Certainly not a bad way to earn the first point of the year, a well-deserved draw from all accounts, aided by a bit of luck for the Spurs goal and some more luck (and good goal tending) to hold the Blues to one goal.
I will admit that I got into the house just a couple of hours before the match started here on Pacific time in the early morning and did not follow this one live at any time, so it was a thrill to see that Spurs had finally showed some spirit for an extended length of time. The highlights I did see showed that Juliano Belletti's goal in the 27th minute off of a corner kick was well-taken, but it was Darren Bent's sneaky move off of a misplace Frank Lampard kick that tied the match at 1 just before the end of the first half that began to justify the big price tag Spurs paid for him in the first place.
Still no concrete news on the imminent transfer of the Big Sulk (Dimitar Berbatov) to Manure, and Berbs once again did not travel with the team and suit up for the match, but the longer the SAF and the Red Twats wait for someone they think they can just buy to help them is very good news for the rest of the EPL (and football in general). FTR!
