Full-time: It is all over at White Hart Lane, with Spurs claiming a deserved triumph. Thank you all for your emails - they kept me thoroughly entertained. Stay with skysports.com for post-match reaction and player ratings. Cheerio.

89 - Displeased: Mr Monk is rather unhappy at Redknapp's delay in making changes. Speaking of which, he makes another with Hughes heading off for Mvuemba.

86 - Playing for time: Spurs are happy to play keep-ball now as two late goals appear to have handed them victory.

83 - Subs: Keane is replaced by Tainio, while Baros comes on for Kanu.

82 - GOAL!!! It's 2-0! Bent - supersub - leaves Hreidarsson for dead before cutting back to fellow sub O'Hara, who taps hope coolly. Game, set and match.

80 - GOAL!!! Spurs score! Berbatov scuffs an effort goalwards, and Bent turns it past James with a direct header into the corner.

79 - Suggestions: I am required to tally my player ratings at the end of the game. Any suggestions for man of the match? James.Dall@bskyb.com to get in contact.

76 - Should score: A long ball from Johnson sees Kanu through. He nods past Robinson, but his header lacks power and Spurs clear off the line. James.Dall@bskyb.com

75 - Butter fingers: An ambitious effort from distance should be easy for Robinson, but the Spurs keeper momentarily loses his concentration and spills the ball. He quickly gathers though - lucky boy.

73 - Female influence: The vast majority of emails have been from men, but Stacey Daly has bucked the trend and got in contact issuing a rallying cry for Spurs, while Emily Jordan is 'busy' doing her dissertation while reading.

70 - Changes: Bent and O'Hara replace Lennon and Dawson. And, no, sorry David Clemson (in China), Spurs do not look like scoring at the moment.

66 - Not my fault! A quick word for the many of you that are wiling away your work hours by tuning into the commentary. I can in no way be held accountable if you lose your jobs! Maybe open a spreadsheet on the sly in case you boss strolls past!

63 - Flat: It is all rather quiet as the sleet eases off. Portsmouth are defending firm, but look rather toothless in attack.

57 - Booking: Utaka is carded. Not sure why. Awful refereeing really as the winger accidentally clashed heads with Chimbonda. By the way, I feel the new, swish photo on the commentary deserves a mention! James.Dall@bskyb.com to get in contact.

54 - Not quite happening for Spurs, who are comfortable but not testing David James. Daniel Yates is reading while at his son's play (tut, tut) via is Blackberry (how very swanky) and has promised to give him a thumbs up or down, depending on the game's scoreline.

50 - Lennon: The tricky winger draws a groan from the crowd as he does well down the right only to deliver poorly. Oh, and a hello to Allen who is reading from an oil terminal control room in Azerbaijan.

48 - Touché: Tom Large has challenged Lee Bartram's strange location with one of his own. He is in 'a disaster of a hotel bar just outside Dniepropetrosk in the eastern ukraine'.

Underway: And we're back, with Portsmouth getting the second period underway. Fair play to Lee Bartram, who is reading the commentary from a Tengiz oil field in Kazakhstan!

Intrigue: Alan Green has noticed that Pompey's play has got scant mention. That is simply down to them failing to hold onto possession. Davis did test Robinson, with that wondrous chip effort, but that is the only chance Redknapp's side has created.

Scathing: Mr. Monk (elusive) has emailed in lambasting Utaka. I have to admit he has been rather sluggish - I would not be surprised to see him be replaced at the interval.

Phew: A few minutes break for me then, do not forget that you can get in contact at James.Dall@bskyb.com. Paul Davies has challenged you all to better his 'strangest place to read the commentary' as he his currently on the QE2 in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

Half-time: It's a 0-0 stalemate at the break. Spurs have all-but dominated, hitting the bar and having a goal disallowed. Redknapp might think about implementing a 4-4-2 in the second period, with Baros alongside Kanu. Now onto your feedback... Mark Ronan has emailed in from Spain, boasting that he is lapping up the baking hot weather (I have gone a tad green). Ronnie Kennedy, you can wave all you like from Belfast but I am not sure I can see you all the way from the skysports.com HQ in Leeds! Anyway, I am off for a refreshing glass of water. We shall converse again shortly.

45 - First-time: Huddlestone hits a wicked strike first-time, but it zooms over the bar. How it is 0-0, I will never know.

42 - Quiet: The volume at White Hart Lane has dropped as Portsmouth sit back frustrating their opposition. In other news, Lee Everitt has put a whopping £20 - with skybet I hope - on Spurs to win 3-1. The drinks are on you then if your bet pays off.

39 - Neutral view: Daz Rudge - a United fan - believes it is only a matter of time before Spurs break the deadlock as Pompey are struggling to deal with their tempo.

