December 2010
Europa League - Group Stage
Tottenham 2 - 0 Leverkusen
(Lennon, Defoe)
A brilliant win in europe as Leverkusen possess a lot of quality and to get a clean sheet is outstanding. Exciting winger Aaron Lennon scored the first and Jermain Defoe added a second to confirm Spurs' qualification through the group stage
League Cup Semi-Final Draw
Tottenham/Sheff Utd v Arsenal
Premier League
West Brom 1 - 1 Tottenham
(Kranjcar)
Defoe missed a spot kick in the first half and a shock was on as Roman Bednar scored just before half time. Tottenham came out fighting but could only manage a draw through Niko Kranjcar. Probably as much as either side deserved.
League Cup Quarter-Final
Tottenham 2 - 0 Sheff Utd
(Modric, Keane)
Spurs ensure a double legged tie against Arsenal in the Semi-Final. Last time Spurs played Arsenal in the Semi-Final of the league cup they won and went on to win the competition against Chelsea in 2008.
Premier League
Tottenham 1 - 1 West Ham
(Modric)
Spurs yet again didnt really deserve anything more from todays game than just a point. And a point they got when Luka Modric scored in the second half.
Europa League - Group Stage
Tottenham 1 - 0 Timisoara
(Lukaku)
A rotated side which saw Verratti, Kranjcar and Lukaku all start beat the impressive Timisoara by a goal to nil. Romelu Lukaku scored the goal and Spurs make sure they qualify top of Group B.
Europa League 1st/2nd Knock-Out Round Draw
Tottenham v Fenerbahce
Tottenham/Fenerbahce v Man City/HSV
Premier League
Stoke 0 - 1 Tottenham

Gareth Bale arrowed in a free-kick inside 2 minutes to give Tottenham the lead. Spurs defended very very well against a barrage of throw-ins and set pieces from Stoke and made sure of 3 points.
Premier League
Tottenham 1 - 0 Bolton
(Di Maria (Pen))
Another fantastic defensive display secures 3 vital points. With a break from all cup competitions, Attention is all on the League campaign and winning will surely boost morale.
Premier League
Tottenham 3 - 1 Burnley
(Defoe 3)
It was the Jermain Defoe show at White Hart Lane as he smashed in a 26 minute hat-trick. Tottenham were poor in the second half and conceded a goal but Burnley never really looked like creating enough chances to get back in the game.
Premier League
Tottenham 2 - 0 Hull
(Defoe, Di Maria)
The last game of 2010 was a win at The Lane. Brilliance of Di Maria was delightful through the match but it was Defoe who got the scoring started and Di Maria got a second. Next is Peterborough in the FA Cup 3rd Round at London Road.

An excellent show in December. Much the same as last season's December. Morale is high and Performances are impressive. Everyone is really gelling together very well. 1 match in hand which is a big one against Man Utd. Tottenham have turned it round after a dismal November. A very good reaction. Saunt has been presented with a Manager of the Month award, His 2nd award after the MOTM award last March.
Player of the Month - Jermain Defoe
Jermain Defoe for a second month in a row is the Player of the Month chosen by Chris Saunt. With 5 goals in 7 games he is showing a clincal edge which hasnt been seen because of Peter Crouch last season but this year he has really done well to keep hold of his lone striker place.
