Distraught, saddened, angry. Just some of the feelings I felt when I found out Tottenham had totally capitulated and lost 5-1, at home, to Manchester City.

While it might be surprising coming from an Arsenal fan, Tottenham holds a special place in my heart. The first ever football match I watched live involved Tottenham and Everton. And I remember I supported the team wearing ‘white jerseys’!

Well, To the Lane and Back is the place for you.

It’s a known fact that Lennon wouldn’t have got his chance to showcase his ability had, then Spurs winger, Wayne Routledge not picked up a season curtailing injury against Portsmouth on the opening day of the 05/06 season.

It’s a real shame for Huddlestone that a serious ankle injury last season has, potentially, hampered his chances for Spurs.

‘5th place is about as good as it’s gonna get’ were the words of Redknapp at the end of last season, despite a 4th place finish the year before.

Never have I known a player to cause such divide by one set of fans. Rafael Van see Vaart was hailed as the signing of the season last year as the Dutchman emphatically parachuted into North London, signing on the dotted line moments before the close of the transfer window.

Reports today suggest that Ledley King will play some part in the game against Wolves.

At long last, the international break is over. The transfer window has slammed shut and teams will have to make do with the players they have until January.

As the clock ticked closer to the 11pm deadline last night, most Spurs fans were hoping one last major arrival would be announced before the close of play.
