A big scoreline would be nice yeah. But if it was a choice between a scrappy 5-0 win and a 1-0 tonight with the whole team gelling, Kaboul doing a Ledley King impression, Scotty doing Beckham vs Greece, Walker taking the England spot for granted, etc.... I'd take the latter.

It's reassuring to finally have a decent bench, and as we head into December - only important injuries remaining are to Dawson and THudd.
God, Kaboul is becoming some player. And Adebayor is getting the level of chances Clive Allen got from Hoddle, Waddle, Ardiles, etc when he got 49 in that one season. It is all quite beautiful.

They have been chasing shadows for a fair part of the evening. They really are knackered.

Heads down all day if you ask me. Any team can look like Liverpool when the oppo hands it to them on a plate

3rd now, and we become the top team in not just north London - for now.
The midfield didn't cost £40 mill did it - I can see £33-34 mill?

How DARE anyone suggest that game went to out head: "Tottenham boss says his team should be considered credible title contenders after 2-0 win over Villa" http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2011/nov/22/tottenham-premier-league-harry-redknapp

It's no different to mad Fegie ranting at imaginary wrongdoing and building his us-against-the-world mentality every March.

The difference is that Fergie gets results.

On a relative budget? He hasn't done it for 25 years and never in England. And being above three of the CL (regular income) clubs isn't evidence?

It was a great game to be at and we looked top class even if Villa were bloody awful!
Scott Parker in particular was fantastic to watch.
A good chant to note:
Oh Ledley, Ledley...
He's only got on knee,
He's better than John Terry,
Oh Ledley, Ledley
It was also great to see just how much Adebayor moved, tracked back and generally added to the game.
Bale, Ledders, Modders and Kabol were also very impressive to see live.
Come on You Spurs, I enjoyed that!

By your reckoning Pardew must be a genius.
Apologies to all Spuds fans for Villa not making a contest of it last night. What a fucking abysmal performance that was - not one member of the team, except possible Dunne, even played OK. Two pieces of shite defending, back behind the ball but too narrow so that Bale, Van Der Vaart and Lennon were able to get round the sides and behind at will, punting the ball cluelessly upfield, not making simple passes and traps, and wasting the very few chances that we had to make Friedel work.
For that, my missus and I paid £80 for the privilege.
I've done three away games at WHL in the last five years now .... the first was in the dog days of the Ramos disaster - Villa won 2-1 but should have run away with it, we absolutely leathered Spuds; the second was a fortunate 0-0 draw after we were under the cosh for most the game but some great defending saw us through - and then last night when we lost 2-0 but it should have been at least double that.
It illustrates that Spurs are going in one direction and Villa in the other.

Hats off for that incredibly self-sacrificing gesture by Wiltshire.

Right, based on the weird Last Man Standing competition I'm in at my local pub, if Spurs beat West Brom at the weekend and Man City fail to beat Liverpool I pocket £400.

40 of us each throw £10 in and for every round of Premiership fixtures we have to pick a team to win (loss or draw = elimination).
Can't pick the same team more than once, so while the first few weeks are relatively simple for those picking top 4 teams (barring upsets which knock out loads), after about 6 or 7 weeks you're scouring the form book to try and work out whether Stoke will beat QPR
We're into week 5 now (loads went out on Liverpool v Norwich) and it's just me and another bloke left.
He's kept Man City in his back pocket, I've kept Spurs.
Last Man Standing wins the pot.
Then we start again.
