    Zonal marking

    Watching the City United game tonight, I couldn't help but laugh at all the unfair stick given to Chris Smalling. Most of us here will have played football, and know how difficult it can be to stop an opposing player running at full speed. When you defend man to man, this is basically the...

    Semi-Final goalkeeper

    Having a bit of a debate on twitter about who should be the keeper against Chelsea in the Cup Semi. For me, it's a no-brainer, it has to be Friedel; not playing your best team in a Cup Semi is just plain stupid, and I don't really agree with going with sentiment for sentiment's sake...

    Spurs XI Friendlies in the Algarve

    Just wondering if anyone had any info on the two friendlies our XI will be playing against Brighton and Nottingham Forest on the 15th and 19th of this month? Obviously the main squad have gone out to South Africa, but I was just wondering if the whole squad have gone there or they have split...

    Liverpool (H)-Where's our European Cup?

    I really didn’t expect to be as nervous as I was for the game on Sunday as I made my way to White Hart Lane. Throughout the week, we had seen off the old enemy in classic Spurs style and then done an extremely-un-spurs-like-but-very-nice-and-professional-job against Werder Bremen that secured...

    West Ham United (A) Everything goes wrong at the hands of the resurgent Hammers

    There is a school of thought that suggests that by delaying the analysis of an event, you are able to shake off any reactionary judgments and examine the incident through a more rational eye. The lateness of this match report has absolutely nothing to do with that. In truth, the thought of...

    West Bromwich Albion (A) Spurs frustrated again as attacking options look worrying

    For whatever reason, we never play well at the Hawthorns. Dubbed the yo-yo team of English football due to their constant promotion and relegation, a game against West Brom is usually met with radical ideas to rest players and try out new formations due to the inevitable cricket score that we...

    Young Boys BSC (A) Spurs dig deep to avoid embarrassment in Bern

    Whilst it might be an old cliché, you simply never know what you’re going to get as a supporter of Tottenham Hotspur. For the umpteenth time in my 20 years of being a fan, a supposedly straightforward task proved to be anything but in Switzerland as Young Boys provided a far tougher opponent...

    Could you forgive Yann Kermorgant?

    Im sure we've all seen it, but basically in the Leicester vs Cardiff game last night, the penalty shoot out was tied at 3-3, and Yann Kermorgant, the Leicester striker strode up and tried to chip his penalty down the middle-it was so poor and slow that the keeper had enough time to halt his...

    Ridiculous conincidences about Wednesday's game

    I was thinking about the game on Wendesday, and then chuckled when i realised that the last time we beat Arsenal in the league, the score was also 2-1. Then i remembered that in both games, we went two nil up and Arsenal got a goal back. Fine, no big deal. Then i remembered that the game...

    Does this represent part of the problem with our players?

    Just read an interview with Redknapp in which he said this about our players, on the subject of us faltering like the Spurs sides of the past 10 years:- “These players don’t know what happened four years ago; they probably don’t even know they won the double in 1961! They wouldn’t have heard...

    Shooting from free kicks

    The more ive watched us, or any other team for that matter, the more i can't understand why teams shoot from free kicks that are further than 22/23 yards out. Obviously its a great opportunity to get a strike in on goal, but id love to know the percentage of free kick shots that result in...

    Gomes yesterday

    Not sure if you would have seen this if you weren't at the game, but the Octopus man was in all sorts of trouble yesterday, especially in the first half when he was right in front of us. from the moment he came out of the tunnel, he was lifting his arm gingerly, trying to keep it moving...

    A more light-hearted gripe about the Hull game

    There's obviously been a lot of complaining about the game on Saturday, and personally i feel a lot of it is justified. However, one thing that i noticed was how SLOW everything was during the game, especially in the first half, and we seemed to allow the tempo to drop to the pace that Hull...

    Togo Coach attacked

    Didnt hear the whole news report, but the Togo team coach (vehicle not manager) has been attacked by Congolese rebels I think i heard. 5 people have been shot, including two players-ill try and find out some more info now...

    The impact of the atmosphere on yesterday's game

    Sitting at the game yesterday, i couldnt help but notice that, epecially in the first half, the fans were somewhat in a state of continual frenzy, something that ive not seen in 15 years of being a season ticket holder. The causes of this are fairly obvious; with our fantastic start, there...
