Defoe? Really?

Our massive strength 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 snatching at everything

Match Preview: Man City v Tottenham Hotspur

THFC1882 welcomes another new guest writer. I’ve been wanting this guy to write for the blog for ages and finally he’s found the time. Here’s Adam Nathan with his preview of Tottenham Hotspur’s crucial visit to Manchester City. Spurs travel to the Etihad on Sunday to face perhaps their fiercest competitors for the Premier League [...]

Remy, Huntelaar, Llorente, Sow…Make A Move Daniel

If we had bid £22m for Loic Remy at the start of the window before he’d scored two goals and destroyed Lille, I believe he would be a Spurs player now. Huntelaar has scored 27 goals in 28 games which is a fantastic strike rate even for the Bundesliga. He is no spring chicken but that is reflected in his rumoured £17m price tag. Llorente is a top player who can apparently be bought for around £20/£25m.

Tread Lightly on My Dreams

On Sunday, January 22, 2012, Manchester United will take the pitch against Arsenal at the

Happy to be Written Off

So that’s the title challenge put to bed for another year- I must say it was terrific fun while it lasted. Barely had I got the blue and white bunting down from the loft after our win against Everton, was I then tossing it into the fire with all my tax returns again on Saturday [...]

This might be a good time to play United

I might be clutching at straws a little, but there’s a small amount of evidence

Forget The Bolton Result, Bigger Challenges Lie Ahead!

So mid-January and Manchester United go joint top with a team who have now only won 1 in 5,  and so the Red Army march on to the title while those around them fade into another summer of crazy spending, allowing Rooney to have a few cigarettes, b…

Spurs Transfer activity – Falque, Hoillett, Samba & more

With just two weeks of the January transfer window left, Tottenham Hotspur yesterday made their first signing. Iago Falque’s loan from Juventus was made permanent for a fee rumoured to be around £1.5m. The young Spaniard was immediately sent out on loan to Championship club Southampton. Falque showed glimpses of quality when given chances in [...]

Deep-rooted problems at Arsenal

There are no excuses, yesterday we were outplayed and outfought by a newly promoted side,

Levy Must Break Habit Of A Lifetime To Land Remy

The latest big name we are being linked with is Loic Remy. He is the most important player at his club, Marseille, 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?

Match Report: Tottenham Hotspur 1-1 Wolves

THFC 1882 present Kenny Palmer with a report on Tottenham Hotspurs latest match.

The £60 Million Question For Redknapp

I am now of the opinion that keeping Harry Redknapp at the club is absolutely crucial for our continued growth, in the short term at least. So is £60 million the answer? It’s a lot of money, but I am virtually resigned to losing Redknapp in the summer.

Uh-oh! We’ve Been Rumbled

Any hopes we had of tiptoeing under the radar were swiftly punted into the Thames on Wednesday evening after every man and his lame dog in the days following declared Tottenham of Hotspur as genuine title contenders™. Alan Hansen, David Platt, S’ralex- even our own Heemskerk Howitzer, Rafael Van der Vaart, has pitched his tent [...]

Can Arsenal catch Spurs?

Morning, folks. At present Spurs sit 9 points ahead of us in the table and are mounting a title challenge. Even typing that sentence has made me nauseous and yearn to vomit that abhorrent notion from the darkest recesses of … Continue reading &#8…

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…

Spurs Being Level On Points With United? That’s Something Different

Well who would have thought it, Spurs being level on points with us after 20 games and only three behind Manchester City at the top of the league.
That’s not something that too many Manchester United fans or even drunk Spurs fans would have expe…

Spurs’ REAL Main Man?

Brad Friedel is not in any top ten in the world list, but he is a proper keeper with bundles of experience and has been absolutely vital to us this season.

Livermore Grows Up As Spurs Ditch the Comfort Blanket

Like the child whose parents have surreptitiously removed their much-loved comfort blanket in the night, we woke this morning missing the precious consolation of a game in hand, and soon discovered that we can manage perfectly well without it. For some it provided a welcome safety net, for others the promise of future delights. Now, [...]

To Dare is to Do

Yesterday against Everton, Benoit Assou-Ekotto's thumper into the right corner of the net put an exclamation point on Spurs' remakable run.  Unbelievably, after 20 games, Spurs are tied with United for second…

Disco Benny’s Banger in Full Technicolor

Ruddy nora and crikey hell! What about that, then? An absolute thunder-punt from everyone’s favourite Smart Car-driving, Oyster card-carrying Evening Standard columnist/community support worker/international superstar footballer/all round good egg. If I was describing it using the medium of retro beat ‘em, Street Fighter II, I would conclude thusly: sonic boom + flaming hadouken x hurricane [...]

Match Report: Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 Everton

Tottenham Hotspur tonight moved level on points with second placed Manchester United after a performance of patience and high quality. Everton turned up at The Lane as many teams now do, to sit deep and try and frustrate Spurs. It’s to the credit of Harry Redknapp and his team that they didn’t get frustrated and [...]

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 [...]

Match Preview: Tottenham Hotspur v Everton

So the Premier League season is finally here, it’s Tottenham Hotspur’s opening game versus Everton……….
