Sunday 18th September 2011
This game was another first for me, having never witnessed a Spurs home game against Liverpool. I travelled down to this one with Willie (no, not joined at the hip!) and my son.
We decided to travel some of the way from Perth on the Saturday, staying at a Travelodge at Grantham. We were up nice and sharp on the Sunday and arrived in N17 in plenty of time for the half one kick off.
After parking up at The Irish Centre on Pretoria Road we headed to the Spurs shop before the now customary visit to Pandoos near WHL Station. Such a cracking little place for a feed. The chicken wrap and spicy rice was out of this world!
After our feast we strolled back along towards the ground and were in our seats a few minutes before kick - off. We were all a little nervous, but our blistering start soon helped ease that with Luka Modric expertly putting us one up after ten minutes with a fantastic dipping shot from 20 yards.
It was really a barrage towards the Liverpool goal, but it just seemed we couldn't get that important second goal.
The second half was a different story with two excellent Adebayor finishes and a single Defoe goal giving us a comprehensive 4-0 win.
Liverpool had Adam and Skrtl sent - off, but frankly they could have had 12 players on the day and it wouldn't have mattered.
