Cm’on mate, I was at that game, we played very well seing as it was only a FRIENDLY and none of the players were taking it seriously. We were just using the game, 2 try out different players in various positions and I was impressed with Huddlestone, he produced some good passes which set up goal scoring opportunities. Dawson and Davenport looked lyk a solid paring, Keano and Berbatov linked up well together and were unlucky not 2 score and Benoit looked comfortable at LB and he should def start instead of Lee Po.

Tano is an underatred member of the team, yet he is so important 2 us. He has got a great work ethic, isn’t afraid 2 get stuck in, produces goal scroing opportunities and his second goal was just superb. One of my personal favourite Spurs players, when he plays well we generally win.

Overall the team played well and we were unlucky not 2 score more goals, but we still got the win. One criticism though is our RB in the first half was nowhere 2 b found, Inter kept having an easy tym down that side. Also Routledge loos poor, he has pace and can dribble past players but when it comes 2 end product, he doesn’t have it at all.

All and all an enjoyable game and as usual a great atmosphere at The Lane.

I was at the game as well, and think a lot of the article coincides with many of the sentiments that i took from the game. yes it may be slightly negative, but it is realistic. it was not a good performance, but there were a few bright displays (as mentioned). and the regular inter team is almost unrecogniseable when compared to their line-up on sunday.

i salute your efforts at trying to write a balanced impartial report on the game. not a waste of 1100 by and stretch of the imagination…

what a waste of 1100 words, clearly after watching the last 10 years of crap at whl you seem to have fallen into a very negative view of spurs. Try looking at the many positives from the performance on sunday and write about those.

You guys know this was a preseason fixture right? and therefore neither side is yet ready for the big kick of and played teams that will obviously be vastly different given it was a wc year? so the performance could be forgiven. For example its obvious routledge will not be our right back, but he is gaining match fitness etc etc. Furthermore although the Inter team was not at full strength they do have very good depth in their squad so the game was full of top class players and not reserve players as turned out for spurs (with i think three obvious admissions) the previous day. All in all I’d say job well done, lets not be too negative, ok spurs didnt set the world alight, but well save that for bolton yeah?

Alex – if I were an Arsenal fan, would I go to the Spurs match and then write 1100 words about Spurs? Now, instead of mouthing of, why don’t you challenge my views rationally? With what do you disagree?

Actually, the author is a Spurs fan

It never ceases to amaze me how football fans will go into a frenzy if someone says their team played below par, even if its one of their own
