Congrats to Spurs defender Steve Caulker (currently on loan to Bristol City), winning November’s Young Player of the Month in the Football League.
Yes he's been brilliant for them all season, carrying on his fine stint while at Yeovil previously. If you check out the City fan boards they rave about the fella.
I think I saw a tweet to someone who said they were stuck at home with the flu? I did ask him once how big Benoit's afro is nowadays, but he didn't reply
I'm surprised how positive the tweets are he gets, considering how many Spurs fans don't rate him at all.
well that twitter account has now been suspended so it appears it may have been a fake so I will take back my excitment

I noticed that it had gone. Seeing as he was tweeting Rio Ferdinand, and they are good mates, you'd have thought it was real. We shall wait and see I guess!
Nothing to do with us, but I'm glad the match is going ahead tonight. It turns out I've got flu and a bacterial infection, so a good footie match is what I need to cheer me up, as long as City don't win obviously!
Thats a handy job done by the toffees tonight. Great result for us
I was going to say the same thing
If we could win the game in hand, it would make the top 5 very interesting. 4 points seperating everyone.
Obviously with United having 2 games in hand, that would put them 10 points clear of us if they won one of those games, but 2nd spot would be more than reachable.
Some dodgy reffing again. Not sure Villa should have had a penalty, but Kabouls goal looked good to me. The sending off was ridiculous, but justice was done in the end.
Vdv is real quality, and another great game from BAE.
Palacios is moving back to form too, so things still on the up.
Well pleased with that. Thought Defoe sending off was harsh , no intent to do the player and was just jumping using his arms like so many players, he was up agaisnt a player a fair bit taller so hes got to get the highest elevation he can. Yellow card at most I felt. Three games out now. :mad:
Scored two lovely goals especially the second, counter attacking at its best. VDV shows again he's probably the coolest finisher at the club.
Great kudos to all the team who worked their knackers off and didn't let the inadequacies of Mr Atkinson get to them. Wilson had another solid game, good to see him returning to the player that we all know he can be.

I agree, didnt think Defoe deserved a red, & yes VDV was great today, i loved the scenes after the whistle too, you can really see how much he cares about the club and team spirit seems high
Hope everybody had a great Christmas and that 2011 is a great year for Spurs fans individually and collectively xX xxxxx
Didn't look to biased when he didn't award Villa a clear penalty.
Never a red card for Defoe though.
Wasn't a clear penalty. It could equally be argued that Heskey fouled Gomes, so the decision was right (ie not a clear penalty). Our disallowed goal was a goal and the ref booked us for tackles that Villa players got a talking to, for. Villa can have no complaints, really.

It was a vital win to keep in touch with the top.
Great, gutsy performance. Fantastic. I hope we appeal the Defoe decision. The ref could have cost us very dearly again.
Pleased with the win and I do agree in that we should appeal the red card because if that was a red, then i'll be partnering VdV up front against Man United on the 16th ..
Talking of VdV, glad he's back as you can see what a difference he makes. BUT, that said, we were still 8 games unbeaten going in to the game without him so it's not like anyone could call us a one-man team because i think we've quite conclusively proven that to be not the case.

I think we should but do appeals ever work? I cant remember the circumstances but i think was Robbie Keane who was blatently wrongly carded, and it wasnt over turned.

Yes, I think it was. Worth a try, I guess. The only people who seem to think it was a red were the officials.

Feel we're in a bit of a stick or twist place with this. If we appeal then he'll be freed up to play tomorrow , and if we win then brilliant. However the worry I've got is with the decision resting with some faceless, nameless nomarks that could quite easily throw it back into our faces like a tiswas custard pie , and give him an extra game ban that would include Man Utd at home.

I see also that O'Hara is close to being fit again as well. I wonder if Harry will play him in the current team?
COYS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love you alllllllllllll
Not on the box now

Never a red card for Defoe though.
We could do with him, when Scholes departs, him and Carrick would do us well I would think.
Only kidding, a very well worked second goal well done.
