In an amazing game tonight, Zambia won the African Cup of Nations after the game with the Ivory Coast ended 0-0 after extra time, and Zambia won the penalty shoot-out 8-7 with the Ivory Coast missing their last two penalties through Kolo Toure and Gervinho. Didier Drogba missed a penalty for the Ivory Coast after 70 minutes when he blazed over the bar.

It. Wasn't. Even. Close.Tottenham 65% possession - Newcastle 35%Tottenham 18(7) Shots- Newcastle 8(3)Tottenham 5 goals - Newcastle 0Saha, in what can only be said to be a dramatic debut, scores 2 before the 21st minute (Assou-Ekoto nets one too inside 5mins). Kranjcar puts Spurs up by 4 before the break and then Adebayor finishes the recently slumping Newcastle in dramatic form at White Hart
[[ This is a content summary only.

In retrospect, after we got over the pain of watching the game, Tottenham looked a very good side yesterday against Newcastle. Danny Simpson tries to tackle Emmanuel Adebayor Of course they were helped big time when most of the Newcastle players started the game seemingly in a deep sleep, and we were two goals down in the [.

Casual lobotomy is one of my less typical weekend pursuits, but I'm willing to hazard that were one to pluck out the respective brains of BAE and Scott Parker, the two would be as dissimilar as medically possible. At one point in the second half yesterday I'm fairly sure Benny executed a scorpion kick, seemingly just to pass the time.

Venue: White Hart Lane. Date: Saturday 11th Feb, 2012. Kick-off: 5.30pm. Referee: Andre Marriner. For Newcastle United, this was a day to forget started poorly, defended poorly, played poorly" Those words uttered by Sir Alan Shearer just about summed up this game for us. To be fair, Alan equally poured lavish praise on the [.

Newcastle were treated to a five star performance from Spurs as we despatched five goals without reply. The first came after some quick passing between Bale and Ade, the latter sending a cross along the six yard box, Benny unmarked on the far side, steamed in and blasted the ball into the net. 1-0
The second goal came after Krancjar controlled the ball with a neat touch and sent Ade down the wing.

Newcastle have done very well in the last two transfer windows, but like everything, that's because of good and thorough planning. Graham Carr - Newcastle Chief Scout Mike Ashley was at the Benton training grounds on Thursday and one of meetings he held, the top priority meeting according to today's Sunday Sun, was on transfers.

Mike Ashley visited Newcastle on Thursday and he was seen at the game yesterday looking happy enough when Newcastle were 5-0 down. Mike Ashley in Newcastle last Thursday That's more than some of us were feeling, after Newcastle's horror show in the first half, but it's only one game and Newcastle are still in 6th place in [.

Alan Pardew has talked to the Sunday Sun and he is able to point to some positives in the second half yesterday, for his Newcastle side. Newcastle were simply no match for Tottenham in the first half, and Harry Redknapp had all his Tottenham players ready for the kick-off yesterday, and they came out of the blocks like the proverbial [.

Nothing was seen of Ben Arfa yesterday, even though Newcastle were hammered 5-0 by Tottenham. Ben Arfa future at Newcastle looks a little murky right now And Alan Pardew played all his substitutes, but Ben Arfa was not one of them, as he gave Shane Ferguson, Dan Gosling and Peter Lovenkrands run-outs in the second half.

We didn't have the heart to put this up yesterday bit let us know who you think the best player was for Newcastle yesterday.

For the second time in four league games Newcastle conceded five goals yesterday. Adebayor looked unplayable yesterday and Saha wasn't bad either And four of those were in the first half at White Lane yesterday, and we conceded five in a similar collapse at Craven Cottage three weeks ago, so where did our strong and tough defense go?

Time to upgrade his statue to silver

If you're a Arsenal fan today, you'll be buzzing. Nothing beats coming from behind and winning by scoring in the final minute of the game. Especially when it's an away game and we weren't firing on all cylinders. Especially when the winning goal was scored by one of the club's greatest ever player.

Tottenham Hotspur 5-0 Newcastle United Premier League 11th February 2012

Harry Redknapp's charges gave their boss the perfect homecoming present, as they presented their exhonerated manager with a superb 5-0 win against Newcastle.

