A dire game in which only Spurs players scored. We were good value for the lead after half an hour but what difference a deflection makes. The thing that was hardest to take was the way Ubited constructed the winner. Carrick lifts a peach of a pass into Berba who finishes with aplomb. The Bulgarian seemed to be a gentleman about it but it’s hard to tell if he celebrated or not. The most gallng part of the whole sorry affair is that we didn’t have Carrick and Berba in the same time at Spurs and the goal they manufacturered was a taste of what could have been. We may have made good money on the sale of the pair to the mancs but at what price. In Carrick’s last game for us we were a win away from entering the Champions League, with Berba we came fifth and won a cup. Now we’re near the relegation zone.
If we go down the £35 million we cleared on Carrick and Berbatov’s sales will seem like small fry.
