Tottenham tries to regain focus for Wigan

Soccer Betting Lines

08/27/2010 - London, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Tottenham enjoyed one of its biggest moments in the history of the club on Wednesday as Spurs overturned a 3-2 deficit from the first leg to win 4-0 against Young Boys, booking themselves a place in the group stage of the Champions League.

Harry Redknapp's men were drawn into a group with defending champions Inter Milan, as well as Werder Bremen and Twente. But before they worry too much about Europe's premier club competition, Redknapp knows his team must turn its attentions back to the league for a visit from Wigan on Saturday.

Tottenham has earned four points from its first two games to start the season as they have played to a 0-0 draw with Manchester City before a 2-1 victory over Stoke City last time out.

However, Wigan enters the match in a much different state, having suffered a 4-0 defeat to Blackpool as well as a 6-0 humbling at the hands of Chelsea.

The Latics will also be reminded of what happened the last time they visited White Hart Lane, a 9-1 thrashing by Spurs with five goals coming from Jermain Defoe.

But Redknapp is not taking anything for granted on Saturday, and he believes that those heavy defeats will only serve as motivation for Wigan.

"They've had a couple of setbacks and I'm expecting a tough game, really tough," Redknapp told the club's official website.

"I've got a lot of respect for the manager there, a young guy with a great future and I think he'll have them ready to play, that's for sure.

"They did very well for 30 minutes against Chelsea last week, you couldn't see them getting beaten but then suddenly it all turned around, and Chelsea can do that to anyone.

"They will be strong and difficult to beat."

Chelsea has recorded a pair of 6-0 wins to begin its title defense, and the Blues will try and continue their run of dominance when they host Stoke City, while Manchester United tries to rebound from a 2-2 draw against Fulham with a win at home versus West Ham.

Arsenal hits the road to face Blackburn, Blackpool will hope to recover from a 6-0 defeat to Arsenal when they face Fulham, while Newcastle recorded a 6-0 victory of its own last time out and the Magpies will try for three more points against Wolverhampton.

Sunday's action features Bolton hosting Birmingham, West Bromwich traveling to Anfield to face Liverpool, Sunderland squaring off with Manchester City and Aston Villa entertaining Everton.

FOOTBALL TRASH TALK

NFL Football Trash Talk

Trash talk has a place in every competitive endeavor (except baseball; those stirrup-wearers are too busy chewing on their sunflower seeds and their supplements to worry about what their opponents are doing).

Fantasy sports is no exception. Any intelligent discussion of the subject would probably start with a thesis statement or a definition of terms. Thankfully, this wont be an intelligent discussion.

Let me just say that I am happy to take a place in this space alongside my talented colleagues, even our commissioner. (You should see how she bleats like a demented paper boy about league fees on our fantasy site).

Trash talking, I would argue, is primarily about amusing your friends, their sheeplike demeanors and sloping foreheads notwithstanding. The best place I have found for football trash talking is at www.SportsAlarm.com.

Beyond the entertainment factor, though, I would recognize that the sophomoric ritual has one advantage, when properly applied. It magnifies your fantasy triumphs and mitigates your fantasy failures by transforming the eventual point total into an afterthought. Winning makes it seem like your opponent really is a truss-owning, lapel-pin-wearing nitwit. And in defeat, trash talk can be the air bag to break the fall from your hyperbolic heights. The plug-necked yahoos on your team, you can say, will be sacking groceries by the end of the season.

The best trash talk, in my view, is layered and nuanced. And it doesnt focus only on your opponents team. It picks apart your opponent. The idea is to create a shock-and-awe-scale blizzard of nonsense, and the goal is to make your opponent drop his hands from his keyboard in exasperation.

What team does your opponent root for? Accuse a Giants fan of having a Joe Namath pillowcase. Wheres your opponent from? Give a look of concern no matter his reply, then say, I'll try to type slower for you next time. Is your opponent into politics? Label everyone a tax-and-spend corporate shill.

Cap all that with a liberal application of irrelevance. For instance, dont just conclude by saying your opponent is a twerp who drafts like my grandmother. Say that your opponent is a sweater-wearing, eyebrow-plucking twerp who drafts his team about as well as Zsa Zsa Gabor gave acceptance speeches at the Oscars. By the time your foe makes sense of that, his starting running back will have had puppies.

But what about you? Hmm? Recall a memorable slam? Have a tried-and-true technique? Know someone who seems impervious to insult? Take a moment and tells us about it. Put together some (fit-for-publication) thoughts. You wont be too busy returning phone messages from your friends, Im sure, to reply.

In addition to the trash talking, the Sports Alarm has a huge gallery of high resolution pictures of beautiful women and models in bikinis. The most popular models are: Lindsay Lohan, Carrie Underwood, Alessandra Ambrosio, and Paris Hilton.
