This was my third trip to Wolves' home, and in the previous two visits had seen the home side defeat QPR 2-1 in a Championship game in 2004 and a 3-3 cracker with Spurs in March this year.
For this one i travelled down with Willie. We left Perth at the back of 5am, and were in Wolves by about 11am where we met up with Wolves fan Gareth and his pal. I had first met Gareth 3 or 4 years ago at a fans football tournament hosted by Queens Park Supporters, and for a good couple of hours we had the crack in the pub (Willie and i were the only Spurs fans in there - 'Cover your colours mate' asked the bouncer. 'Our jackets also have the cockerel on though mate' i retorted. 'Yeah, that's ok though mate' - Strange i thought, but we were allowed to stay and i wasn't going to argue!)
We left the pub at quarter to three, and got to the away end at five to, but had to wait on another Spurs fan, Baz, who had Willies ticket.
Finally we were in a minute or so after kick - off. Scott Parker and Adebayor were making their Spurs debut in the sunshine and The travelling Spurs fans were in fine voice as we dominated without causing too many problems early on.
Into the second half and we finally made our domination count when the two new boys combined for 1-0 with Adebayor rounding the keeper to score. Defoe made it two with ten minutes left for a deserved 3 points that lifted us off the foot of the table.
