Tottenham Hotspurs Win. Finally !!!

Being a fan of Tottenham Hotspur this season, so far has not been very much fun. But finally, finally, they have managed to win a game.

Last night Spurs beat Newcastle away in the Carling Cup 2-1. The first half was pretty abysmal ending goalless and it looked very much as if the poor form would continue. However, second half goals from the new man, Pavlyuchenko 63’ and O'Hara 67’ was enough to see them into the next round. The Newcastle defence was hideously bad, it has to be said, but a win is a win and the Club will be greatful to take it.

Former England International, Michael Owen managed to pull one back for Newcastle in the 88th minute, but by then it was way too late.

With Russian Pavlyuchenko now breaking his duck, hopefully Tottenham will now begin a resurgence in the League. They next face Portsmouth who have let in 10 goals in their last 2 games. Seems like a good place to start a comeback.

What is Happening to Tottenham Hotspurs ???

At the time of publishing this blog the date is September 23rd 2008. It hasn't been the best start to the season for Tottenham and there is no positive spin you can put on it. Believe me... I've tried !!!

What is happening to Tottenham Hotspurs ???

Spanish Manager, Juande Ramos, former UEFA Cup Winner managing Sevilla was supposed to restore the clubs fortunes. After the first 5 games, Tottenham lay last with just 2 points !!!

16 Aug, 15:00 Middlesbrough 2 - 1 Tottenham Hotspur Premier League
23 Aug, 15:00 Tottenham Hotspur 1 - 2 Sunderland Premier League
31 Aug, 13:30 Chelsea 1 - 1 Tottenham Hotspur Premier League

I thought the draw at Chelsea was the start of a U-turn in the Premiership, but it just got worse with first, losing at Home to Aston Villa and then drawing at Home to Wigan.

21 Sep, 15:00 Tottenham Hotspur 0 - 0 Wigan Athletic

This is just awful and Tottenham seriously need to improve. Last year Spurs conceded many Goals, but this was negated as they also scored a lot as well. So what happens this season? Strikers Robbie Keane, Sold to Loverpool. Berbatov, Sold to Man Utd.

This is very worrying. New signing Modric is injured and it is unclear whether Palychenko will be a success in the Premiership. I am keeping my fingers crossed for a sudden upturn in form. Surely Champion Ramos can do something, can't he?

The next match sees Tottenham away to fellow strugglers Newcastle in the Carling Cup. Newcastle are just one place above them in the League table and I'm just praying they have a stinker. The next League game is against Portsmouth.
