The Football Premiership - Spurs off the Bottom... at last

Another week, another win for Tottenham in this great reversal of fortune.

New manager, Harry Redknapp is the man !!!

Manchester City 1 - 2 Tottenham Hotspur

That will do nicely !!!

Brazilian Robinho scored first for City in the 16th minute, finding the net from point-blank range. That thankfully was the end of their tally as resurgent Tottenham were to come back strongly.

Manchester City deservedly had Gelson Fernandes sent off for a clumsy challenge and the home side were down to just 10 men. It was now a very different game.

A rejuventated Darren Bent scored a brilliant individual goal in the 30th and from here the game was Tottenham's to be won.

Bent added a second goal in the 64th and the victory was sealed when City had yet another man sent off. Tottenham had Assou-Ekoto sent off in the 87th, but by that the time the game was already won. 2-1 to Tottenham and 3 much needed points.

Spurs finally climb out the relegation zone to 17th. It looks as if they will finish the season about mid-table. One wishes Harry Redknapp had turned up a lot earlier. Under Redknapp's command Tottenham Hotspur are a completely different animal.

The Premiership - Arsenal 4 - 4 Tottenham, Redknapp begins

What a turnaround for Tottenham Hotspur! They were just 2 points from 7 premiership games. Juande Ramos was replaced by Harry Redknapp from Portsmouth and then it was 4 points from the next two games, a points increase of 200%.

Arsenal 4 - 4 Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham had been struggling to score goals ever since the season began and to score 4 away to London rivals and Title contenders Arsenal, will be a major confidence booster. In a game that was laden with defensive mistakes from both sides, the manner in which Spurs forced the draw spells good omens for the remainder of the season.

In a game played at fantastic pace, Arsenal's Theo Walcott had an early chance in the 10th minute, but his left footed shot passed just wide of the post from 17 yards out.

Then it happened. An absolute Wonder Goal. David Bently shot from 40 yards out with a looping volley that flew into the back of the net. First blood to Tottenham and Harry was jumping off the bench in celebration. It truly was an awesome goal.

Spurs Goalkeeper, Gomez, looked suspect the whole game and surely he will be replaced under the new Redknapp era. He was particularly weak at corners as time and time again he would rush out of goal, with zero chance of getting the ball. This lead to Arsenal equalizing 8 minutes before half time through Mikael Silvestre.

Gallas added a second just after half time and when Adebayor stuck in a third in the 64th for Arsenal, the game looked over... or at least it should have been.

Arsenal failed to close down the game. Darren Bent came on for Pavlyuchenko in the 65th minute and scored just 2 minutes later following an error by gunners goalkeeper Alumunia. 3-2.

Awful defending from Spurs again gifted Adebayor who found Van Persie who scored with a powerful strike in the 68th. 4-2.

From here, Arsenal should have just played the clock down, passed it around until the game was over, but they didn't. Maybe it was cockiness or maybe immaturity from a relatively young side, but they were made to pay. Late goals from Jenas in the 89th, courtesy of a clichy slip and the equalizer in injury time from Aaron Lennon who pounced on the rebound after Modric hit the post from 25 yards out.

4-4 it ended.

One of the most entertaining matches of the season so far. Both sides deserved to get something out the game and Tottenham made a magnificent comeback when the match seemed totally out of their grasp. If new manager Harry Redknapp can keep them playing like this and remove the basic defensive errors, it is hard to see Spurs being in the relegation zone for much longer.

The Premiership: When will Tottenham win?

When will Tottenham Hotspurs win their first game in the Football Premiership? Lord, if I know. This has officially been the worst start to a season for 34 years and that is certainly longer than I can remember.

Spurs scraped an unconvincing win in Europe this week, courtesy of an own goal against Wisla Krakow. They go through to the next round 3-2 on aggregate, but they were lucky and it was hardly a performance to spark any great confidence.

What is going on?

Spurs are the only Premiership Football team yet to win a game. Their seventh match is at home against Hull City. Hull were promoted last season and have had a great start to this year's campaign. They lie 6th in the table just 3 points off the League leaders, Chelsea.

Hull so far have performed greater than anyone had expected, but surely they are going to suffer a drop in form sooner or later. Hopefully it will be this Sunday, Tottenham will finally make Home Advantage count and seriously start to make inroads to getting out the Relegation zone!

It is still early days in the season, but with just 2 points from 6 games played, it's the potential start to something that doesn't end at all well.
