Spurs full-back's fashion statement(s) Cameroon defender Benoit Assou-Ekotto forgot that he wasn't a woman when he booked in for his hair appointment and accidentally order a high ponytail in a sort of bun. Realising his error, he promptly flashed his psychedelic pants to distract the photographers.

Does Australian broadcaster SBS actually want Australians to watch the World Cup? Or does it just want to make them very very angry? Top marks for comedy though.

Spurs all over City like a fast growing fungus. How did they not score?

A clinic in superb goalkeeping by Joe Hart keeps City alive against Spurs. Jermain Defoe Gareth Bale, Tom Huddlestone, and Benoit Assou Ekotto were turned away by some spectacular saves. Then the upright and Vincent Kompany saved two more attempts.

With the season barely a week old, Spurs full-back Benoit Assou Ekotto has already touched the stars and plumbed the depths. I trust the motion sickness will have worn off by kick-off tomorrow. It all began with so much promise. A fine performance against Manchester City on Saturday not only kept us tight and cosy [.

Tottenham Hotspur defender Benoit Assou-Ekotto has launched a stinging attack on team mate Peter Crouch for sleeping with prostitutes.

Crouch went on a stag do in the summer and slept with a teenage prostitute behind the back of his fiancée, who was then two months pregnant with his child.

It's still more than a week away from the end of the current game week, but it's not too early to count the cost of the "hectic festive period" (TM English Football Punditry Ltd) and see what team news is available ahead of the weekend's FA Cup matches.

O jogador camaronês do Tottenham, Benoit Assou-Ekotto, não jogará a Copa Africana de Nações devido a uma lesão que o deixará inativo por cerca de três semanas.
O atleta de 25 anos foi substituído aos 43 minutos do segundo tempo na vitória dos Spurs por 2 a 0 sobre o West Ham pelo Campeonato Inglês, na última segunda-feira, e logo em seguida o clube informou a Confederação Camaronesa sobre a lesão.

inspired performance by the welshman denies spurs

Before the game I didn't consider that Myhill would offer us too many problems; but he managed to single-handedly take a point back north for his club after an amazing performance denied our players of a single goal. Simply put this will be seen as one of the shut outs of the season as chance after chance was saved; including two double saves.

If to dare is to do, I've certainly gone and done it. Despite his great run of form - and amazing fantasy returns - I've sold Gareth Bale. Spurs don't have a game this week because of the FA Cup and Benoit Assou-Ekotto (didn't even have to look that up!) is back from injury. Also, I bought Bale at 5.

Don't get us wrong - we love the World Cup. But a little bit of critiquing won't do any harm 1. People who haven't got a clue about football talking about the World Cup It is nice that people who don't their Assou-Ekotto from their Eboue suddenly find football interesting for four weeks every four years, but [.

Wigan Athletic picked up a much needed win in a tricky away trip to Tottenham Hotspur. Few people if any expected the Latics to take home all three points, but Hugo Rodallega's second half goal sealed a huge win for the away side. Ali Al Habsi was perhaps the man of the match for Wigan as he spurned a plethora of Tottenham chances.

The reputation of modern day footballers has been dragged through the mud more times than Benoit Assou Ekotto has taken an unnecessary risk on a football pitch.

Alex Song and Benoit Assou-Ekotto sat down recently for an interview to discuss the North London derby and to answer some questions about who will win between Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur.

Plus the two players had a chance to play FIFA 11 featuring Spurs against Arsenal, and you'll have to watch the above video to see which team/player won.

Clueless defending

It had to happened someday. Arsenal has had a stranglehold on the bragging rights over North London for many many years in league fixtures. We lost the away record last season and contrived to lose the home record as well this season. We knew this day had to come. As much we would have liked to continue the record to the end of time, the law of average dictates otherwise.

Gareth Bale was interviewed by Absolute Radio Extra's Ian Wright on Saturday (I wonder if he's still wearing that hat?) and made some interesting comments in regards to the form he's showed since breaking into the first team last season.

Wright quizzed the Welsh international on his slow start at Tottenham and remarkable turnaround from almost being loaned out to Nottingham Forest, to tormenting the champions of Europe.
