Man U 5 Spurs 2: Second Half Poleaxe To The Solar Plexus

A tale of two completely different halves for both sets of teams and supporters as Spurs let a good effort in the first half go to waste under a savage second half assault from the challenged leaders of the EPL.


Spurs had some good movement around the pitch offensively in the first half, and goalie Heurelho Gomes made some excellent saves to pace a defense that kept the Red Devils scoreless. Two goals around the half hour mark for Spurs were a just reward for the efforts, the first was from Darren Bent, who had earlier slightly misfired on a shot from the left, and the second was from Luka Modrić; the feeling of having a 2-0 lead at Old Trafford was a spectacular feeling for all Spurs fans.


MODRIĆ'S GOAL





Unfortunately, a dodgy penalty call on Gomes led to a second half avalanche of Man U goals, 5 of them in 22 minutes, as the home side responded to their predicament with fury.


For this Spurs fan, the first half was a continued sign of progress the team has generally made under Harry Redknap, and while the half-time result may have been a dream to even the most optimistic fans, there was still a feeling base upon that showing that a fair result would at least have garnered one point.


The speed of Spurs demise after the penalty kick was astonishing, with the team reeling in their defensive end of the pitch, with no organization to get the ball moving toward the other goal. Defensive lapses and a poorer show of form from Gomes sealed the deal in those critical minutes, leaving the team still seeking its first win at Old Trafford in league competition since 1989.



The gory details about the match from the GUARDIAN

Luka Modrić's Goal Vs. Chelsea: Spurs 1 Chelsea 0

Watching Aaron Lennon on the right side mesmerizing part of the Chelsea defense left a wide swath of midfield open, more than enough space for a cross to a wide open Luka Modrić to quickly blast a shot by Petr Cech. It could have been 2-0 to Spurs a couple of minutes later on a similar play, but Modrić drilled that one straight into the turf. Still that goal was enough to give the home side a well-deserved win at White Hart Lane today in an exciting match for Spurs fans.



Heurelho Gomes played a critical part in the win, with some vital saves throughout the game, though the one-handed swat of a John Terry shot late in the game will be the one fans recall. Luck was also on Spurs side as Alex had a wide-open shot hit the top of the woodwork moments later. After all of the crap Spurs have been through this year, it felt great to have the three points as a reward for a job done, for Spurs were the dominant side for the majority of game, and it took the last 15 minutes or so for the Blues to get untracked.



Undefeated against Chelsea for the season, gonna have to do some research to find out the last time that happened. COYS!!!!

WBA 2 Spurs 0 & Clint Dempsey's Bookend Goals Deny Chelski Three Points

A miserable day in the West Midlands for Spurs, falling to bottom dwellers West Bromwich Albion on two late goals in the last ten minutes. Spurs played most of the match with 10 men, after Benoit Assou-Ekotto was sent off in the 35th minute for a rash challenge. This match was on FSC on replay, but after following it via gametracker, there was really no reason to watch it at all.



Much better was the result Fulham got from playing Chelsea at Craven Cottage, two goals from Clint Dempsey were on either side of two goals from Frank Lampard as the Cottagers proved their resilience at home yet again this season, where they've lost just one match so far.



Dempsey's first goal came in the tenth minute off of a free kick, a ball that he chested neatly and delivered into the back of the net with his right foot at point blank range in front of the goal. He celebrated that goal by ENJOYING A COLD ONE FOR HIS WORK right in front of the Chelsea fans, and there were a number of them who were less than pleased with this action. His second goal came off of a corner kick in the dying moments of regulation, a perfect header toward the undefended left corner post that momentarily paralyzed the Chelsea defenders in the net.

The Joys Of Fandom: The Arse Vs. Spurs

Got to love the enthusiasm that these two chaps exhibit as the commentators for Fanzone for their respective teams in Wednesday's north London derby between the gooners and Spurs. Here are the video highlights of the two watching the action. Yelps of joy, screams of gibberish, badge kissing.....and topless nudity...it's all there. Well done Spurs man, way to actually get on those arse girls! :laugh:





YOU BEAUTY!

The Bitterness (?) Of Younes Kaboul

At this point in time, as another lackluster season draws to a close, the relative merits of what has gone right and wrong with Spurs is being debated, by both team officials and the fans, as a guide as to what to try and improve for next season. The firing of Marin Jol is one aspect, colored a bit by the injury factor at the time. The hiring of Juande Ramos brought a new attitude, a bit of a swagger that helped in Spurs triumph in taking home the Carling Cup earlier this year.


Now today comes word that a favorite of Jol's , Younes Kaboul, who hasn't played regularly for the past month or so under Ramos, has blasted Ramos, saying that Spurs would have won the Carling Cup even if Jol was still the coach.


I'm going to give the Frenchman a bit of a break on this one, what he's saying in this newly published article just shows a man who is clearly frustrated at his lack of playing time. One thing that I think might be behind Kaboul's words is that, no matter who the coach is, Spurs have been amazingly inconsistent all season, and that the brusque style of Ramos is bound to wear on a player who has fallen out of favor for whatever reason; I'm guessing that Kaboul sees other reasons for the inconsistency and lashed out when he'd had enough. He probably shouldn't have lashed out publicly like he did, but that's irrelevant now. KABOUL STORY


Going to dwell on the good things that he's done in his year here (highly unlikely he'll be back after this outburst), such as his dramatic injury time goal against Aston Villa in the amazing 4-4 draw back at the beginning of the year.

Shunsuke Nakamura's Goal Vs. Rangers: Are You Kidding Me?

Great to see the Bhoys win a crucial match to keep their SPL title hope alive; what I'll remember though is the amazing strike by Celtic's Nakamura, his quick corralling of the pass and then the subsequent twisting blast shot on goal with his left foot is a thing of beauty. C'mon the hoops!

Manchester United 2 Arsenal 1: SURPRISE.....IT'S HARGREAVES!!!

Gotta love Owen Hargreaves for sinking the Gunners faint league title hopes with a wicked free kick that no one on Arsenal(save for maybe Robert van Persie, who made a half hearted jump) even made a move to block. That kick was the final of two second half goals for the Red Devils at Old Trafford as they overcame a 0-1 deficit for the victory.


It's true, the visitors did outplay Man U for large parts of the game, but both teams missed golden opportunities to score, and some good work from the goalkeeper and the defense is always essential to success; that part of the game isn't just luck, as Arsene Wenger trotted out the latest version of "we outplayed them, we were just unlucky, etc" for everyone afterward.



Also gotta love the fact that Arsenal's annoying goalie Jens Lehmann (RIGHT, NOT A BITTER MAN AT ALL), who declared earlier in the week that WERE HE IN GOAL, ARSENAL WOULD NOT HAVE LOST IN THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE MATCH VS. LIVERPOOL just stood there with the rest of his teammates on the Hargreaves free kick.




The lovely, lovely goal, which made me laugh out loud for the first time since, errr, Tuesday I suppose, is linked below.

Teemu Tainio's Goal

A total thing of beauty that deserves its own post. The cross from one side of the pitch by Berbatov to Lennon on the other (didn't see Lennon waving his hands in the air running down the left side during the live action) with the spectacular backheel pass to Tainio, who boots the ball into the back of the net. I will never get tired of this goal, no matter how long I live...it will be burned into my memory. A wonderful piece of football.
