    Player watch: Danny Rose

    Rose definitely had a good run at the end of the season, and whilst jans game was great, it was one game, and hes our first choice CB i.e. not going to compete with danny for the spot, so I dont think that should be seen as a damming indictment on rose (you could say Jans performance was as good...

    Player watch: Danny Rose

    Havent read/watched his interview but rose has been playing well recently, with an evident chip on his shoulder. As someone who has to deal with racial abuse quite regularly from my fellow spurs fans (in a, its ok cos its just bants kinda way even though i dont know you but i excuse it cos i...

    new kits

    I reckon the plans are right, but the "actual shirt" pictured is an asian knock off using the leaked imitation - hopefully when the shirt is officially released it is as the plans but looks better than the shirt pictured...

    Mabbutt: 'Spurs must sell Modric and move on'

    When the bid comes from one of the big teams, and the player wants to go (and invariably he will), after a bit of negotiation, then yes. Get with the times people, this is how football works today and has done so for a while now.

    Any tips for securing tickets for Real Madrid online

    What time did it sell out at the ticket office? I drove down (dnt live too far) at about 5:30am, followed the queue round the street, then decided it was too long and too risky, and i'd be better off using multiple computers at home and having a go online. Logged on 7:45 - 8am on various...

    Some thoughts on missing Huddlestone

    I think the important thing is how has his absence effected results more than anything else, and to the credit of JJ, modric and the rest of the team we haven't tailed off without him. Sure huddlestone has passing skills amongst other attributes that we don't have a replacement for, but we...

    Long Live the King!

    i think when ppl are talking about a player "with the ball at his feet" it refers more to touch in possession as opposed to how the ball is distributed (i think!). Whereas you always feel safe in the knowledge that king will have a good first touch, and should an attacker choose to shut him...

    Too much hysteria ruining Spurs

    completely agree with your two outlines of "positivity", i have no complaints with either. there are definitely too many people who will write "Jenas is crap" and nothing more, and i cant defend that. However people who say "jenas is crap because..." are too oftened viewed as just being...

    Too much hysteria ruining Spurs

    Totally agree - sometimes fans can be harsh but i scratch my head at all the calls for constant positivity regardless of what's at least performance if not result. We have so far this season taken more or less what we deserved from our performances, Hull being the one exception, but that would...

    We're almost there...

    Comparing scholes and keane to modric and ohara is possibly the most ridiculous thing i've read on this site. ever. The ONLY attribute they share is their height, and if anything keane and scholes are taller but either way thats about it. If keane was still in his prime ohara would probably...

    Run down on players vs Villa

    Only standout performance was Jenas. We looked 10 times better with him in the team. Lennon, Bale and Dos Santos all put up a good show too. Huddlestone, Dawson and Bent should be benched as soon as possible. They offered nothing yesterday, not going to another game until we've seen the...

    Squad Numbers

    dont get me wrong ledley is international class and the best central defender i've ever at tottenham, but he has hardly yet achieved the success to warrent his shirt number being retired, in 10 years time when its time to retire, if he's still with us and has overcome the injury crisis, making...

    Team ratings ( vs Man City )

    agree. I would also say that Kaboul's poor passing was because he was trying to create something given that there was little creativity and the crowd would moan everytime another square pass at the back was made. Thats why we would see him start to carry the ball forward then wen the time came...

    Team ratings ( vs Man City )

    Malbranque was by far the best player on the pitch imo going both ways. jenas and berbatov had a good game too. Lennon started brightly but faded and didnt really do much 2nd half bar the one run he made just before getting subbed. zokora did well but he is still prone to skewing the...

    Is it creativity we lack?

    Maybe we do always break down the right but its not just boot it up to lennon and let him chase, we do string decent passes and moves together down that side, even if it is always down that side. The only teams who really have that kind of "creativity" across the pitch are united and arsenal...

    The 'two nil and you f***ed it up' chants

    I'm the same as Supersonic in that I watched it on tv, and when i heard the fans chanting that it didnt really come across as banter. Obviously those at the game heard the rest of the exchanges between the fans and it would seem that it was all in jest, but at the time I did find it...

    Humble Pie? Give Me The Spoon!

    Probably cos he commits a few fouls and goes down very easily!

    Sven and the 'golden generation'

    Given that he was manager for 3 campaigns, inevitably there are going to be some blips along the way. There are no untouchable teams in football - France lost twice to scotland this campaign, italy drew with lithuania, germany drew with cyprus etc etc these things will happen and yes sven had a...

    Why do people chant for JD

    I've spents some seasons as a season ticket holder, a member who attends regularly, and a non-member who goes to 1 or 2 games a season, and I can say that what you do get is the opportunity to appreciate what a player does more during a whole game because you dont have to necessarily focus on...
