Spurs 1 – Villa 1: The Unlikliest of Heroes…

Today saw Tottenham take on Aston villa away at Villa park, in a match that could’ve been greatly influential on the top 4 spots. Villa, who are 3 points below us on the table, could’ve drawn level with us and Arsenal with a win today. But because of the tie we currently sit in 3rd place for at least 24 hours.

Well not the ideal result at home to Stoke, but I’ve got to hand it to Simonsen for a great game in goal for the Potters. The game had a few good chances but it never really worked out for us. Read the rest of this entry »

Spurs Blog is back!: Some catching up to do…

So due to recent events in my life (loss of internet and a recent employment changes) I’ve been unable to keep up with watching games and reporting on them. But I’ve gotten things figured out now, and I’m back in action.

Since My last post we drew away to Bolton, and then won away at Portsmouth. Both obviously important points in our bid to secure our place in the top 4. We currently sit third right behind Chelsea and Man Utd, with the Arse and Mancity hot on our trail.

We play Stoke city this weekend and it should be more than within our reach to take all 3 points.

I’ll keep everyone posted on news with the team.

COYS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Spurs 5 – Burnley 0: KEANE!

By: Drew | Comments 3 Comments


That’s all that needs to be said about today’s game. Lets play a little catchup here, I’ve been out of town for a bit so lets recap. We lost to Chelsea in the league(gay…) and we beat Preston in the carling cup(All Crouch on that one). And now we’re sitting 4th in the league.

Today saw us play Premier league new boys Burnley and demolished them 5-0. We also saw Niko Kranjcar have his debut start for Spurs, which was a good move by Harry I think. Robbie Keane got the start over an in form Peter Crouch, and quite honestly after the game went on I wasn’t as upset considering he got 4 goals on the day. Along with Jermaine Jenas grabbing the other goal.

We play Bolton next week so hopefully we can keep this momentum going.

COYS!

Tottenham: The new Croatian embassy?

By: Drew | Comments 7 Comments


The transfer window has finally slammed shut(thank god) and Spurs were able to sneak one last transfer in the form of Croatian midfielder Niko Kranjcar. Kranjcar joins us from Portsmouth obviously, where he and Harry used to work together. With news that Niko was not looking to renew his contract when it ran out at the end of the season, Paul Hart decided to get some cash for him while he still could. With the fee reportedly in the region of 2.5 million I’d say it was a good bit of business for us.

Obviously this transfer came about after learning Luka Modric would be out with a fractured leg for 6 to 8 weeks. His fellow countrymen Kranjcar has a strong left foot and should slot into our midfield nicely. He also has been known to play central midfield so when Luka comes back to full fitness we should see the two of them working together in the middle of the park.

The clubs official website finally announced the moves of Kevin-Prince Boateng and Jamie O’Hara today as well. Which could very well have made this Kranjcar deal that much easier, what with both the young midfielders heading to Fratton Park.

A couple of other interesting transfer stories were the proposed moves for Martin Petrov from Man City, and Anton Ferdinand from Sunderland. The deal for Petrov would have apparently seen David Bentley heading the other way, and the deal for Ferdinand would have saw Alan Hutton switching to the stadium of light. Both moves fell through obviously but the targets are definitely interesting considering both seem to be in direct relation to where we have injuries in the squad.

Either way I think Kranjcar is a steal if in fact we only payed 2.5 million for him, and I look forward to seeing him in a Spurs shirt. We don’t have #’s 4, 11, or 13 taken so I’d expect him to grab one of those.

Thank God the window has shut without any massive departures for once!

COYS!

Spurs 2 – Brum 1: Victory comes at a price…

By: Drew | Comments 2 Comments


Sorry for the delay on this post but I’ve been having some hardware issues. luckily it would seem that they are behind me.

Well another case of Spurs leaving it late too clinch the 3 points, and Aaron Lennon was the hero again for the second week in a row. After Peter Crouch scored the first goal from a Huddlestone cross, it took less than five minutes for Brum to equalize. It looked like we’d have to say goodbye to our perfect record, until lightening quick Lennon clinched the winner in the 90th minute.

Sadly this victory came at the cost of our Croatian play maker Luka Modric, as after limping off at halftime, scans have shown he has a fractured fibula. The club has announced he’ll be out for about 6 weeks, so it’ll be a hit to our midfield. Luckily we do have Robbie Keane, David Bentley and Giovani Dos Santos that all have experience playing that wide left position. Not to say that Modric won’t be missed as he’s been the shining star in our midfield.

Also in other team news Pascal Chimbonda has completed a transfer to Blackburn after only arriving at Spurs last January, and I’m sure we lost money on that sale. Kevin-Prince Boateng has also been transferred to Pompey for a fee reported to be around 4 million. I wish them both the best at their new clubs.

Joining Kevin will be Jamie O’Hara, who will be going to Pompey on loan after signing a contract extension with Spurs, and I have to say I’m pleased to hear it as he’s been a great workhorse for us. The first team experience at Pompey should be good for the boy.

We’ve got Man Utd next week and we need to keep our run going. Until then…

COYS!