Predictortron ii first week test scores:

Man Utd v Liverpool: predicted 1-0 or 2-1 actual 2-1
Blackburn v QPR: 1-2 actual 3-2
Bolton v Wigan: 1-0 or 2-1 actual 1-2
Everton v Chelsea: 1-1 actual 2-0
Fulham v Stoke: 1-1 or 2-1 actual 2-1
Sunderland v Arsenal: 1-1 (1-2 next) actual 1-2
Swansea v Norwich: 2-1 or 0-0 actual 2-3
Spurs v Newcastle: 1-1 actual 5-0

What do we think then?

Alan Pardew was interviewed by nufcTV after the game and an emotional Pardew said he he would have to take responsibility for the defeat. Alan said he thought 4-42 was too much of an attacking formation, and once Newcastle had let in a couple of goals so quickly we were in big trouble. This is what Alan said.

Newcastle were completely outplayed, outfought and outclassed in the game at White Hart Lane today, and were two down after only 6 minutes, and it got no better, as the Newcastle side were embarrassed and embarrassing they were that bad. This is not the first time Newcastle have collapsed and they did the same thing at Fulham when they conceded five goals during a terrible [.

Thierry Henry came off the bench in his last Premier League appearance for Arsenal this year and capped the occasion off in perfect style with a late stoppage time goal that wrapped up all three points for the Gunners.

In a toughly contested match at the Stadium of Light, James McLean opened the scoring for Sunderland 25 minutes into the second half, when he capitalized on Per Mertesacker's slip to guide the ball past Wojciech Szczesny from an acute angle.

Legend. Arsenal true blue. Competitor. Finisher extraordinaire.

You couldn't write a better script for Thierry Henry to end his England return. An added time goal for the winner against Sunderland. A bookend to the bookend he installed with his instant winner against Leeds. Both Wenger's subs made massive contributions to the victory as Aaron Ramsey scored the equalizer and Andrey Arshavin sent in a pinpoint cross to Henry lurking in front of goal to elevate his leg and guide the ball past Simon Mignolet.

As expected Newcastle will start with the team that was on the field after Leon Best and Ryan Taylor went off injured last week in that first half against Aston Villa. So Papiss Cisse starts up front for Leon Best and will partner Demba Ba , and Gabby Obertan starts on the right wing in place [.

This afternoon's game at White Hart Lane may be the most difficult game Newcastle have through the end of the season. Tim Krul all pressure is on Tottenham today And Tim Krul, who is one of the best goalkeepers in the Premier League this season, has said today there is no pressure on Newcastle, and it's all on Tottenham, [.

Spanish U21 striker Xisco is still on Newcastle's books. Xisco 11 appearances for Newcastle since September of 2008 And the Spaniard keeps picking up £50K/week from Newcastle, and still has almost eighteen months of his five year contact to run. He was signed on the last day of the transfer window in early September of 2008, and through no fault of his own, his signing led to Kevin Keegan [.

We heard about a week ago that Mike Ashley was willing to put another £15M into the development of the youngsters on Tyneside. Mehdi Abeid - top youngster at Newcastle Of course the first thing is to have a good scouting network that can spot top youngsters that can be developed on Tyneside.

Today's game at White hart Lane is a massive game for Newcastle United. And it's not that we will be at full strength today either, since we'll be missing Yohan Cabaye through suspension, Cheick Tiote because he's still at the African Cup of Nations, and Ryan Taylor and Leon Best are both injured with [.

We expect James Perch to keep his position in central midfield alongside Danny Guthrie for today's tough game at White Hart Lane. James Perch will play alongside Danny Guthrie in midfield And that's because Yohan Cabaye serves the third game of his three match suspension for violent conduct, and Cheick Tiote will be playing for the Ivory Coast in the final of [.

When Demba Ba arrived on Tyneside last summer and then started scoring the goals, we found him to be very modest and humble. Papiss Cisse in action against Aston Villa And his Senegal team-mate Papiss Cisse, sensationally signed last month by Newcastle from SC Freiburg for around £9M, seems exactly the same kind of personality, and he has told Newcastle fans [.
