'I hate watching games. I can't keep still. I could not do anything, except put my feet up and watch television and play PlayStation. [LNB]'It was a nightmare. I had the boot on when I was on crutches, it was horrible. I must have the strongest arms after using the crutches. I am ready to play.'[LNB]Following his £15million move back to Spurs from Portsmouth at the start of the year, Defoe managed just five games under Harry Redknapp before sustaining a fractured metatarsal in training.[LNB]'It was a massive blow as I felt sharp,' he said. 'You get downs in the season, when it is like you are going through the motions and you feel a little low.[LNB]'I had one of those ugly boots on my foot and I was on the physiotherapist's case all the time.

I hate him.'[LNB] Fulham boss Hodgson to target Tottenham pair during the summerHatchet Man: Huddlestone needs to take the hint and realise that his future lies away from TottenhamALL THE BARCLAYS PREMIER LEAGUE TEAM NEWS TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR FC
