Keeper signing could be imminent

The names of two goalkeepers feature heavily this morning and while some papers are suggesting that Spurs will make an improved bid for French international Hugo Lloris, others are claiming that any approach for Jack Butland will be rebuffed.

Some papers were suggesting that Tottenham were going in for both Lloris and Butland in an attempt to overhaul their ageing keeper list at the club.

A cagey first half in which Spurs had the better chances. Rafa had a header cleared off the line by Terry, and hit the post a bit later on after Ade failed to turn in the simplest of crosses.

Then all of a sudden Chelsea hoof the ball up to Drogba who holds off Gallas, turns him easily and lashes it past Cudicini into the top corner.

You will wake up this morning and read the focus on the controversial second Chelsea goal yesterday at Wembley but do not let that detract from a fantastic Chelsea performance and result that sees us score five and set up a date with Liverpool on May 5th in the final!.

I said before the game that in this one it was literally all or nothing, explained how I saw weaknesses in Tottenham's formations with huge gaps between their defence and midfield that could be exposed and stated that Chelsea have the big game experience in our squad which could be key to getting the right result!

Very good news for Tottenham fans.

Finally, I am writing about a football match. Not a good match but a match nevertheless.

Sidelined for almost the whole season in favour of Heurhelo Gomes, the 37 year-old veteran keeper has arguably gone beyond the call of duty when asked to stand in for Heurhelo Gomes for two brief periods during the season when the No. 1 was hit firstly with a match ban and then more recently was ruled out with a back injury.

Starting today we'll have a look at some of the players in the squad and consider whether it's been a good season for them or whether it's maybe time for them to move on.

Why we’ve never had a better chance of beating Manchester United

Tottenham belatedly kick off their Premier League campaign tonight with a visit to champions Man United. The record books imply that this will be three points in the bag for United, and Spurs have been on the receiving end of some shocking decisions at Old Trafford in recent times.

Roy Carroll must still be wondering how that linesman didn't allow the Pedro Mendes goal to stand, and the farcical goal Nani scored last season did appear a little harsh on Gomes, even though the unpredictable Brazilian did play his part.

Although many would love a go at managing Tottenham, Harry Redknapp's current predicament is unlikely to arouse much envy at the moment. Tax evasion allegations aside, the gaffer's biggest headache regarding the club is a great deal more positive, yet still troublesome.

The problem in question is that of deciding who, out of all of the fantastic players the club employs, gets the nod in the first team in the Premier League, the Europa League, and possibly even the FA Cup, if Harry decides to give it a real go.

Switching from the all-conquering, award-winning, glitz-laden superstars of our rollicking Premiership campaign to the prepubescent kids and want-away squad members on our midweek Europa jaunts is somewhat akin to putting down the Dumas novel in order to tune in to Dogtanian and the Three Muskehounds – nobody in their right mind would dispute that it remains quite magnificent entertainment, but the whole forum is perhaps a little more frivolous.

Rarely do I expect our heroes to lose – away to the Manchester clubs are about the only fixtures this season in which I would regrettably project nul points - but to that roll of dishonour let the epithet "Rubin Kazan.

Those Russians can rightly feel a tad aggrieved at having to slop back off to Siberia with nothing but commemorative THFC thermal underwear, for they had the woolly mammoth's share of possession and chances that night, and are likely to cause us a fair degree of bother on their own patch.
