The fall of the Roma empire

Final Score: Spurs 5 - 0 Roma

I'm leaving the ground at the moment and everyone around me is absolutely delighted with what we have all witnessed; a Spurs side that is capable of thrashing a Serie A giant!

A brace from both Bentley & Bent and a great team goal finished by Lennon, really capped off a great afternoon for a packed out White Hart Lane.

If this side, masterminded by Ramos & co, can consistently play throughout the season like they did today, then we are a going to thoroughly enjoy this 2008/2009 campaign.
We were simply brilliant, all beit that Roma were not at the races.

The way in which this Spurs side held onto the ball and constantly broke up any play Roma tried to formulate, was simply breath-taking.

Darren Bent needs to be provided with a starting position in my opinion. He has now scored against lower and more prestigious opposition.

Middlesbrough beware!

  1. We need to get off to a flying start this season. I seem to remember us having good pre-season results last year, only for everything to go floppy on the opening day of the premiership.

    Let's hope it doesn't happen again this year.
  2. hopefully this will shut up all the BAE and Bent knockers, only a couple of weeks ago evry twat with an internet connection and supposed love of spurs wrote them both off. Especially pleased with BAE in pre season as i think he never got a good run of games. They had them both listed as players who had to go! lets just hope we continue the good form into the season proper
  3. Class performance start to finish. Love how everyone wants the ball and looks assured in possesion.
  4. Arguably BAE was a long-term injury, so it's nice to see why we bought him in the first place, finally. Envying my brother who got tickets for this game, but none for me until I get a new job! :( Good job Spurs, roll on the new season!
  5. Very nice performance, but fEllow yids, be weary the itallian league does not start for another 3 weeks, we are far more advance in terms of preparation.

    Saying that Ramos is getting us playing free flowing and keeping possession football. A real joy to watch, come on berba You sure you dont wanna be part of the revolution, we now play the kind of football you have been waiting for at the lane for the last 2 years. Gives us till Jan, it promises to be an exciting adventure and the scout master Ramos at the helm, WHO KNOWS? . Come on you spurs top 5 a cup and continue building and gelling 2009 will be the big one COYS
  6. Sick of Spurs fans keep saying top 5.This season it's CL qualification and no less.
    After that we can start thinking about seriously the David Villa's amd Robinho's and start doing some tapping of our own !

    Over the moon on the results but we still need some quality.Arshavin is a must to compliment Berba (I think he is going to no where).
    Bent is too direct and we need a Robbie Keane type sometimes to open up the defense.

    Other than that we have every right to be optimistic.
  7. I hate it when people bang on about how we had a pre-season last summer and royally screwed it up. What they're forgetting is we didn't play Celtic, Borussia Dortmund and Roma last time around, we played Orlando Pirates, Kaizer Chiefs and Torino! Who we narrowly defeated!

    Big difference this time around IMO!
  8. if it's CL you are after who out of Chelsea man Utd liverpool or the Arse will you finish above?
    lets look shall we
    Man Utd - erh no
    Chelsea - miles to strong
    Arsenal - Champion contenders
    Liverpool - now they have Keane
    ha ha you are about to lose 40+ goals and with your defensive record 12th
