Noisy bunch of Poles. It's going to be difficult over there.

I was hoping they could knock-up a quick stadium for us whilst they were here!

I want to know which fucking Chuckle sanctioned the sale of Tottenham Hotspur home tickets to Away Wisla Krakow fans?

I spent all night listening to something that sounded like one of those Hitler rallies you see on the History Channel.

Spurs are a disgrace, rapidly falling out of love....

Spurs are like having a stunning cheating missus. You know she's f*cking you over but you love her and you think if you hang around long enough and accept her wayward ways she will eventually love you back. In reality everyone is just laughing at you!

Bentley looked absolutely knackered! He had his hands on his knees after 75 and relied on Zokora's engine (he doesn't have much else) to carry the fight down the right wing. O'Hara looked good in that defensive midfield/ make a nuisance of himself role and maintain that's where he should have been from day 1 of the season.

Those Krakow fans were a bit good! Loudest away support i've ever heard. Good job the shiney rozzers made their presence known in the East Upper half way through the first half because that was a disaster waiting to happen otherwise. Shame on the Spurs 'fans' who boldly confronted solitary Krakow fans after the game.

Sorry HH but can't agree, Bentley was cack. He's a trier I'll give him that, but he's horribly out of form/not fit. When we bought him he was supposed to be the answer to our Set-Piece delivery problems... He hasnt been. Stick Bale on Set-Pieces please Rambo.

Jenas 6.2 Not impressed with his hands in the air routine!!! I wasn't impressed that the poor fecker had to keep doing it because of lack of movement from his team mates!

Bently a little over-rated by yourself I think, not one of his crosses went anywhere near one of our players. As for Dos Santos, I think at 19 he should definitely be given time to adapt to the Premiership and our team. Berbatov, much more experienced and older took about 6 months.

So that's 3 in 5 for Bent so far then is it? And a good'n wrongly ruled out for offside! Well lets hope that the doubters will give the lad some due (or Jew) credit because i'm sick of all of the negative crap that spews from the misinformed (read uneducated) so called fans and "professional" pundits! Lets not knock 'em until they've had a fair crack of the whip eh! Oh and Burley ...... you ar a tit!

Agree his crosses didn't find anyone.... Nor did they on Monday really...

Bentley's set pieces and general crossing were poor but the lad scored a cracking goal and certainly wasn't cack! He's not at his best thats for sure but putting Bale on all free kicks would knock Bentley's confidence and isn't the answer imo!

Great point on Bent.

I dont think a bulldozer could knock Bentleys confidence!

Good point , lol but I'm sure he will come good on set pieces! Not all of them were total crap, I recall King should have done better with one header! OK so 1 in 10 is not a good ratio but he's settling in and he needs to take all free kicks that are suited to a right footer and once he finds his range Bent, Pav and Fraz will find the net!

Have to agree with the comments on Bentley. Don't get me wrong, I'll think he'll be superb for us in the long run and he took the goal brilliantly. But I could actually smell his crossing from across the Irish sea -- not good.

Harry you were watching the wrong game - Bentley was woeful. That goal could not hide a truly abominable performance. Dead ball delivery; shocking. Crossing; shocking. Fitness; shocking. Could you not see the pattern? First dead ball - spanners into the first man. Second dead ball - overcompensates and puts ball into orbit. Third dead ball - over compensates again and hits first man. Fourth dead ba- *shoots self in face*

Im not saying hes become a bad player, just out of form, he trained alone with Blackburn, didnt play in their pre-season friendlies, has just been put on our Marcos Alvarez Training and Diet Programme(tm) So needs time to get fit. I'd assume thats why he was on the bench the other day and why he didnt get near the England team last week.

I know we all discuss it many times but we still have not got anybody who protects our back four. Iv never been his greatest admirer and i not sure he is international class but Barry was outstanding against us on monday. if only we had someone like that i truly believe all the other pieces would fit together nicely. Oh and one more thing......fuck off Setanta!!! especially Sir Les' incisive comments???

By the way, I was really impressed with Fraizer Campbell. Showed some excellent touches and was chasing everything. Excellent play for Bent's goal. I've got a funny feeling he may be more successful than Pav at WHL. He and Bent seem to be on the same wavelength.

Seems to be a real problem linking the midfield with the attack. To me it seems so slow and laboured giving the oppo aeons to regroup.

With what little Bent has had to work with, he's done more than well.

As long we go through, couldn't care less if one goes in off his arse in the next leg.

