It was the first competitive Spurs away game where I've gone and got to sit with the away fans, which was a magical and spine-tingling experience. But nothing whatsoever happened in the actual game. Our team was a sticking plaster job, half of them out of position, and Fulham were missing lots of their main men too; Murphy, Dempsey, Johnson. Yet again we were one-trick-ponies who gave it to Bale every time and Bale's dribbling was quite Brazilian at times, but by the end they had learnt to double up on him. Kranjcar not at his best, Modric was very influential but I still think our best midfield by far is Modric/Hudd/Palacios/Lennon. Seeing Hangeland close up you realise what the hype is about; he was everywhere, so strong, Crouch and Pav in his pocket. Defoe can't be fit or he would have had more than 9 minutes. We could do without a replay but still, could have been worse, if they had anyone other than Zamora doing the finishing we may well have lost that and now the world will fully expect a Spurs win at WHL.
