Premier League rivals Tottenham and Liverpool sweated out a goalless draw in steamy Baltimore on Saturday.

Spurs came closest to breaking the deadlock at the M&T Bank Stadium three minutes before the interval when Harry Kane flicked the ball to Aaron Lennon, who struck the post from a few yards out.

Both teams were affected by the high temperatures, which took much of the pace out of the match.

A Real spanking: Spurs get torched 4-0

By Shourin Roy on April 5, 2011 9:21 PM | Comments | TrackBacksShare|

The match was lost in the first 15 minutes. Aaron Lennon taken ill before the match was replaced by Jermaine Jenas, Emmanuel Adebayor had scored, and Spurs were reduced to ten men after Peter Crouch was sent off.

The Spurs striker already on a yellow, in one of the most shockingly bone headed displays earned a second yellow when he needlessly brought down Marcelo. The Brazilian had no qualms milking the foul for all its worth and then celebrated wolfishly at the sight of red. Unseemly as this was, Crouch was solely to blame for his undoing. With him gone the rest of the Spurs did not rise to the occasion.

Van Der Vaart continued his sense of entitlement doing little other than mouthing off at the referees and making no one at the Bernabeu mourn his departure. Gareth Bale, he of the 80m price tag was lost on the right initially but came into his own when Harry Redknapp put him back in his familiar position down the left. But it looked like he was short of match fitness not going out gangbuster on Sergio Ramos. Luka Modric was anonymous. It was left to the Spurs defense to limit the damage but Real were not going to oblige.

Adebayor continued his Spurs slaying ways and added another goal. Angel Di Maria and Cristiano Ronaldo also chipped in. Real had 64% of the possession and 11 shots on goal as compared to Spurs one solitary attempt. It was a one way street.

Mourinho brings all his big guns against Spurs

By Shourin Roy on April 5, 2011 9:34 AM | Comments | TrackBacksShare|

Jose Mourinho will risk bringing back Cristiano Ronaldo and Marcelo even as they remain injury doubts. Fans are divided on this issue with half of them urging Mourinho to take his chances and the rest characterizing it as a foolhardy decision. Their Liga aspirations are all but over so they might as well go for broke in the biggest title. It has been 7 years and 12 days since Real played the Champions League quarterfinals.

Real Madrid: Iker Casillas, Sergio Ramos, Pepe, Ricardo Carvalho, Marcelo, Xabi Alonso, Sami Khedira, Mesut Özil, Angel Di Maria, Cristiano Ronaldo and Emmanuel Adebayor.

Many intriguing scenarios. Amongst them - the presence of CR7, Carvalho, and Adebayor who've had success against Spurs while in the Premiership. What will make Pepe lose his cool? And try decapitating his opponent.

In other news, Harry Redknapp slapped a £80m price tag on Bale on the eve of the Real match after the winger expressed his desire to play in Europe. Mmmmmm. The timing is impeccable.

Spurs hoping for repeat performance in more ways than one.

By: Elmesy | March 31st, 2011
    Tweet

bagdesSpurs travel to Wigan on Saturday for an away trip that brings back good memories of last season. As the season comes to a close there is a feeling of deja vu for us spurs fans. Have we not been here before? A boggy churned up pitch at the JJB stadium, Wigan struggling at the bottom while Spurs are fighting it out with Man City for fourth. Of course we have seen this before.

Last season, the situation was almost identical going into the corresponding fixture as Pavlychenko and Defoe grabbed the goals in a three nil win as we ran out comfortable winners.

Roll on twelve months and only a fool would predict an equally comfortable victory this time round, as a stuttering Spurs side are in danger of passing up the opportunity to establish themselves in the top four. Even less of a man would go for Defoe and Pavylchenko to get the goals (or any of our strikers for that matter). With our forwards hitting more blanks than Les Dawson and his chequebook and pen, there is much cause for concern as the 2011 version of this fixture draws nearer.

Roberto Martinez has got Wigan playing some good football since he took over the club and that is exactly why they find themselves at the foot of the table. It is a testament to Martinezpav scores that he has tried to adopt this total football ethic. Particularly at a club that is not blessed with the quality of squad that some managers may have at their disposal. It seems to be common among the up and coming managers these days that attractive football is the way forward. Holloway, Martinez and Di Matteo have all adopted this philosophy and although it has won the team many neutral admirers. The more important commodity of points has not been so easy to come by.

Teams that are struggling at the foot of the table have to dig in and produce the fighting qualities that are needed to survive a relegation scrap. Playing your way out of trouble in the premier league is almost unheard of. Many teams have been relegated despite attempting to play good football and the phrase “they are too good to go down” usually applies to these clubs. Teams like Stoke City and Birmingham have prided themselves on their dogged performances and never say die attitudes that have kept them afloat in the premier league in recent seasons. Martinez will need to instil some of this fight in his side if they are to remain a premier league club for next season.

Of course Spurs are the stronger team and of course we will be clear favourites, but despite all the similarities with the fixture of 2010 one glaring difference if apparent. In 2010 Spurs did not have the distraction of a Glamour tie against Real Madrid waiting just round the corner.

Having to focus on qualifying for next seasons champions league instead of enjoying the over achievement in this years competition, is something that has proved beyond us in recent games. One could lay the blame at the feet of our strikers, but they would probably miss that too. Luckily for us, these dropped points and misfiring games have come at a time when other teams in the top echelons of the league have also dropped points or taken them off each other.

martinezDue to our slip in form recently the league table is taking another familiar look to that of the 2010 season. The showdown with Manchester City at Eastlands looks like it could once again determine the outcome of the much coveted fourth spot.

The good news is that City are falling apart quicker than Gareth Barry’s England career. First they had the Kolo Toure slim fast plan, and now Mario Balotelli seems to be on a mission to prove he can waste his undoubted potential by becoming the biggest self obsessed idiot in world football. He is currently more “Moron d’Or” than “Ballon d’Or”. The problems at the club are rife and the pressure on them to qualify is more than it is for Spurs and this will work in our favour.

After Wigan away at the weekend we will play five home games and three away games in the league. Despite the away games being Chelsea, Liverpool and of course City, the home games are very winnable (including the scum).  That sets the importance of the Wigan result even higher. As the saying goes “every game is a cup final from here to the end of the season”.

In reality, the only Cup Final Spurs can play in is at Wembley in May. That would be after victories over the two best sides in World Football. That’s some ask, and with reality in check our players need to realise that if they don’t beat Wigan on Saturday, they had better make the most of their visit to the Bernabeu, because it could be the last time they get to go there.
