Glad to hear pal and hope you'll keep following.
I thought keeping a hold of them was crucial to building a team capable of competing at the top of the Premier League, so far so good I suppose, hopefully things keep going well.

Cheers man.
That stupid bollocks went and got himself sent off so he's slowly starting to become my third choice striker behind Defoe and Graham despite his obvious ability. Thankfully we got the three points.
Oh and yeah Bale is an absolute beast.

Well I've been playing since September until the chap fell on me, so every Friday and Sunday for about three months, I'm very rarely injured, this years just been shit.
According to the physio the only reason I didn't break my leg and tear all the ligaments in my knee was I shifted my body towards my left hand side trying to protect my left leg instead of trying to protect the right knee. Think I did that because I was obviously concerned about getting my left leg out of the way because I only had the achilles tendon repaired in February.
Will only miss about two games of indoor so I'm happy with that.

Tottenham Hotspur winger Gareth Bale says his late winner against Fulham at Craven Cottage on Sunday was fully deserved after the North London club had dominated most of the Premier League clash.
Spurs head into the upcoming international break unbeaten and without conceding a single Premier League goal in over 270 minutes of football under new manager Andre Villas-Boas.
The North London club recorded a 1-0 over Fulham on Sunday at Craven Cottage, a late Gareth Bale goal securing all three points for Spurs, only goal difference separating Manchester United, Everton, Spurs and Arsenal at the top of the Premier League, all of the top four unbeaten in their opening three games.
Following his late winner against Fulham on Sunday the 23 year old Welsh international said Spurs deserved their victory and revealed his late goal was a great way to open his account in the Premier League this season.
"I've heard some people say we didn't deserve to win yesterday and I think that's ridiculous, how can people who understand football say that? We were in control for most of the game and had a few fantastic opportunities, we could have and should have scored a few goals on Sunday, no disrespect to Fulham," said the Spurs winger.
"To score so late was fantastic and on a personal level it was a great feeling to know my first goal of the season secured a late win for the team. When you score late you give yourself a huge chance of winning because the obvious advantage is the lack of time the opposition has to change things and respond," added Bale.
Bale will now link up with Wales as they begin their 2014 World Cup qualifying campaign with two tricky fixtures, the first a tough trip to Belgrade to face Serbia before hosting Scotland at Cardiff City Stadium.
Wales have been handed a difficult group which contains Belgium, Croatia, Macedonia, Scotland and Serbia.

