    What did everybody think about Jonas being made captain? I'm one of his biggest fans and think he gets through a tremendous amount of work and never gives up, but I thought maybe Saylor might have got the armband.

    Interesting, would have preferred it to be Taylor, especially given the fact that Gutierrez won't be in the first XI IMO.

    Cracking result particularly given we weren't at our best and were 2nd best for long periods. Especially first half. Tiote had a bit of a shocker with his passing, Cabaye looks behind but the sign of a good side is winning when not at your best. Given the quality Spurs have we have to be happy. I thought Benni looked really sharp and is our crown jewel. He did leave Simpson badly exposed for the goal but as I used to say with Ginola, you have to accept that to get his supreme quality. Probably wouldn't have mattered but maybe Simpson should have just charged out into the gap he left? Simpson and Santon had excellent games as wide is where they were a danger with Lennon/bale fully sharp and they will rip many a side this year. They were limited well. Santon in particular did well but he still gets caught using his wrong foot on that side on occasion.

    Thought Perchy did really well and Saylor was solid enough bar being wrong footed a couple of times. Just a lack of game time that though and he'll get sharper. Jonas was ok and certainly helped out, fair enough to be captain for me. Saylor just needs to stay fit first and foremost.

    The two front lads were poor truth be told. But with Ramadan out of the way, they and Tiote will hopefully improve. Ba looked best of the three and his goal was sublime. Tiotes passing was crazy! Is Benni not muslim too? I take it he doesn't observe it!!! Honestly this lad is something else, we'll do well to retain his services long term. He was petulant for the pen and should apologise to Demba and Pards but at least he stuck it away.

    All in all I'm delighted and feeling really good for the season ahead. We'll improve ten fold from this.

    Hope you didn't get so happy that you're on the sick list now. You don't qualify for sick pay until you've been a mod for 6 months.
