Gareth Bale, Jonathon Woodgate & David Bentley return from injuries

Gareth Bale & Jonathon Woodgate are available for selection for the first time, having recovered from the injuries that they already had since I took over as Spurs boss. David Bentley also returns after his month out injured. All 3 players are severely lacking in match fitness, so none will start against Villa, but I'm busy arranging friendlies for my reserve team, so that all three can start playing games.

2 Tottenham - Pavlyuchenko, Keane
2 Aston Villa - John Carew, Craig Gardner

After being 2-0 up at half time, I thought three points were in the bag. I was wrong! It's another disappointing performance, so I'll be looking towards changing my tactics very soon, before the game with Chelsea.
