Twente quid on Spurs to win
Wednesday, September 29, 2010 at 5:09PM Hola.
You'll have to excuse me today. Had no pre-written blog posts from the night before scheduled to go live this afternoon, due to other commitments. Mostly sleep. So no mentalist battle cry or in-depth over the top unnecessary formation chit chat, mainly because it's all been done to death already. And let's be fair, if our players fail to turn up tonight, may God have mercy on all the knees within White Hart Lane. And not forgetting the broadband pipes that will explode with bandwidth misery as fans across the country and the world punch-type their keyboards with despairing post-match anger.
But they won't, will they, not with Huddlestone rallying the troops post-game.
SHudder.
It's a mid-week game. It's an evening kick-off. It's Europe. It's got all the necessary ingredients for a Glory Glory night with that added spice of being the first ever Champions League group game in N17.
As long as that other all important ingredient gets added to flavour it all up nicely, we should be a-ok.
So, over to the 11 Lilywhites and the chef. Stir it up. I want to feast and feel bloated with happiness. And not left starved, ending the night with a migraine.
It's in your hands, THFC.
P.S. Got something lined-up for future match-days and events. Embedded updates. Sexy. Something for all you peeps that like to interact when watching dodgy internet streams and read my minute-by-minute match updates. Slicker than just updating blog articles like I did here. There's about a 5% chance of testing it during tonight's game. Depends if I get a spare second before going out.

Bout time our season started properly!

1-0 Spurs, probably scored around 72 minutes by....wait the mists are clearing.....Defoe?
So much for Twente Twente vision.(Got that off the Liverpool echo)
I can tell that you're not that confident Spooky.
You concentrate on the 'embedded updates' and let the boys take the strain.
The Lane'll be rocking tonight. Been raining most of the afternoon in N London - let's play the ball on the deck and avoid the Crouchie hoof, please.
KerrrrrrrrmonUspurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrs!!!
COYS!! Lets go at 'em with everything! and TWICE THE CROUCHIE HOOF!!! lol
COYS
Potentially an historic night for Spurs. A loss tonight will mean 3 defeats in 8 days in 3 different competitions.
Impressive!
Tonights line up:
Gomes
Hutton, King, Bassong, Assou-Ekotto
Van der Vaart, Huddlestone, Modric, Bale
Crouch, Pavlyuchenko
I am happy enough with it although Pav will have to up his game a lot.
I am sure many will slate it if we lose but it makes your judgment look more impressive if you say it before the kick off.
So anyone want to slate the startig line up ?
Terence lightens the mood.
Terry, dude, you're harshing my mellow...
...Pregame, hope keeps springing up for a truly madly deeply Tottenham display. I'm with BigFish. COYS!!!
Yes..i want to slate it. drop 2mp to the bench go with Pav up front VDV just behind and Lennon for more width on the Right. If Lennon does not impose his game on Twente in the first half sub him for Crouch at that time or if not 2mp use kranc.With Crouch starting you know its going to be all high balls from ditance.
COME ON YOU SPURRSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.
Sorry lost a key....Distance!
Still feeling the optimism, COYS
No minute-by-minute, spooky?
I'll do it for u! Bear with me guys!
Oooof! Thank god Gomez is back
That was a let off for twente. Good job VDV
Better performance, still overdoing the hoofs up to Crouch.
Thud should be off me thinks
Hudd is struggling. Hate to say it but this game is made for the energy bursts of JJ.
Brook in 3..2..1...
Yes Author, here I am
it's game on now! Twente is back baby!
Yes here you are. You don't reappear at 2-0, you wait in the shadows like the spinless cock you are until its safe to reappear again. Just fuck off.
Superpav!
Come on you Spurs !
Red card !!!!! VdV
Not sure what got into VdV all of a sudden.
Saying that, I'd already said to the mrs after his yellow that he'd end up getting sent off.
Have we ever had 3 penalties in one game?! We're lucky to get that in a whole season.
Refs have been on our side tonight. Think Huddlestone was very lucky to stay on the pitch after that elbow.
Was that a straight red to VdV? I thought it was a second yellow?
Second yellow.
Was 2nd yellow, so I think he just misses the game at the San Siro.
Hudd definitely a lucky boy....
And Bale has just topped the night off very nicely!!!
Now that was a lovely goal. Bale! Bale! Bale! Bale! Bale! Bale! Bale!
See ya Brook
I thought Hutton looked quite useful tonight. Once he and BAE got their signals straight, seemed to work fairly well together.
And gotta love the ice cold fred astaire routine from Tommy at the death!
Happy with that. Two class goals to go with the penalties and a comfortable goal difference to go forward with.
Is that our season up and running, Top of the group I believe:-)
Not quite top, but it's looking bright.
WE ARE AS GOOD AS INTER! WE'RE JUST AS GOOD AS INTER!
New song for the stands - LOL
I loved that last goal from Bale. You make a mistake and bang!! we're scoring! - that's the kind of team we need to be. COYS!!!!
good game , bit harsh on the dutch guys with the penaltys (third one was a joke) , still a 4-1 win with 10 men and after a good performance... i am a happy yid
Ready for your post match summary now Brook.
Great game from Pav, his best in a long time for us. Held the ball up well when he was up there on his own.
Bring on Inter!!
Hey spuds! I'm happy for your result. That's historic night for you and hope u do well the rest of the competition.
Well done Harry and the players for a great night and result.
Probably be a quiet night on the message boards as more posters turn up when we lose.
Any Irish yids on here watchin the post highlights punditry on RTE?
What useless cunts they are
Pav had a woeful game until he took his second peno and we went down to 10 men, it seemed to breath new life into him, up to that point he was dog poo. Was it me or was it as soon as we went down to 10 we looked more comfortable?!?! odd, never mind though, great result, shame vdV won't be able to play vs inter but at least its the away game first, plus it give those players who got us into the CL to have a go at the sort of team they were dreaming of when they were fighting so hard last season. I still think we'll give a good account of ourselves, hopefully our defensive injuries will have cleared up a bit by then and we'll have a bit of a stronger back line. Hutton still looks really dodgy defensively I must say, worrying for future games, he looks a bit clueless when he gets forward on his own too (dare I say a bit like walcott lol). Hopefully kaboul will be fit for inter to play RB, he is much more solid there than any other option we have.
COYS!
Oh and watch the press tomorrow reduce our win to "pure luck". Just a prediction.
What they saying Tom?
Yes I was watching RTE post match. It was obvious that Dunphy and Giles hadn't bothered to follow the highlights. Giles had to ask was vdv booked before. Then they start to show highlights of valancia v some crap boring team by mistake. At least Liam Brady was paying attention and paid us a lovely compliment about the whl atmosphere and the fact that the fans deserved a return to the european glory nights. RTE will never show spurs.
Let's hope we turn up on Saturday, no euro hangover, grind a result if needed
nice one brook.
and cheers to all of you knee-jerking mentalists!
here's to hoping we get some momentum going with this win!
