Really angry blog....

Spurs 1 Man Ure 1

Rarely do I use swear words in a blog but that f***ing twat of a referee Mark Clattenberg isn't fit to wear the black shirt. A slice of Battenberg could've done a better job! I've just got home from the Lane and I'm still absolutely livid that because of such ridiculously poor decisions, we have come away with just a point. It actually feels like we lost the game.

Three minutes of added time had already elapsed and yet the ref still allows United to take the corner, which inevitably led to their equaliser. No sooner had Spurs kicked off again, the whistle went for full time. I'm not even going to bother blaming our defence this time for failing to hold on in the dying minutes because all through the game, Clattenberg couldn't control the game. The way the United players surround the referee and consistently moan really pisses me off. Trouble is they always get away with it. I'm really surprised they didn't get awarded a dodgy penalty.

On the positive, our boys played their hearts out again today and deserved to win. A renewed determination and improved fitness are key factors. New signings Woodgate and Hutton were very impressive. If Jonathan can stay fit, he will be a rock for us at the back - just what we need. Dawson was excellent - back to his best, although he needs to work on the accuracy of his forward balls. Steed and Keano gave 100% effort as usual. However, it was Berba who got the goal in the first half; a ricochet off a defender and it was an easy sidefoot into the net. Spurs came so close to a 2-0 lead when Berba found Keane free in the box but he hit it first time straight at Van der Sar. What an opportunity, and one he'll be having nightmares about considering the end result.

At least we can say that Spurs are definitely heading in the right direction. Ramos has quite rightly got stuck in and sorted out the defence first and foremost. Starting with Cerny, I think he's far more confident than Robbo and barring the goal which went under his body last week, has looked solid. He pulled off a sensational save today by the way. The four in front of him have been changing each game for the past few weeks so it would be nice to finally see a settled and regular lineup.

At the close of the January transfer window, we have four new players, two of which I've already mentioned. Gunter, a young Welsh defender will no doubt spend some time on the subs bench for now but it's so nice to see how many young players Spurs are bringing in and despite having a Spanish manager, three out of the four are British. The other is left back Gilberto from Hertha Berlin. When I first heard this name I nearly had a fit, thinking we'd signed a Gooner! Gardner and Stalteri have been loaned out and Routledge was signed by Villa.

Finally, just have to say a bye-bye and good luck to Jermain Defoe has been a great servant for Spurs over the last few years. He signed for Pompey two days ago and guess what? He goes and scores on his debut!
