spooky in match report

"Bit like having a wank. Got a result but utterly unsatisfying" - Forza Huddlestone.

The above is a text message I got at the final whistle of yesterdays away win in the FA Cup that sees us going out of the next round away to Manchester United.

No Robinson at all last night (his wife gave birth). Berbatov is ill. King was rested. Team had Cerny in goal again with a back four of Chimbonda, Dawson, Kaboul and debut boy Gunter. TT, Jenas, Prince and Steed in midfield and Keane and Defoe upfront. Keane notched up his 99th goal in Spurs colours in a game where we were pretty much comfortable for all of it (par a few decent patches of pressing from the home side). Should have come away with another goal or two. But who cares. Clean sheet, away win. At least we get to play Utd.
