With Tottenham Hotspurs, the pride of North London, going from strength to strength this season, I could think of nothing better to kick start my dialogue with, than a celebration of their
4 -2 victory against Liverpool on Wednesday.

Spurs knocked Liverpool out of the Carling Cup in glorious style under their new management of Harry Rednapp, and the victory comes just two weeks after beating them in a Premiership fixture. Roman Pavlyuchenko, scored two goals with his renewed confidence on Wednesday, alongside Anderson, (on loan from ManU).

The season ahead is going to be difficult with every effort to be made to gain points and move up the table, but the Carling Cup is well within our reach for the second time. Having gloriously beaten Chelsea in a dramatic final last year, I think the Cup is something positive for the boys to focus on, and to practically achieve. Martin Jol knew Tottenham had big potential, and I'm pleased that others are coming round to the idea! Check out the Telegraph sport pages to read more about the success from White Hart Lane.
