Ledley King's a decent player when he's fit. You wouldn't believe he hasn't played since October.

And I know we'll have to give Carroll a full season, he hasn't played much for us yet, though I have my doubts we'll get our £35m worth out of him - and it's rare I feel that way about a player.



Liverpool 0 - 2 Tottenham Hotspur

It was a great opportunity to qualify for Europa. Tottenham are 1pt clear and only need to draw (with Liverpool drawing) to qualify. At the same time, we only need a draw with them losing to qualify as we have the goal difference.

Spurs deserved all 3 points, even if the penalty should have been a free kick Spurs would have still won 1-0 and Liverpool weren't much of a threat for the majority of the game. We always have a game like this, we go on a great run then come to a dead stop (and often on an important game). Hopefully this is one of them games and we beat Aston Villa 3-0 next week.

The only problem is Spurs only have Birmingham to deal with, and at the Lane, so Europe doesn't look as likely as it did yesterday.

Still, I won't be too disappointed if we fail to qualify. We were fearing relegation in December, and if we don't get Europe then we can concentrate on the league and FA cup. The Europa would be good though, as it's good for youth players and players getting back to fitness, as well as getting more known by locals.

I certainly wouldn't miss channel 5 football though, or that Irish guy with the glasses whose name escapes me. Apparently he's a Liverpool fan, but he's still annoying.
