Firstly, this is not a knee-jerk reaction against any of the players who played last night, but the game against Hearts could certainly not be described as a thriller. Yes it was nice to see some of our yoof get a run out and there was also an excellent comedic performance from Roman Pavyluchenko (who will surely be starring in a Martin Lawrence movie before too long...Big Mama's House 9 - Being shit in Russia). But ultimately it was all a bit boring, particularly in the second half when not even the Hearts fans seemed to care.
So this got me to thinking...what is the worst game you've ever seen at the Lane? I don't mean humiliating defeats or simply terrible Spurs performances, rather games where so little talent was on show from both sides that it made you wonder what was going on in X-Factor (or whatever the 80s equivalent was).
For me last night comes pretty close but only because we've traditionally been a ludicrously open team and I haven't been going to games regularly for that long. I think a cup game against Southend that we had (where Defoe scored from an offside position in the 117th minute or something) is the winner, but I'm sure you all have something better...or worse as the case may be.
