    Unbeaten against the Top 4

    We've drawn with Man Utd, Chelsea and Arsenal and beaten Liverpool. I can't think of another Premier League team who are unbeaten against the top 4, although I don't have the stats at my fingertips. It doesn't mean much, but it's a cheering thought...

    A Pav wallpaper I did, based on a pic on the official site. I really should be using my time more productively. The full-sized pic is here: http://www.themanwhofellasleep.com/x/pav_wallpaper.jpg

    Different management styles

    At Spurs, we've seen Harry Redknapp transform the club. He's adopted his usual style of management, which is to get all the players relaxed and confident and feeling good about themselves. He's took over from Ramos, who seemed like a strict disciplinatian, obsessed by tactics and diet but who...

    Who are our relegation rivals?

    Ok, if we're going to get out of this sh*t, then three other teams are going to have to finish below us. Who will they be? First of all, this season there are no mug teams. There's no equivalent of Derby, except for us. Before the season I think a lot of people would have tipped the...

    Where will we finish in the league? - October Update

    Just over a month ago I did a poll to see where people thought we would finish in the league. http://www.spurscommunity.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=36375 Someone jokily suggested that I repost the poll in a months time when we had climbed the table. So, here it is again. Let's see what...

    We're seeded top in UEFA cup

    http://www.football365.com/story/0,17033,8652_4253646,00.html Tottenham may be bottom of the Premier League but they find themselves among the top-rated teams for Tuesday's UEFA Cup group stage draw. Spurs are in Pot 1 alongside six-times European champions AC Milan, 2006 and 2007 UEFA Cup...

    Crucified by own own greed and ambition

    We're currently in a relegation battle, and if we do go down, we'll deserve it. We can have no excuses. We are a rich club. Of the clubs outside the top 4, we've spent the most money in recent years. We pay big wages. We've been in Europe the last three seasons and can attract the top...

    We screwed up

    So, here we are. It's October and we're bottom of the league, the only team in the Premiership yet to win a game. The messageboard is full of justifiably angry fans. Some are blaming Ramos. Some are blaming Levy and Comolli (and some are trying to find a wormhole in space and time so we can...

    What does a manager do?

    Since there's been a lot of posts about Ramos, I thought I'd look at what managers actually do. There are lots of facets to a manager's role. Let's briefly ignore the role of DoF and just imagine the manager is in charge of player transfers. 1) The manager brings in the players he wants and...

    Where will we finish in the league?

    Before the start of the season, having beaten Roma 5-0, some Spurs fans were optimistic that we might crack the top 4. A month later and things aren't looking so rosy. So, where do you think we'll finish? Be realistic. After all, we're not going to lose EVERY game at home...

    Spurs after 4 games

    I deliberately didn't post last night because I've learnt from experience not to post in anger. So, what do we do now? First of all I don't want to talk about Martin Jol. Yes, I loved the man and it's unpleasant to see Hamburg at the top of the Bundesliga, but I'm more interested in what...

    Falling out of love with football?

    Over the last few days I've heard lots of football fans talk about "the death of football" or how they are sick to death of the game. It's not just Spurs fans. Lots of football fans seem to be feeling very disillusioned by the game. Now, I happen to think that the game is alive and well, but I...

    Anyone demanding that Ramos be sacked is an idiot

    We're two games into the season, and already people are calling of Ramos's head. Yes, we lost both games, and most fans are furious that our excellent pre-season has turned predictably sour. Of course it's disappointing, but does anyone really think that sacking the manager that got us our first...

    Strikers

    It has probably not escaped the attention of most Spurs fans that we currently have a striker problem. Basically, we have Bent, and that's it. Now, was the problem something we could have avoided, or was it beyond the control of the board? We finished the last season limping home in the...

    Berba not playing today

    I've read the statement on the official site. Juande says: "As I said on Thursday, I needed to wait and speak to the player when he returned from international duty and then make a decision about whether or not he was right to play in this game. I have not selected him as I do not think...

    The curse of the transfer window

    After the poor performance against Boro, a lot of people keep pointing out that the transfer window hasn't closed, that we should be patient and that the players we need (central defender, left-back, striker) will come. And I hope they do. But it seems to me that everyone pays too much...

    No more excuses

    Last season was all about transition. But Ramos has now been at the club for long enough to get rid of the players he doesn't rate and to bring in new ones. He's also had six months playing time to imprint his own mentality on the players and make sure that they understand that finishing 11th...
