Speech Writing: How To Write A Good One?

Sun, 15 Nov 2009 09:11:00 +1200

Speech writing is in lots of ways similar writing a paper, apart from that there is no penalty for spelling and punctuation mistakes. You should not try to write words in your speech that you are not relaxed pronouncing or don't know the meaning of because it can lead to a less fluently delivered speech.

To be able to write a high-quality speech is a lot like making a good cake. Having the right elements is key for it's success. Every speech writer should follow these simple 4 steps to confirm you can deliver a successful speech.

Step 1

Start with the most significant idea/point on your outline. Consider HOW you can give details (show, tell) to your listeners in the most effective way for them to easily understand it. Ask yourself: ? How do I need to tailor my information to meet Joe's needs? For example, do you tell personal stories illustrating your main points? This is a very powerful technique.

Step 2

Note down what you'd say as if you were talking directly to them. If it helps, say everything out loud before you write and/or use a recorder. After you've finished, take notes. You do not have to write absolutely everything you're going to say but you do need to write the series of ideas to guarantee they are rational and easily pursued. Bear in mind too, to explain or exemplify your point from your research.

Step 3

Check the 'tone' of your language. Is it right for the event, subject matter and your audience?

Check the length of your sentences. If they're too lengthy or complex you can lose your listeners.

Have you selected words everybody will understand? 'There are 5 cent words and $5.00 words. Why use a $5.00 one when a 5 cent one tells it better?' Example: He 'spat' = 5 cents. He 'expectorated' = $5.00 ? Read what you've written out loud. If it flows naturally carry on the process with your next main idea. If it doesn't, rework.

Step 4

Between each of your major ideas you have to to give a alleyway. This links them for your listeners. The clearer the path, the easier it is to make the switch from one idea to the next. If your speech contains more than three main ideas and each is building on the last, then consider using a 'catch-up' or summary as part of your transitions.

If you are in a real hurry you can also buy speech that is custom written according to your specifications and delivered in 24 hours.

Sat, 24 Oct 2009 05:10:00 +1200

Architecture is the art and science of scheming out and construct buildings and other physical structures by a person or a computer, primarily to provide shelter. It is the art or science of building; exclusively: the art or practice of designing and building structures and especially livable ones.

For your architecture dissertation you are required to do methodical research work. Architecture is all about originality where as dissertation writing is all about research on a great topic.

Architecture dissertations have a lot to do with the topic. If you choose a good architect dissertation topic it would be much easier for you visualize how your dissertation is going to be. It is like visualizing a building before it stands up. A good topic gives your architecture dissertation a sound platform.

Some great architecture dissertation topics can be:
1.Earthquake design in architecture
2.Building wonder bridges
3.Organic architecture
4.Non rectangular building science
5.The wonder that is Sydney Opera house
6.How architecture affects the environment

BUT NOT LAST, AT LEAST

Tue, 20 Jan 2009 16:01:12 +1200

Spurs-1 Pompey-1

Two words, “at” and “least” are getting me through the process dealing with this result.

They can go before any of these sentences:

…we didn’t lose.

…we’re no longer bottom of the table.

…we’re out of the bottom three.

…we scored our first Premiership goal in four games.

…Defoe got his first goal since his return.

…the goal we conceded was a fluke.

…overall we had the better of the play.

When I read that lot over and over it does actually serve as consolation.

And in some ways, it helps me forget Darren Bent’s miss of the season which could sadly be the last thing Spurs fans remember of the player if he is transferred away in the coming weeks.

I do have one particular query for Mr Redknapp, by the way.

Just HOW BAD are Cesar Sanchez and Ben Alnwick in goal that he felt forced to play a half-crocked Gomes who can’t even kick a dead ball?

I don’t think he could have blamed the players this time if, as seemed likely, the Brazilian’s disability actually led to a goal for the visitors![

If that’s the case, our squad is indeed in dire straits and I’m not sure how much we can do to rectify all our problems in this particular transfer window.

