Christ, that was a strike and a half by Martins.

Get the fuck in!

Sorry, Spurs fans, but that's an absolutely cracking result for us.

Oof, that must sting a bit.

Did Spurs dominate, then?

They had more of the play, and could have had four in the first fifteen minutes apart from Given. But we did have a good fifteen minutes each half and our attacking finally looked incisive. Was a good game of footy all round really.

Chimbonda was really, really lucky not to go at half time though considering he slapped a Newcastle player in the face right in front of a linesman.

And amusingly, Defoe is smaller than Nobby Solano.

Jesus! He must have hit that at ninety degrees to his body and direction. How on earth he managed to get that much power behind it and keep it that straight I'll never know.

Amazing game.

Just been watching MotD2 myself.

Christ! What a hit!

In a season of astonishing goals, it's nice to see us finally have a Goal of the Season contender of our own!

Aye, I was left gobsmacked by it

Although how Spurs didn't score at least 10 is a miracle (or Shay Given)!!

Don't forget Nobby Solano's miracle clearances. He'd have saved the second goal if he'd been a foot taller.

I don't think I've seen a ball hit so hard since Leeds Tony Yeboa hit that volley against Liverpool.

And having seen Martins quite a lot now I'm still not sure whether he's right or left footed as he can hit shots like that with either.

That goal was a shame in a way as it's deflected a lot of the attention away from the amazing spirit shown by the kids in defence and Pattison in midfield.
