The Last Man Standing 17/18
Was Benny ever a specialist free kick taker? Bale was a brilliant free kick taker in his Southampton days and I well remember him scoring one at WHL against the Arse in his early days. What happened? Was he overtaken by the WHL curse which also affected VDV, who was also fantastic at direct free kicks before he came to the Lane.
Opponents seem to manage it. I recall off the top of my head direct free kicks from Giggs and Baines going straight into our net.

He's also the best LB in the Barclays Premier League. Allegedly.

[h=2]PLAYERS SO DETERMINED - SANDRO[/h]Posted 14 September 2012 12:17am
Sandro insists the players are determined to secure a first win of the Premier League campaign at Reading on Sunday.
Late goals have hit us hard in 1-1 draws against West Brom and Norwich City at the Lane – turning a potential six-point haul into two points.
Newly-promoted Reading are next and the Royals have performed well on their return to the top flight with a draw against Stoke and a promising display despite a 4-2 loss at Chelsea.
“It’s important to get our first win this season,” said Sandro, who returned from international duty with Brazil this week to train for the first time with his team-mates at our fantastic new facility Hotspur Way, Enfield.
“We’re all determined. Everyone has talked about the first win.
“It’s a difficult game, every game in the Premier League is tough, but we have a good team and we will try so hard to get the three points.”

TEAM NEWS
Adam Federici is likely to be available for Reading despite pulling out of Australia's squad this week with a knee problem.
But the game may come too soon for Jimmy Kebe, who returned to training this week.
Spurs boss Andre Villas Boas is again expected to prefer Brad Friedel to new signing Hugo Lloris in goal.
Clint Dempsey could also make a first appearance following his deadline-day switch from Fulham.
MATCH PREVIEW
You could forgive Reading fans for forgetting that the football season has even started. It's so long since they played a league game that their matches against Stoke and Chelsea must seem a distant memory.
Chelsea's European Super Cup commitments, a storm in Sunderland and the international break mean that 25 days will have elapsed between Reading's defeat at Stamford Bridge and their kick off against Spurs. At least a narrow League Cup win over Peterborough kept the troops in trim.
Reading should be encouraged by their start - if they can remember it. They were good value for their point against Stoke and were in the lead at Chelsea for 40 minutes, only falling behind to an offside goal by Fernando Torres.
Whilst Royals fans have been waiting for something to happen since then, Tottenham supporters have felt their brows gradually furrowing. Points were dropped at home to West Brom and Norwich, Modric and van der Vaart have gone, Dempsey and Dembele have arrived, but AVB's first win has not.
Another arrival at White Hart Lane is France goalkeeper and captain Hugo Lloris, who may have to wait for his debut after Villas Boas declared that Brad Friedel would remain his number one for the time being. Lloris admitted it was "not nice" to hear, but he's probably now painfully aware that Friedel has made 307 consecutive Premier League appearances. It's a sequence which takes in spells at Blackburn Rovers and Aston Villa as well as Spurs.
Now aged 41, Friedel is one of the nicest, and one of the best, professionals around - but even the greats cannot overcome time's winged chariot forever. He is after all six-and-a-half years older than his manager - and that just might be another record.
MATCH FACTS
Head-to-head
Spurs are unbeaten in their last five league and cup games against Reading.
Reading
Reading did not fail to register a win in the first three games of their previous two Premier League seasons.
A goal for the Royals would be their 50th at home in the Premier League.
Reading managed just 19 home goals in their last Premier League campaign (2007-08 ) - the second lowest in the division that season.
Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham have won just one of their last 11 Premier League away games.
Andre Villas Boas has won only three of his last 15 Premier League games.
Aaron Lennon is poised to make his 200th Premier League appearance for Spurs.

Risky, BUT I want the other team to worry about how WE'RE playing for once, not us always having to adapt to nullify their threat. Just attack the fudge out of em. I'd be happy for Lloris to play, an away game might have less pressure on him.
2-0 Spurs Adebayor 41', Dempsey 73'

Not his biggest fan yet, but he defends himself quite well in that conference.
He seems to know what he wants and very stubborn.

Luka Modric
excellent interview by AVB.
a must watch for all spurs fans, and non-spurs fans who think his time has come.
he talks alot about the tottenham way, sounds like he is on a mission establishing values and principles about how the football club should be run.
feels like he's going to be here for a long time. i think he will. and i think we will enjoy the ride.
