I think Vermaelen's goalscoring exploits helps mask the fact that he makes quite a few mistakes at the other end. I'd definitely have Koscielny above him.

As for Parker, brilliant energy, a proper leader. But he's no exceptional footballer. Either Sandro or Song provides a much better threat in the opposition half.

Very true, every team needs one. I have a great time for Scott Parker, but plenty of other people who's opinion I'd value don't think much of him at all. I'm of the old school who loved the old blood and thunder approach, and I suppose it's hard to change your core values. That said, the way football has evolved so rapidly over the last 5 or so years I'm going to have to change my possibly blinkered appraisals of the modern footballer.

Back to the good old days.

A Tottenham Hotspur supporter has been seriously injured and several hurt in clashes with rival fans in Rome.

A bit disingenuous as the Spurs fans were in a bar when Lazio fans with Iron bars etc. and with there faces covered attacked them.

Three league wins in a row! With the corrupt empires at Woolwich Arsenal and Chelsea crumbling,we are on the cusp of reclaiming our inheritance as London's top club

Well,4 points out of 6 this season from Man Ure,and it could and should have been 6 out of 6.Well on the way to becoming London's top club,and AVB doing a tremendous job after a shaky start.

Need a centre forward first Tony.

With AVB's system, Defoe's inability to pass and move means it's like playing with 10 men. Adebayor, for all his inability to score at present, at least gives the team a roundness.

Plenty of goals coming from out with the strikers.Lennon is lethal.IF we had a recognised striker in his prime (Berbativ 5 years ago) we'd be top of the league.

Results today,and yesterday in the FA Cup,and indeed in this year's Carling Cup,largely prove that the English Premier League clubs generally no longer give a toss about the domestic knock out competitions.

Is that Merson reacting to someone setting a double whiskey in front of him,in the studio!

Seriously doubt that. You telling me the likes of Norwich, Liverpool and spurs wouldnt love to win the FA cup.

T Fearon · January 27, 2013, 10:17:33 PM

Yes.Spurs priority is Champions League Place,Liverpool's is a high league table spot and Norwich just want to avoid relegation.FA Cup doesn't matter to the big clubs anymore.

Captain Obvious · January 27, 2013, 10:27:18 PM

The only top six side knocked out of the FA cup has been Tottenham and they were never likely to win it. Arsenal,Everton are good enough to finish ahead of them in the league.

No excuse now then.

Only saw the briefest of highlights last night but (and I have to check this later) it seemed to me that one of the Spurs defenders was on his backside when a long ball was sent in and luckily Leeds missed it. Couldn't believe it tbh.
No matter how it is glossed up the Spurs faithful won't be too happy with the result. FA Cup means alot to them still despite not winning it in years.

Only ever lost the one cup final.
