Spurs fans are used to seeing their team veer from the sublime to the ridiculous, although perhaps this is the first time under Ramos, but with European competition guaranteed next year through their league cup win over Chelsea it matters little to their season.

Ramos will no doubt let his feelings be known through the vocal talents of Gus Poyet but, without King or Woodgate, it is little suprise that his makeshift defense capitulated so easily.

Blues fans can have some belief at last with McLeish at the helm and Forssell re-creating the form that saw him knock in 19 odd goals for Chelsea a few years back.

Unlike Spurs on the day Birmingham looked comfortable with the jobs assigned to them and capable of carrying out directions thrown at them by McLeish.

McFadden has already had praise heaped on him by both Forssell and McLeish since his arrival from Everton and he showed why on Saturday setting up 2 of Forssell's 3 goals in his first hat trick in the Premiership.

Despite a string of reaction saves from Robinson there was nothing he could do to stop Forssell or Larsson's free kick leaving Spurs 4-0 down with 9 minutes to go.

Jenas scored the obligatory consolation goal late on, but the score line did not flatter the Blues.