Tottenham Hotspur recorded their third straight clean sheet since the opening day of the Premier League season and in the process recorded a 1-0 win over Fulham at Craven Cottage despite playing the final few minutes with only 10 men after Emmanuel Adebayor was sent off for two yellow card offences.
A late strike from Gareth Bale this afternoon denied Fulham a third consecutive draw in the Premier League much to the disappointment of the home fans at Craven Cottage.
Fulham have so far picked up points against European champions Chelsea at home and Liverpool away, the Cottagers handed a tough start in the Premier League this season as they face Chelsea, Liverpool, Spurs and Manchester United in their opening five games.
Their other opponents West Brom not to be underestimated either as they've picked up six points from a possible nine under new manager Steve Clarke, the Baggies recording 2-1 wins over Norwich City and West Ham United.
Defeat at the hands of Spurs was slightly harsh but nobody could deny the fact that once again Andre Villas-Boas had watched his side create the best chances, dominate possession and boss proceedings. The young Portuguese manager has transformed Spurs since his arrival and they look like a team capable of challenging the best.
Spurs fired the first warning of this afternoons contest, striker Jermain Defoe who is still looking for his first Premier League goal of the season, firing directly at Mark Schwarzer after Aaron Lennon had played the ball into the path of the striker who had made a clever run off the shoulder of Aaron Hughes.
The hosts took their time settling into the game and when they finally found some rhythm there was problems for the Spurs defence, goalkeeper Hugo Lloris who has kept two clean sheets in his two Premier League appearances called upon to deny Dimitar Berbatov from close range, the former Bulgarian international diverting a cross from Damien Duff towards goal, the Spurs keeper doing well to readjust his feet before clawing the ball off his line.
Fulham almost paid the price minutes later for some slack defending as Gylfi Sigurdsson picked out Clint Dempsey inside the area, the American who spent six seasons at Craven Cottage denied by the fingertips of Schwarzer who flung himself down low to his left to parry the ball away when it appeared Dempsey had scored.
The game then entered a scrappy phase as Steve Sidwell, Dimitar Berbatov and Mahamadou Diarra all found themselves threading a thin line after referee Anthony Taylor brandished yellow cards. As half time approached Schwarzer did well to block a Sigurdsson free kick with his feet after it had crept under the wall and Jan Vertonghen headed a corner over the crossbar as Spurs pushed for a late first half goal.
After the break the hosts went close to opening the scoring, right back Angel Rangel finding Berbatov unmarked inside the area with his cross and with Lloris beaten the former Spurs and Manchester United striker was unfortunate to see his header crash against the woodwork. The first booking for a Spurs player soon followed, midfielder Sandro booked after he hacked Berbatov down on the edge of the area as he shaped to shoot.
From the resulting free kick Damien Duff stung the hands of Lloris, the Spurs keeper doing well to hold onto the effort, had he not Fulham captain Brede Hangeland or Mladen Petric would have been presented with a tap in.
As the hour mark came and went Spurs boss Andre Villas-Boas withdrew the misfiring Defoe and replaced him with Emmanuel Adebayor, whilst Dempsey also made way for Danny Graham, Villas-Boas switching his formation as Adebayor and Graham both took up positions up front. Within just three minutes of his introduction however Adebayor was booked for a needless shove on Hangeland, those two would again collide later in the game, the Togolese international shown two yellow cards for two shoves on the Fulham captain, the striker set to miss his sides next Premier League game against Newcastle United later this month.
In the end Fulham cracked, Bale breaking the offside trap and calmly slotting the ball under Schwarzer to seal the three points for Spurs, the traveling supporters buoyant at the final whistle as their side kept pace with Premier League leaders Manchester United and second placed Everton, the North London club enjoying life under Andre Villas-Boas, dreams of a Premier League title challenge well and truly still intact at White Hart Lane.

As is always the case in Europe if you do well at home you'll qualify.
Need to get at least six points from our three home games to have a chance.

Tottenham Hotspur manager Andre Villas-Boas has admitted that his side must perform well at home and away to advance from their Europa League group after the draw for the group stages in Monaco paired the North London club with AZ Alkmaar, Hannover 96 and Dinamo Moscow in Group H.
Exactly 48 teams now know their fate following the completion of the Europa League group stage draw in Monaco, holders Atletico Madrid drawn alongside Bayern Leverkusen, Anji Makhachkala and BATE Borisov.
Spurs manager Andre Villas-Boas was handed a tough group by the draw as the North London club were paired with AZ Alkmaar, Hannover 96 and Dinamo Moscow in Group H. The Spurs boss feels his side will have to perform well at home and on the road to advance from the tricky group, the 34 year old telling reporters that he is aiming to win the competition he won with FC Porto in 2011 with the North London club.
"The group is tough, very tough and in Europe there are no easy games. I know we'll need to play well at home and away from White Hart Lane to progress to the next stage of the Europa League," said Villas-Boas.
"We haven't won this competition since 1984 and I hope to change that," added the Spurs boss.
The fixture list could assist Spurs as they face AZ Alkmaar in Holland in their first Group H fixture before hosting Hannover 96 and Dinamo Moscow at White Hart Lane. The North London club will then head to the Russian capital for the reverse fixture against the Russian side before they face AZ Alkmaar at home and Hannover 96 away, positive results in the clubs two home games against Hannover 96 and Dinamo Moscow crucial for Spurs.
Spurs will now turn their attention to their Premier League clash with Fulham at Craven Cottage on Sunday.

