cant find a linkie thingy but the Indie had Bentaleb down as the 'newcomer' of the year, Not a terrible shout, he's certainly gone from yet another 'strange' decision by sherwood to almost an essential part of the team, big leap for a 19 year old

It was never a strange decision was it? Just a manager bringing a player up from the lower ranks that few people had heard of.

More a case of a manger who used to be in charge of the youth doing the job he's highly paid to do and making whats turned out to be a very good decision.

How they have him down as a newcomer when he paid regularly for half of last season is weird but a talent he definitely is.

yeaH by lots it was questioned,the rich's Sherwood had at his disposal and yet he picked a spidery yoof !!!!! and they we're talkin new year old year achievements, 'newcomer' as in making his debut and making a place his own, carmine,in 2014. actually if u want to split hairs he made his debut on the 20th December 2013, But either way He's gonna be a miss when he 'off's' to the africa cup in jan. we ant really had anyone since Parker that does his job well.

Yes agree the best since Parker and i forgot he'll be off to Africa. Not good news at all.

I hope Sherwood gets a job soon. I don't think he ever stood a chance of retaining his job at Spurs with Levy having different ideas but the fact is he did enough to warrant another job and once some of the naiveities are ironed out might well turn out to be a very good manager.

[smokie36]

Sherwood lost the plot a bit towards the end but I guess he will learn from it.

He certainly did a decent job with the youngsters.

Bit more subtlety yes but Fazio is the sort of guy our timid generous defense needs!

Few would also deny Costa deserves the occasional punch to verb his own pitch antics.

Come on lads. If you're going to win, win fair. By the way, I think your pessimism is a bit misplaced. I expect a very tough game tonight.

I strongly fancied Chelsea to win by at least 2 goals, until I saw the past records of meetings. Chelsea have only beaten Spurs, at Spurs once in the last 8 league meetings!!!!

[smokie36]

This time the gap between the two sides has grown....but you never know in football.

What pessimism OG ?

Taking into account our current injury situation this is an intersting extract from a blog written in May about Poch

The Southampton players have relatively few muscle injury problems which is something our side suffer from a lot. Pochettino does work on glueteal muscles before every training session, players have a prevention program they follow. If he can reduce the number of muscle injuries we get, Lennon seems to have three a season, Dembele is another, then our squad won't be so stretched all the time.

Something to thank Poch for perhaps !

[rijit]

Berahino, no absolute info, but our name, next to Liverpool is continually being linked with him, Aint seen that much of him, but what i've seen, i've got to say he is one,if not THE the quickest over 10 ish yards, i've seen in an 'age', and seems to know how to finish , creating the chances hasn't been an issue for us , arguably finishing them has, , but as per, the question is will he be able to take the step up, thoughts guys?

[sotsira]

Teams for todays match:

Tottenham: Lloris, Walker, Fazio, Vertonghen, Rose; Bentaleb, Mason; Chadli, Eriksen, Townsend; Kane

Chelsea: Courtois; Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry, Azpilicueta; Matic, Fabregas; Willian, Oscar, Hazard; Diego Costa

Good to see Walker in there, not to sure about Rose and Townsend though.

whoops sori guys missed alfie's earlier post.

un frigging believable!!!!!!!!

4 -1 to the tottenham

[mrbojangles]

Get in there Spurs. Loverley

[salty]

Terrific entertainment. Who would have thought Chelsea scoring 3 goals would concede 5? Terry and Cahill run ragged by Harry Kane. Surely an England call up on the cards.

[jellydog]

Well done Spurs !!!!

I didn't see the game. Any glimpses of Levy cracking a smile ?

[sotsira]

One of the biggest factors in todays win for me was that Chelsea scored first and we

still went on to score 5 goals against them.

Before the match i was thinking that we needed to score the first goal today to have any chance

of getting anything out of this match.

Credit to the way the Tottenham players went about their game, especially Kane and Chadli

and not too far behind them Bentaleb and Ericksen.

Lets hope they can kick on from this performance in to the second half of the season! COYS!

Yep the chavs central defense could handle harry this evening

'as for england

2 questions need answering

1/ wellbeck or kane ?

2/ Is there a better c/f in European football this season? If there is I aint seen him .

[smokie36]

Well I'm glad to see I was totally wrong about Kane....another Bale for me.

Just happy I'm not the chief scout.

A great win last night....and three points totally unexpected.
