Tottenham Hotspur

When John Terry got the boot (again) as England Captain I was genuinely surprised that Steven Gerrard was considered the obvious choice to replace him.
Is it just me and my Tottenham bias ( which I try to curtail when writing these articles) or is Scott Parker not the outstanding candidate? The guy is a virtual prototype of what you look for in the ideal captain.
For starters, he is vocal. Very vocal. If anyone is screwing up or not pulling their weight he lets them know about it, but not in a Roy Keane ‘you f***ing w**ker!’ type way. In fact in the post match interviews after a miraculous second half comeback when he was with West Ham I heard every player put the turnaround down to Scott Parker’s rousing half time speech. They said it was inspiring, and the reason they won (don’t know what Avram Grant was doing at the time). Read the rest of this entry »

Let’s not be churlish about the lack of quality signings in this window. It’s understandable after all, and the reason for it is Harry’s continued reluctance to nail his colours to the Spurs mast and say he is staying beyond the summer. Daniel Levy has been through a few managers in his time at Tottenham and he is all too familiar with the problem of buying players only to have a new manager come in who wants to buy his own.

The all important six pointer against man City is all but here and if rumours are to be believed Harry is going with Defoe leading the line.
OK so it hasn’t worked the last 100 times we’ve tried it but hey, 101st time lucky eh.
I can see all the tub thumping ‘we’re gonna do it’ articles about and I sincerely hope this post comes back to haunt me but I’m now very pessimistic. Our massive strength (in the continued absence of a prolific forward) is our attacking midfield which requires a big guy up front who has good movement and can hold up the ball to bring them into play.
Now our whole game is going to be slinging balls through to Defoe who will be playing in nobody but just greedily snatching at everything because he is so desperate to impress, like he did when he was on his 100th goal and had that T shirt on. Read the rest of this entry »

Only three teams can win the league this season. Man City have the squad, Man United have the experience and we (despite Mancini’s protestations to the contrary) play the best football. The brilliant, attacking, free flowing football which can win us the title. The thing is, if our football is so great then how come Man United and Man City have scored a shed load more goals than us?
Our problem is a lack of goalscorers with only Gareth Bale having a decent strike rate for his position. Although they have great attributes Adebayor, Modric, Lennon and recently Van der Vaart have all been pretty woeful in front of goal. We need a prolific goalscorer who can lead the line and there are only a few realistic targets out there. We all know who they are, let’s just buy one already. Read the rest of this entry »

Daniel Levy is the man. We all know that, but sometimes he is just a bit too…’Levy’.
The latest big name we are being linked with is Loic Remy. He is the most important player at his club, Marseilles, who have qualified for the knockout stages of the Champions League and have designs on finishing high enough to qualify next season also. Achieving that and staying in this season’s competition as long as possible will be very lucrative, so how does it make financial sense to sell their best player at this time?

If reports are to be believed, Daniel Levy is set to try and convince Harry Redknapp to commit his future to the club with a transfer war chest of up to £60 million. I hope he is successful, as my opinion of Harry has changed over the last season or two, as has many people’s I think. Read the rest of this entry »

Jude Law Brainwashing His Son Into Supporting Spurs. Good Lad.
I don’t know about you, but I (often for the most spurious of reasons) hate an awful lot of ‘celebrities’ and people in the public eye. If they want to be in my face and make me know them, then they have to be prepared for me to hate their guts.
Every now and again though, I hear or read that one of those ghastly people has the one redeeming feature that in those impressionable years as a wee child they made the right choice and started supporting Tottenham Hotspur. Read the rest of this entry »

According to Sky Sports, AC Milan have failed in their attempt to bring Carlos Tevez to the club. It is thought that a last try at reaching agreement with Manchester City has failed, and the deal is more or less dead. Read the rest of this entry »

In a season like this there are many players to take the accolades, but one name which doesn’t immediately jump to mind is Brad Friedel.
If you are waxing lyrical about the great performers so far you might well say our success is mainly down to Modric, Parker, Bale, Adebayor or even King. Doubtless Harry Redknapp and Daniel Levy have been immense (for their ensuring a Scott Parker and Luka Modric midfield between them if nothing else) but on the field those are the names you think of. So why not Friedel? Read the rest of this entry »

At last the time has come to even things up. All season we have been ending every other Spurs statement regarding the league with, ‘and we’ve got a game in hand!’
Never has a game been so taken for granted. Although we all know that points on the board are better than games in hand, who can truly state that they haven’t been mentally adding on the three ‘Everton points’ every time they look at the league table? As a result, anything less than a win tonight will be a big psychological blow. It is true though that they have a bit of a habit of knocking the wind out of our sails. Read the rest of this entry »
