I'd think Lennon and Huddlestone would be. They're only 18 or so so it's not like they're expecting to be in the first team, i'm actually suprised they didn't get loaned out with the abundance of midfield players.

On the subject of Lennon (what I saw of him) against Chelsea he looked quite threatening. Loads of pace there and he had a good chance. Shame he's behind Routledge, Jenas and Tainio in the pecking order.

"Sorry Jermaine, but all the jewellery stores in London are reporting a complete lack of diamonds...."

Sorry for not posting this earlier, been a long week for me.

Burglars have raided the home of England and Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Paul Robinson.

They stole some jewellery at the player's north-west London house on Sunday evening after smashing a window to get inside.

The burglary happened just a day after the 25-year-old played in England's 1-0 win over Wales in a World Cup qualifier in Cardiff.

His wife Rebecca and daughter Lucy May were not at home at the time.

The Spurs star returned home to deal with the aftermath of the raid, before rejoining his England colleagues at their hotel near St Albans, Hertfordshire, on Sunday night.

Lie-in

He was then given a lie-in on Monday morning by England coach Sven-Goran Eriksson.

He is expected to fly out to Belfast with the rest of the quad for Wednesday's World Cup qualifier against Northern Ireland.

Robinson's agent, Robert Segal, said it appeared to have been just a chance burglary. "They smashed a window, took some bits and then ran out," he said.

"Apparently there have been a spate of burglaries in the area. Nobody was in the house at the time."

Mr Segal said it was not clear exactly what had been stolen, but confirmed that some jewellery had been taken.

I swear Pyo gets a cut of that replica shirt revenue. I bet they make a mint with all those letters.

[lanky316]

Decent performance against the scousers yesterday we had some good chances and could've won it but same could be said for them. Negatives from the game, Carrick had a complete shocker and seemed to be a waste of space and Jol trying to take all the new signings into account and leaving the Korean on his own on the left. He did well but we could do with a little support for him...

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Davids is great.

I want his babies.

[fineintent]

Pyo is a skillfull little bastard. Rasiak looked good as well.

[therockbox]

I don't know why, but I found it hilarious when Crouch had to climb over the Spurs player to get to the corner.

And Riise's shot was an absolute beauty, would've been a goal of the season contender if went in.

All in all though, a draw was a fair result.

I didnt go to the game but i was talking to my mate who was there and he said that Carrick kept Gerrard quiet and made him look pretty poor .

[therockbox]

Probably got more to do with the fact that Gerrard isn't match fit.

Anyway, from what I saw of the game they were pretty evenly matched.

[lanky316]

I'm actually of the opinion Gerrard seemed a different class out there. He wasn't as big an influence over the game as I was expecting before hand but every time the two of them went for a 50-50 it was obvious who'd come out with the ball, I'll give you hint, he's a scouser...

[The Slickman]

Well even a unfit Gerrard is Superman

[lanky316]

Do you think Jol will ever realise it's useful to have a midfield? Again they were shit last night. Tainio tried hard but isn't a winger and Reid did alright but the middle pair were appauling. Just go 4-3-3 with Rasiak, Keane and Defoe up front and play without wingers in the midfield, it doesn't look like he wants to use them anyway.

Edit: Read the next one. Somehow posted this when I didn't want to.

Rasiak I think has been awful so far. I hope he gets better. Maybe when Mido gets back we can play him with Keane behind, but I can't see Jol doing that.

Jenas needs time to settle in, but if he plays then Davids goes on the left and against Chelsea he played like a central midfielder leaving Lee isolated. However, it seems Jol is keen on fitting them all into the same side.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Jenas was poor.

Rasiak weren't great.

Thankfully Robbie came on to show the team how much some people actually care.
