Very important win! Holtby to start next time and we'll create more from the go. Would rather have Harry Kane up top than Dempsey at the moment.
We have two proper strikers and you reckon one of them being injured is a blessing in disguise?
That's some fucking disguise!

Defoe has been so piss poor lately that he may as well not have been there anyway.
I think Defoe needs a rest, some recovery and gym time and then he can come back on fire for the run in.
Bretty good.
I'd only add we also signed Dempsey, who has made more than a bit of a difference against a certain club in Manchester this season. Seems to me we've had 2 good windows, even if we failed to sign the striker we all want. If we finish 4th with Ade in form, I wouldn't be shocked to see a striker brought in with the CL money. As for today, hard fought away win. I'll take that every day of the week.
Yes I hope we get 3rd or 4th, the competition isn't great. But apart from the great get out of jail performance against Man U, we've recently had QPR, Leeds and Norwich performances, and this one would have been similar probably if Popov had stayed on. Just worried that spurs are heading for their usual 2nd half of season decline even a bit early this year.
Still, good to get a 0-1 away win and extend the unbeaten run in the premier league. I'm also looking forward to the Lyon game, I think that might be entertaining.
We'll go two points clear of Chelsea if we beat Newcastle.
As I said earlier, hardly anyone gets a result away from home in the PL.......
A draw away at QPR is all anyone gets now as they play with no attacking intent whatsoever on a tight, difficult pitch.
A draw at Norwich looks just about fine to me, Utd and the Scum both got turned over there.
Leeds was a cup match, their "cup final" so to speak........we looked (as the rest of the PL has) disinterested in winning.
He's an older player, to be honest, so i don't think anyone thinks he is a long term answer. I was only saying he has made an impact for us this year, even if he has taken a bit to settle in. I think he's been an asset for us, regardless of future plans. So if we're talking about how we've done well in the past two windows, he should be included.
First half was entertaining, second they had to park it and we battered them. Either way, it wasn't 'dire' but the striker gap is even more evident with lots of missed chances.
The perfect game for Parker is when we are up and the opposition is down to 10.
I love the guy but his lack of speed and injury concerns seem to be hurting his confidence. I am totally behind him every game but he seems to be losing ground. Sandro injury was a huge blow. Finish top 4 with Sandro gone, quite an accomplishment.
yes, but our away form has made our season, so we really need our home form to improve if we are going to struggle away to the likes of QPR and Norwich. Just being realistic, we won 0-1 against 10 men, look what Andy Reid said on Radio 5:
"West Brom have not done too badly since the goal. I have been disappointed with Tottenham as they have just sat back, but you never know what can happen.
"West Brom are there for the taking but Spurs are just content to get men behind the ball."
after earlier saying:
"Gareth Bale cut inside on his tremendous left foot and gave Ben Foster no chance. That goal was just a matter of time.
"It is attack v defence at the moment. The stupidity of what Goran Popov did is that his team-mates are suffering against 11 strong Spurs players.
"I think Spurs will be two or three up very soon."
It would be nice for a spurs side to kill off a game more often, but at least we got rid of that curse of conceding goals and dropping points in the last few minutes (it's been the other way round)
Our passing today was very good ball to feet for a good 80% of the time limited them to chasing most of the time or balls over the top.
Yes the sending of made a difference but maybe not as major as it could have been and Popov was a stupid arse for getting sent off that way and Clattenburg I think had a great game let the game flow played good advantages.
Good win all round.

Chelsea play Wigan next week they will likely win 12-0 or some fucked up shit....
in more exciting news Everton go to Old Trafford and Woolwich go to Sunderland. Let's hope we beat France.
The awkward moment for Kyle Walker when I was more comfortable having Gallas at right back than him.
Who cares what Andy Reid has to say????
I do love this magical world where teams batter the opposition 5-0 every week........the reality is the nearly all games are won by fine margins.
