Tottenham vs Liverpool 2-1

First game of the season and what a game it is a carbon copy of the last fixture of the last season where Tottenham visited Anfield and lost at 3-1. This time however, it is the Merseysiders doing the travelling to North London probably in a feat to restore the pride of Merseyside where other North Londoners, Arsenal had beaten Everton 6-1. You could not put a more difficult fixture to begin with and at the back of Spurs fans was last seasons lack of a win in their first eight games resulting in the departure of former manager Juande Ramos. This was not going to be the case this time. tottenham were in the zone in the first half and the likes of Torres and Gerrard were restricted to long shots, Sebastien Bassong and Ledley King in defence doing their best not to dissapoint. It was the home team that took the leade close to half time when a Huddlestone free kick ricocheted off the wall and the rebound was coolly shot past Reina in goal by surprisingly Benoit Assou Ekotto his first goal in senior football. Came the second half and the Spurs resilience was to be tested but the onslaught from Liverpool was at best, awful. Luck was on their side though as right back Johnson broke through the defence and was brought down in the area by keeper Heurelho Gomes. Penalty kick, and Gerrard shot a thunder bolt on to the roof of the net beating the man in goal, 1-1 and Liverpool looked to be getting back into it but this was all shortlived. Another freekick at the other end and Luka Modric put it into the path of basssong who headed it into the net. 2-1 and the score was to remain this way.

New season 09/10

Tottenham have performed tremendously in their pre-season matches. We won the Asia cup in Asia of course, beating hull city, West Ham etc. But, the biggest win I might add was at White Hart Lane where we were visited by none other but the Greek champions Olympiakos. Needless to say, these are a right bunch of seriously awesome footballers. On this day however, they were thoroughly humbled going down 3-0 at the hands of Defoe, new signing Peter Crouch and Pavlyuchenko. I might add that new right back Kyle Naughton had a hand in it as well providing a brilliant assist on the wing.
The lillywhites never cease to amaze me, this may be their year.