With King out long term, no creativity to speak of coming from the midfield and Bent seemingly on the way out, that means we need at least one new player in every area of the park, and expecting the signings to gel with the existing players in time to pull us up to mid-table in the next 16 games is quite a big ask.

It would be hard to pinpoint poor individual performances on the day here. Fans around the web seem to be singling out Gareth Bale, but I reckon that’s a bit harsh. We actually created more chances than usual on the day, and in the most part we were tidy at the back.

It was just the finishing that was lacking.

At least we have a couple of cup games, one of them which could see us return to Wembley, to take our minds off it.

The Way Forward

Fri, 16 Jan 2009 22:01:00 +1200

I think my Spurs have reached a crucial point in their season so comment is necessary.

Our next three matches read thus; Portsmouth at home in the Premiership on Sunday, Burnley away in the Carling Cup semifinal on Wednesday, and Manchester United away in the FA Cup the following Saturday. Here is how I would approach that series of matches…

First, I would of course have to acknowledge that the Premiership is a priority. Eleven defeats in twentyone matches is absolutely awful for a club like Tottenham. Sure, it can be argued that just three points could send us as high as 11th, but the fact remains that we’ve had matches with Stoke, Hull, Fulham, West Brom, Middlesbrough, Sunderland to name but a few and we haven’t been able to take three points.

So I guess it’s not a case of “all we have to do”. It needs to be worked at.

And so I'd try to put out what I consider to be my best available team for the Portsmouth clash. At the moment that reads like this.

Gomes

Corluka Woodgate King(capt) Assou-Ekottu

Lennon Zokora Modrić O’Hara

Pavlyuchenko Defoe

Before the match I would say this to the players…

“Right lads, you’re what I consider to be my best team, but that doesn’t mean any of you are irreplacable. There’s still a couple of weeks left in the transfer window, so get out there on Sunday and play like you want to help me get this club back up the table to where it’s fans demand we be.”

Meanwhile, in another room, I would assemble this team…

Cesar

Gunter Rocha Dawson (capt) Bale

Bentley Tarrabt Huddlestone Ghaly

dos Santos Campbell

…and I would tell them this…

“You lot are what I consider right now to be my Second XI. But that doesn’t mean you don’t have a chance to make it at this club. To prove it, I’m picking you for BOTH the Carling Cup semifinal 2nd leg at Burnley AND the trip to Old Trafford. You will have 180 minutes to show me and the Spurs faithful what you can do. We have a reasonably comfortable 3-goal cushion against Burnley and with UEFA Cup matches around the corner we’re literally on a hiding to nothing against United. Let’s see which one of ye are up for it.”

You may notice that I have left out both Jenas and Bent. The reason is I’ve heard rumours they’re being lined up for transfer out of White Hart lane and to be honest I think we could do without the pair of them.

When the final whistle blows at Old Trafford, there will be eight full days left in the transfer window (it is extended to midnight Feb 1st). Following my plan should give us enough info as to what areas we need to sign players together with enough time to do it.

But then again I’m not Harry, so it will be interesting to see what he actually does. We all said that it was Damien Commolli that put us where we are; now is Redknapp’s time to prove us right.

LETS GET IT ALL STRAIGHT

Mon, 22 Dec 2008 11:12:00 +1200

RUMOUR:WERE A SMALL CLUB.TRUTH:weve got the 5th biggest behind man.utd,Liverpool,ar5ena1 an Chelsea.The last survey in 98 showed us as 4th which shows Chelskis improving fan-base is just glory hunters.We manage to fill to capacity week in week out even when were doing shit(last 20 years.)Theres 80,000 club members and 25,000 waiting for season tickets....which shows what we know...we need a new stadium.

