36, 070 attended Sunday's Premiership match betwixt Tottenham and Chelsea. 16 years have the Hotspur faithful waited to beat the Blues at White Hart Lane. M. Dawson received the first booking of the match. He also scored his first goal of the season ten minutes after Claude Makelele netted a spectacle half-volley: steak-dinner. Both of the Prem. clashes watched today were voraciously paced. But the London Darby is later...
Robbie Keane spurred the winner to Aaron Lennon, whispered Chelsea target. The Irishman streaked down the left flank, left Khalid Boulahrouz seated with a marvelous bit of skill, crossing at the touchline. A driven ball taking a fortuitous bounce was collected and finished with composure by Lennon's yellow boots, past Hilario dressed as a crow. "The boy had one chance in the game and finished it perfectly. He missed so many openings last week at Watford, but this time he finishes so well on his left foot and you can't explain how he was so clinical this time. It was a special moment for Aaron," Martin Jol. That was the 52nd. Come the 71st, Steve McClaren among others saw skipper John Terry red carded. Martin Jøl's side claws three points as referee Graham Poll blows. Ironically, Mourinho was seen smiling at this game. He now may face FA hot water claims a Setanta article with an erroneous headline. Tottenham pencil in at 10th.
The spectacle of the day was not Marlon Harewood's yellow carded celebration, however. But the shoving match between Arsene Wenger and Alan Padrew. West Ham manager, Padrew, wears his emotions on his sleeve; chewing a bottom lip in anticipation or tapping his outstretched wristwatch. Apparently the Arsenal boss was upset by Padrew who later said, "It was shame because it was a tense game and we were under lot of pressure. I was celebrating the goal, that was all basically." The Hammers move up to 15th, below Man. City.

Lennon scored on Hilario of Chelsea, not Lehman, but other than that, great writing hobbit
classic sambo, always drinking that hatorade. In all seriousness though this might have been the game that saves Tottenham's season. They've been playing miserably in domestic matches since the beginning of the season, and have played their best footy in UEFA cup ties. Hopefully this top form is here to stay, as Lennon and Keane and company make sweet music together. I think Martin Jol is a top 3 manager in the Prem, behind Sir Alex and Mourinho, so can the big Dutchman get his boys up for the campaign. Surely the Carrick hangover is over now, but can Spurs make a run at the top four? Or will the Chelsea win act like a pair of Edgar Davids eyewear: all bark with very little bite.
hatorade... always goes down smooth
but you gotta reserve YOUR hatorade steven when talking about Davids. C'mon, how can you hate on the pitbull?
Don't get me wrong, I love the pitbull. Always have. But for my money, Tottenham let the wrong midfielder go in Carrick, even though Manchester United ridiculously overpayed for him. Plus let's face facts Sambo: what has Davids done since coming to England? Maybe a goal. End of argument. For sheer presence and recognizibility, if that word even exists, Davids is the coolest Dutch international since some guy named Ruud. Or Arjen but he plays for the Evil Empire. Definetly not Robin he needs to lay off the hair products.
