18-01-2010 3:17pm#1Topspurs editorial from jim duggan16th January 2010 – TOPSPURS update
Firstly a belated happy new year to everyone! Its been a while since the last update but there’s not really a lot more to add to previous comments this season. Spurs are well placed both on and off the field to do well and through a long overdue dose of common sense from Mr Harry, are at last starting to fulfill the potential of our great club. And long may it continue
When things are like this you can take the odd blip like a defeat against Wolves or indeed failing to put away Hull as you know Spurs can turn on a quality performance like the win over City and string together some good results. With the City-United cup semi next week, perhaps the biggest disappointment was the non entity of a game up there in the league cup with Wembley within sight but you can’t have everything and two wembley visits in three seasons is not too bad and there is still the FA Cup anyway. Overall, time to sit back and enjoy and see where this team can go, esp after many crap years with not much hope during the Sugar years post Venables and before Jol.
There are not too many dark clouds on the horizon. Possibly something from Levy’s box of clangers or perhaps the Government gangsters investigation of Redknapp Snr taking his hand from the rudder but assuming normal luck, things should just keep getting better using each window to upgrade the quality of the squad. If the biggest thing supporters have to worry about is that 121 goal legend Keane is getting in the team ahead of an England International, we’ve certainly come a long way since Spurs ended a 0-0 game at lowly West Ham with Andy Booth and Dave McEwan up front 9 years ago this month. Although it seems beyond the comprehension of the modern soccer fan to be happy with 1-X1 of their team, where there always has to be villain or two, deserved or otherwise.
Perhaps the biggest threat to the continued harmony would be raised expectations from the last 18 months of champions league football going unfulfilled over the next couple of seasons. While it would be good to initially take 4th this season before cementing a place in the top 4 and eventually challenging for the title, equally there are worse situations to be winning plenty of games near the top of the also runs and having good runs in the cups. And sometimes you have run hard to stand still, which has certainly been the case in the EPL where everyone is scrambling to stay aligned to the money trough.
The transfer window presents an opportunity to get misfits such as Bentley and Pav off the books and strengthen in the areas such as fullback and reserve keeper where Spurs look a little exposed, but these windows should be used to cherry pick when the price is right rather than the blanket buy five hope one works approach
While Myhill takes the plaudits from the Hull game, it was also a notable game for Spurs who recorded their sixth consecutive clean sheet (and fifth consecutive clean sheet in the league), both of which equal Spurs record.
The game at Anfield represents the history making game against crisis club Liverpool, a club Spurs have not kept a clean a sheet in 10 games against the scousers and you have to go back to August 2003 for the last time Spurs kept a clean sheet up there but then again Crooksie and co had an even bigger shadow hanging over them in their history making win in 1985 so you never know
As you can see, runs of clean sheets are very much a modern Spurs thing. Those runs of clean sheets in full – firstly league and cup games…
