After conceding early on in the first-half when Peter Lovenkrands had put the visitors ahead,
Barry Robson and Scott McDonald linked up well to level the scoring 20 minutes later. It was a
peach of goal from the 31-year-old who lashed the ball home with a 20-yard left-footed strike. Some
could say it was a goal made in Celtic as both McDonald and Robson showed the Boro fans what they
are capable of in big games.

No Spurs season is complete without at least a couple of major injury crisis. The worst kind are
the type which concentrate on a certain position, while leaving the rest of the squad intact. This
results in at least one player floundering around as a square peg in a round hole, while a bunch of
19 year old youth players sit on the bench wondering when they're ever going to get a game, if the
manager won't pick them even when down to the bare bones.

Gordon Strachan is slowly piecing his own Middlesbrough jigsaw together with the help of a few
of his old pals from yesteryear in Scotland. The 53-year-old endured a few months of mixed
reactions from the Boro faithful but now, after grabbing a few experienced players from north of
the border, it looks like he has transformed our team of over-paid and inexperienced players into
to a workforce of honest lads and it's far from the finished article.

Firstly, I apologise for my long absence from BoroMania.com.
The last time I wrote for this website was in the aftermath of Gareth Southgate's sacking. That
was four months ago - plenty of time for Southgate's successor Gordon Strachan to have imprinted
his mark upon the Middlesbrough squad.

New manager.. check. New players.. check. Lower wage-bill.. check. So this is this the start of
a new era at the Riverside. In a recent interview Steve Gibson declared the need to change the
style of football we play at the club from a technical style of play to a more rugged and
hard-working style.

"Please God, he'll still be here in February. Robbie's here. He is the captain and very
important to us, unless someone comes up with £50m or something for him." Harry Rednapp, January
8th 2010.
It's no wonder that Harry has a reputation for being a bit shady. When he first came to Spurs I
was really impressed by how upfront he was, until I realised that none of his soundbites were worth
the breath which they floated towards us on.

For anyone wondering if the financial credit crunch had impacted the business dealings of
Premier League clubs, then today was proof that even Premier League teams are feeling the pinch.
The vast majority of moves on the final day of the Januayr transfer window were loan's as teams did
not have the capital to invest in new players.

Adam Johnson has completed his move to Manchester City today for an undisclosed fee as Boro were
one of the busier teams on transfer deadline day. Johnson picks up the number 11 shirt, vacated by
Robinho, and will once again attempt to cement himself in a Premier League first eleven.
Johnson has been in great goalscoring form for Boro this season, but criticism over his
performances at the Riverside stadium have led to doubts over whether he is ready to play at a
higher level.

After Saturday's goalless draw at home to Bristol City in front of less than 18,000 Boro fans,
today's transfer deadline day might be the most important day in Middlesbrough's season if things
go the manager's way.
Gordon Strachan again highlighted the need for goalscorers in the team after seeing his side
waste very good chances against the Robins.

For the first time this season, Tottenham have now gone two games without scoring a goal. In
theory, a home FA Cup tie against a third tier side, should be the perfect game for us to get back
on the goal trail.
Life however, is never that simple. The third tier side that we're meeting are top of their
league and have just knocked Manchester United out of the cup.

This is a big one and not just because both sides could do with a win, after achieving
disappointing results on Saturday.
A win for Liverpool will firmly put us in our place and give them the psychological advantage in
the race for a Champions League spot. A win for us would open up a gap of 7 points and possibly
cost their manager his job.

Where would Tottenham Hotspur's second XI finish in the Premier League? You be the judge. I've
got: Cudicini - Naughton (or Hutton), Dawson, Woodgate, Bale - Bentley, Jenas, Bostock, Kranjcar -
Pavlyuchenko, Crouch.
Is that better than Liverpool's second XI: Diego - Degen, Agger, Kyrgiakos, Fabio Aurelio -
Lucas, Plessis - Benayoun, Voronin, Babel - N'Gog?

