    The Glory Game - Boost or Burden ?

    “Football is about glory, it is about doing things in style and with a flourish, about going out and beating the lot, not waiting for them to die of boredom" Danny Blanchflower's legendary quote defines the 'Tottenham style'. Skilful attacking football. Winning 5-4 instead of 1-0. For 50-odd...

    What would we have to bitch about if...

    In a parallel universe, we're not bottom of the Prem - we're top ! P: 6 W: 6 Goals For: 18 Goals Against: 0 Pts: 18 But we're Spurs fans - and life has no meaning unless we can bitch about something. Like... - only putting 4 past Chelsea. I know Bent got 3, but he missed so many... -...

    Stick with Ramos. Or...

    Seems maybe it comes down to a simple choice. Do you look at our position in the table; our crumbling morale; our clueless team selection; decide it's all Ramos fault and kick him out ? This means history will repeat itself for the umpteenth time - a new manager arrives in the autumn and...

    "Tottenham will come good"

    I read this optimistic hope in a lot of threads - but I'm curious to know how the posters would define "coming good" this season. Avoiding relegation ? Mid-table finish ? Top-4 ? Winning a Cup ? Winning a game ? Establishing a first-choice starting XI ? Anything else ? Personally I'd...

    Berbatov's Ambitions at ManU

    This from that fine football paper the Northampton Chronicle - Berbatov: I want to do for United what I did for Tottenham Two 5th places, a midtable finish, a couple of seasons in the UEFA Cup and a win in the Carling. Yes...I could live with Utd achieving that over the next 2-3 seasons.

    What Next ?

    We have to somehow get through the next three months and pray that neither Bent nor Pavly get injured. If they do, we are massively screwed. (And don't knock them until they've played together a few times - who'd have predicted Keane/Berbs would be a 50-goal a season pairing ?) We have to get...

    A Rant

    Sorry...I have to get this out my system. Having put up only token resistance before allowing Keane to leave, can the club really be that surprised when Berbatov throws a giant strop when he isn't allowed to do the same ? Can any transfer possibly have been handled any worse ? Levy seems so...

    Juande's Striker Tactics

    From the transfers in so far, with the money going on strongly attacking, quick mf's, it seems to me that Ramos is giving himself the tactical options of starting with either one or two (or maybe even three) up front depending on the demands of any particular game, without tying himself rigidly...

    Berbs: Suppose He Stays ?

    With ManU's interest allegedly cooling (a bargaining ploy/red-top invention ?) Maybe the moody Bulgar's destined to stay at the Lane ? But what's best I wonder - a stroppy Dimitar feeling like an old lag who'd had his parole turned down ? Or is he pro enough to shrug it off and put it out of...

    Transfers: How They REALLY Happen

    Tired of seeing Tottenham linked with a new player every hour ? Brassed of with Benitez ? Wonder where those ace hacks on the red-tops get their scoops ? Here's the inside story... Red Top Hack: Hello Emil Danchev. Just checking, what's Berba's favourite food ? Danchev: Spaghetti Next Day's...

    Robbo - Still No1 ?

    We've been linked with so many keepers, I thought this was the one position that would've been done/dusted by now - unless Kameni/Gomez/Hart/Coupet appears at the Lane in the next few days. So I wonder if there might've been a management rethink about dumping Robbo ? Or maybe they always...

    Modric - Gotta Love Him

    Right in the middle of Euro08 and still coming out with daily quotes about how much he's looking forward to playing for Tottenham, and what a great club it is with so many good players. Bless him. All he needs to do now is issue a plea for Berbs to stay; name 'Ossie's Dream' as his all-time...

    The Heart of the Team

    We talk - rightly - about the importance of having a settled team. But however settled and blended our first-choice starting XI is, they obviously can't and won't play every game. Question is, who will Ramos regard as the heart of the team...the key group of players that'll automatically...

    Just One Player...

    Of all the 10,846 players to be linked with Tottenham since the end of the season, who's the one, more than anyone else, would you just lurve to see at the Lane ?

    Let's All Laugh At Arsene...

    Last night I was watching a football prog on TV in Italy where I live and the panel were discussing who the next manager of Inter might be. Various names like Mourinho were suggested and seriously discussed and then the host said, "Well...what about Arsene Wenger ? Do you think he'd be the...

    Squad Numbers

    Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez will not use the number seven in his squad next year because of the pressure it puts on players to live up to previous incumbents like Kevin Keegan and Kenny Dalglish. (News of the World) In American sport, when a club legend retires/moves on, his squad number is...
