Wigan 1 Spurs 0: Unremittingly Stupid Loss

(title chosen because I rarely get to use 'unremittingly' and 'stupid' in the same sentence).


What else is new? Spurs allow an injury-time goal to Wigan ( a decent side this season ) off of a corner kick to allow the home-side a 1-0 victory at the JJB earlier today. I hate reading the match reports that say the late goal allowed that team to earn a well-deserved victory........but why put lipstick on a pig, unless you're into that sort of thing (NTTAWWT!). The depressing story of the result is HERE , leaving Spurs in the relegation zone once again. Nothing personal against Wigan or their coach Steve Bruce, both of whom I've felt a sense of liking to in the past few years, it's just that I expected a bit more from a Spurs side desperately trying to reassert its identity after a truly dismal start to the season. Pass the alcohol......please!