Well truth be told I've found this all a little unsettling so far. Top of the league, three wins
in three - and looking good value for it too. This is not the Tottenham I grew up with. The
Tottenham I know and love would consistently let me down. Capitulate from positions of seeming
invulnerability.

Redknapp still keen on spending.
Over 700 Ashes tickets still available Click Here to Buy!
The Tottenham manager travelled to Glasgow to watch the Scotland international in action in
Tuesday night's Champions League qualifying tie with Arsenal.
It is believed that, with much of his budget spent on Peter Crouch and the Sheffield United duo of
Kyle Naughton and Kyle Walker, Redknapp may need to offload at least one player if he is to add
Brown to an already well-stocked central midfield.

Redknapp once again set sights on England International.
The Rumour
SPURS are ready to make a new bid of £21million for England winger Ashley Young.
Boss Harry Redknapp will up his offer by £3m for the 24-year-old star after being encouraged by
Villa's pursuit of Wesley Sneijder, 25.

Done deal.
"Hey Jermain, whats the best route to the Spurs training ground?"
Sebastien Bassong is on the verge of joining Tottenham after Newcastle accepted an
£8million deal.
The France star, who passed a medical on Thursday morning, will answer Harry Redknapp's
desperate search for a defender after losing Jonathan Woodgate, Ledley King and Michael Dawson to
injury.

It was only the China Cup but it still counts as silverware . But on the off chance that we win
another trophy soon we will have to do some training on our acceptance routines. We were all over
the place.We played two matches against opposition that played poorly who by chance we play again
within the month.

Walker for £11million.

So, our first signings of the summer are announced – and rather curiously they are more
full-backs. The trendily-named Kyle Naughton and Kyle Walker – 20 and 19 respectively – may
sound like characters from Starship Troopers, but they are now lilywhites, plucked from
Sheff Utd for anywhere between 5 and 10 mil, depending on which website you trust.

Stop the press: we've finally signed someone.
Not just someone, mind - we've signed two players. Oh yes, we don't do things by halves here at
Tottenham. In a tame, by usual Spurs standards, summer so far, we've finally done what we do best
and laid signature to cheque and forked out a small fortune for a new recruit or two.

After another typical Evertonesque drawn out transfer saga it looks like we will have to admit
defeat in the chase for Kyle Naughton.
I have to admit the whole deal has been blown out of all proportion, he is only a 20-year-old
full-back untested in the Premier League after all.
But given the scarcity of genuine transfer deals this close-season (again!

It seems that Everton target, Kyle Naughton has joined Spurs after Everton refused to match
Spurs' offer, even though Sheff Utd had granted Everton permission to speak to the player, only to
have that permission rescinded after Spurs trumped it.
The player was apparently very keen to join Everton and had even begun searching for houses in
the area.

While David Moyes did not mention him by name, seems the mainstream media believes Moyes statements
two nights ago at the Everton shareholder's forum made it clear that Joleon Lescott will not be
leaving Goodison.
"I have already said there will be no players sold at Everton and I do not feel I need
to say any more"
"The board have never sold a player from me, it will only be at my discretion.

The Liverpool Echo is reporting some good news for Evertonians on the Kyle Naughton signing front.
According the a report, Moyes is set to meet with Naughton to finally hammer out a deal to finally
bring the young defender to Goodison. Despite attempts by "Them Durty Spurs" to sabotage the deal,
Naughton's apparent firm desire to play for Everton may yet see the deal through.

Here we go again..
Everton have made great strides in recent years, the obvious improvement is on the pitch as David
Moyes patient re-building is starting to bear fruit. Off the pitch our media relations have got
better, resulting in a increased media profile. Commercial business has also taken an upturn with
the opening of the Everton One and Everton megastores evidence of that.

If Dana White and the UFC need a main event for their next pay-per-view, they should consider
looking across the pond. Seems there is quite the battle brewing over the transfer of Sheffield
United's Kyle Naughton.
After Everton and the Blades agreed to terms last week, it seems that Harry Redknapp and Spurs have
swooped in an offered a larger transfer fee for the 20-year old defender.
