Ugh Huddlestone has joined the rubbish sleeve tattoo club for goonish footballers.

Nice to see such an exotic Owen dive this early on.

Saw some pictures of about half the team getting tattoos. Corluka too I think

[METALMAN]

Hiddink is still Russia manager? Did not know that...

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Bent is in it, Bellamy's been in it for years, Fabregas is flirting with it, about three Bolton players are in it. Basically the ladies liked it with Beckham so if it's good enough for him....

If Newcastle don't win today I think they'll really struggle to stay up, and will be relying on other teams to collapse over the next couple of weeks. I just can't see where the points are going to come from.

lololol...

We've got some of the ugliest fans with some of the ugliest tattoos. It's official.

How well have Palacios and Corluka been playing for Spurs since they joined?

[Matt]

BEEEEEENT!

[Zaz]

Darren Bent!

Palacios, from the games I've seen (his first couple), has been excellent, though apparently his passing has let him down a bit recently. Corluka had a sluggish start but has really found his place since the new year (probably since Redknapp took over actually).

Corluka, after replacing Hutton early in the season as first choice has been brilliant, one of our best as far as I'm concerned and as well as being solid defensively is happy to run forwards and overlap with Lennon on the attack.

Palacios is basically Tottenham's backbone.

Cool. I liked them both at their previous teams, just not heard a lot about them really.

Man, not Dawson

Hopefully it's not season ending. Hutton to make his return and Corluka to centre back.

[Crybaby Bunting]

And now Shearer deploys Blackburn tactics

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Halsey's having a shocker.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Ugh Bent! Mrs Redknapp could've scored that one!

[Hobo]

Yeah you can have Paul. We released him last summer.

Strange as it seems I actually kinda mark for Paul Dalglish.

[alldaws1]

Good to see Hutton and Defoe back. Hutton's played well since coming on, that cross for Bent was brilliant. Shame about Dawson, looks like it could be a season-ending break

Gah! Thought that would be Palacios' first goal there.

Incredibly late comment but how was Harper for the goal? I just saw the instant reply and it looked like it was a bit of a half-hearted save but Andy Gray said he did excellently (or something similar.)

[Clawson]

So Robinho finally decides to score this year and then of course, we forget how to play defense immediately and almost concede like 4 times there.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

About Harper, he was kinda screwed by the bad defensive play. The original attempted cross from Bent wasn't good but he did well to spread himself nonetheless. Not excellent but did his job and probably a little unlucky that the ball fell perfectly to Bent again.

Eight hours without conceding at home?!?!

We've gone all old school Arsenal.
