Wenger gets away with it again

Friday, February 29th, 2008

It didn’t take Avram Grant long to start bleating did it, is he Arsene Wenger in disguise? The pressure of losing is clearly getting to him. The reports in the paper were commincal this week, he has to win a trophy or at least finish in the top 4 to get money to spend this summer! That’s no target, finishing below 2nd is abject failure for that squad for goodness sake.

 There have been many injuries in football but never to my knowledge has a manager come out and said a player should never be allowed to play again. That, despite a later retraction, is despicable and Arsene Wenger should have been asked at least to explain his comments. Just ask yourself how can a player get a 4 game ban for a tap on the face (whilst the other guy gets nothing) and a manager making a comment like that gets off scott free?

Tottenham Memorabilia offer our best wishes to Eduardo and hope for a speedy recovery, which was a pure accident. He just got to the ball as Taylor was making the challenge, a guy 3 clubs have sold or tried to sell because he is too soft.

Onto better things a Spurs tie away to Birmingham City which we must be looking to win even if we do not need a league place to qualify for Europe. A cup double would be nice but that is a long way off yet.

Who is the 19th highest payed player in the world on basic wages? Why it’s the overpriced Darren Bent, he must have a good agent or our board are idiots to pay him £4.55 million, no wonder we can’t wait to offload him at a hugh loss. Great business guys!

Hutton has settled in well, as has Woodgate, it will be good to see Gilberto and of course next season we will have Gareth Bale back, that will seem like another new signing. I can’t wait for next season already.

Tottenham Hotspur - Carling Cup Winners 2008

Typical, we thrash Arsenal and every goal we scored did’nt count according to Wenger, we totally outplay Chelsea and Grant reckons Chelsea were the better side.  What game was he watching? Bad losers the pair of them. Even at the end they wanted the rules changed to suit them, the game is over when the time is up, not when play breaks down.

Spurs were all over Chelsea at the start, we hit the bar after 9 mins and Carvalho should have been sent off for an elbow on Jenas after 35.

After Drogba scored from a free kick, they tried to play boring football for a 1-0 win, they got what they deserved, nothing.

Bridge was clearly seen bringing hand to ball from the replay view the linesman, or is it still assistant referee, had. Just look at what it meant to Berbatov when he tucked away the penalty.  Spurs wanted it more than Chelsea.

Zakora, who had a wonderful game, should have wrapped it up after 79 minutes but Man of the Match Woodgate scores after 4 minutes of extra time.

We had a Keeper and defence that had not played together before, Robinson in only his second game back, a right back playing at left back, Hutton playing only his third game since signing from Rangers, Woodgate playing only his fourth and King back after 6 games out.

Can we hold out, yes we can, well done boys, Carling Cup Winners 2008, European football secured for next year.  Now for the UEFA Cup.
