    Defeats you've Enjoyed

    Last night’s PAOK debacle got me thinking about games that I've enjoyed that we've lost. I was thinking about this, and for me it ranks just below 2004’s epic 5-4 loss to Arsenal and the unforgettable FA Cup defeat when only the mighty Spurs could throw away a three goal half time lead against...

    National Identity?

    http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/blog/2011/may/11/assou-ekotto-bassong-france-race-quotas Interesting article featuring two of our players. Where does everyone stand on the debate, should one represent the country of birth, or your country of origin? Obviously we have interesting...

    Plenty to play for.....

    There is a cliched saying in Football for teams with little to play for at what is otherwise known as the business end of the season. That saying is 'players playing for their futures', in the case of our club a number of players have so much to play for in the remainder of the season, as does...

    'Celebrity Fans'

    I was flicking through The Sun newspaper at work and noticed Jeff Brazier mention in an interview that he was a Spurs fan. Then later in the day I flick on the computer, click on MiddleEasy.com and read an interview with MMA Fighter / Con Lee Murray, and he says..... Any other surprising...

    England's Right Back

    It used to be the left hand side, and now it's the Right. Wright-Phillips, Lennon, Walcott and Johnson are all struggling to impose themselves Post-Beckham. and then they have to work with Glen Johnson, a fine player going forward, but a liability at the back. His nearest competition comes...

    Arteta for England?

    With the imminent retirement of Owen Hargreaves and the loss of form for Joe Cole perhaps the Fabio Capello should attempt to convince Mikel Arteta to play for England since he qualifies on residency grounds. Such a suggestion comes to light after Craig Kieswetter joining the mass of South...

    You're Slaven a laugh

    With the imminent arrival of our latest Croat I begin to wonder if Slaven Bilic could find himself as Harry's future replacement when 'Arry either retires (after winning the Premiership title!) or replaces Fabio (after England bravely crash out in the Semi's on penalties). Just thinking, it...

    A great piece on David Bentley

    http://football365.com/john_nicholson/0,17033,8746_5497634,00.html Pretty much spot on. David Bentley is beginning to personify 'wasted potential'.

    Reserves vs. Arsenal

    Anyone subscribed to Virgin should be able to pick up the Reserves game tonight from 7.00pm. Should be on Arsenal TV. This coverage also probably means that the game will be streamed from the usual 'sources' as well.

    Glory Glory?

    It all clicked in 1991, after becoming a serious Football fan in 1990 aged six, choosing to support Tottenham Hotspur after watching Lineker and Gascoigne at Italia 90 I witnessed a scrappy tense victory over Nottingham Forest at home with my Dad, SHOOT posters adorning my bedroom wall, wearing...

    Anti-Football

    After watching 45 minutes of substandard dross last night when Wigan hosted Everton in 'The Best League in the World' I wondered if Anti-Football is on the rise. You know the style, old school, kick and rush, hustle and bustle, rough and tumble - made famous by the Crazy Gang, modernized by...

    The Mythical 12th Man

    With the atmosphere at the Lane being decidedly tense, isn't it time for us fans to have some fun and begin backing the players 100% again now the shock of our abysmal start has worn off into grim acceptance? I expect us to be like this http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=zHLWclMs_Pw&feature=related...
