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 [...]

Expect A Very Real Title Challenge From Spurs

Since Tottenham’s third game their form has been superior to every other team. Spurs have bar none the best midfield in the country. You would have to look to Spain to find one better, and then not in every position. It contains two world class players of such ability that they would get in any squad in the world.

Dizzying Heights

A Night Of Tension Not Glory

Everybody I talked to said the same thing – we were up for it like no other game in recent memory. Not just a derby, this one has become more sour over the last few years. There’s a bitter edge to it, compared with the intense but long-standing rivalry with the Arsen*l, heightened by the [...]

Black Cats Dispatched

Spurs done a win; the other team didnae. That would by my conclusion of Sunday’s meeting with the floundering Wearsiders. And if that’s not enough woodbine for your mind-pipe then I don’t know if we can go on meeting like this. But, it’s the festive season, I suppose, and I’m a generous sort. Here’re some [...]

It wasn’t pretty. On a cold December Sunday afternoon, Tottenham Hotspur saw off a resilient Sunderland to record a 1-0 victory and get back to winning ways in the Premier League.
