Scapegoat time. Gilberto for giving away the goal in the first leg, robbo for not saving 5 penalties, Keano for not scoring, Berbatov for not getting at least two, Hud for poor distribution, King for not being fit enough to stay on the pitch, Jenas and Chimbo for missing penalties, Woodgate for not scoring in extra time like he did against Chelsea, Lennon for not being involved enough, O'hara for replacing Keane, Zoko for finally scoring and still helping us lose, Steed for his loss in form. Ramos for being tactically inept, Martin Jol for not joining PSV we would def have won then, Levy for not showing enough ambition, DC for showing too much ambition, Gazza for being sick, Glenda for not practicing penalties....

I am just as gutted as everyone else, but not always do we have to find someone to blame. Sh*t happens, we will be back next year stronger than ever.

On a sad and miserable evening this actually made me laugh quite a bit.
I thought Bent did well today.
At the end of the day there was no one to blame, thats just football.

I think the guy needs to get over the "i have to adapt to them team" nonsense. Sure, when he's dropped off to receive the ball he needs to be able to hold it up and bring others in to play, but when he's in the box his job is to fucking score. There have been several occasions this season where he's been in a position to shoot and he's gone for a pass and fucked it. Another happened today when he tried to pass it for Keane - if that was last season he'd have blasted that in the bottom corner without a doubt. We bought the guy because he's a quality goalscorer, thats what he needs to focus on, not all this trying to be like Keane bullshit that is getting him nowhere.

For the record overall i thought he did ok today. He was working hard and made a few very good runs that weren't quite picked out. Just needs to play his own game and get that selfish streak back for me.

That's a confidence thing, which I'm sure you'll agree looks as if it's starting to come back (like the way he hit that half volley first time).

It's not surprising that Darren Bent may not feel as if he's been accepted by Tottenham, not least when we have people like Zapsta spouting shit left right and centre.

Imo though he seems to be forcing his way more and more into Ramos' thinking and it might not be long before we see him starting a couple of games with the Berb.

thats nothing, my "Jenas is shit, um well yeah" thread got over 100 replies, the mods even said it created a good argument so they weren't going to lock it.

Those were the days.... when jenas was shit.

You're right. People agreeing with me validates my existence.
