Could it get any worse?

Spurs 1 Blackburn 2

Team line-up: Cerny, Chimbonda, Dawson, Kaboul, Lee, Malbranque (Bent), Huddlestone, Zokora, Lennon, Berbatov (Defoe), Keane

It was a wet and dismal day in North London and my third outing to the Lane so far this season. After Thursday's tragic events, I didn't think it could get any worse. A winner in injury time gave Blackburn the points and leaves Spurs still struggling in the relegation zone. The team talk before the game may as well be 'Go one up, have the majority of the possession, get the crowd going then let in an equaliser. Carry on having good possession but then in the last ten minutes let the opposition into the game and don't bother to tackle anymore or close the ball down. Then be patient, wait and wait some more, until the 4th official has held up the added three minutes sign, then BAM let them score a winner'! I can't help the sarcasm; it may as well have been a script as this is the result we have grown accustomed to.

I would like to add some positives (because otherwise I might kill myself). 'STEED MALBRANQUE, YOU ARE A TROOPER'. Always giving 100%, battling, tackling, one-twos, running at players - he is an inspiration and if only all 11 players on the pitch would give their all like he does. Get hin in the middle of the park where he can really play and get rid of Huddlestone who was useless today. Aaron Lennon is starting to look like the player he was last season and at last Michael Dawson had a pretty decent match after a very dodgy start to the season. He was awarded a cheque for £30,000 today for his contribution last season - well deserved Michael.

'Ramos is in the building' as it were. Man, he has one hell of a job to do, I almost feel sorry for him! Blackpool in the Carling Cup on Wednesday should be a formality but hey, we're talking Spurs so hold on to your hats!

COYS....whatever.
