100 up

Yesterday saw Spurs score their hundredth goal of the season at White Hart Lane (and their hundredth and first). The 2-0 win over Portsmouth was tinged with disappointment in a way. A visit to the Lane these days comes with the anticipation of a 7 or 8 goal thriller. In fact there have been nearly 20 more goals at the Lane than at any other ground this season. Wednesday's 4-4 with Chelsea had the boy on the verge of heart failure and it was as much as I could do to stop myself from uttering shameful curse words. This, of course, would not be appropriate at a football ground. They say that being a Spurs fan is the most stressful but, despite all this, I'd sooner see a 4-4 than a nil-nil and I'd much rather see us win 6-4 than 2-0. And I'd definitely rather experience the dreaded Spurs inconsistency than the consistent losing that Derby fans have had to endure this season.