RUMOUR:WERE A JEWISH CLUB.TRUTH:This one started by the Chelsea firm because of the fact were in a highly multicultaural area and in our firm(something Im not into but know about)theres a mix of black white jews christians and atheists which shows our diversity and that were not a racist set up---something Im proud of.Not only that but the Arsenal area has a higher jewish population and David Deins a jew so is Roman Abramovich theres no more no less with us compared to any other club.

RUMOUR:WERE A SHIT TEAM.TRUTH:History doesnt lie.Before the game was about money,corporate sponsorships tv rights etc,Spurs set the standards.The team was all British,in an era were you had to scrap for titles and not buy-we were the first team to do the double,to win the european cup,non league club to win the fa cup,and more firsts.True times have changed-BUT ITS TRADITION AND HISTORY THAT MAKES A CLUB AND WHAT IT STANDS FOR!Another thing these GOONIES may hark on about our lack of titles but you must remember that its the OPINIONS OF EXPERTS THAT COUNT.VENABLES_"THAT TEAM WAS THE BEST I EVER SAW,EVEN BETTER THAN THE UNBEATABLE ARSENAL 2004-2005?Alex Ferguson has said similar,so has Gary Lineker and Bobby Robson-PEOPLE WHO KNOW,NOT SOME DIMLOW DIVVY GOONER MUG!

MY OUTLOOK ON RECENT EVENTS:I didnt like the sale of Keane but I think his best was at Spurs so 20 million was a good price.As for Berbatov Ferguson shouldnt of got away with hounding him but we made profit out of him and a loan striker for the season-good buisness.However--Harry is a good boss,English pedigree a wheeler dealer and someone the players can look over to for guidance.Levys chose an awkward time for the stadium development,but its safe to say its long overdue...........I dont know a lot about his finances but Im sure the board have worked it all out around the recession etc.The stadium will only be part built from naming rights money as well as his own kitty.Winning cups would see us earning prize money but we have to be realistic with what we can acheive.Saying that at the start of the season....I WAS THE MOST EXCITED AS IVE EVER BEEN AS A SPURS FAN BEFORE BERBA AND KEANES EXIT.

Weve been unlucky with bad decisions(thats football yes,but what wouldve happened if the referee counted the 50 yarder that went in against Man u?!)We wouldve been in Europe.Then last game of the season all the players had food poisoning but still put up a good fight(coys!)The board,split decisions loyalties structure has all played its part but Theyre starting to get it right.We'll be back from our sleep and to all our mockers-------get some crayons and paper and an education!..................YID ARMY!!!.........................COME ON YOU SPURS!!.......

Club reveals first images of proposed new stadium

Thu, 18 Dec 2008 00:12:00 +1200

The Club has revealed the first images of the Club's proposed new stadium design, part of the Northumberland Development Project.

Designs for the new home of the Club have been developed by KSS, leaders in stadia design.

Commenting on the release of the images, Club Chairman Daniel Levy said:

"The brief I gave the architects was to design an iconic stadium that would be one of the best in Europe. My over-riding priority is to re-create the terrific atmosphere we have at the current stadium, within a world class stadium that offers state-of -the-art facilities.

"This means designing a stadium which has supporters as close as possible to the field of play and not simply looking to chase headline capacity. Our fans will find themselves closer to the pitch than at any other comparable stadium in the UK. This design puts fan experience first.

"In addition to the stadium, we are designing great facilities within the overall masterplan that will add positively to the local environment and locality, components that can play a role in the regeneration of the wider area."

David Keirle, Chairman of KSS, outlined the strategy behind the stadium design:

"The key driver has been to deliver the best possible fan experience on all levels.

"The visuals of the new stadium show that it's really seen as a building which responds to the brand, which we see as representing style and flowing lines of football.

"We have spent a great deal of time looking at different roof formations. The roof has been designed to focus the noise back onto the crowd and onto the pitch. All seating is enclosed, there are no open corners, so everything is focused back onto the pitch and the acoustics will maximise the impact of the vocal support from fans. The stadium will have a roof that allows us to have four large screens up in the top corners, which means every spectator will be able to see a whole host of information.

