This kind of certainty comes but once in a lifetime.
BBC SPORT | Football | Europe | Real Madrid close in on Benzema.
Benzema is the kind of player we need at Tottenham. I don’t suppose we were ever in contention. He’s probably never even heard of Tottenham. Real Madrid or Spurs ? Not much competition really.
BBC SPORT | Tennis | Murray wins late-night thriller.
When Andy Murray played a back hand drop shop in the ninth game of the fifth set to win the point, you knew you were watching a man that when it came down to it, could play the big shots. A drop shot is a high tariff shot in tennis. If it is not played without enough spin it could give your opponent an easy chance to put a winning shot away; not played correctly and it could fall weakly into the net.

BBC SPORT | Football | Internationals | England U21 3-3 Sweden U21 (aet).
It doesn’t matter what level you watch England play football at, they put you through the mill. First half, it was typical England; not playing well but able to take advantage of the other team’s weakness at set pieces. Second half, we sit back, try to play possession football and throw it away. We get someone stupidly sent off to leave ourselves short of strikers in the final and the keeper gets himself booked in the penalty shoot out to miss the final as well. We miss the first penalty in true Beckham style and then have a little luck as their fella takes an England style penalty to hit the post. Eventful doesn’t even come into it !
Tottenham tell Sunderland Tom Huddlestone is not for sale - Telegraph.
If someone wants Huddlestone, why don’t we let him go ? He won’t be in the team next season (well he doesn’t deserve to be)so why don’t we cash in on him ?