Tottenham Hotspur manager Andre Villas-Boas has rejected claims that the Capital One Cup isn't important to bigger clubs in the Premier League after the draw for the third round was made today.
Spurs will face Reading in the next round of this seasons Capital One Cup after the draw was made for the third round earlier today, the sides set to meet on the 25 September at White Hart Lane.
The draw was favourable for Spurs as they'll be expected to overcome the Royals and book their place in the fourth round, Villas-Boas rejecting claims that the competition isn't regarded highly amongst the Premier Leagues elite, the prize of silverware and European football enticing for every team in the Portuguese managers opinion.
"I think that is wrong, I don't think teams like Liverpool or Arsenal approach this competition differently to the likes of Reading, Southampton or say West Ham. All the teams want to win silverware and the Capital One Cup offers you a place in the Europa League so everybody wants to win it," said the Spurs boss.
"For me this competition is important and I want to win it," added Villas-Boas.
"Reading will prove difficult opponents and we must play well to advance, however I know the quality of our team is good so if we execute our game plan and play the way I know we can then we'll have a great chance of beating Reading at home when we play them next month," declared the 34 year old.
Newly promoted Reading lost 4-3 in a thrilling Premier League clash against Newcastle United on the opening day of the season before they bounced back last weekend with a 3-1 win over QPR at the Madejski Stadium. The Royals needed extra time to overcome Nottingham Forest in the last round of the Capital One Cup, striker Pavel Pogrebnyak scoring the all important winner as Brian McDermott's side avoided a shock defeat at the City Ground.

Tottenham Hotspur star Gareth Bale says he's happy with how the North London club have begun the new Premier League season and the winger believes he and his team-mates have room for further improvement.
Four points from their opening two games leaves Spurs sitting in seventh spot in the Premier League, the North London side perhaps unlucky not to have beaten West Ham United last Saturday when the pair played out a 0-0 draw at White Hart Lane, a 2-0 victory over Norwich City on the opening day fully deserved.
Spurs winger Gareth Bale says he's happy with the start the club have made to the season, the Welsh international revealing that he and his team-mates have more room for improvement as the season progresses.
"The start to the season has been good for us and importantly we've played some really good football. Obviously we would have loved to have won the game at home last weekend against West Ham but the performance was encouraging and it's always difficult to break down teams when they're happy to defend deep," said Bale.
"I still feel we've got more to give as well, we can improve and as a professional footballer you always need to be focussed on getting better, you can never be content with what you've achieved, I'm learning new things every day and I really think we've got what it takes to challenge the best," added the 23 year old.
Bale who has become a household name is one of Europe's hottest young talents and has been linked with a move to the likes of Manchester United, Manchester City, Barcelona and Real Madrid, speculation the Welsh international rejects swiftly whilst confirming he's committed to the North London club.
"To be honest I don't even think about all those transfer rumours and I don't pay much attention to what is being said in the media. I'm happy at Spurs and I've a contract here until 2016 and as I said I'm very happy at White Hart Lane. All I'm focussed on is doing well with Spurs and Wales," declared Bale.

Most of the time you can clearly tell that somebody has dived, for example Suarez against Stoke and Welbeck against Wigan.
Carzola dived last night, even Arsene Wenger said so in a round about way, he should be banned for it.

Except when players dive it's usually followed by 785 rolls along with desperate clutching of their limbs like they've had a chainsaw taken to their knee or a turn to the referee to appeal for a foul or penalty.
When you lose your balance you don't tend to do those things.
How many cameras are at Premier League games these days?? You can see quite clearly Carzola has dived, just like you can see when Ashley Young does it or Danny Welbeck or Luis Suarez, they have to start banning players for it when it's clear they've taken a dive to try and con the referee.
