On form

Another game, another win! Never one to grumble about back to back wins! the performance this weekend of the team, was iconic! From defence to attack every man played his part in yesterdays win over QPR. Scott Parker has made a massive difference in the center of the field, an old skool type of player, reads the game with ease! It's a shame we didn't have him on board last season......

After a slow start for our PFA player of the year, Bale is starting to kick into gear, 2 fantastic finishes yesterday should hopefully kick start his goal scoring this season! The only worrying point from yesterday was that of our big man up top Adebayor. After a great start to his Spurs career 'Ade' has gone on a bit of a mini goal drought! Although he does offer an outlet for the long ball, he's final touch has been a bit off of late. With 'Arry claiming that Defoe looks like a 'world beater' in training, could we see the little man replace 'Ade' up top if this lack of form continues?

With King & Gallas back from injuries our defensive options are looking strong again. For me personally seeing King on the team sheet is a massive plus for us, he reads the game as well as any of the current defenders in the world, exploring every option, and like a classic defender follows the golden rule 'If in doubt kick it out!'

If King can stay fit for @ least 20 odd games this season, it could be the difference between top 4 or top 6. With Dawson facing a long layoff, theres no doubt we will need King's experience.

Our recent run has almost gone unnoticed amongst the press, and long may that continue, 6 wins from 7 is no easy feat in the top flight, Although the likes of City and United are a few points in front of us, this season could see a surprise package rise from the depths of North London.

On the eve of 'Arrys' 3 year anniversary @ The Lane, could we be celebrating in style come May?

Jermain Defoe he's a ..............


After a stop start season things looked a bit worrying for Defoe over the summer, speculation that he was on the move, that him & 'Arry had fallen out with each other & that the players confidence had been shot to pieces.

@ The start of the new season things seemed to be going well, Defoe looked as sharp as ever against Hearts in the Europa league playoff game as well as in the early season games against Wolves & Liverpool.

Then came a bit of a bomb shell from fans idol VDV. After picking up another win against the scum VDV claimed that he only likes playing behind the striker and not on the wings........

'Arry had a choice to make, With Adebayor the main man up top it was between VDV & JD for the 'second' striker role.

Unfortunately for Defoe, 'Arry went with the Dutchman.... and well VDV true to his word plays better behind the big man up top! Banging in 3 goals in his last 2 games!

During the Newcastle game Defoe came on for a cameo appearance for VDV and scored a cracker! But it seems 'Arry can't leave out VDV and so what does the future hold for Jermain Defoe?
