For those of you tuning in on Internet Explorer vision today, welcome back. For the
rest of you, well, I can only send my condolences that you weren't around to see this website on
its arse for two days. Flapping around like a half-dead sea bass on the deck of a boat. We've fixed
it now. And when I say we, I of course mean someone else.
Steven Pienaar's work permit has come through and he is straight into the squad for the
Newcastle game tomorrow.
Spurs have fresh doubts over Wilson Palacios and Benoit Assou-Ekottu who are struggling with
knee injuries and will definitely be without longer term absentees Tom Huddlestone and Ledley
King.
In a curious quirk of circumstance it transpired that neither I nor my avidly Spurs-supporting
chum Ian could earlier this week recall, off the top of our heads, the identity of this weekend's
opponents. Such was the importance of last week's game against Man Utd that everything thereafter
paled into insignificance, at least temporarily.
