The big match


I write this sat in front of the television, minutes away from Tottenham's UEFA cup tie against Udinese, all the while ruminating David Bentley's stunning assessment, printed in the sports section of the Guardian this morning, that so far this season has been "a bit shit".

Far from questioning such a towering philosophical figure in this otherwise plebian game, I wonder if the utterance of such a damning critique might put the figurative boot up the players' collective arse and force a decent performance out of somewhere. Here's hoping.
