De Futebol

Author: My main man Harry woke up. Redknapp started Jermain Defoe and this paid great dividends for Tottenham. Spurs handled West Ham. Tottenham shut em out 2-0.
Goals by Luka Modric in the 11th minute and Defoe’s powerful volley off his own miss in the 81st sealed the deal for Spurs.
I just love Defoe’s goal. This showed what kind of a player this cat is. He is the real deal.
Defoe received a great pass from teammate Aaron Lennon. Defoe dribbled through three West Ham defenders. He angles to the center of the pitch. He was just above the half circle when he stopped and popped. The keeper Robert Green blocked the shot. The rebound came straight back to Defoe. He nailed the one time volley. This was all she wrote baby.
Jermain Defoe also had a hand in the Modric’s goal too.
I don’t get this. Instead of six points, Spurs only wind up with four points.
Harry me boy this is dumb but you’re the manager not me.
This is why they pay you the big bucks.
To make dumb decisions like this I guess.
The Blues almost stubbed their toes but eked out a 2-1 win over Fulham.
Zoltan Green gave the visitors a 1-0 lead after four minutes. Green’s lethal shot flat out beat the keeper Petr Cech.
Drogba found the equalizer in the 73rd minute. Drogba’s header was deadly.
Two minutes later, the Cottagers succumbed to the pressure when Chris Smalling’s own goal in the 75th minute saved the Blues hide.
I don’t care what Ancelotti tells us the slump is not over. The Blues were as lucky as sin to win this baby. They played like crap.
It could get worse when Drogba, Kalou, and the rest leave for the Africans Cup in January.
Chelsea is a hurting puppy.
This win gives the Blues only two wins in their last six outings.
This is not good.
Birmingham got by Stoke City 1-0.
Blackburn and Sunderland tied at two all.
The first half was a dud but the second half was full of fireworks. Both the Rovers and the Black Cats put on an offensive display.
Darren Bent had the daily double for Sunderland.
Pederson and Diouf ripped the twines for Blackburn.
You gotta love it.
It looks like the guys at Manchester City will play Mancini. City destroyed Wolverhampton 3-0.
Carlos Tevez had the daily double. This cat can flat out take to the rack. Both of Tevez’s goals showed his real passion and power for the game.
Watch out for City looks like they are ready to make a run at the top four.
City is tied with Villa on points. Both sides each have 35 points But Aston Villa is ahead on goal difference. Villa has a plus 13-goal difference. City is a plus 12.
Oh baby shuffle the cards and lest see where the chips fall.

Spurs are a very good team who seek to become one of the ‘elite teams’ within the Premiership. They’re heading in the right direction under Redknapp. I remember him from his playing days with ‘ The Hammers’ ( West Ham).
As to Defoe , it’d be great to see him as a member of England’s World Cup squad next year.
Alan Parkins
How I would love to see Defoe and Rooney leading United’s attack, unfortunately Sir Alex was not interested to get him while possible
