If I had the wings of an Angel,
If I had the **** of a crow,
I'd fly over Tottenham tommorrow,
And **** on the Tottenham below.

Tottenham have never had any consistency, and looking at the injuries they've got, they're miles away from this alleged top 5 spot.

Player for player, the Toon already have the better side - and yes, it HAS been considerably rebuilt since last season...

J Enrique - left-back replaces Babayaro
Cacapa - centre half replaces...Titus Shambles
D Rozenhal - centre half replaces...Craig Moore
Geremi - central midfield replaces Scott Parker
J Barton - central midfield replaces Dyer
M Viduka - striker, replaces Sibierski
A Smith - striker

the rest
M Owen - striker
O Martins - striker
Shola Ameobi - striker
D Duff - winger
C Nzogbia - winger
J Milner - winger
S Taylor - centre half
Emre - midfield
N Butt - midfield
Solano - right back

Now, will someone buy these players please - Steven Carr, Babayaro, Luque

When Spurs finished high in the last couple of seasons, most of the other teams capable of matching (or overtaking you) were in transition...

Newcastle for example were realling after a succession of bad managers, appointed by Fat Freddy (tm) eg. Souness, Roeder, etc...

Bolton were punching above their weight, Everton have no money, Man City were floundering under Pearce, etc... Spurs had actually got their act together while everyone else was in turmoil and finished the season in the appropriate position.

What I'm saying is THIS season, they won't have it so easy.



In fact, I see an opening in the top 4 - Arsenal aren't what they used to be and Liverpool have never shown consistency in the Premiership under Benitez or Houlier.

I doubt he'll get the chance to prove himself - Viduka, Alan Smith, Oba Martins and Michael Owen will keep him out of the side.

Usual start, went to game full of promise, left full of woe

Villa really cancelled us out big style and were good for the money.

Plenty of work to do for Big Sam , but he'll still get us inside top 8 by the end of the season which is a worthy target for now.

Credit to Villa's defence who did a good job.

We missed a creator in the midle of the park to breakdown their defence - looking forward to Joey Barton getting back from injury.
