Spurs Odyssey Reviews the Premiership Season
for 2008-2009 - Match 29
|
|
Spurs' win at Villa Park was only their second win there in the Premier League. The last time we won there was on 18th January, 2003 when Teddy Sheringham scored the only goal of the game in his second spell at the club. Gareth Barry, Ledley King and Robbie Keane are the only players to have featured in both games, and of course another returnee to Spurs - Robbie Keane - played a vital part in our win on Sunday. In 2003, it was Villa who were looking over their shoulders at the relegation zone, but they finished the season in 16th place. Spurs went seventh as a result of the win, but finished in 10th place.
Prior to 2003, you have to go all the way back to 1986 for Spurs' previous league win at Villa Park, when Clive Allen scored a hat-trick in his 49 goal season.
Jermaine Jenas scored his third goal of the season at Villa Park. It was Jermaine's free kick that was converted by Robert Huth in our first game at Middlesbrough, and in the following game at home to Sunderland(also a Spurs defeat), Jenas scored our first goal of the season by one of our own players. Jenas's other goal came in the 4-4 at The Emirates, when he made it 4-3 before Aaron Lennon's dramatic equaliser.
Spurs 4 away wins have been at Manchester City, West Ham, Hull and now Aston Villa.
West Ham's failure to beat relegation favourites West Brom confirms that Spurs are closer to seventh place than the bottom three.
There is nothing too scientific about it, but on current statistics, my predictor programme says we will finish above West Ham in seventh place, on goal difference. Mind you, it also says we'll beat Chelsea next week! The programme suggests a bottom three of West Brom, Middlesbrough and Newcastle. That would save some petrol next season!
