 Hungry for goals ??
Well, this is the DVD for you.Never mind the 125 Greatest Spurs goals from the past, this DVD has almost as many and by the time you add in all the replays, there are hundreds !! It was the sort of season for Tottenham. And there were goals at both ends, so you can re-experience the pain of our sometimes shameful defending, as well as the goals we created and scored in a variety of ways. Remember also, that Spurs were the Premiership leaders in striking the woodwork and watching this review of the season will remind you how many of those rebounds were actually converted. The quick reactions of our players to the ball being loose and unclaimed in the area did lead to a number of goals, while there are also some good footage of other goalkeepers ... including our new signing Heurelho Gomes, stopping us advancing in the UEFA Cup. The highlight is the League Cup run, with good coverage given to the semi-final and final, while there is the mad game at Christmas against Reading, in which there were goals galore, as both teams went for the points. The editing is really good on the DVD, with some good interviews with players and management (although not with Martin Jol) interspersed throughout. Some players who don't normally feature in the limelight are given an airing here and it is nice to see them get a chance to speak to camera. Also, there is a pleasing lack of banging techno music across the disc, with only a little music used and it is quite complementary to the action rather than taking centre stage. Of, course, as we are currently in the midst of the summer transfer window, this may be the last chance to see some of our players in the Lilywhite shirt, but if it is, it just goes to emphasise what we could have achieved last season. A poor start and a lacklustre finish kept us in 11th place, with the middle part of the season being the section that kept us up and in the cups for a while. With the action over, you can refer to a stats section on the DVD, which is an interesting look at the facts from the season and you can see who had most shots and most crosses, if stats are your thing. Altogether, this is a DVD that has much to recommend it and while it is not the greatest season in the club's 125 year history, it did contain a trophy win and some of the most exciting games in recent memory.
