Hmmm, bank holiday here and in the UK, I believe. Which is kind of annoying because I wanted to
ring up my bank today and complain about something but I suppose it'll have to wait.
It means things are fairly quiet with not much in the way of fall-out from the Birmingham game
and little written about City just yet.
It's rare for Spurs not to have a midweek match these days, so with the senior side taking a
break from action, the spotlight fell on the youngsters as a Spurs XI defeated Crystal Place 4-2 on
Tuesday, with new signing Bongani Khumalo making his first appearance in a Tottenham shirt.
Spurs' strikes were shared between Cameron Lancaster and Ryan Mason after a frenetic first
twenty minutes which saw four goals fly in.
The unarguably talented David Bentley has joined Birmingham City on loan until the end of the
season. Capped by his country, the former Arsenal youngster has shown promise in the past but has
not lived up to the expectations placed on his shoulders. I am confident in saying in fact that
Bentley will be frustrated that he hasn't lived up to his own expectations.

The OFC Under-17 Championship final has been won by tournament hosts New Zealand for the fourth
time in the nation's history following their 2-0 win against Tahiti. A 2-0 scoreline was also
sufficient for the Solomon Islands to claim third place in their play-off against Vanuatu.
Both of the goals came in the first half for New Zealand who have won the last three tournaments
all at the expense of today's opponents Tahiti.
Earlier this week Birmingham City pulled off a major victory to book a trip to the Carling Cup
final at Wembley, and now it appears the Blues are set to revamp their front line. The
Independent is reporting that Alex McLeish is set to clinch a deal for Nigerian international
Obafemi Martins, who has had a less than stellar time at Rubin Kazan.
