Football - Chomp

Tottenham Hotspur 1, West Ham United 0 (upper central incisor)

Well done Jermain Defoe for putting the (ahem) bite into Tottenham's attack. Jermain, struggling in front of goal (just one away from 100 in all club matches), appeared to take a bite at West Ham's Argentine "Rent-a-Player" Javier Mascherano in yesterday's 1-0 win.

All in all, it was a scrappy little affair which Spurs should have won comfortably but for another 90 minutes of missed chances.

This is becoming a familiar story. Despite five games undefeated since the 3-0 drubbing by Liverpool, Spurs are failing to kill off matches. Against Besiktas in last week's UEFA Cup match, Robbie Keane, in particular, was guilty of wasting gilt edged chances.

Three tests coming up that should see Tottenham's goal shy strikers find their boots.
  • Wednesday sees a Carling Cup clash at Milton Keynes Dons.
  • Spurs travel to Vicarage Road to play winless Watford on Saturday in the Premier League.
  • Next week, it's European football at the Lane as Club Brugge come to N.17.
Now's the time to start clicking, improving performances AND winning.

Meanwhile, Martin Jol called Defoe's alleged bite a "comical nibble". With that and Didier Zakora's flagrant diving, Donutball is not impressed with Tottenham's downward disciplinary path. Reminds us of the early days of Arsene "I did not see the incident where my player drove a Sherman tank over the opposition" Wenger up the Arse.

Just make sure you brush and floss after each Mascherano, Jermain.
