I have to admit a grudging respect for the way Spurs are playing at the moment. They may be a bunch of spies but they have got the perfect balance, though it has taken an ex Hammer bought for a song to provide the basis for that! Nice to see Harry back on his feet, though you wonder if some of the anaesthetic is still in his system when he says Spurs can win the league this season? Perhaps he was on that when he did his tax return at Portsmouth. As for Chelsea, they look a million miles away and their manager is surely out of his depth. Not sure it was wise of him to say that it would cost too much for Abramovic to sack him. With Hiddink now a free agent, that sounds like a challenge the boss may accept! (though AVB would become very rich..the price of failure eh?)
A high scoring week here, helped by the Blackburn bonus goal, and this gave Paul Barnard the 2nd highest winning score this season (313). Sean McGuiness also has a great week and moves from from 34th to 5th in the table. Atb, Ciro
