Other Than Attacking And Defense, Spurs Looked Solid

Aug 31, 2003 by

Ahh Tottenham, they never fail to disappoint, do they? With a regularity normally only achieved with Colon Blow cereal they provide us with laughter. My comments, as always, IN ALL CAPS…

Man City 1 – 2 Arsenal

Aug 31, 2003 by

A nice victory today for several reasons.

1. Man City has been playing well and we had to go to their new stadium and face a potent attack with our weakened defense (no Sol).

2. Seaman surely wanted to impress his old employer.

3. Forget the own-goal (which apparently was one of the stranger ones in recent years), Jens Lehmann and the defense didn’t allow a goal.

4. Down early we clawed back to level the score.

5. We kep fighting to get that extra goal.

6. After getting ahead, we didn’t have that lapse and let them back in.

Well done boys.
