Live Blogging the tape delay of Wolves-Spurs

I'm not sure if it's really live blogging if the game is a tape delay, but I'm giving it a go anyway. Game "starts" at 5:00pm, COYS!

Pre-game: We're coming to live from the Winter Wonderland better known as Baltimore, MD. Starting lineups for this match between Wolves and Spurs includes American keeper Marcus Hahnemann in net for Wolves. For Spurs, it is Gomes in goal, Kaboul making his first appearance in his second run with Spurs, Dawson, Bassong, Bale, Bentley, Huddlestone, Jenas, Kranjcar, Defoe, and Gudjohnsen making his debut apperance.

1 - Bentley forces a foul from the Wolves RB. Free kick for Spurs. Early danger.

2- Bale goes for goal and misses - strange decision from that angle.

3 - corner for Wolves, looks like there was snow over there - approx. 49 inches less than what we've had - corner is dangerous, punched by Gomes and rebound is blocked by Dawson

4 - Wolves are going for the double over Spurs - they won the first match at WHL 1-0 in December

5 - Kranjcar goes for goal from 25 yards and misses by 25 yards

6 - Kaboul back in the side, Spurs like getting their old players back whenever possible - Wolves playing a very high line and are playing with danger against Defoe's pace who is caught offsides by just a whisker

8 - our referee for today is Mark Clattenburg, whom I think is one of the top referees in the premier league

9 - Spurs chance, the ball comes into the area, Jenas beats Hahnemann to the ball and heads it over him, but the defender comes back to cover

10 - Huddlestone escapes a yellow card with a foul at midfield - Spurs had good possession, but it broke down after a mis-communication between Gudjohnsen and Jenas.

12 - Defoe with a good run through a few defenders and draws a foul about 35 yards out... quick free kick leads to nothing

13 - galloping run from Bentley leads to a corner kick for Spurs

14 - good delivery from Bale and Dawson mistimes his jump - that was a chance

15 - Defoe looks lively today

16 - Bentley with a very nice run and then a sloppy ball to Kaboul goes out for a goal kick - Spurs showed their counter-attacking ability there

17 - Spurs away-supporters in good voice, as usual

18 - Bale with a good run, but runs into solid defending and the ball goes out for a goal kick off the cross

19 - Wolves supporters scream for a foul at the top of the area against Bassong, none given - upon replay, it seems that Clattenburg got the decision right

20 - Oh my, great chance for Krancjar, in all alone - a beautiful play by Spurs from Kaboul, to Gudjohnsen, to Defoe - great save from Hahnemann - corner kick coming... and it amounts to a throw-in for Spurs

21 - great chance for Wolves, Doyle beats the offside trap... Dawson tracks back wonderfully and Jenas cleans up the mess

22 - Wolves are tending to an injury to one of their players (Jones #14) - in the meantime, it's a blizzard outside, I think my walls are going to cave in soon

23 - the resulting corner for Wolves was cleared

24 - the sounds of my walls caving in was actually coming from Ross shoveling the roof - I'm not as concerned anymore... as long as he doesn't fall off the roof

25 - Bentley goes for goal and puts it over the bar - Bentley has been heavily involved so far - he could not be any different from Lennon in terms of style of play, but he has performed well in Lennon's absence

27 - Wolves goal - Wolves 1:0 Spurs - Jones, the player who was injured finished off a tremendous move from Wolves and slotted it behind Gomes - Spurs have to battle back now... this is a must 3-pointer

29 - Penalty shout for Wolves... nothing given, Bale gets fouled 100 yards from the incident in the area... looking at the replay now, it should have been a penalty against Dawson - Kevin Doyle receives a yellow card for arguing

30 - the ball could have gone anywhere off the free kick and it hit Hahnemann in the face... he knew nothing about it

34 - Wolves with a chance form Jarvis... good save from Gomes... corner coming - corner cleared, Spurs are on the break... Kranjcar shoots right at Hahnemann - excellent counter yet again... Spurs need to convert one of these chances

37 - the pace of the game has slowed a bit... it has not been Kranjcar's best performance thus far, although he has been quite active

38 - Gudjohnsen with a slack pass to Dawson stumps an attack... he looks a little rusty... as i say that, he just strays offside on a ball from Defoe

40 - Spurs look a little out of sorts after a solid start... Kaboul looks good so far, much better than what I remembered from the past

41 - COYS = Come On You Spurs

43 - Jenas and Huddlestone are made to look miserable but the ball runs away from the Wolves player just as he gets to the top of the area

44 - Spurs seem to be missing the bite of Palacios in the middle... Jenas is not helping his cause for more playing time at the moment

45 - Jenas with another inexcusable give-away at midfield... but he gets it back a few seconds later and draws a corner kick... 2 minutes to be added

45+1 - I think Harry is going to yell at the guys at half... Spurs have looked poor since the goal

End of First Half - Wolves 1:0 Spurs

Spurs opened the game in familiar style - controlling the play and creating some chances. However, it was Wolves who would get the first goal in the 27th minute. From there, the play was more balanced and Wolves had the better of the chances. Spurs will need to step it up a few notches in order to get the required 3 points.

