With the international breaks at an end for a fair few months now, Tottenham have an opportunity to
lock their collective mind on continuing their impressive progress in the Premier League. Wigan
visit the Lane tomorrow afternoon and as enigmatic as the visitors appear to be at times, Spurs'
slick passing should be more than a match for them and provided the strikers can locate their
specially made shooting boots, there could be goals in the offing.

Harry Redknapp wants to sign Andrés D'Alessandro, who was at one point going to be the
new Diego Maradona, then looked like he might not really be up to much, then looked really good for
a bit (at Pompey), then went to Brazil to play for Internacional.

In August 1992, on the opening day of the inaugural Premier League season, 22 teams
took to pitches up and down the country with just 11 players born outside the British Isles named
in the starting line-ups. 17 seasons later and with the foreign invasion showing no signs of
slowing down, English born players have become a minority in their own top flight.

Aston Villa v Bolton
That was terrible loss to West Ham on Wednesday's night for Villa and they will be looking to get
back on the winning track against a Bolton tea, that just has to be glad that they are not playing
Chelsea again. It is clear that Chelsea, Arsenal and Man Utd are the class of the Premier
League.

This week's episode focuses on the Premier League relegation battle (it's already started), and
the spotlight is on Portsmouth (who lost their first seven games, just beat Wigan 4-0 and are still
bottom of the table) and Hull (who have been lurching from weakness to weakness, but still have
faith in their unfortunately named manager).

Portsmouth were sitting at rock bottom after seven Premiership rounds and they
had always been expected to struggle after they could only reinforce the squad in the dying moments
of the transfer window due to the uncertainty surrounding the club. Nevertheless,
Paul Hart's team have shown a massive improvement in the last few weeks having taken no less than
seven points from last four games.

Pompey mount revival. Following a miserable season start of 7 losses, conceding
13 goals and netting just 3 in the process, the South Coast club, rooted in last place, were
everyone's early season pick for relegation. But how quickly things change in football. In the last
4 matches, Portsmouth have scored 10 goals, conceded just 2 and amassed 7 crucial points
on the way to Premiership survival.

Portsmouth fans have had very little to cheer about this season. A record-breaking
losing streak to kick-off their campaign coupled with persistent ownership rumours has seen
Pompey become every punter's bet for the drop. Goals have ultimately been the problem on
the South Coast, with the club netting only 5 in 10 matches prior to Saturday's Wigan
encounter.

As per usual there was the pre match lip coming from the Lane. Robbie Keane AKA pointy shouty
Leprechaun bloke was full of it. Apparently Tottenham have more depth than Arsenal. The truth?
Tottenham have less depth than my local swimming baths. What a silly boy.
Harry Redknapp is just as bad.

Well 2nd in the Championship - which is much the same thing.
OK we had played an extra game to most of those around us, so could only expect it to last a few

But even after this afternoon's play we are still third.

Phil Brown, ex manager and current suntan oil salesman?
The Independent says that Adam Pearson's shock arrival from Derby means that current chairman
Andy Duffen and Phil Brown's biggest ally might be on his way out. If that happens then Brown's
tenure at Hull is in danger. The abrasive Hull coach has had a unsettled relationship with some
players and was booed by fans when he took off Stephen Hunt against Portsmouth.

I did not think that any team could outdo Newcastle for their off-field antics, but Portsmouth
is determined to outdo even Mike Ashley. Portsmouth's season has descended yet further into chaos
with news that the Premier League have hit them with a transfer ban.
The Premier League confirmed reports by the DailyMail that they had taken the drastic action
because of Portsmouth's debts to other English clubs that remain outstanding.

You'd have thought that even the publicity junkie that is Sulaiman Al-Fahim would keep as low a
profile as possible, after his dismal, embarrassing failures at Portsmouth, but no. Having done a
round of self-justificatory chats with the UK press, who didn't balk at pointing out the flaws in
every argument he put forward, he returned to the happier, compliant hunting ground of the Arabic
press for his latest lecture to the masses.

To be a Portsmouth fan. Doesn't look terribly fun at the moment, does it? Despite Aruna
Dindane's best attempts to shoo them away with his skyward finishing, the dark clouds are most
certainly roaming down at Fratton Park; the whiff of saline sea air has been replaced by one of
fear and loathing.

Harry Redknapp gave Jermain Defoe a dressing down in front of his team mates after his sending

already warned him to cool it at half time.

Carlo's ‘cross' with the defence. What do Abdoulaye Faye, Titus
Bramble, James Collins, and Richad Dunne have in common? They've all scored
against Chelsea from crosses into the box. Totaling half of Chelsea's goals
conceded for the season, 8 in 8 matches, Carlo Ancelotti must address his teams
crossing deficiency before their title challenge resumes against high-flying, Lancashire derby
winners, Blackburn.

Not so much a game of two halves as a game of two thirds and a third third. We seemed to be
cruising serenely after an hour or so – but then that wouldn't be the Tottenham way, would it?
Cue a wild thump of the self-destruct button, the halving of our lead and a daft sending off. The
three points were eventually achieved in slightly nerve-jangling, harum-scarum style.

If the draw at Bolton a few weeks back was a game the Tottenham of old would have certainly lost,
then today's hard fought 2-1 win down at Portsmouth was definitely in the same bracket. Ahead
through a well placed header from Ledley King and a marvellously worked goal from Jermain Defoe,
Spurs then contrived to find themselves under overwhelming pressure for much of the second half.

While they have some very average players (including a few of our cast offs), almost anything
can happen in tomorrow's game against Portsmouth. Although Harry might get some love from his old
fans, I'd expect Spurs to be on the receiving end of a seriously hostile reception.
The Portsmouth fans could really carry their players through 90mins and with their win at
Wolves, the return of Avram Grant and the arrival of Ali Al Faraj, the players and the club as a
whole are bound to be in a much more positive frame of mind than they were a few weeks ago.
