Internationals Return From Tour Of Duty.

Spurs had a whooping great 10 internationals returning from international duty this week.

Defoe, King & Robinson did not arrive back in Heathrow until 5am Thursday morning, Chelsea‘s contingent on the other hand arrived several hours earlier courtesy of Abramovich’s private jet.

With all that money sloshing around you would have thought money bags Roman could have at least offered them a lift!

Hardly surprising that Defoe looked a bit jaded on Saturday.

The good news is that we appear to have picked up no major injuries, just the usual bumps & bruises.

Portsmouth had 5 away on duty 3 of which would have been involved in long haul flights & differing time zones.
