With more sub-plots than an Agatha Christie murder mystery we survived a hectic game at Portsmouth to emerge with all three points. Harry despite press rumours escaped the ordeal intact and only two of the six players with Tottenham connections were sent off. Man.City failing to win at Wigan means that we maintain our third place for another week, the first time we have been in such a position Click to continue reading...

I have a respectable 95 points with Geovanni and Sonko to play. Neal wrapped up his week at 105.� The totals were mostly thanks to strong midfield picks.� Neal fielded Krancjar, Fabregas, Prince-Boateng and Bilyaletdinov while I got points from Dunn and Prince-Boateng as well.How did you do this weekend and who was it that did the business for you?

Not so much a game of two halves as a game of two thirds and a third third. We seemed to be cruising serenely after an hour or so – but then that wouldn't be the Tottenham way, would it? Cue a wild thump of the self-destruct button, the halving of our lead and a daft sending off. The three points were eventually achieved in slightly nerve-jangling, harum-scarum style.

Guingamp were held to a 1-1 draw at home to a well organized Dijon side at home last night.

Injuries to key players meant that Zvunka had to make some changes to the team for the game, the most notable being Gilbert Imbula Wanga who made his first professional appearance for the club.

Zvunka also decided to play two strikers, bringing Mathieu Scarpelli in to partner Mustapha Allaoui up-front.

Guingamp are back in action tonight after the international break and look to end their poor run of form with a win over Dijon FCO.

Dijon are level on points with Guingamp in the L2 table and have not won in the league since they beat Bastia on the 11th September.

Guingamp's most disappointing aspect this season has been the lack of goals Mathieu Scarpelli is this seasons leading scorer with just 2 goals, but he has only started 5 games this season.

Pompey picked up some Saudi Oil money today as Saudi tycoon Ali al-Faraj bought 90% of the financially stricken club from Sulaiman al-Fahim.
Al-Fahim, of Abu Dhabi, bought the club just 44 days ago - but he's out and the 40-year-old al-Faraj is in.
So, what does this mean? Well - for starters, not much on the pitch: Pompey may have a large arsenal of cash to use in the January transfer window - but they'll have to stick with their hodgepodge of new signings and on-loan stars (O'Hara 4. Click to continue reading...

Am Freitag erhielt HSV-Verteidiger Jerome Boateng eine ganz besondere Nachricht: Bundestrainer Joachim Löw hat ihn für die nächsten Länderspiele gegen Russland am 10. Oktober sowie gegen Finnland vier Tage später berufen.

Hamburg remain in control of the top, Hertha remain in control of the bottom and with his wins over Bochum, Dortmund and the Schalke fans Felix Magath is now in total control of the Ruhr Valley.

Battle Chess. When a commenter on one of Germany's public broadcasters attempted to summarize and categorize the match between Hamburg and Bayern, he kept talking about this game being for tactic freaks, but with an uncertainty to his statements, as though he didn't really know what was going on and didn't want to admit to it.

Hull survived last season due to the incompetence of others despite their own best efforts at relegation.

In all my years as an AIK supporter there have been two particular signings that have left me ecstatic and wondering how in the world AIK managed to sign players of such high class.

Well, it's not time to wrap up the whole tournament yet, but at least everything that happened since the opening match against Spain. In short: Germany made it to the final (against England) after beating Finland (2-0), drawing England (1-1) and beating Italy (1-0).

May is the dawning of the much-heralded ‘business end to the season', the fitting climax to the sweat, tears and bloodshed which have been sacrificed to guarantee a euphoric finale.

Goals:

What followed was fitting; a comprehensive feast of flowing football saw Liverpool sweep Blackburn aside with ease.

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has hinted that young striker Fraizer Campbell may get a Premier League chance. That is for two reasons. Firstly, he is a very promising striker who played a significant part in Hull's promotion to the Premier League last season whilst on loan at the KC Stadium and secondly, because by Sir Alex's own admission, United only have Carlos Tevez and Wayne Rooney as other strikers at the club!
