    Newcastle Game: Short term pain, long term gain?

    I've been reading all the fallout from the Newcastle game, here and other places. A thought has occurred to me having read what Poch has said and the way many have responded, that in the long arc of our progress, that game could have done us a massive favour. Yes, I know it hurt a lot, but...

    Call the Midwife Story...

    Anyone else see the Call the Midwife this weekend? It featured (ampongst many other things) a bit where a young man was on his death bed and was being encouraged to stay alive so he could see his baby boy and to see Spurs do the double in the 1961 . One of the writers must be a Spurs...

    Premier League club-trained players at new low (BBC Sport)

    Intresting article from the BBC about the number of club trained players and average age etc. We're well ahead in nearly all areas: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/34767964 This more or less shows what and how much has changed in the last few years.

    Converted Olympic Stadium

    I went to see the Rugby League game between England and the Kiwis at the Olympic Stadium yesterday, so got a taste of what it's going to be like once West Ham occupy it. Have to say I'm very glad we didn't get the stadium. It's probably alright in the first tier near to the pitch, but we were...

    Have a chuckle...

    Thought this was worth sharing with you all, as it's made my day! My next door neighbour's son, who is seven, is currently away on a school trip for a couple of days. It's his birthday soon, so for a surprise, his Mum was going to paint his bed bedroom blue while he was away and put down a new...

    Man U sign Romero...

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/33671260 Surely good news for us as far as losing Lloris goes. Ok, Romero is probably more of a direct replaement for Valdes, but with him around there's less need for them to throw in a big panic transfer for Lloris if they do lose De Gea late on.

    2015-2016 break through plyers

    One of the good things about Spurs in the past few seasons is that we've always had a few break through players getting into the first team that have (more or lesss) come through our youth system. Kane, Rose, Bentaleb and Mason being the obvious ones. The usual path seems to be playing on loan...

    Developing national youth football: Is the Bristish system failing?

    I've been listening to the whole developing youth arguement going on all day involving Trevor Brooking and co. Is youth football really in such a mess? In virtually every team in the premiership there is somebody who has pushed through from the ranks: King and O'Hara being our obvious...
