Ah man. This is a game we could, we should have won. Instead, United sneak away from White Hart Lane with a point that never really looked likely for ninety-five minutes. I went into the game with a strange confidence that we could actually beat United. I’m not sure how many people shared that view, certainly those who aren’t Spurs … Read More »

Belatedly, I get ’round to writing the match report. Possibly, probably, almost certainly the most satisfying one I will have written so far! This was an amazing result. I was confident before the game that we’d win, but not even I would’ve believed it would end in that scoreline! At least a couple of times at work leading up the … Read More »

Its not often these days that I find cause for complaint when it comes to value for money when watching Spurs. Unfortunately, having paid £98 for two tickets, not to mention the travel cost, and having had to endure one of the worse footballing performances since Ramos took over, yesterday most definitely is reason for complaint. On the way to … Read More »

With my ear blocked through infection and dosed up on antibiotics I made the trip up to London regardless last night. After some dodgy rear end skittishness from the car on the way up (a sure sign of potential rear puncture) I found that I was running at 6.5psi by the time I arrived at my mum and sister’s. Should … Read More »

We really paid for missed chances in this game. We really did. A replay is of little help now as the fixture pile-up begins. Hang on….. we were here last season as well! For yesterday’s game I dragged myself out of my sickbed. OK, that’s a slight exaggeration, but the pre-Christmas illness was back and it was touch’n’go for a … Read More »

I’d said after the Fulham game that Reading would be a far different proposition. Fulham were, after all, not the toughest test we’ve had to face in recent weeks. I was right about it being a different proposition….. but I defy anybody to have even got close to hinting at the final scoreline! With King playing his second game in … Read More »

Never look a gift horse in the mouth….. 5-1 can rightly be considered a thrashing, but the reality of the game was probably a little different to what the scoreline would suggest for some. We were, it must be said, completely dominant. Fulham were absolutely awful. But this wasn’t a performance of great skill, great flair, great technique. Much more … Read More »

Let’s get one thing clear right from the start – the goal that won it was an absolute screamer. Even sitting at the other end of the stadium I could see that. A worthy challenger for goal of the season. Now let’s look at some statistics. Never mind the very depressing ones that show we are but a point off … Read More »

Let’s be honest, how many of us before this game would’ve expected anything less than a win? I mean, I know we’ve been pretty awful defensively this season, but come on….. Wigan? The ease with which we strolled this game is, I suspect, more indicative of just how much a problem Wigan have (particularly while seeking a new manager), than … Read More »

Tottenham picked up their first win in Group G of the Uefa Cup with a comfortable 2-0 success over Hapoel Tel Aviv. First half goals from Robbie Keane and Dimitar Berbatov were enough to give Juande Ramos’ side all three points. Keane broke the deadlock on 26 minutes when he volleyed home Steed Malbranque’s cross past Hapoel goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama. … Read More »
