We are the 1-all kings!

Spurs 1 Bolton 1

For the first time in 2008, we could wear our footie shirts without four layers on top! It must have been 20 degrees warmer than last week at Wigan - what a difference. It was so nice to sit out in the Coach & Horses' beer garden and catch some rays in the company of friends.

Team: Cerny, Hutton (Huddlestone), Woodgate, Dawson (Bent), Gilberto, Zokora, Malbranque (O'Hara), Lennon, Jenas, Keane, Berbatov

Spurs had pretty much all the possession in the first half, had a reasonable amount of shots but were unable to capitalise once again. Bolton came out with bombs up their arses just after the break and caught Spurs off guard and managed a scrappy toe-poke over the line from a yard out after it looked like Cerny had managed to save it. Still, maybe it was better we went one down than one up because we can't hold on to a lead to save our lives. Spurs continued to press and Bolton really didn't manage to create anything more. We came close a few times - either side of the post, a couple over the bar, a couple of headers but it was Malbranque who got the equaliser running on to a cross (possibly miskicked) on the left side of the goal from a few yards out. STEEEEEEEEEED! My man of the season but why was he subbed yet again? Berba could've won the game in the dying minute when his head met a good free kick from O'Hara. You would have bet money on him scoring. And so it was another one of those days when it didn't quite pan out right, and the fourth consecutive 1-1 draw. Are we going for a record? Jeez, it seems so long ago since Spurs won a match....only two more to go.

On a non-Yido note, the race for the Premiership title took a turn for the worse today when Chelski beat Manure 2-1 to level on points. It's likely to go to the last day - exciting for the neutral but let's just hope the blue scum don't win it. At the bottom, it's equally on tenterhooks as to who will go down with Derby.
