BBC SPORT | Football | Premiership | West Brom 1-1 Tottenham
Spurs kept their unbeaten run going with a draw at West Brom. Dafoe scoring the Spurs goal. Oh and Arsenal kept their unbeaten run going as well.
Arsenal are really worried - spurs only have another 40 games to go.
So much for the unbeaten run - next the maximum number of straight wins, or the highest goal difference.

… Spurs were three down, with 20 minutes to go against Arsenal. Rednapp had just been sent off. Carrick was moved to center forward - a big gamble!. All was resting on this game - Arsenal’s record and Spurs move to top spot. With 15 minutes left, Sole Cambell scores an own-goal. Carrick scores with his first header. At 3-2 Arsenal panick - Henry loses his head and gets sent off. Arsenal heads go down. With 3 minutes left, Defoe scores a 40 yard blinder, leaving Lehman standed. Then in extra time, Lehman miss kicks a goal kick to Carrick who scores from the half way line, and then, Santini wakes up!
Forgot to add the title to above…
Spurs play Fantasy football!
Gordon Strachan quotes:
Reporter: Gordon, Do you think James Beattie deserves to be in the England squad?
Strachan: I don’t care, I’m Scottish!
Reporter: “Gordon, can we have a quick word please?”
Strachan: “Velocity” [walks off]
Reporter: Welcome to Southampton Football Club. Do you think you are the right man to turn things around?
Strachan: No. I was asked if I thought I was the right man for the job and I said, “No, I think they should have got George Graham because I’m useless.”
Reporter: Is that your best start to a season?
Strachan: Well I’ve still got a job so it’s far better than the Coventry one, that’s for sure.
Reporter: Are you getting where you want to be with this team?
Strachan: We’re not doing bad. What do you expect us to be like? We Were eighth in the league last year, in the cup final and we got into Europe. I don’t know where you expect me to get to. Do you expect us to win the Champions League?
Reporter: Gordon, you must be delighted with that result?
Strachan: You’re spot on! You can read me like a book.
Reporter: Gordon, Agustin Delgado?
Strachan: I’ve got more important things to think about. I’ve got a yoghurt to finish by today, the expiry date is today. That can be my priority rather than Agustin Delgado.
Reporter: This might sound like a daft question, but you’ll be happy To get your first win under your belt, won’t you?
Strachan: You’re right. It is a daft question. I’m not even going to bother answering that one. It is a daft question, you’re spot on there.
Reporter: Bang, there goes your unbeaten run. Can you take it?
Strachan: No, I’m just going to crumble like a wreck. I’ll go home, become an alcoholic and maybe jump off a bridge. Umm, I think I can take it, yeah.
Reporter: There’s no negative vibes or negative feelings here?
Strachan: Apart from yourself, we’re all quite positive round here. I’m going to whack you over the head with a big stick, down negative man, down.
Reporter: where will Marion Pahars fit into the team line-up?
Strachan: Not telling you! It’s a secret.
Reporter: You don’t take losing lightly, do you Gordon?
Strachan: I don’t take stupid comments lightly either.
Reporter: So, Gordon, in what areas do you think Middlesbrough were better than you today?
Strachan: What areas? Mainly that big green one out there.
Gordon Strachan is definitely the best interviewee in football !
