Good Week/Bad Week
Colchester and Norwich... GOOD WEEK Mauricio Pochettino Can you hear that?...Really, it is soothing....the sheer...silence..... Tranquility, save a couple of birds in the distance tweeting about a new striker. A reassuring calmness, not uneasy, just deeply satisfying... Two more wins, not... -
Good Week/Bad Week
A look back at the wins against Sunderland, Leicester and Palace... GOOD WEEK Nacer Chadli It feels a long time since Nacer was scoring goals and winning matches at the beginning of last season. So much has changed in just eighteen months, and his long injury lay-off threatened to make him... -
Good Week/Bad Week
Covering the wins against Norwich and Watford, the draws with Everton and Leicester, and the loss to Leicester... GOOD WEEK Tom Carroll Probably the biggest winner of this period. Scored against Norwich from the bench, and started the other four games, earning a contract extension as the club... -
Good Week/Bad Week
We analysis the draw at West Brom, the win over Monaco, the loss to Newcastle and the win at Saints... GOOD WEEK Erik Lamela A first career hattrick for the Argentine, and slowly but surely the former River Plate starlet is becoming a very good Premier League. First came the work rate, then... -
Good Month/Bad Month
Turns out I've missed the entire month of November, so here we are covering Villa, Anderlecht, Arsenal, West Ham, Qarabag and Chelsea, and also the international period... GOOD MONTH Dele Alli Stretch your mind back to the beginning of November, and the progress made by Alli was... -
Good Week/Bad Week
The thumping of Bournemouth, the disapppointment of Belgium... GOOD WEEK Harry Kane Back in the goals, and a match ball under his arm. It was easy to forget, amongst the goals of last season, that a lot of Kane's goals were great pocher's finishes - the far post tap in, the one touch finish... -
Is Pochettino's machine seizing up?
We've had one very good result (City 4-1), and a lot of games which have been between pretty good and a bit poor. We are not receiving the odd thrashing, but neither are we handing them out. The team/squad is coming together, but in a way that is more solidifying than blossoming. Pochettino has... -
Good Week(s)/Bad Week(s)
Back after a short holiday, we cover the games our league cup exit to Woolwich to yesterday's goalless draw with Liverpool. GOOD WEEK Dele Alli Simply put, looks a Premier League player. Appears to have the kind of tenacity and determination that means even when things are not quite going his... -
Good Week/Bad Week
After two wins in a week, should be good weeks all round... GOOD WEEK Heung-Min Son Three goals in two games, and the £22million signing is away. Unlike some of our attacking midfielders/wing forwards, Son is direct and heads for goal both on and off the ball. Also shows impressive work... -
Good Week/Bad Week
Internationals and the win over Sunderland. Here we go... GOOD WEEK Ryan Mason Slowly seems to be building something alongside Dier, and Mason's drive from midfield and timing of his runs is very impressive. Finally capped one of those runs with a lovely finish in our only real fluent move of... -
Good Week/Bad Week
We've waited for the close of the window.... GOOD WEEK Eric Dier Who said we needed a new defensive midfielder? With each game Dier looks better and better, and, worryingly, better than his more established colleagues in central midfield. We can only hope that the young Englishman will... -
Good Week/Bad Week
Yes, like your daughter's ex-boyfriend or that rash, Good Week/Bad Week is back! For those who are seeing this for the first time, this is a column that evaluates the past week or two for the Spurs boys, staff and players, but does not look too much at individual performance but more about the... -
An evening with Ramon Vega (tonight)
HI everyone, my friend has sponsored an event tonight (23rd) which features a talk with/from ex-Spurs legend Ramon Vega, the man with the biggest thighs I have ever seen on a football pitch. It's £15, and you can make that back and more if the rumours about a free bar are true. Click here to...- Krafty

4-2-3-1, responsibility and fluidity
What is our biggest flaw at the moment? Average players? Lack of real squad depth? Emmanuel Adebayor? Like most things in life, there is no one reason why Tottenham are not playing as well as they can and should. Some players are performing well individually but great performance comes when the...- Krafty

Pochettino's Half-Year School Report
Dear Mr and Mrs Pochettino, Young Mauricio has been at the Tottenham Hotspur Academy for Performance and Drama, and it's time to evaluate his progression to date. I've covered some of the most important subjects below, along with comments from his tutors. It has been a delight to have Mauricio... -
Good Week/Bad Week
Back with a meh... Good Week Ryan Mason Picked up an ankle knock against Burnley and was put on the bench for the win at City, but was brought on at half time and played the full game against United. It's clear that he is not just first choice in midfield right now, but offers so much that... -
Good Week/Bad Week
Or good month/bad month as we cover the games against Hull, Partizan, Everton, Chelsea, Palace, Besiktas, Swansea, Newcastle and Burnley. Here we go... Good Week Harry Kane Now firmly the number one striker at the club. Allies hard work, some decent build up play and generally pleasing... -
Good...three months, Bad three months
Jebus wept. At the time of our last column, Spurs had a 100% winning record. Now? The only thing that is 100% is the disappointment. Never mind echo of glory, even in victory there is a ton of grumbling. Anyway, let's get this back up and running, as we take a look over pretty much the season to... -
Good Week/Bad Week
Back once again for the renegade master, D4 damager with the ill behaviour. We consider the last ten days/two weeks. Good Week Erik Lamela He's alive, and playing well. Pochettino's system should give him (and others) the freedom to roam and he is showing he has the technique to create...
