Robbie Keane Leaves Ferreira on his bum.


Tottenham Hotspur 2. Chelsea 1.
I couldnt let the week pass without a quick post on a historic game for the club I support. Spurs last took 3 points from Chelsea 16 years ago and it is a small indication of the progress made under Martin Jol that, with both teams playing well, we came out on top. The first twenty five minutes were all Chelsea, and as I watched Makalele hit a sweeet volley past Paul Robinson, I admit I turned the TV off and thought 'OK, that's it then'
Luckily I had the courage to turn the TV back on.
But the players had another idea, and two goals, a red card and 30 minutes later the club had finally beaten an in form top 4 side. It was a great game to watch.

Re the decisions: Terry wrestled Ledley King to the ground and had a set too with Chimbonda and deserved to go off. Lampard tackled like a Shao Lin Monk and the whistle had gone before Drogba scored his second. So the referee was spot on IMHO.

On its own, I know this doesnt mean much unless it is built on, but it is a step foreward. I dont believe there is a premiership glass ceiling and that the top 4 will always be the top 4. Call me a heretic if you want to. But I think Liverpool and Arsenal are not 'as' safe now, as they were this time last week.

WELL DONE SPURS!
