Boro 1 Spurs 1 (Bent 35)I couldn't get the live stream to work on the internet so had to resort to listening to this one on the radio. I wasn't missing much; sounded pretty dull and this was confirmed by Phil Thompson's reports on Gillette Soccer Saturday. Not much has changed there then!
New manager Juande Ramos bravely picked Bent and Defoe up front as opposed to the more familiar partnership of Keane and Berbatov and also gave Kevin Prince Boateng his first league start of the season. Given that he has only been in the country just over a week, I guess he will want to try out a few players and assess what his best team is. The full lineup: Robinson, Chimbonda, Kaboul, Dawson, Lee, Malbranque, Jenas, Boateng, Lennon, Bent, Defoe.
There is hardly anything to report from the game, and the Match of the Day highlights were very brief. You've got to say that Luke Young's equaliser for Boro was a 'screamer' - no keeper in the world would save that one. There were a few good goals around today, including another long range 'screamer' from Noe Pamarot of Portsmouth. Hard to choose from those two if the 'Goal of the month' competition was still going.
So just the one point (again) but dare we get carried away with the fact that we move up to 17th and out of the relegation zone?!!