"The plans we have produced will result in close proximity for the fans to the pitch, we are going to be metres closer than other stadiums of comparable size. We are fine tuning the plans and these will ultimately determine the final capacity."

The new stadium will also benefit from a Club museum, shops and homes, new facilities for the Tottenham Hotspur Foundation and important public space.

The plans will enable the team to remain at the current site throughout construction.

Daniel Levy added:
"Development projects on this scale take a long time from the initial starting point to final completion. Any new stadia we have seen recently would have been designed at least eight to ten years ago. We are designing for our future and this stadium design has been described as the first of the next generation of stadia.

"This development is more than just somewhere where the team can play football. The Northumberland Development Project will deliver substantial investment for the future of the Borough and will benefit the community.

"It's about leaving a legacy for this great Club and, once delivered, I hope all our fans around the world will be very proud."

How we can get knocked out of the Wafer Cup

Sat, 06 Dec 2008 17:12:00 +1200

We don’t play again until Monday night at Upton Park so I got out my slide rule to see how our Wafer Cup Group D could turn out.

On the night of December 18, the following two matches will be played at the same time…

NEC v Udinese

Tottenham v Spartak Moscow

The way things stand in our group, it is still possible for us to finish first and get a good seeding in the Last 32.

The ONLY way that can happen is if we win and Udinese lose. Doesn’t matter about goal difference in this case. If we win AND they lose, we finish first.

If we draw with Spartak, we at least clinch second spot, though that has its downside in that we must then face one of the “parachute” teams from the Champions League.

Now…to the interesting part. Well, some may find it interesting, others may get a splitting headache!!!

There are circumstances by which we can finish fourth in the group and thus be eliminated from the competition.

They involve both us losing AND NEC beating the Italians, but only in certain ways.

First of all, if Spartak beat us by just the one goal, then they can’t overtake us and we’re through no matter what happens in the other match.
If we lose by 2 goals, NEC must win by at least 2 to eliminate us.
If we lose by 3 goals, a one-goal win for NEC is enough to eliminate us but ONLY if they score at least one more goal on the night than we do (for example if we lose 1-4, their one-goal win must be 2-1 or better). Obviously, in this case, an NEC win by 2 goals or more will also eliminate us.
If we lose by 4 goals or more, any win for NEC is enough to eliminate us.

So as you can see, although it is possible for us to get knocked out, it is highly unlikely, so here’s hoping Spurs fans WON'T have to revert back to this post close to full time on the night!!!

Hutton Faces Long Lay Off!

Fri, 28 Nov 2008 01:11:00 +1200

Injured Hutton faces long lay-off

Hutton was out for eight months with a broken leg when with Rangers in 2005

Tottenham full-back Alan Hutton will be out for up to five months as he needs surgery on his fractured right foot.

The 23-year-old Scotland international faces a long-term spell on the sidelines, says boss Harry Redknapp.

Hutton picked up the injury at the start of the season but returned last month and played 90 minutes for Scotland against Argentina last week.

"It's quite serious, it is certainly going to be a few months. It looks like it will be long term," said Redknapp.

"It's the same injury that kept him out at the start of the year and they decided not to operate and it seems to have flared up again."

Hutton underwent a scan at the start of the week and Spurs have confirmed that specialists have said the defender requires surgery that will keep him sidelined for up to five months.

NEC Nijmegen v Tottenham

Fri, 28 Nov 2008 01:11:00 +1200

Tottenham are without Ledley King (knee), Alan Hutton (foot), Luka Modric (groin) and Giovani dos Santos (ankle) for the Uefa Cup group game.

With Roman Pavlyuchenko and Vedran Corluka cup-tied, Harry Redknapp has picked a youthful squad.

