    How refreshing.....

    ....to have a referee who tells players to get off the pitch rather than the interminable stoppages for 'fake' injuries. Take a bow Senor Lahoz. I hope some of our prima donna referees were watching.

    The Book of Ezekiel

    1. And it came to pass that Buzi, of the house of Joshua, was exiled by Nebuchadnezzar II, from Judah. And the word of the Lord came to Buzi and told him to venture to the Roman fort of Mamucium in the north western province of Britannia. Whilst dwelling in the land of Britannia, a son was...

    Lies, damned lies and statistics*

    So what does one do on a cold wet Good Friday (what's Good about it?)? With all the recent posts about the need to rest Palacios, I got to think about the points we have dropped this season, at home, against lower table opposition when we have rested players (generally Defoe or Crouch). I...

    Spurs v Prague Ratings

    Not a very good performance tonight against modest opposition. Let's hope they are saving themselves for Sunday. No coincidence that the best performances were from those who were playing for a place in our final line-up (Robbo, Tainio, Huddlestone and Zokora). Robbo 7 - No chance with goal...

    Robbo the cheerleader...