37 - Advice: Ben Hanvey has offered Steven Giles some advice, saying: "tell Stephen Giles not to bother. Buying a Wii was the biggest mistake I ever made, can't get the Mrs. off the bloody thing! Get a 360 instead, women hate them, guarantee yourself some gametime." Back to football then, and it is all Spurs really with Ramos' knocking the ball around sweetly.

35 - Wayward:Berbatov looks destined to open the scoring, but a combination of a loss of balance and the ball getting stuck under his feet results in the Bulgarian swiping well wide.

33 - Treat: Steven Giles is trying in vain to convince his wife that they should go out and purchase a Wii today. Apparently a Spurs win combined with a mention in the commentary could sway her. I have held up my end of the bargain!

31 - Boom: Portsmouth fail to deal with a corner and Dawson thumps at goal. His effort cracks off the bar. And as the old cliché goes, the woodwork is still shaking.

28 - Disallowed: Spurs have a goal chalked off after Berbatov is called offside. He was marginally off just as Keane slipped him in. Oh, and Lee Everitt, get back to work!

26 - Toughie: Paul Gibbs is torn as he was born in Portsmouth (me too) but supported Spurs since he was a wee boy. Nonetheless, he is opting for a 3-1 Spurs win and so is Peter Digby.

23 - Respite: A minor rest for my speedy fingertips as the tempo of the game slows. Anyway, Randle Matthew believes Pompey's system can only be a success if Kanu brings the attacking midfielders into the game. I echo your thoughts pal.

19 - Inches: Chimbonda smashes a dropping ball first-time and his effort falls just wide of James' left-hand post - a cracking effort.

18 - Stroll: Jack Ruby has just informed me that he is shortly off to the bookies to place a bet on his prediction of a 4-1 Tottenham triumph. Ben Hanvey does not agree with you though Jack, and believes a draw is more likely.

17 - Cheeky: Davis gets his head and sees Robinson off his line. He attempts a gorgeous lob over the Spurs shot-stopper, but Robinson scurries back to tip over expertly.

15 - Crikey: First, James gathers from Huddlestone's powerful free-kick. Then, Keane sneakily attempts to nip in from behind as James places the ball down to clear. He just about gets away with his dallying. The Spurs supporters' noise of excitement actually handed him a warning.

12 - Ferocious: Tottenham have begun the game at a frightening pace, and it is Keane that goes close this time, firing a low half-volley at David James.

11 - Almost: Tottenham go mighty close from a quick free-kick with Chimbonda stretching; however Pompey scrap clear. Get in contact at James.Dall@bskyb.com

9 - Pompey fans? Plenty of emails form the Spurs contingent, but what about the men/women from the South Coast? Also, do not forget to fill me in on where you are reading the commentary from; whether it be in a London university library, your garden in Paris or from Perth (Nicholas).

6 - Tight: Spurs are passing the ball around neatly, but Portsmouth's five-man midfield is restricting their space. Jack Ruby has predicted a 4-1 Tottenham success. You got any money on that Jack? Not that I am encouraging betting, but a cheeky punt certainly does spice things up.

4 - Isolated: Kanu looks a lonely figure up top on his own as Portsmouth struggle to find him. Spurs have definitely started the better.

Backing: Patrick O'Callaghan is firmly behind his beloved Tottenham, and believes they will run out comfortable winners.

1 - Bright: Immediately impressive start from Spurs as Berbatov and Keane quickly combine. The move eventually breaks down though.

Kick-off: Spurs get the game underway with the hail pelting down. Here is hoping for an absolute cracker. Meanwhile, Matthew Tarry has got in touch venting his frustration at Defoe's absence. It is James.Dall@bskyb.com to get in touch.

Gutted: Defoe has just spoken to our very own Geoff Shreeves expressing his sheer disappointment at not being able to play today. In other news, Scott Berry believes the clash is destined for a draw. Thoughts?

Right then, I promised a proper pre-match intro, so he we go: First and foremost, the lack of Defoe is certainly a talking point. The 25-year-old striker has been in brilliant form - netting six goals in as many games - since his transfer deadline day switch to Fratton Park. But Pompey boss Harry Redknapp has had to make do without him due to league rules. So Kanu looks like he will play a lone role for Pompey - on a side-note the absence of Diarra is a blow as he has been superb since his move from Arsenal. Juande Ramos, meanwhile, has named a strong side for the encounter which promises to deliver goals, goals and more goals - there has been 109 strikes in Tottenham's 30 league games this season. Glorious stuff. Here is hoping for more of the same. Remember you can get in contact at James.Dall@bskyb.com.
