    Downing: Spurs are "no better" than West Ham in race for European qualification

    I like this - it smacks of all the times over the last few years our own players have come out with 'We are overtaking Arsenal' type media soundbites in the build up to the NLD which have rarely preceded a positive result. The more WHU players come out with this sort of crazy talk the less and...

    Stoke City Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

    Totally agree. I remember coming away from that game thinking that we were going to be such a force this season, because we ripped them to shreds for 90 minutes, and should have scored many more that 2 goals. And then not long after we went to Cardiff and did similar for 90 minutes (albeit only...

    I don't know my best team, says boss Tim Sherwood

    Not the best choice of words as ever, but you can see his point. We do have a large squad of very good players, and many of similar style and position, but there's no superstar. Arguably a more healthy place to be although it doesn't feel like it at the moment. Watching Bales winner midweek I'm...

    Townsend determined to rediscover form for Brazil

    I think the Andros situation highlights how much you have to watch a player to really know if they are any good. As Teok said after the England games a lot of non Spurs fans commented to me what an amazing player he was (Bale replacement etc) and its only us who watch the team every week and...

    Nope, its a lease. Retailers increasingly want to derisk by paying a turnover based rent instead of a fixed rent, upwards only 5 yrly reviews and all that jazz which is landlord friendly. Full price shopping centres like Bullring, Westfield (x2) etc have some (only 10% - 20%, but usually the...

    Not strictly true - all outlet mall leases are structured this way (Bicester etc) and increasingly shopping centre leases also, especially anchor tenants. i agree it seems unlikely here if its an exclusive lease, which seems to be in doubt.

    FC Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

    At 6 pm tonight Gomes was with his wife and 2 boys having dinner in Yo Sushi at Westfield. Looking thoroughly miserable as well. Which is odd as the Evening Standard said he was off to Leeds on loan today.

    Long Live the King!

    I can't agree with this. Dawson's use of the ball, while over ambitous at times, has become as good as any other centre back in the country this season. I have lost count of the amount of atacks started by accurate diagonal balls out to the flanks from deep in our own half. He is calm, his...
