Dimitar Berbatov opened the book on the possible relegation of Charlton today with a wonderful goal created with some of his skill in the seventh minute of the game, and Jermain Defoe slammed it shut with an added time goal at the finish to seal the fate of the Addicks for next season.
Did not watch it live, but a clean sheet is still nice, even against a woeful team, though Darren Bent is a quality player and finisher.
Berbatov took a pass from Ledley King and totally confounded Charlton defender Talal El Karkouri with a deft move, and then finishing it in glorious style as both El Karkouri and goalie Scott Carson nearly collided in trying to prevent the goal.
Was fortunate enough to stop at Rennie's, on a break in my work route today, to see if they would have the game on, as they do with the Champions League matches, where quite a crowd shows up to cheer their team on. I got there at the half time break today. Well, there were two people interested in the match.........although one, to my delight, was sporting a Robbie Keane shirt. Finally....another Spurs fan in the state of Oregon. We had a nice conversation about Berbatov and the transfer rumour mill, but work was calling me back, so I had to check the score via my phone for the next hour.
The win puts Spurs up to sixth, one point behind Everton with a game in hand. Another UEFA Cup berth appears within reach.....COYS!!!
