« Previous EntriesThe Wolves keep Spurs from the door
Wolves have got one over on us again. For the second time in three seasons at the Lane, Mick McCarthy’s men have left our fortress with a result. The 1-1 home draw is certainly going to cool the title talk somewhat going into the Man City match. More…
New signings for the big one
Anything is possible for Harry Redknapp and his Spurs side in the race for glory this season. So says the man himself. However, Redknapp has also openly admitted that two or three new additions this month could provide the added impetus his team may ne…
On Returning Heroes and the Visit of Everton
First Paul Scholes and now bearded volleyball whizz, Terry Henry. Two mammoths of the game busting open the crypts of their Premiership careers for one last undignified waltz under the lights; with every possibility of coughing up something unsavoury into the laps of their adoring fans and making a mess of everything that was once [...]
The night we level it all up (in terms of games played anyway)
Wednesday night at White Hart Lane is when we level it all out and get a true picture of just where we stand. Since the opening day of the season when the locals gave fuel to new songs for our opposing fans, we have been playing catch up. Well no longe…
Window watch: Remy, Ba and Zaha on the agenda
LOIC REMY and Demba Ba are two players who would spice up Harry Redknapp’s forward line. If Spurs chairman Daniel Levy can activate Ba’s release clause he may be able to prise him away from Newcastle. However, surely Spurs won’t be the only s…
Match Preview: Tottenham Hotspur v Everton
So the Premier League season is finally here, it’s Tottenham Hotspur’s opening game versus Everton………. That’s how the preview for this one should have started, but the unfortunate and unseemly rioting of early August put paid to Spurs opening fixture. Now this is the game in hand it’s vital that Spurs get maximum points if they want to be [...]
Ganso available if Arsenal want creativity | Thierry has to spark over 30 rethink at Arsenal
Happy Sunday everyone. Still no football for us to get excited about, but a top of the table grudge match between United and City in the FA Cup should be enough to keep the football cogs turning long enough in the brain for us to make it through to Mon…
Can Spurs Afford Another Quiet January Window?
It’s January, as you might’ve noticed; and if you hadn’t I’d suggest those New Year’s resolutions about not drinking anything that really ought to be kept on a shelf in the shed aren’t going all that well. For the rest of you, you know the score. It’s the beginning of the year and that can [...]
Spurs: Half-term reports
So, 19 games played and we sit third in the table with our best points tally, at this stage, since the legendary 60-61 season. Not too shabby and a position not too many fans would have predicted after two games. So how have the players fared that have…
Dizzying Heights
Excuse me while I cough up an organ momentarily- I’ve just made the dreadful mistake of going on a post-New Year jog in weather I can only describe as ‘a bit blustery’. If I don’t crumple onto the keyboard before the day’s out it’ll be a minor miracleeeeeeeeertttttttttttttyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyhjjj… Well, you can’t say I didn’t warn [...]
‘Arry Needs to Think About His Short-Term Plans First
So ‘Arry reckons he might get a bit bored managing England: ‘I enjoy the day-to-day coming in to work with players, said the media-introvert on Radio 4 this week- going out on the training pitch every day, seeing the players. I don’t know if seeing players once every six or seven weeks….it would be different [...]
Looking Back, This Could Be A Good Point
Everybody yearns to be up there, to be a contender. Yet we’re still puzzling over what success feels like. Here’s another side of it, being the envy of other fans. Top four, playing dazzling football. It won’t be long before the negative coverage begins. Players who have been doing well for an entire season will [...]
Window watch: Surely Harry’s bluffing
It’s going to be a quiet January for Spurs? So Harry says… unless the ‘special player’ he keeps talking about is someway, somehow whisked to North London. As for the identity of said ‘special player’ – Kaka, Le…
Manu’s Bottom. I’ve Got To Worry About Something
It was all a bit of a rush. Fancy letting family stuff get in the way of football. What on earth is happening to me? Anyone would think it’s Christmas or something. So when I switched on the TV it took me a moment to get my bearings. First thing – top left hand corner, [...]
4-2-3-1
HARRY REDKNAPP last night launched the exciting 4-2-3-1 formation many Spurs fans have been mapping out all season. Luka Modric was back in his favoured central role, pulling the strings, getting on the ball and tasked with minimal defensive responsibi…

Match Preview: Tottenham Hotspur v Sunderland
Tottenham Hotspur v Sunderland, White Hart Lane, Sunday 18th December, 3pm Kick off So on Thursday night Spurs European adventure for this season came to an end, despite a 4-0 win at Shamrock.

A Pig’s Ear of a Spurs-Trotters Preview
Aloha and good morning. Just a quick one from me. What to say about Bolton? Not a great deal if I can help it. In his comparatively short turn at t’Reebok, Owen Coyle’s managerial stock has fallen somewhat rapidly. From the Glaswegian Wenger to Sue Barker in the time it takes to polish and glue [...]
Match Preview: Tottenham Hotspur vs Bolton Wanderers
THFC1882 gives a debut to Siva who previews the Bolton game for us. Siva has been a Spurs fan all his life and as the man puts it himself he was born with lilywhite in his vains! The first game Siva remembers was when he was 5 or 6, Ledley King (or Mr Spurs for [...]

A Long Way From Home: WBA-Tottenham Preview
West Brom, then. Uncle Woy caused somewhat of a hoo-hah within the Baggies’ dressing room this week by publicly questioning the legitimacy of striker Peter Odemwingie’s duff knee. I just can’t get the bugger on the pitch, said the softly-spoken Hawthorns supremo. Peter, in a move very much a sign of the times, responded by [...]
Match Preview: WBA v Tottenham Hotspur
Saturday 26th November 2011, 3pm Kick-off. The Hawthorns. It’s a rare Saturday 3pm Saturday kick off for Tottenham Hotspur this week. Not that the game time should faze Harry Redknapp’s dazzling Spurs side, on the face of it, not much could or should at the moment. Eight wins and one draw from the last nine, 25 points [...]
Perfect Spurs continue winning run
Rafa clearly believed in the power of his groin a little too much”Pay your tax, my lord, pay your tax,” the Aston Villa fans sang to Harry Redknapp, to the tune of ‘Kumbaya’, during the second half on Monday night. Within seconds, the home crowd replie…
