Thursday saw Tottenham Hotspurs get their Europa competition begin as they traveled to the Republic of Georgia to take on the countries top club, Dinamo Tbilisi. Your guess is as good as mine in how to say it.
It was competition number two without Gareth Bale as he nurses his foot injury, which we all know means as he sits on his ass thinking about what he's gonna do with his big new Real Madrid contract. And once again, no Bale, no problem.
The Spurs trounced Dinamo 5-0 in the home leg of the Europa qualifier playoff.
Andros Townsend, getting the start for Aaron Lennon who did not make the trip with the team, started off the scoring on a counter attack off a Dinamo corner. He was all alone on the attack, so he had one option and he buried.
Paulinho then scored his first Spurs goal, finishing a header from point blank on a ball from Townsend.
Next goal went to Soldado, who had an easy tap in goal from inside the 6 yard box. He would later put in the 5th goal for Spurs.
The fourth goal went to left back Danny Rose, who put in a beautiful shot from outside the box upper 90 far post. IT was a Bale-esc Strike.
Andy Townsend's play today should light a fire under Aaron Lennon, showing that perhaps his spot in the starting 11 isn't safe. And two goals from the Spurs new striker Roberto Soldado shows that he is worth the club-record transfer
