Hello once again from me (hehe). Sorry for the lack of postage this week (i feel like a postman in the middle of a strike!!). So it's been a very mixed bag for Spurs this week with a fantastic win midweek in the Carling Cup to take us to the verge of our second consecutive final in the tournament and a gutting last minute loss to Wigan today in the league which after yesterday's results leaves us languishing in the bottom three.
So back to Tuesday and the win over Burnley. I must admit at half-time when we were losing 1-0 I was dreading the second half as we were not playing very well. But the next 45 minutes were incredible as we ran in 4 goals without reply to almodt guarantee our place in the final.
What followed on the Wednesday also raised a smile to not only me but many of my work colleagues as Manchester United fell to a humiliating defeat at the hands of Derby who last season got relegated with the lowest total of points ever in a season. The reason it was so much fun at work was one of the other people who work there took it very personally and was in a foul mood all the following day hehe.
However, today was disappointing as we beat the same team quite comfortably in the Cup last weekend only to get beat by them today and lose ground on the teams around because most of them picked up atleast a point from their games and it leaves us in the bottom three.
The Carling Cup would be good to win because it's a route into European competition next season but i would swap it straight away for definite premiership survival at the end of the year.
To secure this though I think Harry is moving in the right direction with the acquisition of Jermain Defoe albeit for over double what we got for him less than 12 months ago. Also, the news that Stephen Appiah is having a trial with us this week was also good to hear as he would add some much needed grit to our midfield which has certainly been lacking a bit of bite so far this term.
