@MIMIMEROB2: "is AVB real deal no as soon as tottenham dp real bad he will be kicked out"
@machekanoluc: "give him a chance and he will prove you. "The next Mourinho"
@JohnJowel1985: "avb just needs time its a new squad but a with a lot of potential"
@Kaaboofla: "AVB will shine at spurs as he has less pressure there than he did at chelsea."
It is immaterial - the whistle goes immediately afterwards to signal a deserved victory for Spurs, Villas-Boas's first in charge of the club.
Reading corner - the fans who have stayed behind getting behind them. Gallas flies into a challenge and the whole ground demands a penalty - Webb turns them down!
Defoe is booked in the dying seconds. First yellow card of the game.
Three minutes to be added on.
READING GOAL! 3-1 to SPURS: Hunt finds Le Fondre inside and his excellent chipped pass to the far post is turned in by Robson-Kanu.
Townsend crosses for Defoe, whose volley is over the bar. He has designs on the match ball there...
Spurs change: Andros Townsend on for his Premier League debut, replacing Lennon.
And he then clears off the line from Le Fondre! Unsung hero today, Gallas.
Gallas with another header to keep Reading at bay.
Tottenham have had 19 shots, nine on target, compared with two for Reading.
Reading changes: Hal Robson-Kanu on for Guthrie and Noel Hunt replacing Pogrebnyak, who has run himself into the ground for no reward.
Spurs have conceded four PL goals this season – three of which have come in or after the 80th minute of matches. It won't matter much if there is another now, although it doesn't look likely.
The decision to play Defoe up front alone now seems inspired. Hats off to AVB - a better manager than me.
Strangely, Dempsey's number is two - which he apparently had on his back when playing as a child.
The stuffing has been knocked out of Reading, as you might expect. Is Andre Villas-Boas the real deal then?
