Will Adebayor's two goals bring some pride back to White Hart Lane


Well after a 6-0 defeat to Man City and a 5-0 Defeat to Liverpool AVB as sacked, I'm not going to say if I agree with the decision or not but as a Spurs fan I'm not surprised and I will say it distressed me less than seeing Harry or Jol going as those two sackings were hard to take, anyway as always on to the future and despite an initial set back to Tim Sherwood's Managerial caretakership, in losing 2-1 to West Ham to go out of the League Cup, we were back to winning ways this weekend thanks to two goals from Adebayor. Now for years I have been joking with mates that Adebayor would be the top striker in the premiership if the season ended at Christmas, year after year he seemed to blast out of the blocks in September only to disappear entirely come January so perhaps despite AVB losing his job maybe he had a master plan, leave Adebayor on the sidelines until December and hopefully he will still be knocking them in come May, seems to be working so far.

The match itself it has to be said was a little more nerve racking than I had hoped from Southampton but as they have Drawn with City and United so far this season (And beat Liverpool) it was never going to be a stroll in the park, Spurs showed several defensive weaknesses which have been evident for a few weeks now (Can't believe the defense was the tightest in the league at one point.) but at least they are now balancing that with some goals at the other end and although Soldardo again had a desperately bad game in front of goal wasting at least 3 chances in 10 second half minutes, he is at least getting into the right positions and linking well with the other players I think as long as we keep faith with him then once he gets a couple of goals he will probably not look back, all in all whilst I am not going to get excited about beating Southampton the future definitely looks a little brighter than it did.