Chris Gunter has been tipped to start, while youngsters John Bostock, Adam Smith, Yaser Kasim, John Obika and Ryan Mason have all travelled to Holland.

And midfielder Jermaine Jenas has joined them despite a toe injury.

Tottenham (from): Gomes, Cesar, Bale, Gunter, Dawson, Assou-Ekotto, Woodgate, Zokora, Bentley, Huddlestone, Jenas, Gilberto, O'Hara, Bostock, Smith, Kasim, Obika, Mason, Lennon, Bent, Campbell.

Lennon For England

Tue, 25 Nov 2008 17:11:00 +1200

Lennon tipped for England recall

Lennon (left) was in rampaging form against Blackburn on Sunday

Spurs boss Harry Redknapp has tipped in-form winger Aaron Lennon to force his way back into the England squad.

Lennon, 21, was in fine form in Sunday's 1-0 win over Blackburn, having struggled to start on a regular basis under former manager Juande Ramos.

"If England coach Fabio Capello starts seeing him play like that, he'll get back in the picture," said Redknapp.

"He was the wonderkid at the last World Cup, then went off radar. I think his confidence is coming back."

England's next game will be a friendly away to Spain on 11 February, 2009, which will possibly be played in Valencia.

I've been getting better and better since the new boss has come in

Spurs winger Aaron Lennon

Lennon ran rings around Blackburn left-back Martin Olsson at White Hart Lane, causing the Swede to pick up two yellow cards as he was dismissed before the break and setting up Roman Pavlyuchenko's winner.

Redknapp added: "I had Theo Walcott when I was at Southampton, Walcott is young but so is Lennon. He's 21, only a kid.

Redknapp delighted to be off bottom of table

"There is nothing to stop him because there are not many wingers around who can do what he does. He is exciting, he carries the game forward for us."

Lennon credited Redknapp with his improvement in form and admitted it was a relief to move out of the relegation zone.

"I've been getting better and better since the new boss has come in and this was probably my best performance," said Lennon.

"But it's not just me it's everyone in general, he's given us confidence and freedom to play. He's given me licence to get at people and that's my game really.

606: DEBATE

Good to see the man Lennon playing with some form today

themodfather

"It's been a hard start to the season and now we're glad to get out of the bottom three again. Hopefully we can carry on and push up the table now."

Meanwhile, Tottenham defender Alan Hutton will have a scan on his injured foot on Monday after missing Sunday's victory.

Hutton missed the start of the season with the problem but has played for the last month, including 90 minutes in Scotland's 1-0 defeat by Argentina on Wednesday.

Vedran Corluka, who played at right-back on Sunday, is cup-tied for the club's Uefa Cup trip to Nijmegen on Thursday, while skipper Ledley King will be rested.

Ben Alnwick's

Thu, 20 Nov 2008 05:11:00 +1200

Tottenham Hotspur have opted against renewing Ben Alnwick's loan spell at Carlisle United and the young keeper will now aim to earn a place in Harry Redknapp’s plans.

Alnwich, 21, recently spent a month with Carlisle and conceded 14 goals in six games as The Cumbrians slipped to four defeats.

Carlisle manager Greg Abbott was impressed by the young shot stopper though and had been hoping to keep hold of Alnwick for a further two months after his loan deal expired at the weekend.

But with Spurs having major concerns over the form of current number one Heurelho Gomes, Alnwick will now stay in North London and seek to make an impression on Redknapp.

“It was important that any decision that was made was in the best interests of the player,” Abbott told the club’s official website.

“The coaching and management staff at Tottenham want to take a closer look at him, and it may open up an opportunity for him with them.

“We are happy to go along with that, as Ben obviously wants to show them what he is capable of.

“We thank Ben for his efforts over the course of the last four weeks. It has been a successfully stay with us and he is definitely still on our radar but, obviously, we wish him well with what he is trying to do with Spurs.”

