i thought we looked the b****x, there were too many subs after 65 mins to keep the flow going but i thought even the subs coming on played well. interesting to see bale stay at left back even when gilberto came on

That was more satisfying than sex. :grin: The euphoria of a win like that lasts much longer.

... and what's that lovely fresh scent in the air..?

... Well I never, it's another lovely clean sheet!

(Excuse me if I have a good feeling about this season).

The drive up to Boro next week doesnt seem as long after that game today. I really hope we get off to a great start to the season. COYS!

After watching that I still think we should ditch the traditional 4-4-2. We looked more dangerous in 2nd half after we went to just Bent up front. Roma didnt know what the hell our shape was then and it showed.

Bring on Boro!!

oh dear. our expectations will now soar through the roof. i hope these results aren't masking over the cracks, i'm sure its not going to with ramos in charge. a 2-2 hard fought draw would have sufficed imo, just so we don't get complacent and get murdered next week. bent probably go scoreless now for 12 games :(

Wouldn't read too much into a Sunday kickaround. Roma didn't bother trying.

They let Barndoor Bent score a brace. Tells you everything.

Yeah we wont win the league and it would still be a bit optimistic to start thinking Top 4, but to say they didnt bother trying is a bit too negative, and wtf would Bent have had to do in the past few weeks to get you to lay off him? The reactions and petulance of the Roma players shows they werent expecting to get thrashed today, and after the first hour we eased off and changed the whole team around.

COYS - Bring on Boro. Well up for the season now!!!! :beer:

Great performance, incredibly professional, but lacking no flair, everything was there today, against decent opposition, let's hope we can carry our form into the season.

Spurs 8 - 0 Tavernes
Spurs 4 - 2 Denia
Spurs 1 - 1 Hercules
Spurs 5 - 1 Norwich
Spurs 5 - 1 Leyton Orient
Spurs 2 - 0 Celtic
Spurs 3 - 0 Borussia Dortmund
Spurs 5 - 0 Roma

That's 33 scored and 5 conceded in 8 games. An average of more than 4 goals scored and less than 1 conceded per game.

Just including the last three results against teams of UEFA standard, scored 10 and conceded 0 in 3 games, averaging more than 3 scored a game.

In addition, we've only failed to win one game, and we drew that. Ramos has really got this team firing on all cylinders in pre season and we should be expecting to challenge top 4 based on it, but you never know with us.
