Robbo To Miss Newcastle: Be Careful What You Wish For?

One fairly consistent worry from Spurs fans for the past couple of years is the number of lapses that goalie Paul Robinson has exhibited on the pitch. allowing balls into the back of the net that really had no business going there. (On second thought, add fans of the English team in general to that list of those who hold their breath way too often when Robbo's in goal).



At any rate, the news out of White Hart Lane is that Robinson had suffered a calf strain on international duty, which means that back up goalie Radek Cerny will finally get a chance to be in the starting line-up this coming Monday night at Newcastle.



With the woeful start that Spurs have had the season, done in part by some of those lapses, the least that could be done, in the view of many fans, is to have let Cerny have a shot and see if maybe Robinson's lapses were down to an overall lack of confidence; maybe a short rest could do him and the team some good. Well, we'll all be finding out this coming Monday. Come On You Spurs!
