Just now sitting down to watch Fulham-Tottenham on the DVR after spending most of the day on the roof of my house. I was keeping up with the match on my phone, now checking it out to catch the details. Three wins in a row now after that terrible stretch a couple weeks ago.

Without seeing anything yet, I'll bet the Dembele was a difference maker again today. It's no coincidence that this run in form for the team coincides with his return from a hip injury. I read somewhere last night that heading into this week teams that have Dembele in their lineup got three points in 83% of their games. That's Spurs pre- and post-injury, and Fulham for a few matches heading into the transfer deadline. Add two more wins to that statistic after today's game and the midweek game against Liverpool.

Also, I'm glad to see they went with the dark blue away kit instead of the silver/black alternates.

I didn't turn it on until the 80th minute...just in time to see them fall apart.

They absolutely owned the first half. 75%+ possession. They probably should have been up 2-0 or 3-0 at the half. This amuses me greatly.

Wow, what a terrible goal allowed by Schwarzer for Spurs' first. Sandro took a low, speculative shot from about 30 yards. It looked like it was going about 6 feet wide when it knuckled just inside the post. Schwarzer didn't react to it until it was past him.

Liverpool have been great at missed chances off the woodwork, disallowed goals for off sides that look questionable at best, etc.. Driving me nuts.

They're close, but really seem to need another scorer to compliment Suarez. Not sure they're going to get one in January, though.

Got the win but 2 more off the woodwork today...

Considering how off-the-handle Abramovich is (in general), I'd be surprised if Rafa Benitez finishes this season.

This is especially since a good portion of the supporters are against Rafa.

But maybe Abramovich will surprise everyone and keep him employed until the close of the season.
