Spurs 9 - 1 Wigan

When was the last time you saw a EPL match where the scoreline had a 9 in it? In my entire life as a spurs fan, about 13 years now, the biggest scoreline I can remember was spurs 6-0 oldham. That was the FA cup I believe. I would not have dreamt of a 9 goal rout. To win by 8 goals is nothing short of magnificent.

It could have been more. 2 shots shaved the posts and the Wigan goal was a handball, so it shouldn't have counted. I could have well been 11-0. But I shan't be greedy. Heehee.

The scoreline was great, but what's even greater was Spurs played so well. The commentator said things like,"so easy on the eye" and "its already 6-1 but the scary thing is, there is still 20 minutes left" (spurs scored 3 more). The thing is, when individual players made mistakes, a team mate covers for him. The substitutes had great attitudes as well, instead of sulking, they stepped up to the occassion. Bentley even had a wicked freekick resulting in number 8.

Player ranking for this game out of a score of 10.
Defoe(10) - Scored 5 goals with great accuracy and power. And still hungry for more.
Crouch (6) - Needs 10 chances to score 1 goal. Not a big fan of his.
Lennon(10) - Ran circles around edman the entire game. He finally learned how to cross properly.
Kranjcar (9) - Side stepping and spreading play superbly. Perfectly weighted passes. Makes it look easy.
Huddlestone (9) - Threading through passes from inside the Spurs half. Who needs Carrick?
Palacios (7) - Winning the ball in the middle of the pitch. The iron fist in the Spurs velvet glove.
Jenas (6) - Substitute. Didn't make his presence felt against a poor Wigan side.
Bentley (8) - Wicked free kick makes up for some mistakes. Needs more match practice.
Corluka (7) - Slow and steady. Would be better if he was fast and steady.
Dawson (7) - Braveheart. Would risk his neck to prevent a corner.
Woodgate (7) - Nothing much to do to be honest. Plays a little to the side for a center back.
Ekotto (7) - Love to see him running down the flanks more.
Gomes (7) - Besides the goal and a few catches. Practically unbothered.

Martin O'Neil must be peeing in his pants right now.

As a parting note, I loved how the commentator said it in the end. "Spurs wiped the floor with Wigan". And that's why I love my Spurs. COYS!!!