Blackburn Rovers tickets available

Thu, 20 Nov 2008 05:11:00 +1200

Additional tickets have been made available in the lower tier of the South Stand for our home match against Blackburn Rovers this Sunday.

Tickets are priced at £33.00 each and can be purchased online , over the phone on 0844 844 0102 or over the counter at the Paxton Road Ticket Office between 9.30am - 5.00pm Mon - Fri.

Fraizer Campbell's scores 4 under-21s

Thu, 20 Nov 2008 05:11:00 +1200

Fraizer Campbell's fine form continued with the opening goal as England Under-21s beat the Czech Republic 2-0 in a friendly on Tuesday night.

The striker capitalised on defensive hesitancy to neatly lift the ball over goalkeeper Jakub Divis and into the far corner to hand Stuart Pearce's side the ideal start at Sheffield United's Bramall Lane.

Fraizer was one of three Spurs in the starting XI alongside Jamie O'Hara and Aaron Lennon. Meanwhile Tomas Pekhart, currently on loan at Southampton, played the first half for the Czech Republic.

Fraizer was soon back in the action, setting up a golden chance for James Vaughan, who fired over.

Aston Villa's Craig Gardner drilled home a free-kick to make it 2-0 after 55 minutes and Fraizer and Jamie almost combined for a third when Fraizer was brought down for a penalty - unfortuntely, Divis saved Jamie's spot kick.

Fraizer was substituted after 69 minutes, Jamie after 80 and Aaron played the full 90 - Fraizer was later named man of the match.

Harry Redknapp

Thu, 20 Nov 2008 05:11:00 +1200

Harry Redknapp admitted that we struggled to get going as we fell to the first defeat under his management at Fulham.

The home side worked tirelessly to restrict our play and we found it difficult to match the level of our recent performances - form that had taken us to five wins and a draw in Harry's first six games.

That said, it took an unfortunate opening goal for Fulham to go ahead in the first half but it was hard to argue that they deserved to double their advantage when Andy Johnson struck from close range in the 70th minute.

Substitute Fraizer Campbell offered hope with a smart finish to make it 2-1 with 10 minutes left but there were no late heroics on this occasion.

"We started in second gear for some reason and didn't play with the same energy we've been playing with," reflected Harry at Craven Cottage. "There was no zip to us.

"There wasn't a lot happening early in the game but we didn't take the game to them as I expected.

"We then conceded a terrible goal just as we were starting to get some control. It was difficult. We weren't at our best, for sure.

"Credit to Fulham, they worked their socks off.

"We've done that in the first five or six games but this time we weren't quite as good. We have to pick ourselves up, we've Blackburn at home next week, another big game, we need to pick up points and get out of the bottom three."

Kick Racism out of Football Poetry Competition

Thu, 20 Nov 2008 05:11:00 +1200

John Bostock was at White Hart Lane stadium on Tuesday rewarding the winners of this year's Kick Racism out of Football Poetry Competition.

The competition was organised by the Tottenham Hotspur Foundation, the Enfield Local Football Partnership, Enfield Town FC and Enfield Town Ladies FC, with support from the Enfield Race Equality Council, the London Borough of Enfield, Middlesex County FA and Enfield and Haringey Libraries, and was made open to primary and secondary school children throughout the two boroughs.

Participants were challenged to write poetry on the subject of Walter Tull, the first black outfield professional footballer who played for Tottenham Hotspur between 1909 and 1911.

The young poets were invited to library workshops in Enfield and Haringey in order to do their research on Tull, who died serving as the first black officer in the British Army during World War One.

John, who on Thursday November 6 became our youngest ever player to play a competitive match at the age of 16 years, 295 days, handed out prizes to this year's winners.

He said: "The life of Walter Tull and the challenges he faced should act as an inspiration to us all, so it's extremely encouraging that the Club is encouraging children to learn more on the subject.

"And what better way than for them to write poetry and therefore express themselves creatively. I was happy to meet these budding poets!"

