In Shock

Well, what a pleasant surprise to wake up to seeing Spurs one up over Bolton and seeing them close out a nice 2-0 win at home.  When I was reading the game commentary on Skysports, (I can't tell you how much I love cheering on my team from reading a slowly updated game summary) I was in a bit of shock.  The initial posts said that Spurs fans were in a bit of shock and confusion before the game.  I checked my sources and what do I see...not only are we winning a match, but we are winning a match under a new manager, Harry Redknapp.  

This is something that you do not see as often in American sports.  I am not saying it is a good or a bad idea to be able to sack your manager, but it must be difficult for the players.  Especially in a sport like football, where every manager has a distinct style of play, and they cannot take time-outs or have an offense and defense that they can speak to throughout the game.  

It is going to take me a little while to collect my thoughts on this aspect of the game.  Regardless, congrats to all us Spurs fans for the first win of the season.  Only took 9 games, but a win is a win.  May it be the first of many more to come this season.  And a warm welcome to Harry Redknapp.  Perhaps you are the change we need for us to act like the team that we have the potential to be.  

COME ON YOU SPURS!!!
