IntoCity Awayday Win For Tottenham

Well it was Huddlestone who shone.

Gave one, made one.

What a gent.

Stuart Pearce did what he does best. Shouted, pointed and generally deepened the lines on his face telling all and sundry no one could care as much about City's fortunes as he. And had he not been there, the second half would have been less about City than it was.

Much of the Tottenham dominance in the first 45 was counterbalanced by the men that Pearce had clearly screamed at on half time and after.

Barton's goal was absolute class and it's a pity that Defoe didn't convert to match it at the other end. He really does look as fit as a butcher's dog. There must be an avalanche of goals in Defoe for Spurs yet. Hats off to the club for putting the Man Utd rumours to bed.

Penalty? Mmmnn. Steed had a go at the ball and then a nip at the man. Spurs were lucky not to get stung. And so a comprehensive victory was nibbled at but not quite polished off, by a peckish but unravenous Manchester City.

Huddlestone has made another claim on a regular spot, but the real question is why against an 'okay' City, why were Berba and Defoe goalless? Breadth and depth is all well and good, but let's supply the forwards, eh?
