The second goal came from the ever brilliant Luka Modric. A Fraizer Campbell shot cannoned off the post a couple of feet from the floor, and a grounded Luka Modric (who somehow fell over whilst trying to join the attack) lifted his head and pulled of Damon Severson Kids Jersey an audacious header. Wigan pulled back a late goal to make it 2-1, but itg wasnt enough.Harry Redknapps team selection worked about 2700% better than the team that played Ryane Clowe Men Jersey against West Brom. Pavlyuchenko and Campbell showed signs of a great partnership in the making, with Campbell replacing the injured Darren Bent, mid-way through the first half. The 4-4-1-1 formation was designed to accomidate Modric, but on Friday, Modric showed that he players a lot better in the centre of a four-man midfield. Gareth Bale, a player who has been left out for the last seven or so games, had to come in to replace the suspended A sou-Ekotto. But he showed what a player he is, with bursting runs donw the left wing, getting further forward than Jamie Jack Hughes Jersey OHara. Wigan caused a few problems in the first half, but Gomes looked a sured and never really looked like conceeding.With eight minutes remaining, and Spurs cruising at 2-0, Ho Ken Daneyko Jersey sam Ghaly removed his jacket and was prepared to come on. Although a chorus of jeers forced Redknapp to cancel the substitution, as to not upset the great atmosphere around the ground.

Redknapp has since sent mixed signals, asking the fans to forgive the Egyptian, whilst stating he may never play for Spurs again. |
