And so it begins ...


Good game, shame about the result. First game of the season, away to Newcastle – much better than our first game last season. That thrashing from Man City is still painful. Agatha and Mildred agree with the general post-match observations – result did not reflect performance or shots on goal, and, obviously, we need a striker.  On the positive side: the team looked comfortable,  Defoe and Bale both hit the woodwork, and Sigurdsson looks like a stylish player who could fit in well. Last season Modric was a crucial linchpin in the team, but now - new season, new players, new manager … we’re looking forward to a new team shape, and Mildred has a good feeling about it all.  

And, despite the less than overwhelming response to our challenge yesterday, here are all the players we could think of who had played for both Tottenham and Newcastle:  Sebastien Bassong, Sol Campbell, Stephen Carr, Rio Ferdinand, Ruel Fox, Paul Gascoigne, David Ginola, Jim Iley, Jermaine Jenas, Kevin Scott, Chris Waddle, Jonathan Woodgate. Have we missed any?

Till next week!
Agatha and Mildred
