JJ saves our blushes

Spurs 2 Scum 2

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRGH! What happened to the passion second half? We came out flying straight from the k/off and the Arse just weren't in the game. Spurs quite deservedly got the first goal but after the break it was like a totally different team....except for Berba who was clearly a class above everyone else & looked like the only one who wanted to win. You could see the frustration in his body language. If he doesn't get the support, he's gonna want to play for a better team and we need to keep him at the Lane for as long as possible. The passing was absolutely dreadful and the defending was woeful yet again.....how many times do we concede from set pieces? OMG! *tears hair out*


Keano celebrating our first goal


Thanks to JJ for saving our blushes with a screamer in the 5th minute of injury time. He did sod all else - proves how inconsistent he is! We really didn't deserve it either considering the Scum hit the woodwork three times and missed God know how many other chances. 'We was lucky'!

Robbo 7 didn't really have to do much, goals not his fault
Chimbonda 5 very poor today - Arse's 1st goal his fault
Rocha 7 average game
King 7 average game - good to have him back
Daws 7 average game for him
Lennon 6 still put on the left IT DOESN'T WORK!!!
Tainio 6 hardly noticed him
Malbranque (sub) 5 awful
Zokora 7 some good surging runs
Huddz (sub) 5 pretty poor
JJ 7 only gets a 7 because of the goal
Keano 7 looked lively 1st half
Berba 8 MOTM by far
JD (sub) 5 did he get a touch?

OK, so we didn't lose (again) but the last time we beat the scum was 1999. It took us 16 years to beat Chelsea - have we really got to wait that long?


Only four games remaining. On paper we should win three of them but who knows the way Spurs are playing at the moment. We have to hope that Reading and Pompey both lose their games which will help a bit but I hate having to rely on others - fate should be in our own hands.
