Watch: Spurs Have Wasted No Time In Making Absolute Shite Of White Hart Lane

In stark contrast to the bizarre scenes at Upton Park The Boleyn Ground this stime last year, Tottenham dealt with their own White Hart Lane farewell with significant class yesterday evening.

An evocative montage and a ceremony involving about six million club legends was as far as Spurs went - Robbie Keane's introduction to the Lane faithful alongside his son, Robert, tugging on Irish heartstrings in particular.

Less than 24 hours later, and BBC cameras have given us a brief tour of the proud North London stadium having already been partially demolished; there's no room for sentiment when the old ground is literally stood in the way of the perpendicular, partially-built new ground.

The pitch is already torn asunder, and all of the seats have been ripped from one of the lower tiers, thrown pitchside like a scene from one of 'those' dystopian films where 85% of the budget is spent on monuments being blown to all shite. Still, it makes for rather sombre viewing as Spurs and the Premier League bid farewell to another famous old venue:
