Well, that was FUN…Weekly POLL

0

Not much to say about the Spurs clash on Wednesday, if you want to call it a clash. I think it was more of a thud; the thud being any hope we had of our reserves being able to accomplish something. Oh well, at least it wasn't Burnley.

And although Spurs tried to surge forward, they failed to get any decent shots on goal. Luka Modric, however, came close at the 41st minute, but Pepe Reina was on hand to thwart his effort.
