, however reports claim the deal could reach up to £3million.

On the move, Chris’ father Gerald said: “Christopher spoke with Gareth Bale, who is very happy at Spurs, and that helped Chris to make up his mind.

“Gareth told Christopher Spurs was a great club.

“Christopher is really determined to make the step up, he has said before that you’re not a real professional footballer until you move away from home.

“It’s a short career and these kind of chances only come around once or twice, he feels it is right to move.”

He added: “As a parent it is really reassuring to see him go to a club who have invested a lot of money and time into young British talent.

“We can look and see that Gareth [Bale] is already there and lots of others too.

“Aaron Lennon, Jermaine Jenas, Danny Rose, Tom Huddlestone, Jamie O’Hara, all these players were signed as teenagers and they’ve been given their chance.

“It makes a big difference, he will be surrounded by good young British players, that doesn’t happen if you sign for someone like, say, Arsenal.

“He should be able to fit in quickly, I believe he’s training for the first time on Christmas Day.

“Obviously his mum is a bit upset he’s moving out and away from home - he’s been with Cardiff since he was eight years old - but we’ll go and watch him every chance we get.”
