A Better Sunday ?
It's a bloody early start to the Sunday matches and I could not go back to sleep, so here I am. It's starting with Spurs vs Newcastle. Sunderland vs Citeh and Swansea vs Stoke kick off at 9:05 then the match of the weekend is United vs the Gunners which kicks off at 10:10. A great way to end the Prem action following the international break.

It must be yes as Remy gives Spurs the lead thirteen minutes in. Newcastle had been threatening to score the last few minutes after coming close. it was their famous French connection as Gouffran tackled Paulinho in midfield and his slide rule pass to Remy was perfect as Remy made no mistake, rounding Big Brad then easily scored. That's seven goals in seven matches for Remy.
I forgot that Yeovil vs Wigan is being played this morning as well.
Decent pass across the box from the lively Eriksen , but nobody was up to connect.
Hugo LLoris is on the bench as the medical staff stated that he has been unwell all week. He had that horrible collision at Goodison Park last week.
Soldado won a Spurs free kick and Vertonghen shot it just wide by Krul would have saved it had it been on target.
what a save by Krul ! A tasty free kick by Eriksen and a near post header by Soldado in the corner was acrobatically pushed away by Krul.
Remy is down holding his hammy and that would be a tremendous loss for the Toon.
He walked gingerly off and should be okay as it's a return to WHL for Chris Hughton watching this match. Played for Spurs and managed Newcastle,.
To complete reunion day, Clive Allen , is a former Spurs player.
Eriksen with a rocket of a shot straight at Krul, who couldn't hold it , but gathered at the second attempt.
Shola Ameobi has the ball in the back of the net off a superb through ball from Cabaye, rounding Big Brad, but was just offside.

Great kick save by Krul from Eriksen after great work from Paulinho and Townsend.
Wide by Sandro as went past two Toon players
Paulinho tripped by Debuchy by the D.
Debuchy booked either for the foul or for talking himself into the book.
OH! How di that not go in. The free kick from Siggy took two deflections and Krul went the wrong way, but acrobatically kept it out. Then Yanga-Mbiwa cleared off the line as Sandro was about to put away the rebound.
It was actually a double save by Krul as he was on the ground saving the rebound from Sandro before Yanga-Mbiwa cleared.
Cissoko on a pacy break has a shot blocked by Brad for a corner as he beat Vertonghen for pace.

Nearly an equalizer as it was a nice through ball from Paulinho to Soldado, who shot straight at Krul. it was fumbled and Townsend headed the rebound straight to Krul
The final roll of the dice as Dafoe is on for Siggy. Spurs fans happy as there are now two strikers on the pitch.

Cisse volleys wide from a cross by Cabaye on a rare second half Toon attack.
Overran on for Gouffran as Vertonghen headed on t the bar off a corner.
OH! That appeared to be hand ball by Yanga-Mbiwa. Hard to tell whether it was in the box or the D. AVB may have something to say about that in the post match interview.
Debuchy fouls Soldado.
Eriksen's free kick is straight to Krul, but fisted away, then Dawson is booked for fouling Sissoko on the break
Sissoko down injured , as there are four minutes of stoppage time, but that may be more like five minutes.

That's it and The Toon surprisingly win 0-1 at WHL. Spurs unlucky not to at least draw as Krul was MOTM with 14 saves,.

It seemed an innocuous pass from the Orange out of the back and Javi Garcia tripped trying to defend against Bardsley, who cut in and scored as Pantilimon was out in an odd position as Bardsley scored from a narrow angle with a striker's finish.
MIlner goes down, looking for a penalty off a long ball as Bardsley had his hand on his shoulder. Would have been a soft one.
The goal must be a kick in Citeh's teeth , against one of the worst teams in the division and two Man Yoo rejects combined on the goal.
Naughty by Javi Garcia on Fletcher and fortunate not to be booked
The Orange cuts out a cross by Milner for a Citeh corner. Celustka clears away from the corner after some questionable defending
