Tottenham not only lost the opening match against Middlesbrough last Saturday, letting their legion of fans wondering if the heavy investment made will pay off, but also saw the "Berbatov crisis" reach an unbearable level. The BULGARIAN international spent 65' minutes sitting on the bench with his head down and when he came in trying to bring the Spurs to the opening goal the worst happened: Wheater and Mido gave the Boro the 2-0 advantage and when Huth scored the own goal it was already too late for a reaction. Tottenham Hotspur chairman should go for the simplest solution to help improve the whole environment at the club: let Berbatov go. He is a great player but he wants to leave let the lad leave and immediately look for replacement.
Sunderland lost to Liverpool by the minimum score but actually did a good job in forcing the Reds into playing long balls which made it very difficult for Robbie Keane to perform and if it wasn't for Fernando Torres's lone goal at the 83 minute we could say that the Black Cats did a good job. So I believe it's possible to see an big upset this Saturday.

@ Jorge: It was a short-time brain failure. The mistake has been corrected even though that would not chance anything on what I really wanted to say. And you don't need to respect my opinion. Actually, please don't.
My prediction is a 2-1 Home win to my boys Spurs!
At the time of writing Sunderland have just signed Healy & Cisse, and are building an impressive squad under Roy. So they shouldn't be taken lightly... Nevertheless i have every faith in JR, i just hope i don't end up eating my words?
What monkey with shaved palms wrote this? not only did you get the score the wrong way round, you ment 0-1! but you also you wrote, 'Sunderland shocking upsets the Spurs' seriously? is that even english? you mean sunderland upset spurs? Such an amateaur operation! and just so you know spurs are going to win just to make you look tripley stupid!
The lad might not have the best English. He might mix up the adverbs but I guess he got it right this time. Ramos made the mistake of being stupid and left Berbatov on the bench just to make a statement. But in football a statement needs to be backed up by a fantastic performance which did not happen. PremierBlogger, next time just please improve your spelling and your grammar but keep up with the "gobsmacks". It's a bloody entertaining blog you got there.

I'll start respecting your opinions when you start double-checking your facts. Berbatov isn't Hungarian.