Start of the 2nd half - Palacios comes on for Jenas - a move that I give three thumbs up.

46 - Palacios commits a foul within 29 seconds

47 - Wolves player misses the goal by 45 yards

48 - crunching tackle by Kaboul leads to a chance from Spurs which is deflected for a corner - great run by Kranjcar

49 - corner is headed wide, goal kick - Hahnemann getting a USA chant from the home supporters

50 - Bentley continues to be the focus for the Spurs attack - as I say that, he crosses the ball much too far for anyone and it goes out for a goal kick - I see another sub coming for Spurs within the next 15 minutes

52 - good chance for Doyle, tries to loop it over Gomes but goes high and wide

53 - another good run from Bentley sets up another corner kick... chances galore, but they haven't taken advantage yet... another chance wasted - they don't look threatening from the corners yet

54 - wayward from Huddlestone, it hasn't been his best match either

55 - good possession from Spurs, but Huddlestone loses it in the area... Spurs putting the pressure on now

56 - the attack is going through Bale a little more now - Kranjcar fires the ball 10 yards over the ball

57 - according to the radar, it's going to snow forever in Baltimore

58 - Dawson has been a bright spot on an pretty bleary night so far

59 - Bentley loses it at the top of the area after another good build-up from Spurs... this story is getting repetive... shot from Wolves goes wide for a goal kick

60 - substitution for Wolves... an exchange of left backs... Ward off, Elokobi on, Ward had been struggling against Bentley

61 - Gudjohnsen with another wayward touch - certainly looks rusty - Crouch warming up

63 - Dawson is being tended to on the field... he was involved in a collision with Doyle... this is unsettling for Spurs considering the injury situation at CB... Spurs make a substitution, Crouch on for Gudjohnsen

65 - Wolves create a chance off a turnover at midfield... a corner coming

66 - handball on Wolves off the corner - Spurs need to bump it up a gear or two

67 - Bentley gives it away... Dawson is struggling a bit after that collision... this might force a change that Harry does not want to make, we'll see what happens

68 - Yellow Card to the new LB for Wolves - seems a bit harsh

69 - Crouch commits a foul, and as usual, looks quite confused about it all

70 - most of the play is in Wolves' half... foul against Wolves... they don't look very happy about that one, but it was a clear foul - Huddlestone shoots the ball 20 yards wide off the free kick

72 - Kaboul with a bad pass, Wolves come the other way and Dawson commits a foul - Spurs make their last substitution with Modric coming on for Krancjar... Wolves make their second change... Guedioura off, Mancienne on

73 - Bale finds Bentley on the other side of the field, but Bentley's cross into the area goes straight into the hands of Hahnemann

74 - Bale creating problems on the left side, a real factor - creates multiple chances but no one is able to finish...

75 - Palacios commits a hard foul and receives a justified yellow card

77 - Spurs have almost all of the possession - Crouch with his first meaningful touch, I imagine they will be looking to get the ball into him a bit more in the final 13

78 - Huddlestone has been terrible - Bentley shoots it with his left foot and misses by quite a bit - Wolves are 12 minutes away from completing the double over Spurs

80 - Bale with another great run... he's been fantastic, needs to find a man with one of his crosses though - Wolves make their last substitution... Jarvis off, Milijas on

82 - Wolves supporters screaming for fouls at every contact... they are serious need of points and taking 3 tonight would be a big step in their fight for safety

84 - Bale delivers another ball, but it has too much air and Hahnemann collects

85 - the ball is in the net, but Bentley is offside by a half a step... lazy from Bentley

87 - another looping cross from Bentley this time and Hahnemann collects - a little over 3 minutes left

88 - Huddlestone complete misses a good chance about 7 yards wide... it simply has not been his night

90 - the ball is just a foot out of range from Defoe and Hahnemann collects - 4 minutes to be added on

90+1 - the ball is all around the area and goes out for a corner... time is running out

90+2 - the ball is cleared off the corner, Palacios takes a shot and it is slightly deflected into Hahnemann's arms... just over 2 minutes to go

90+3 - Doyle runs into space and draws a foul which will kill a lot of the remaining time

90+4 - Wolves earn a corner kick which will continue to kill the rest of the clock

Full Time Wolves 1:0 Spurs - the first league double for Wolves over Tottenham in over 50 years... a huge 3 points from Wolves... a complete disaster for Spurs... it's tough to justify a top 4 finish when you get zero points from Wolves on the season
