    So White Hart Lane it is then.

    I hear what you're saying, Jimmy, and you've written a good well structured post. I enjoyed reading it. I'm not feeling as morose as you, though. I didn't want to move to Stratford, and am pleased that it looks like we'll be staying put. However, I'm not happy at having West Ham chosen ahead...

    Spurs: more important than England

    You should see me go on about the stuff I do like, mate :wink:. And thanks - I didn't bother. But I still made sure I got the brownie points for missing the game to cook dinner. Good times.

    Spurs: more important than England

    Spurs: more important than England I’ll generally watch any football that’s on and was genuinely annoyed that I missed a Championship game on the BBC last weekend, despite the fact that just three days later I can’t remember who the two teams were. One of them, I think, might have been...

    Paying the Penalty

    The biggest worry for me is that Pav decided he didn't want the one against Bremen. Did anyone see Harry say afterwards that Pav's our take when he's playing and that he (Harry) had no idea why Pav had apparently refused to take it. Fair play to Bale for stepping up, though apparently he's...

    Some thoughts on missing Huddlestone

    And there it is. When you're assured of having so much more possession defence just isn't as much of a worry. No opposition can attack without the ball. It was the same when we had Carrick. Also Huddlestone is so disciplined in his positional play that he's always available to receive the ball...

    We can only play one way (To Dare is To Do)

    [Despite the risk of being mde to look like a complete fool, I am posting this right before the Arsenal fixture. Please remember that if history decides to embarrass me.] Towards the end of last season’s Premier League, Spurs played some scintillating football and secured crucial wins against...

    We Are Spurs. We Play Four-Four-Two!

    Agreed. Also, as Bale and Lennon are encouraged to push on in our current shape, we've become more 4-2-3-1 than 4-4-1-1. And the 4-2-3-1 shape won Spain the World Cup and made Inter the Italian double-winners and European Champions last summer. That said, 4-4-2 has served us very well, and...

    Why only Spurs fans' opinions actually matter

    Thank you. I actually very much enjoyed your lengthy post. I also very much admire your devotion to Los Spurs. Thanks. Yes, if I'm honest, I went off topic for a while there. It was a bit of a pop at the media, but was intended more as a defence against the inevitable Spurs-bashing that...

    Why only Spurs fans' opinions actually matter

    [due to a technical hitch this piece has been published a little late. I actually wrote it right after the Bolton game.] It was about half an hour in to a drab, goalless first half between Chelsea and Spartak Moscow that I heard 5live’s Alan Green said a few words that succinctly spelt...

    The problem lies where?

    The only change I'd have made to yesterday's team is Gunter in for Corluka. From seeing the line-up it was instantly clear we had two players on the left who can move wide, but Corluka and Zokora are both central players doing a job. With Hutton out, and a diamond midfield, I'd play Gunter...
