So another wonderful 3 points for the Spurs.
What I liked about the game this morning (6.30am for me) was how we "bossed" the whole game. First half we should have been at least one or two up, but we kept our patience.
The way we stroked the ball around at times was sublime and the pass from Modric to set Bale away for his supurb second was absolute top class and the run and finish just shows you that Bale is now World Class.
Defensively we untroubled with Gallas and the UNIT Kaboul winning everything in the air. Parker & Sandro ran the game centrally.
There you have it Spurs are playing sexy, silky football. We currently sit 3rd which is well deserved. Can we finish higher, its a tough ask because of the resources the Manc clubs have but personally for me finishing 3rd and Londons TOP CLUB will suit me.
COYS
Chelsea & Goobers are welcome as you will just be looked down upon (see what I did there).

As a very experienced "old Spurs Codger" I would like to add to this. Not enough is ever said on this site about why this team is doing so well and still not quite the finished article.
Ade was absolutely outstanding today charging around the field matching Walkers output/workrate stride for stride. I don't care how bad his misses were. Watch and learn Defoe and Pav.
Having played full back until I was 48 I know just how good Walker and BAE are and today left me in awe.
I have seen a lot of Spurs hero's in mid-field and you'll get one hell of an argument from me if you don't think Modric is right up there.
There is nothing more to be said about Parker but one day Sandros will become a Spurs legend.
Kaboul is the next Ledly King currently on the radar.
Bale is a work in process and who knows what heights he will attain........absolutely breath taking.
But dare I say it? At times there was passing sequences that suggested black and red striped shirts. Realistically the team needs no new players only for the ones we have to believe......... for we are so nearly there.

There is still a lot Of work to be done. Store we are genuine contenders
1. Keep Harry
2. Find a replacement for brad next year
3. Find a top striker in the ade mould and buy them
4. We need a settled back four that means signing a centre half who can play a full season
5. We need cover for our wingers as so much of our play right now goes through them
Having said all that I am licing watching us this year! I just want it to last.....

-----------------------------
Er...... Let's go all out to buy Adebayor! He's been excellent for us and I'd be more than happy if we went for him in January. What's to say we get someone else in who ends up not being as effective?
Of course id like to see us go for Ade and one more but prob not likely! I can just see him carrying on this good form and someone else snaps him up! All that work to get into the CL and then we'll be striker-less!

Agreed khumo, I just don't think we can afford ade...
