Didnt you guys get beat by like a 2nd league team for the second straight year? About time Spurs won a game. And I give them credit, they played pretty well and with pretty much no mistakes. But oh well, the CC is lame anyways.

Kevin Keegan has been told to keep his hands off Blackburn's David Bentley. (Daily Star) What does this mean? I have seen Bentley's name a couple of times in trade rumors. I don't want Bentley to leave Blackburn, he is my favorite player!
