NEC Nijmegen 0 Spurs 1: Youth, Youth, Youth

Bloody shit do NEC have ugly shirts. Half torso green, half torso red, collar and sleeves black? This isn’t midieval times (You know shirts are damn ugly if I talk about them first). But oh yeah, that game. It was a Jamie O’Hara goal on fourteen minutes that made the difference, in all likelihood sending [...]

Spurs 1 Blackburn 0: Who Needs Robbo? (Wait, No One Does.)
By: Sam | 6 Comments
There goes the cleverness of my headline. Ironically, our first encounter with Paul Robinson since he left this summer only produced one goal (which wasn’t the goalkeeper’s fault, at that). Thanks to Aaron Lennon’s charge and Roman Pavlyuchenko’s finish on nine minutes, we’re now in fifteenth spot, three points down from ninth spot and nine [...]

I had meant to do this post earlier in the week, but it’s now Thursday and what was once just an “is that true?” inkling is now the official, complete-with-pdf word. Tomorrow in north London, Spurs will unveil their initial plans for a new stadium and, um, well…let’s have a word about that.
Now, I [...]

No Keano and no Gerrard. Thanks, Rafa! All of a sudden a meaningless game becomes much more interesting when looking forward to next season.
There’s little glory in retaining the Carling Cup, but it looks more and more like it will be Spurs’ only conceivable route to Europe. If Harry wants to continue [...]

By: Sam | 5 Comments
Phew. Giovani Dos Santos will not, repeat, will not undergo surgery for his ankle injury suffered in training last week. According to Spurs’ official website, he’ll be out for up to four weeks. I already miss watching him run Ronaldo-esquely into the box. (And no, that is not his ankle you see on the left.)
So, [...]

It’s the Daily Mail-free edition of the links, folks, enjoy! As always, commentary and your own links welcome.
Match report extravaganza: Guardian #1, Guardian #2, Times, BBC, Soccernet
Harry’s post-match interview with the Beeb on this “funny ol’ day” was pretty boilerplate. Without trying to beat the dead horse, I am worried about his [...]

After watching FSC’s replay of today’s frankly miraculous win, let’s take a minute to wonder how Benoit Assou-Ekotto continues to get playing time. And let’s even be charitable and forget that he doesn’t even want to be at Spurs. His positioning was shocking all throughout the game, with his complete ignorance of the [...]
City 1 Spurs 2: It Continues!

Manchester City 1 Tottenham 2
Robinho 16′ , Bent 29′ , Bent 64′
City Of Manchester Stadium (41,000)
First of all, this was a great match to watch. Daryl predicted an exciting draw, and he was close, but in the end Harry’s powers have kept up their prolific string of results. Spurs came into this one knowing City [...]

I’d like to make a Spurs and Spurs-related links roundup a daily or semi-weekly feature here at the Spurs Offside, so we’ll start today and see how it goes. As always, comments and suggestions would be very welcome, especially if you have a recommendation for football or Spurs news sites we might want to [...]
Category: Team NewsGame Review: The “Didn’t See THAT One Coming” Edition
By: Max J. | 2 Comments
During a lot of the Ramos era I found myself choking back questions. It seemed wrong to question tactics, team choice, methods, or anything else Juande was doing in his role as Official Savior. But even despite the cup success, there were nagging doubts that festered into the worries and crises that have [...]
