Whilst Roman Pavlyuchenko finds his scoring touch Robbie Keane continues to seamlessly adapt to life north of the border. The loan move from White Hart Lane to Parkhead seems to have been an easy one for the Irishman who continues to find the back of the net with alarming ease regardless of the fact that Celtic now have no hope of capturing the SPL title.
However they do have a chance of winning the Scottish FA Cup especially after they easily overcame Kilmarnock to book their place in the last four of the competition thanks chiefly to the efforts of Mr. Keane.
The 29 year old’s hat-trick may make Harry Redknapp reconsider his long term plans for the Tottenham striker even though his current crop of White Hart Lane front men are also doing a fine job in north London. Keane has now managed a very respectable eight goals from seven starts which is an impressive strike rate even in the relatively average Scottish leagues.
A brace from in form forward Roman Pavlyuchenko and a goal from England man Jermain Defoe saw Tottenham triumph over Blackburn Rovers at White Hart Lane.
The win continues to put pressure on the chasing pack as Harry Redknapp seeks to secure the coveted top four spot. Roman Pavluchenko’s seventh and eighth goal in the last six games helped the north London side past Blackburn Rovers after Defoe had put Tottenham ahead.
It seems that Robbie Keane may well have a future away from White Hart Lane after all. The Irishman has had a hard time of it in recent seasons. A failed move to Liverpool was followed by a return to Tottenham that failed to inspire and left Harry Redknapp to make the tough decision to allow the 29 year old to make a loan move up north.
After managing nine goals for the Tottenham from a respectable 18 starts Robbie decided the pull of a move to his boyhood heroes (lets not even have THAT conversation) was too good to pass up and whilst the SPL title dream is over for this term it hasn’t stopped him from going goal crazy managing five goals in his first six starts.
The two goals at Falkirk show what Robbie does best. Both finishes show a fantastic ability to control the ball in close quarters. Both goals show how Keane can take his chances when he is in the mood. Yes these goals are against a fairly average side but both are very competent efforts that show that the Spurs man still has a lot to offer and it seems the Dublin born striker may well have done enough to persuade the Parkhead side to consider making a move to sign up the Tottenham man on a permanent deal.
Having joined White Hart Lane for a pittance and then gone on to prove himself as perhaps the bargain buy of the summer, Croatian international once again showed himself to be a marvelous flair player with this wonder goal in this international friendly against Belgium.
Having ran with the ball for 20 yards the Tottenham playmaker then unleashed an unstoppable 30 yarder with force past the hapless Belgian keeper for his 12th international goal. Harry Redknapp clearly knew what he was doing when he snapped up his former Portsmouth charge for just £2.5m.
The 25 year old has been instrumental in the north London sides challenge for a top four spot helping bride midfield to attack and assisting a great many goals and putting away some fine finishes of his own. Its just a shame that he won’t be present at the forthcoming World Cup to wow the masses.
Tottenham easily triumphed over Everton at White Hart Lane and leap frogged Manchester City into the top four in the process. In form forward Roman Pavlyuchenko put the home side ahead with his sixth goal in four games as the Toffees failed to get into gear.
Luka Modric added an excellent second to put the north London side in complete control and left David Moyes wondering what happened to the side that so wonderfully took Chelsea and Manchester United apart in recent weeks.
The second half was a more even affair and Yakubu put the Goodison Park side back in the game but the away side were unable to grab a crucial second.
It may look like Abigail Clancy is wearing a bikini in this Sports Illustrated Video, but I assure you, she is not. This is the magic or bodypaint. White Hart Lane’s very own gentle giant Peter Crouch can rest assured that whilst his WAG isn’t exactly parading around starkers she is however not got a stitch on.
The Liverpool born model is running Cheryl Cole pretty damn close for title of most attractive English football WAG but given that Ashley has well and truly put that relationship to bed I guess that puts Miss, soon to be Mrs, Clancy back to the top of the pile.
Clearly the Tottenham striker’s significant other is beginning to make it stateside and rumour has it that she will be part of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition this year also. Clearly none of this has the slightest bit to do with the Beautiful Game but felt that I should share the video with you good people nonetheless.
Roman Pavlyuchenko continued his fine run of form with his fourth goal in three games which got the ball rolling at White Hart Lane. Harry Redknapp’s side enjoyed the most of the possession and went further ahead when Jermain Defoe’s effort hit Bolton keeper Jussi Jaaskelainen to put Tottenham in the driving seat.
Fortune smiled on the north London side as another own goal, this time from Andy O’Brien, put Spurs three nil up in this FA Cup fifth round replay at White Hart Lane.
Roman Pavlyuchenko compiled Bolton’s misery by adding a fourth late on and further aid the Russian’s chances of getting a Premier League start.
Tottenham always looked in control from that point onwards and played out the second half to seal their place in the last eight of the cup and a trip to Craven Cottage to take on Fulham in the Quarter Finals.