John was joined in the prize-giving by players from Enfield Town and Enfield Town Ladies Football Club.

Spurs Ladies

Thu, 20 Nov 2008 05:11:00 +1200

Spurs Ladies earned a 1-1 draw from their visit to Northampton Town in the first of three consecutive meetings with the Midlands side.

Goalkeeper Ricole Vyse was in a commanding form as the home side applied the early pressure.

A loose ball on the edge of the box was fired home by a Northampton forward to give Town a 1-0 lead, but Spurs felt aggrieved not to have a first half penalty when Alex Small was bundled over in the box.

The second half brought improvement and it wasn't long before Spurs were level when a goalmouth scramble resulted in the Northampton keeper spilling a low cross which fell to the feet of Kirsten Thomson (pictured), who accordingly put the ball hard and low into the right hand corner of the net to equalise.

The rest of the match was tense, although Spurs did come close when substitute Jessie Richards side-stepped the goalkeeper only to be intercepted by a Northampton defender who had tracked her run to deny her a winning goal.

In other results, the Under-11 side defeated Bedmond Ajax 2-0, while the Under-10 Whites ran out 1-0 winners over Enfield Rangers.

But perhaps the most exciting game of the weekend came at Under-14 level, where Laura Newby scored a dramatic late equaliser for Spurs at Harvesters to keep the sides locked together at the top of their league table.

under 18s

Thu, 20 Nov 2008 05:11:00 +1200

Our Under-18s made it 15 goals in three games in the FA Premier Academy League with another five-star victory on Saturday. The table-toppers followed up a 6-0 win against MK Dons and 4-0 win at Watford with a 5-0 victory against Birmingham City at Spurs Lodge. Ryan Mason (pictured) led the way with two goals with John Bostock, Jonathan Obika and Nathan Byrne also on target. The lads have now won seven of their last eight matches in the FAPAL and remain top of Group B - Birmingham were fourth at start of play. "We played really well," reported coach Alex Inglethorpe. "John Bostock opened the scoring with a goal from outside the box and Ryan Mason made it 2-0 from the penalty spot after Jonathan Obika was brought down. "Nathan Byrne grabbed the third with a good finish at the far post and that was the score at half-time. "We controlled the second half and created plenty of chances. "The fourth goal was a great team goal that ended with Sam Cox crossing for Jon Obika and Ryan Mason completed the scoring." Spurs U18s: Butler, Smith, Cox, Kasim, Caulker, Butcher (Nicholson, 70), M'poku (Byrne, 30), Bostock, Obika (Ekim, 70), Mason, Townsend. Unused subs: Ranieri, Jack.

Darren Bent plays tonight

Thu, 20 Nov 2008 04:11:00 +1200

Darren Bent will be looking to take his chance with both hands should he get a taste of the action for England against Germany tonight.

It will be the striker's first game for his country since November last year after being recalled to the squad for this friendly.

Darren's form for Spurs, which has seen him hit eight goals in eight appearances, has earned him his place, and he hopes to make it a regular occurrence by impressing Fabio Capello in Berlin.

And ‘Benty' feels he is brimming with confidence having played a key role in our resurgence under Harry Redknapp.

"Playing up front on my own for Tottenham this season has made me a better player and a stronger person" said Darren.

"Now I'm here I want to get on the pitch and obviously you always want to play for your country. Hopefully I'll get the nod for the game.

"Obviously, when you are not a regular, you always feel you have got something to prove. So if I can get the chance on Wednesday to show what I'm about, I will.

"To be involved in a game like England against Germany can only be special and I hope to play."

goalkeeping coach leaves

Thu, 20 Nov 2008 01:11:00 +1200

The Club can report that Hans Leitert, First Team Goalkeeping Coach, has left the coaching staff.

Hans joined us during the close season and we should like to thank him for his contribution and wish him well.

An announcement regarding a new appointment will be made in due course.
