    My worse day as a Spurs fan occured in Elland road. Well certianly the worst result I've ever known.
    I can't even bring myself to mention it or Stuart Nethercott anymore

    Interesting fact about Stuart Nethercott:


    Stuart Nethercott grew up through the ranks at Tottenham and made his debut on 20 March 1993 in a 1-1 draw at Chelsea. Wikipedia’s description of the player is genius however, as I seem to remember the event clearly:
    “Stuart Nethercott is perhaps best remembered for the disproportionate amount of times he featured in the Merlin F.A. Premier League Sticker Book collection for the 1994-95 season. Much to the chagrin of collectors, it was not unknown for a six sticker packet to contain six copies of Nethercott, then in the Tottenham ranks.”
    Aside from the liberal number of Stuart Nethercott stickers that were in floatation, the real reason Tottenham fans in particular will remember Nethercott , is because he was an awful player. Nethercott was slow, incapable reading the game, had a poor positional sense and was error prone. A mistake that comes to mind was a miss-hit clearance against Southampton at White Hart Lane in 1994, which fell straight into the path of Matthew Le Tissier who couldn’t miss from eight yards out

    No Defoe, even on the bench, is he injured?

    Hope Obika gets a chance!

    Its a big gamble "resting" defoe if that rumour about him being injured has any basis..

    Dempsey is getting better every game so Id love to see him score or more get his confidence levels up long term.
    .can see siggy nicking 2 as well .
    anything other than a clean sheet & ill be slightly miffed!

    We came out asleep after the break and got what we deserved.

    Looking at the bench doesn't exactly fill me with hope either.
