Through to the Quarter-Finals

Last night's game against Stevenage was much closer than any Spurs fan would've hoped for. But at least we got the win, which was actually quite a comfortable one in the end, and a home quarter-final against Bolton next weekend.

The other Quarter-final matches are:
Everton vs Sunderland
Chelsea vs Leicester
Liverpool vs Stoke
(just an interesting observation - our next 3 league games are against Everton, Stoke and Chelsea)

Watching the match last night, I was rather disappointed with Bale's lack of involvement in the first half - but then in the 2nd half he suddenly came alive and was a completely different player. Hopefully this wasn't just a once-off performance and he'll be able to carry it through into the Everton match this weekend.

It's a pity that about the 2 injuries on the night - especially Dawson, who is out for the rest of the season. Since this is the time of the season when you can easily catch up to/get caught by other teams, you really need as much depth as possible.
Hopefully Lennon will be fit again by next weekend for our match against Bolton, since the Stoke game has been moved to Wednesday and then the Chelsea game is that Saturday.

Let's just hope that luck is on our side in the next few games (fingers crossed that Stoke don't injure any of our players) and that we can restore our 10 point lead on Arsenal.

After that we've got a relatively easy end to the season (as you can see in my earlier post about my predictions for Tottenham's remaining fixtures).


Hopefully he can repeat this with Spurs this year
