This flash game regarding the Thierry Henry handball is great. Play it and let me know what your
high score is in the comments section. I got up to 57.
In other good stuff on the internet, a supporter of League 2 Grimsby Town FC, currently second
from bottom and thus in very real danger of being relegated out of League football all together,
wrote a rant against his club's players which is truly epic and very entertaining.

9-1.
9 f*cking 1.
We actually went and spanked Wigan by nine chuffing goals to one.
And all that after I foretold a nervy 2-1 win? This result could put me out of business (if I
actually made any money from this site).
I'm too delirious to post anything of real value right now so expect more either later on in the
evening or tomorrow, when I'll have hopefully recovered to a suitable state.

It's fair to say that what we've all just witnessed was the kind of performance we've been
looking from spurs this season especially the second half performance anyway. The game took shape
after Lennon's first touch on the ball, at which point he displayed that time off the pitch doesn't
necessarily mean that he wouldn't improve his game.

5 goals
in the second half for Jermain Defoe today in a 9-1 Tottenham win.
9-1.
Roberto Martinez, Wigan manager, welcome to the hot seat.
Jermain Defoe, even if you don't score another goal all season, it looks like you just punched your
ticket to South Africa with the England National Team.

All the results went our way yesterday; so one can assume using Jenas' law that the odds are the
we'll be running into a little trouble today against Lancashire's finest custodians of the game.

The handshake between Rafa Benitez and Mark Hughes at the end of today's 2-2 draw spoke
volumes.
Although a pulsating second half had rescued what looked to be a turgid scoreless draw provided
plenty of the attacking threat both sides possess, their frustrated expressions bore the knowledge
of all too familiar frailties and failings that continue to cost their respctive sides.

A difficult one to call, this. Wigan are an unpredictable bunch. Since arriving at the DW in
June- with the gait of a man still owning two good hips- Roberto Martinez has laboured somewhat in
coaxing momentum into a side who, twelve months ago, were brimming with the stuff.

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.

Birmingham City-Fulham
Birmingham has picked up the pace over the last three weeks and have not lost a match over the

into this one playing about the best soccer they have played all season.

We're doing well. We're fourth in the league with a few weeks before the winter transfer window
and Christmas. But it's hard not to feel that there's a anxiousness about all of it, and that with
our current lack of creativity and consequential goals mean that as fans we always feel that we're
surfing the crest of a wave comprised of excrement.

Seasoned Spurs fans will pick out with ease the errors in the following preview. 'Tottenham have a

Back to some real football this weekend with the return of the Premiership and the arrival of
Wigan at White Hart Lane. It's just a shame we have to wait till Sunday! I'll be at the O2 for the
tennis unfortunately, but I'm hopeful of arriving home to a positive result and lots of goals.
It's another one of those games that on paper, you'd fully expect Tottenham to win.

In what seems to be a classic case of that old expression (translated here for the benefit of
all our readers) known as 'Keeping the Mouth', Wenger's masterstroke forward has been done in by
those devious Italians.
And so it happens.
There's a reason why the knowledgeable football fan thinks 59 times on an average before calling
Arsenal title contenders.

This Sunday was fairly familiar for me. I was sporting a cracking hangover and woke up wondering
what happened the previous night. The âBig Clash' of the day, as usual, didn't match the hype
that it was given. Patrice Evra failed to remember he's a great left-back against Chelsea and an
angry Scotsmen made more comments about a referee.

This time yesterday Chelsea and Man Utd were heading onto the pitch for the second half at
Stamford Bridge. Forty-five minutes later, a slightly anti-climatic encounter was over and a one
nil win for Ancelotti's men represented their most significant â if below par - display of the
season.
Manchester United fans are choosing to take an awful lot of positives from the fact that their
below strength side managed to play so well.

The number of football podcasts that are available on iTunes is staggering. In terms of quality,
it's definitely a case of the good, the bad and the ugly. But if you're a football supporter of a
Premier League club, you may find the following list helpful of the official podcasts that are
avalable for each club (well, most of them there are still some Premiership clubs who are living in
the dark ages).

Remember, Remember, blah blah November.
Apart from Bonfire Night and Thanksgiving (for you Americans only) what else makes November
stand out? You see, it turns out that Arsene Wenger doesn't like November. Are we going to jump on
this revelation and facebook 'like it' ?
The reasons for Wenger's dislike of this month are down to "the volume of games" which make it
difficult to maintain the fitness levels.

Robin Van Persie
Van Persie was the Gunners go-to-guy in the Match of the Week as Arsenal defeated Tottenham
3-0. Van Persie would score twice in the critical match and the result continues to push the
Gunners towards the top of the league table. Van Persie has seven goals and six assists on the
year putting him in the top five in total points of all Premier League players this season.

Roughly a quarter of the way into the new season and the Big Four have experiences vastly

touch, defence shored up.

Is there hope for Pompey? Maybe if you're an eternal optimist. I just like to think of it as
something that Portsmouth fans can reminisce about next season when they are taking the Coca Cola
Championship by storm. That is just where the state of Pompey football is at the moment. One 4-0
victory is not going to suddenly turn things around for the better, but for that to happen,
Piquionne and Dindane are going to have to put in these types of performances week in and week
out.

Arsenal handed Tottenham Hotspur a critical 3-0 loss in our PLTO Match of the Week. The winÂ

with the loss.

Following Liverpool's crushing 3-1 defeat at the hands of a determined Fulham side, even more
questions are being asked of Reds manager Rafa Benitez. The Spaniard finds his team in sixth place
in the table, with an astonishing five losses already on the season.
Following Liverpool's poor defeat, former Liverpool star Ronnie Whelan has suggested that time
is running out for Benitez.
