    I thought Defoe was outstanding, a definite 9 out of 10 performance. His second goal was worthy of Greaves at his best, and that's about as high as you can go in the Spurs pantheon.

    Cheers, Spurf.

    It was fantastic to see them, and I couldn't believe my luck they happened to decide to play right where I'd planned to go, when I planned to go there. Kismet. It was all new to me, so I enjoyed and was surprised by the togetherness of the fans and things like the players saluting their support. So, wonderful experience for both me and Susan, my wife, who's as big a fan as I am. We're planning a trip to London next year, and would love to see a particularly big game (Arsenal?) though I don't know how hard/expensive it is to get tickets for a big game like that.

    The game itself was not a great one, due to the heat (95 F, 35 C) and Liverpool's determination to play negatively rather than being embarrassed. The standouts were A-E and Gyfie, especially A-E. He took the ball off every Liverpool player who came anywhere near him, and did it a different way each time, looking as if he was just playing around for fun. LOL. The highlight of the day was probably Gerrard getting a yellow for hauling down a Spur (couldn't see who) who'd taken the ball from him and was heading for open field.

    'Slate' is a bit over exuberant imo! <laugh> Anyway, before your head doesn't fit through the doorway!, perspective, Reading on a bad day, I need to see him waltz through United first, I know he has a few weeks ago...wasn't wearing the right shirt then though. :) I'd also like to see him impose himself and run a game.

    Arsenal at home isn't impossible but it'll be a bit of a lottery. Assuming you're booking flights in advance you'll need a membership(£47) to gauruntee a ticket for a normal game. Without a membership you might be all right waiting for the tickets to go on general sale but to avoid the risk of it selling out before they go on GS it might be an idea to give the Ticket Office a ring to see if there's anything they can do to make sure you get tickets.

    To do that without even breaking his stride !., 'Simply delightful'. He is a fantastic player to watch when in form.

    Huddlestone takes out nearly half of Reading's outfield players by basically doing nothing:
