The Norwich fans seem to be quite confident about the game against us. Whether it's genuinely
because they are doing pretty good for a team that's just come up from the championship and are
scoring lots of goals. Or whether its because they just haven't come up against us in a while,
either way, they have a good feeling about this.
Naughty Naughton Norwich full-back Kyle Naughton picked up the most sensible booking of his career
during last night's pulsating 2-2 draw with Wolves. Naughton received his fifth yellow card of the
season to earn himself an automatic one-match ban. That rules him out of the Boxing Day clash with
Tottenham.
The club announced over the weekend that reserve players Jake Livermore and Tom Carroll had both
signed new contracts that would keep them at White Hart Lane until 2016.
Both have featured heavily in our Europa League campaign although it may have been a surprise to
note on the club announcement that Jake had featured in 18 out of 21 games this season.
Am I dreaming? If I am long may it continue! everyone's buzzing with positivity and we have our
beloved Spurs back. I'm no longer looking across London and asking ‘why can't we play like that'
or bemoaning the fact that we can't we grind results out like United.
From front to back we are functioning as a top class team; Brad Friedel is showing us that life
begins at 40!

Norwich City 1-2 Arsenal Premier League 19th November 2011
Another two goals from the unstoppable Robin van Persie (he now has 31 in the league in 2011)
were enough to seal yet another victory for a reviatlised Arsenal side at Carrow Road.
Milwaukee Marquette senior forward Joe Naughton has one more prep soccer game to play
this year.
Naughton was one of 40 senior boys soccer players across the country selected for the inaugural

Aston Villa 3-2 Norwich City Premier League 5th November 2011
A good old-fashioned five-goal thriller unfolded at Villa Park on Saturday, with the home side
coming out on top courtesy of their in-form forward line.

Norwich City 3-3 Blackburn Rovers Premier League 29th October 2011
Under-pressure Rovers' boss Steve Kean saw his side come within a whisker of securing a
hard-fought victory at Carrow Road on Saturday.
Goals from the ever-impressive Junior Hoilett, Yakubu and Chris Samba looked to have given the
visitors their first away win of the season.

Norwich 'keeper John Ruddy will have done his England prospects no harm at all with a man of the
match performance at Anfield on Saturday. The 24-year0ld kept the visitors in the game, both early
on and at the death to earn Paul Lambert's side a superb point.
Liverpool and Norwich will both look to build on some encouraging recent results when they lock
horns at Anfield on Saturday evening. Kenny Dalglish's Reds have bounced back from a couple of
defeats in September to re-establish themselves in fifth place in the Premier League. Having beaten
Wolves and Merseyside rivals Everton, they drew 1-1 with Manchester United last Saturday after
being pegged back by Javier Hernandez's equalizer.
Aston Villa right-back Alan Hutton has hit out at the way Harry Redknapp treated him during his
three-year stay at White Hart Lane and described the club as a demoralizing place for many
players.
Hutton, who moved to Villa Park this summer, has enjoyed featuring regularly for Alex McLeish's
side but ahead of today's visit to QPR, the Scotland international made it a point to criticize his
former club.

As noted in the first helping of the TSG Barclay's Premier League
preview, last year saw at least nine teams threatened by relegation entering April, so we're taking
liberties in suggesting that the following five teams will be unequivocally safe.
A couple of weeks ago we looked at some of the younger players in the Spurs set up and argued as
to whether they should be sent out for further loan spells or whether the time had come to give
them a chance in the first team squad.
While we considered Harry Kane, Andros Townsend and John Bostock, Jake Livermore was overlooked
– largely because it seemed he was on the verge of joining Rangers on a season long loan.
It goes without saying that any team that gets promotion to the Premier League needs to look to
strengthen their squads from minute one to survive in the top flight. When Norwich's Paul Lambert
acquired the services of England Under 21 International Kyle Naughton on loan recently, he had
amassed nine signings this close season.
Spurs have confirmed the loan of Kyle Naughton to Norwich in a deal which should see him play at
Carrow Road for the whole of 2011-12.
The agreement will come as a relief for fans of the right back who had been spotting rumours
linking him with a permanent move to Aston Villa. We all felt however, that Tottenham were not
interested in losing the player and that's been confirmed with this deal.
It seems that while Alex McLeish is desperate for a right back to help in his new reign at Villa
Park, he is determined to take that man from Spurs. Having been told that Kyle Walker was
unavailable, there were strong rumours that he was after Alan Hutton and Spurs fans rejoiced.
However, there has been no news on that front for some time now.
Final Score: Tottenham Hotspur 1 (Van der Vaart 17)
Orlando Pirates 1 (Jele 40)
Spurs Line up: Friedel; Naughton(Walker 45); Kaboul(Dawson 45); Khumalo; Rose;
Bentley(Lennon 45); Palacios(Corluka 45); Modric(Jenas 60); Bale(Kranjcar 60); Van der Vaart(Keane
45); Defoe (Pavlyuchenko 45)
Spurs took to the pitch for their second game of the Vodacom Challenge to take on South African
champions Orlando Pirates.
Given that Leicester shipped six and four goals against Portsmouth and Norwich respectively prior
to Sven's appointment last season, it's perhaps no surprise that the Swede has since ring fenced
much of his not inconsiderable budget for shoring up the Foxes' defence. Sol Bamba, Ben Mee, Kyle
Naughton and Patrick van Aanholt were each brought in by Eriksson last term as Leicester's new
owners
Uncanny Have you ever heard of Hildegarde Naughton? Nope, us neither. But that doesn't mean we
cannot appreciate the beauty of this lookalike. Apparently, she is a Fine Gael politician in
Ireland but from now on most people will simply know her as 'that politician who looks like
Fernando Torres'. Spotted on @Doyler9
Tottenham are facing battles to retain players throughout the squad and while all the news seems
to pertain to Luka Modric today, there are rumours that Spurs will be offering new deals to the two
Kyles – Walker and Naughton – in an attempt to warn off potential suitors.
Both players impressed last season while on loan and both of their host clubs, Aston Villa and
Leicester City respectively were rumoured to be preparing bids.

As Gareth Bale was picking up his PFA gong last night, Kyle Naughton made it into the
Championship team of the season after his consistent performances for Leicester City.
The 22 year old has impressed at Filbert Street and the reward acknowledges the potential that
this player offers.
Cameron Lancaster is the latest of our young players to go out on loan and he will be playing at
League One side Dagenham and Redbridge for the next month.
Many of our youngsters have made an impact at their host clubs this season. Harry Kane, Tom
Carroll and Paul Jose Mpoku have impressed at Orient, Kyle Naughton is performing well at Leicester
and of course Kyle Walker has been called up by England after impressive displays at Aston
Villa.
A young Spurs XI triumphed over a Reading side at Spurs Lodge yesterday as they edged the game
2-1.
Spurs goals came in the first 15 minutes as first Dean Parrett and then Ryan Pritchard took us
into a 2-0 lead. We couldn't press home our advantage however, as Reading scored late to leave
Spurs hanging on for the win.
Elm Grove Soccer Club's Under-17 boys team won all three of its matches at the Jefferson Cup
last weekend in Virginia, getting three goals apiece from Nico Bartolomeo
(Pewaukee) and Sam Novak (Milton).
Bartolomeo and Joe Naughton (Milwaukee Marquette) scored in a 2-1 win over New
York's Massapequa SC on Friday, and Bartolomeo had the lone goal in a 1-0 victory over the
Pennsylvania Classics on Saturday.
There was no action for the first team this weekend but there were plenty of run outs for the
loanees and three were on target for their host clubs.
Andros Townsend has made a promising start to life at Millwall and scored in their 3-0 win over
Burnley that keeps them in the hunt for promotion.

Wayne Routledge Makes Championship Team of the Week.
Aston Villa have completed the loan signing of Kyle Walker, Tottenham's young
right back signed from Sheffield Utd about 18 months ago, before being promptly loaned back and
then playing at QPR on loan this season. He'll be on loan with Villa until the end of the season, I
don't know yet if there is any option to make the move permanent.
