After another week of second-rate defending it's really no surprise to see that only three
defenders made this week's Team of the Week. It should also not be a surprise to see
certain strikers on the list following their contributions. What may be a surprise is that
this is the first time some of these top-class players have featured in this JBM
segment.
Tottenham's Alan Hutton is desperate for first-team football and since it has been hard to come
by in the last two years since he joined from Rangers, he is hoping to seal a move away from White
Hart Lane if the situation does not improve.
The most significant obstacle in his bid to pursue other opportunities has been the North
Londoners' reluctance to offload the 25-year old in a cut-price deal having acquired him for £9
million from Gers during the January transfer window in 2008.
Tottenham 3 Wolves 1
Now that's more like it. For 77 minutes of yesterday's contest, it looked as if history was cruelly
repeating itself, only this time in slow motion just to really rub in the pain. A raft of missed
chances, a goal down since the stroke of half time and an increasingly desperate performance ensued
as we laboured our way towards an equaliser.

It was a strange game on Saturday in many ways. Wolves came to White Hart Lane as we expected
and put 10 men behind the ball until they scored when they increased that to 11 but we came out
just as many of us wanted them to and fought for every 50/50 ball and passed with precision and
pace.
As if a flight across time-zones was not discombobulating enough, I found myself stepping off
the plane to be greeted by the news that Alan Hutton had scored for us, while Jermaine Jenas had
put in a decent performance and Robbie Keane had started -all of which left me wondering whether I
had flown into a new space-time continuum rather than simply across continents.
A good bourbon. Terminator 2 with surround sound. Scantily clad nubile young women
prancing around AANP Towers. Just a selection of some of the finer things in life, which get the
juices flowing here at AANP Towers, and to this exalted list can be added an evening kick-off at
home to l'Arse.
The Soccerlens Fantasy Football Game is now five weeks old, so it's time to take a look at some
of the best performing footballers. Because Soccerlens Fantasy Football is a week to week game,
we're going to take a look at top 10 fantasy football players based on average points scored per
game played, rather than total points scored in the five weeks of play.
When picking your team for week six of the Soccerlens Fantasy Football Game, then anyone
planning to win the weekly prize money (available to the top three teams in each 11 team
mini-league) should have only one question: Who's hot? If you have a second
question, it should be: Who's not?
Week six of the Soccerlens Fantasy Football Game is over, with my Soccerlens All-Stars team
finishing sixth in our 11 team league, just two points and three places short of a top three finish
and the prize money that comes with it. I was playing at the Silver level this week, which was
$4.99 to enter, with $40 of prize money available.
