The one with the perfect start

Three wins in three league matches. A perfect start to my beloved Spurs. A 2-1 opening win against Liverpool, and the 5-1 demolition against Hull and a come-from-behind win against West Ham.
Jermain Defoe tops the goal scoring charts with 4 goals and we are on top of the league. I am so enjoying this, as it is a welcome change to all the red or blue colour teams.
Sadly, we don't get much publicity. Then again any other team doesn't get much print in the local media. They are more interested to talk about the red or blue colour teams. Maybe I should venture into sports journalism. I love sports and I can go on and on about it. All sports in fact, except cricket and baseball.
This perfect start by Spurs has ignited comparisons to the '61 double winning team. The last Spurs team to win the title and they start 3 for 3. But we can't compare the two teams. Both eras are so different in terms of sports science and development. Even the ball is lighter than it was in the 60s.
Anyways, I am not going to let this get to my head. Still a long way to go in the season and plus we haven't started our cup runs. Maybe missing out on the rebranded UEFA cup is a good thing. As to reach the final there are 19 games to play. Half the games we play in the league.
So here are some images from our perfect start.

The one with the best goal I've ever seen

This exceptional piece of skill was taken from early this year in the French Ligue 1. The match between FC Bordeaux and PSG. The goal by Yoann Gourcuff.



The one where Ramadhan begins

Hello again. Been some time since you've seen anything on this space. Anyways, with the fasting month just started, I do hope to blog more.
So today is the second day of the fasting month. Good thing this year it starts on a weekend. So I can just sleep in and play games.
Selamat berpuasa/berbuka/berterawikh/bersahur to fellow Muslims.
