Tottenham strikers rule the roost with four hat-tricks and 27 goals

24 Nov 2009 - 14:39:15

Tottenham's nine-goal hammering of Wigan on Sunday included five goals from Jermain Defoe - taking his total for the season to 12 and the total Spurs' four forwards have scored to 27 - more than any other club in the Premier League.
Defoe's second hat-trick of the season is also the fourth scored by a Tottenham striker this term and with Harry Redknapp's side scoring for fun this season, there's every chance they could steal that all-important Champions League spot.

  constant rotation and repeated under performance of some good players. in the past few home games the majority of fans & local radio commentators who include experienced ex town players have ridiculed J M's tactics & team selection. As the local press said this week in spite of 3 years of effort J M is yet to come close to improving our team. lets hope Marcus Evans calls Alan curbishley before it's too late.

  I think you're out of your depth Jim. Ipswich is a bigger club than you think and the fans want success. You should let the youngsters have a go instead of letting them go on loan.Use your money wisely before its too late! All the best for the rest of the season cos we need it!
