Darren Bent

 There were four moments in this match that summed up Spurs season so far, perfectly. 

First, was Lennon’s speculative shot/cross deflected off Distin and somehow, James flung himself across goal to deny Spurs a deserved lead!

Second, from that save, James passed the ball forward and from a Corluka tackle in front of the Spurs’ penalty box, the ball felt invitingly for Nugent and his shot too a slight deflection off Bale’s foot to sneak in at the far post past a helpless Gomes!

Third, from inspired play between Zokora and Modric, Defoe emphatically finished off a classy move to bring Spurs level. The relief that resonated around White Hart Lane was palpable!

Fourth, Bentley – looking rather energized from being dropped from the first team – delivered the perfect cross (with his left peg no less) onto the head of Bent, who despite all the odds, proceeds to put the ball past the post! Harry echoed the feelings of every single Spurs fan at the stadium and watching on the telly – “How the fuck did he miss that?!!”

There you go. I am sure that all the non-Spurs fans are simply lapping this up. It’s a constant case of “could have been worse” for Spurs now. Still, the fact that there are only 3 points between 12th and bottom, still offers up hope for the last ditch great escape which Harry is famous for. 

Still loads of work to be done and with two weeks to go before the window slams shut, Harry has got to work his wheelin’-dealin’ magic before it’s too late. Next – Burnley and “we’re on our way to Wem-ber-ley”.

Bizarre!
