    Robbie Keane

    And I'm sure you do :roll: Come on, tell us how despite the various reports about Keane's demands handicapping the interest/serious movement from some of the interested clubs you, Archibald&Crooks here, know that those reports are totally wrong and Keane in fact is happy to accept deals that...

    Tottenham vs Charlton: Match Thread

    I said before the match that it was inevitable that our forwards would suffer from the lack of creativity from central midfield and the line-up in midfield where 3 out of 4 players have hardly played this season. It proved exactly the case in the first half. As soon as Modric came on, the...

    Tottenham vs Charlton: Match Thread

    Good enough to be a sub v Chelsea, but not good enough to be a sub v Charlton at home in 3rd round of FA Cup?

    Tottenham vs Charlton: Match Thread

    No creativity in central midfield and a slow Kranjcar on the left, with a young reserve player on the right - hardly good news for Defoe and Pavlyuchenko... Just wondering what is happening with Giovani and when & where is he going to escape Harry hell. From being a sub against Chelsea a few...

    Robbie Keane

    "Normal" world of living does not have much to do with the world of top level football - and I think you know that yourself. This argument of "what would you do in his shoes" is rather absurd - because none of us would ever have been in top earning Premiership footballer's shoes who are paid...

    Steven Pienaar- Finaly A Spurs player

    I suggested Pienaar back in summer of 2009 and am glad we are finally looking at him as an option. I think he is better than Kranjcar (apart from goalscoring), Bentley (in everything bar the occasional cross), Jenas as a dynamic midfielder supporting attack and linking up between defence and...

    Robbie Keane

    With his demands for a 4-year contract at high wages Keane is pricing himself out of serious market and we are in danger of having a disgruntled past-it player till the end of transfer window while we are trying to sign a high quality new striker. He really needs to lower his ego levels now.

    Luis Suarez moves to Liverpool

    Suarez's game is helped hugely by Forlan in Uruguay national team. It was quite evident at World Cup especially. VDV can work well with Suarez too, in a similar manner to Forlan, where the more intelligent attacking player is linking up and creating for the more direct striker while benefiting...

    Our strikers

    I agree with most of this, except that with the forwards line-up of Suarez, Defoe, Pav, Carroll it would be impossible to keep 2 (if not 3 considering VDV and Modric are must-play ones, making it the 4-4-1-1 system most of the time) of them involved enough, which would inevitably cause...

    Ratings against Fulham

    Dawson MOM for me. Modric 2nd place. Once again, although most of the team - apart from defence and perhaps Modric - played quite poorly, the easy "lowest points" target is Pav. The typical mediocre British ex-player TV commentary was the same cliche after cliche too. Perhaps instead we could...

    kyle walker

    I agree he is getting good experience of regular match practice for a team at the top of their league. However, if BAE gets injured/suspended for 3 games, we will have to put Bale back to LB - which would reduce our attacking threat and increase risk in defence greatly, in the opinion of many...

    Aston Villa Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

    This point I agree with fully. Although as one of staunchest Harry's believers, you might admit that was Harry's main attacking tactics in his usual line-up with VDV and Crouch before Defoe came back.

    Aston Villa Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

    Too bad we did not get to see more of the VDV + Defoe partnership up front, although Defoe was not so sharp today and wasted a couple of very good chances made by Van der Vaart. But it was very encouraging to see Spurs use the talented midfield more and play their way out on the ground...

    Aston Villa Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

    Bassong and Dawson were very good against Chelsea, and it must be quite disheartening for Bassong to keep being placed back on the bench as soon as someone whom the manager prefers more is fit enough. Kaboul is one of Harry's boys and will always have a chance under him. Let's hope he does not...

    Rafa Benitez sacked by Inter Milan....(Reports)

    My thoughts exactly. Let's not pretend Harry will think a lot about what Spurs fans will make of it, and that's quite natural too. He probably sees England National team manager as the ultimate job for an English coach, and he would actually be quite suited to that job - with his simple approach...