Morning Mr Hotspur. I shall be firing up the vintage motor on Sunday, with the cunch of gravel under my tyres, when I eventually get to the end of my drive, I'll head to N17 for the first time this season. Was dreading it, but I think Camp bell has given us a glimmer of 'something to believe in' (as Poison would say). He changed the game for me last night. It does irritate that we're grooming him for United but if that means we do well in the short term I 'll take it. Bent three in three despite himself. I thought Bale was man 'o' the match. Love Bently, but suprisingly inconsistant delivery considering we bought his as an assist machine. Wigan playing well and will be twitching for a crack at us, but I think Pav and Bent, with Cambell coming on at 60mins will be good enough. Gomes is ace and skill despite one F up. Is Led out for next game then? Need to keep the wardrobe on coasters at bay!

Sorry HH, I don't often disagree with you. Did you watch the game on Setanta?

Gomes: 6

Bale: 6 - a threat going forward, but still naive (with a tendancy to watch) in defence

Woodgate: 7

King: 6 - lacks sharpness, as well as fitness

Gunter: 5 - got found out a little

Zokora: 6.5 - not bad, but needs to make more of a contribution; This time round he was an improvement on Gunter at RB

Jenas: 7 - worked hard, albeit with shades of despondancy

Bentley: 7 - some good (the goal obviously), some bad. Was spent (puffed out) come half time

Lennon: 7 - zipped and fizzed, out...

Dos Santos: 6 - was lighweight. And looked inexperienced at this level. Was not the support to Bent Ramos had intended

Bent: 7 - sees too little ball and does not do enough top obtain it. However, when he gets it...

Essou Ekotto: 6 - alright; Tactical sub that allowed Bale to push forward, past Bent

O'Hara: 8 - showed hunger/desire and together with Campbell provided much needed energy and balance (to the side), that made us far more of a threat and ensure the Krakow midfield saw less of the ball

Campbell: 7 - as above (O'Hara); Looked like an effective partner to Bent

Sorry on a mission now with Setanta..... as for that toothless twat Burley, if he said Bent climbed over the defender for the goal once he said it twenty times, what is his problem?? why oh why do we have to be shown on a gooner supporting tv station, might as well be on arse TV or whatever the shit thing called!!!

In general terms, Krakow aren't a terribly good side (although they do score a lot of goals) and we made hard work of it.

Their fans were impressively noisy and seemed to have procured a section of the West Upper (adjacent to the South Stand) along with groups of seats elsewhere. Thank you Spurs (ticket office) and touts, for ensuring many sat in a commandeered away section, with no Police presence and precious few stewards. What's the point of segregation/sections if you don't enforce them?

Hmmm, finaly saw a bit of what weve been missing of late, guts, determination, and a bit of confidence in ones own ability, stand up Frazier Campbell...Lennon and Bentley were giving it something close to their all, but still a lot of scared faces out there..Gotta forget what the hack wankers at Fleet st are writing, and start playing like a team with something to prove..And if it takes a Man I loaner to galvanise our boys, so be it...

Wow, how refreshing to see a player in a spurs shirt prepared to hunt the ball down and play with urgency and determination. If only zokora showed the same desire to break up play then he might one day get a tackle in on an opposing midfielder.

Not sure what the tactic of dropping back onto the goal-line every time the opposition gets the ball is all about. We're allowing teams to get to the edge of our box almost completely unchallenged.

Think we'll come good when the dust settles, but Ramos, Comolli and Levy have made a variety of basic errors so far, which is why it is so disappointing.

Totally agree. Aside from his goal his performance was pretty shocking. His second half delivery was absolutely dire.

I couldn't quite understand Lennon coming off because he really was having one of those rare good games. He didn't rely entirely on racing toward the byline to hit the defenders knees with a shite cross but actually ran through the middle of the park (the advantage of playing a right footed winger on the left - he HAS to cut in).

Bale was looking alright but we can't rely on him to go forward and defend when we have one crocked centre back and one off boil (although Woodgate was far more commendable last night compared to his invisible man technique against Villa).

Also my positive comments go out to Jenas, Bale and Bent for that disallowed goal as it was our best bit of play this year. Bent will score if he is given a chance with some decent delivery.

Aside from that, it was performance that felt like a win, it just felt like we didn't lose.

Without meaning to blaspheme against the cockerel gods but I really think it's time to give up on Ledley. It is quite obvious that he is not up to the task any more. If he can't cut it against a third rate Polish team (I know he's knee was crocked) what hope is there against the EPLs finest. World class replacement is needed in January, who that could be is anyones guess.

Great point on Bent.

Absolutely, couldn't agree more. I would like to see him working harder (when not in possession) though.

Also, Ramos may have made some rather surprising selections recently but last night his substitutions were spot on.

Well it's a shambles HH. I'll always love the club, but it's the people within the club that piss me off.

Walking away from the ground last night my thoughts turned to those of Keith Burkinshaw... "There used to be a football club over there"

Of course, I'll be there again on Sunday with renewed optimism..... A victim for life I fear... Always coming back for more.
