Clocks going back, I forgot to put my bloody alarm back! Oops! Had something to do with the fact that I cooked a massive curry and sank plenty of beer last night. Tends to make one a shade forgetful late at night. But no matter. I woke to a grey, drizzly day, and thought to myself….. “Mmmmm….. reminds me of … Read More »

I am going to write this without having read anything about other goings on tonight. In time I will digest the fullness of events, but my job here is to write a match report, and that’s what I’ll be doing. So, for the first time since West away last season Patrick joined me at a game. Meeting up at Liverpool … Read More »

Newcastle United heaped more misery on Tottenham with a 3-1 success over the struggling North Londoners at St James’ Park. Spurs really needed a win to lift the pressure on under-fire manager Martin Jol, but defensive mistakes proved costly as The Magpies claimed the points. The game changed on the stroke of half-time when Obafemi Martins got the better of … Read More »

An injury time equaliser from Fernando Torres saved Liverpool from their second home defeat in five days. Torres headed home in the second minute of added time to earn his side a point in a 2-2 draw with Tottenham at Anfield. Andrei Voronin had put Liverpool, who lost to Marseille in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday, in front when … Read More »

Tottenham are through to the second round of the Uefa Cup after their 1-1 draw at Anorthosis Famagusta secured a 7-2 aggregate success. Spurs were always in control of the tie having claimed an impressive 6-1 win at White Hart Lane in the first leg. Despite making a lively start in Cyprus, Martin Jol’s side failed to forge ahead with … Read More »

Tonight I’d agreed to take an American to the game. Guy I know through work who’s been dead keen to go, so my sister sacrificed her ticket. I hired a car – no bloody chance I was going to try finding parking for my own motor around Tottenham for an evening KO! – and headed up to London. Nightmare journey. … Read More »

A comfortable victory and a scoreline that should see us progress to the group stages of the UEFA Cup for the second season running. In truth, the result owed much to a spell of five minutes late in the first half where we bagged three goals, while the scoreline owed much to the sublime finishing of Jermain Defoe. Ahead of … Read More »

Sad but true – in recent seasons we have had a habit of taking the lead against the Gooners and throwing it away. Yet again, we have managed to repeat this feat. Unfortunately, today’s scoreline is a touch more embarrassing than those of recent seasons (leave aside the 3-0 defeat at The Emirates last season), and under the intense media … Read More »

Tottenham’s £40million strike force could not find a way past Everton at White Hart Lane as David Moyes’s men stormed to the top of the Premier League. Spurs boss Martin Jol had Darren Bent, Dimitar Berbatov and Robbie in his starting XI and brought Jermain Defoe off the bench, but it was his problems at the back that were exposed … Read More »

Oh dear. Not quite the start to the season any of us was after. An injury time defeat to newly promoted Sunderland, who, if I remember rightly, took until the penultimate game of the season last time they were in the top flight to win at home? It was, frankly, not a performance that deserved a victory – for either … Read More »
