Final Score: Norwich 1 - 5 Spurs

Spurs totally dominated this match, from start to finish. Darren Bent scored 4 goals, Dos Santos played really well, Modric looks world-class, and Dimitar Berbatov looked like a man that was there in body, but not in spirit as he sat the entire game out.

Tottenham played with a lone striker, and Ramos made sure that the midfield was packed and fully able to support the lone front man.

We received a comment stating that Darren Bent played superbly because it was against Championship opposition. I disagree with that remark. Ramos played the game to Bent's advantage, and this brought the best out of our £16 million man.

Maybe the fact that Bent knows that Keane has left, and Berbatov is on his way, has helped his psychology? He attested to that fact in the post match interview by stating that "now Robbie Keane has left, I hope I can get my chance at the club".

All in all, the reason we were a better team was down to two reasons;

  1. We have better players
  2. We were the fittest I have ever seen any Spurs side.
Finally, we have a manager that fully understands just how important pre-season training is.

COYS!!!

  1. sounds like were better off without keane. an would rather berba went and we get a nice 30mill otherwise he will only just sulk. COYS!!!
  2. Let's flog Berbatov off to the highest bidder and get some players who want to wear the shirt.

    Cant stand the miserable, sulky git any longer.
  3. Thank goodness for this site, it has sensible, honest stories. I'm losing my mind reading crap on tribal and offside and harry hotspur. This is my new number 1 Spurs blog.

    Good to see Bent doing well in a system that suits him, he always played on his own upfront for Charlton and it works well for him.

    Sorry to see Keane go, but 20m for a 28 yr old makes good business sense.
  4. Berbatov looked relaxed and wasn't named in the squad so difficult to agree with your comments or the constant suggestions that he is leaving on Setanta.Impressed with O'Hara and Ekottou.Impressive performance by Spurs against weak opposition.game was set up for single striker but even Ramos must have been pleased with how well Bent responded.Dos Santos quick and clever and looks as if he will start.Modric when match fit will be a new Spurs legend.
  5. Thank you for your kind words Supersubag.
  6. Perspective, please! Keane’s departure at £18 million is excellent business for Tottenham Hotspur. The striker was a member of the team in the worst period in the club’s post-war history (2 trophies in 23 years - both the league cup). Having played in the world cup in 2002, his ego far surpassed his ability, and ensuing tantrums were largely responsible for him keeping Defoe out of the side during our club’s eminently forgettable era.
    ‘Mr. Sitter’ frustrated WHL regulars annually and supported by a midfield including Carrick and Davids, may have been ultimately responsible for failing to achieve champions league status in 2006.
    In 1990, Spurs finished third in the league. I don’t remember singing in the streets. In 1997, Gerry Francis was sacked for Spurs’ 7th-place finish. Yet Jol was a hero for finishing fifth? No more talk of the ‘top four’ – check the respective honours list, we are a superior club to Chelsea. Demand the title from the board, and they will deliver – accep…
  7. I would use berbey to hand the drinks to our none smoking young squad at the end of the match
