Tottenham Hotspur 9 Wigan 1 Premier League result 22/11/09

Tottenham produced the second biggest Premier League margin today by hammering Wigan Athletic emphatically by 9 goals to 1 at White Hart Lane, chalking up Tottenham Hotspur's biggest victory in 32 years. Who did they beat then? Bristol Rovers – 9-0 in the second division.

England international Peter Crouch began the rout after 8 minutes with a close range header which was the only goal of the half.

Spurs front man Jermaine Defoe then had a crazy 7 minutes, making a breath-taking hat trick between 51 and 58 minutes. His first was fired in at close range on the edge of the Wigan 6 yard box. The second was a bit further out and struck to Chris Kirkland’s left, with the assist coming from ex Latics midfielder Wilson Palacios. At 3-1, Premier League strugglers Wigan managed to claw one back when Paul Scharner scored in the 57th minute. Defoe’s third goal came one minute after Wigan’s goal, effectively killing the game off. Not content with that, the Tottenham hero scored in the 69th minute and 87th minute totalling a 5 goal effort that he will never forget.

Sandwiched in between the Defoe goals was an Aaron Lennon goal in the 64th minute. Lennon showed the Spurs faithful and England boss Capello that he can deliver the final product to match his exhilarating pace, with 3 assists and his goal which was a folow up on a Peter Crouch header. If it hadn’t have been for Defoe’s striker master class, then Lennon’s right wing wizardry would have earned him man of the match.

Chris Kirkland added to a nightmare day at the office as he put the ball into his own net and then 4 minutes into injury time ex-Pompey midfielder Niko Kranjcar scored making the game 9-1.
Alex Ferguson’s Manchester United hold the Premier League winning margin record, when they thumped Ipswich 9-0 in 1995. Harry Redknapp will be absolutely over the moon with this result and has catapulted Spurs into a much stronger position in the 10 months that he has been managing the North London club.

21/11/09 Premiership result - Liverpool 2-2 Man City

Given Liverpool's near miss last season and Man City's expensive new team, both sets of fans started the season with high expectations of silverware. But after yet another draw, it is looking like both teams may hit the Christmas milestone outside the top 4 and outside the Champions League spots.

For many teams sharing the spoils at Anfield would be a result, however Mark Hughes will be very aware that this is not the return on investment that the Blues are expecting. A draw at home is also yet another blow for Rafa Benitez, whose tenure is coming under an ever increasing attack. Both managers might have been able to take some positives from the game if it had been a thrilling nail-biter, but in the end even Match of the Day struggled to find the highlights.

Nothing of much consequence happened in the first half, which begs the question for City fans why Tevez was left on the bench for the first hour. The game began in earnest after 50 minutes, when Skrtel took advantage of poor City defending to give the Reds the lead by converting a Gerrard free kick. Liverppol then appeared to sit back on their lead and paid the penalty after 69 minutes when Adebayor popped Bellamy's corner into the net. City went on to take the lead 5 minutes later with an Ireland goal. Liverpool fans could rightly question the position of Wright-Phillips when he crossed the ball to Ireland, but in the end City's lead was cancelled out shortly afterwards as Benayoun hit the target.
After the match Rafa blamed his injury list. Hughes was more upbeat and sung Tevez' praises, but both managers must be feeling the heat as they languish in 7th and 6th position respectively. The only positive both managers can really take from this weekend is that Arsenal slipped up at Sunderland.

Are Liverpool and Man City good enough for the top 4? On yesterday's performance definitely not. Spurs fans everywhere are rejoicing (just don't slip up against Wigan).

In our playoff rematch with District Champion, Haughton, we had their number.
The game was a testament to the competitiveness of our players and their dedication to improving performance.

Bearing down and committing to stopping the option with district MVP, Dak Prescott, the defense strapped in for a slugfest, forcing the junior quarterback to distribute the ball to his receivers.

Obviously, respecting the passing game we featured throughout the regular season, the Haughton defense remained 2-high all night, forcing a 5-man run box. We were able to take advantage of this with our dive and wildcat packages, unleashing 305 rushing yards on them. The success of our run game (as well as picking up the interior blitzing that plagued us in the last contest against Haughton) was due to the tremendous improvement out of seniors T.Player (#65) and K.Cash (#66) along with junior T.Player (#64).

Mmmm, now I'm thirsty! And this Abita swill is getting rather old....

Heading into the Thanksgiving holiday week, I just wanted to make sure I express a show of gratitude and thanks on behalf of the school and myself for two individuals who have really made this season work.

Coaches Anthony McClain and Mike Bogan have displayed an admirable dedication and patience to improve a program in considerable disarray. Two great guys who have masterfully played the cards they were dealt to perfection. Though it wasn't always easy or pain-free, these two kept the best interests of the program at the forefront and pressed on to improve the product on the field.


They have made coaching this season a joy for me and I have to say it was enjoyable, educational, and entertaining to be around both these guys coaching. If you're in NWLA and you get a chance, be sure to watch for these two guys.

THE RIGA PAINTING PART 1 - NOVEMBER 14TH 2009


There were 3 jumbo screens around Riga showing the CO2 painting being painted live, projecting the above web interface from the CO2 E - Race Riga site


The Inside of the LYNX with the specially designed GPS with power to also send a satellite signal from under a bridge or inside a tunnel.

Following the route from the LYNX, documenting and turning the GPS off and on in between the "C", "O" and "2".

The last example that we'll show is the only other concept not threatening Cover 2 with a vertical concept. The high-low ("China" or "Smash") concept merely looks to create a vertical stretch on an underneath defender, putting him in a 2-on-1 conflict. As noted in the previous posts, watch the linebacker expand to the hook (underneath) with the safety (over the top) . This concept is evidenced with a shallow #1 and a vertical #2 or a vertical #1 and a shallow #2.
