A thoroughly deserved win.

To be honest with y's I thought it was going to be one of those games, especially after the Liverpool, Chelski and Charlton results, and Parkers illness; but it proved to be nowt to worry about.

First goal in the first minute was a well worked with some brilliant passes, great runs and some crafty dummies, finished by a player who was declared man of the match.

Spurs came back at us. Anton Lennon causing all kinds of problems down out right, skinning Carr to provide Robbie Keane with an easy header in. After that it was all one way traffic with Spurs looking like they'd ran out of ideas.

Being a Toon supporter gives you plenty of oppotunity to spot what a shite defence looks like, and todays belonged to The Cockneys. It was incapable of dealing with the simplest of balls. Lee Young-Pyo and Dawson looking really dodgy all game, the later getting sent off for a second bookable.

 

 

Spurs midfield, understandibly, lost faith with it's defence and Robinson, who had a real moo of a game; was a bit hesitant to move forward. Davids did show some glimmers of his class but it wasn't enuff. Lennon had a fairly easy time against Carr, but apart from providing the cross for Keanes, couldn't make his advantage tell. Course their midfield wasn't help by the Toon chanting 'What's the score gay boy?' and 'Y can shove y' mobile phone up your arse at Jenas, who missed a sitter near the end of the game and was pish all game.

 

Apart from the goal, Spurs front two were ineffective. Robbie Keane spent most of the game offside, but he got a good round of applause off the Toon for a bit of gentlemanly conduct. The Egyptian carpet sales man did nowt except whinge at the ref. Tottenham as a whole did not play like a team that was forth in the league. They where a bit kack.

Quick run down of the Toon players...

Given - Another solid performance, tho his blushes where saved by the appalling finishing of Jenas.

Carr - Spurs 12th man. Had a terrible game. Skinned by Lennon for their goal. Couldn't pass, tackle or do anything right. People say he's not match fit, but that can only allow for so much.
Moore - Didn't do much all game, didn't have to really. Tended to make a bit of a meal of it when called into action like. Thankfully Spurs front two where off their game
Ramage - Didn't do much all game, didn't have to really.Tended to make a bit of a meal of it when called into action like. Thankfully Spurs front two where off their game
Elliott - Had a sound game. Stopped everything that Spurs tried to throw down that side, and y couldn't ask for more.

Solano - A fairly quiet game, caused mainly by having to be on hand to tidy up after Carr. His crossing was up to the usual high standard though.
Bowyer - Who needs Scott Parker. Had a great game. Run his heart out from start to to finish. Scored. And made Jena's and David's life hell in the centre of the park. Got the man of the match.
Emre - Another class performance. Hope he doesn't go in the summer cause we'll miss him.
Zogs - Seemed to drift in and out the game, but was there when it counted.

Shearer - Spurs has to start worrying about their defence after this game. Here a bloke who's playing his last season and he ran them ragged. Made Spurs defence look shit. Scored a well taken pen.
Shovel - We started thinking that Fat Freddy had gotten hold of a time machine, went back 20 years and brought back Pele. Had a magic game. Probably the best game I've seen Shov play. It's not a Toon match without being able to have a dig at some thing he'd done, but today the bloke was class. Scored a goal that required a lot of bottle, what with Robinson running out. My man of the match.

Subs.
Clark - Came on for Emre, and showed how poor he was in comparison.
Faye - There's times I get the urge to run on the pitch and give him a slap. He just needs to wake up and take note wots going on round him. He just seemed to be in a daze most the time.
Chops - Came on near the end. Didn't get a chance to do out.
