The Premiership - Tottenham finally Win !!!

Tottenham have finally won a game of Premiership football this season!

No, that's not an illusion, the above line really does say that.

All it took were 9 Premiership games and the sacking of Juande Ramos and Tottenham Hotspur are finally off the mark.

Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 Bolton

Watched in the stands by new manager to be, Harry Redknapp, he must have been delighted with the result. He takes charge fully from the next game onwards. Stand in Clive Allen did a fantastic job as the team played the best they have done all season.

A bright start resulted in a 16th minute headed goal from major signing Pavlyuchenko. He positioned himself well to get on the end of a David Bentley cross. Bolton goalkeeper, Jasskelainen was given no chance to stop it.

After the goal, Tottenham played some attractive Football had Bolton struggled to get into the game. A frustrated McCann was sent off for a clumsy tackle on Huddlestone and then Spurs were playing against just 10 men. This made a nice change from previous games.

Darren Bent added a second in the 75th from the Penalty-Spot and Tottenham should have really scored more. But a win is a win and it is one the Club will have been very relieved to have earned.

Hopefully this now signals the start of a new era, and Spurs can lift themselves off the bottom of the table and with momentum out of the dreaded Relegation zone.

Harry's first real game in charge will be on the 29th October away to London rivals Arsenal.

Football Premiership - Spurs defeated... yet again !

I am really running out of titles to call these Tottenham Hotspurs Blogs. Tottenham Lose, Spurs defeated, The Woe Continues, Tottenham still without a win.. etc etc

After the opening 7 games without a win, I was wondering how it could possibly get any worse. And now I know.

It was playing Stoke City, the next team up in the table, getting two players sent off and losing 2-1. Now with Spurs, no awful result surprises me.

This was the chance to turn things around. Newly promoted Stoke City are hardly World beaters. All was going well until the 17th minute. Tottenham conceded a Penalty, Defender Bale was sent off and Stoke's Higginbotham converted the chance.

1-0. Now Spurs were really up against it.

Arguably offside, a glimmer of hope was offered by Bent who managed to equalize and for a while Tottenham had most of the play despite being a man short. But... to continue the abysmal theme of the season, City scored again in the Second Half and Tottenham Hotspurs never came back. Stoke could have arguably scored another, missing a second Penalty awarded.

Dawson was the second Spurs player given the red card deep into injury time to round off yet another thoroughly miserable afternoon.

City fans joyfully chanted, "You're getting sacked in the Morning!". I don't think this was aimed at their own Manager somehow. Juande Ramos must go now surely. Eight games, two points and NO wins.
