Any news? Not a lot going on in the Spurs sphere in the last week, eh? Sol Campbell finally made his expected move from Spurs, somewhat unexpectedly to local arch-rivals Arsenal. When I wrote my previous column on Sol, I expressed somewhat restrained anger that Sol had dicked around the fans with his empty declarations […]
Silly Season I know someone who is keeping close tabs on all the players Spurs have been linked with in the media since Glenn Hoddle’s appointment, and at current count it has spiralled up to well over fourty. How many of these have been signed? Three. With the squad in need of beefing up, this […]
It’s All Over We’ve had two years of speculation, debate, stories with no foundation. But it’s all over. Sol Campbell declared this weekend that he will walk away from Spurs, ten years after his first-team debut as a scoring striker against Chelsea. The 26-year old, up until now, completely revered in one half of North […]
Richard Keys (RK): Good evening and welcome to a new series called ‘We Know Football’ here on Sky’s brand new Football Channel 24/7. Each week, myself and an array of footbaling talent, a real ‘who’s-who’ of the footballing world, will discuss those issues that are important to you…and indeed, everyone. Joining me this week is […]
Cheap and Very Cheerful Kids. Who’d have them, eh? Well Tottenham would, and after a mass of big budget transfer flops, who could blame them. David Pleat has been the main mover and shaker behind the purchase of some of Spurs young guns, and behind the scenes former player Chris Hughton has been enabling their […]
Spaceman In 1962, John Glenn became the first American to orbit the Earth. He reached heights that no one thought were possible. He saw things that were only previously documented in fiction. Since then the Glenn experience has helped shape future visions of those who dream of space colonies on the Moon and trips to […]
Negotiate this! White Hart Lane is awash with transfer speculation once again, sadly much of it revolving around our out-of-contract stars, Sol Campbell, Darren Anderton and Les Ferdinand. Obviously when it comes to Solman, it’s a no-brainer. Give him the contract he wants, show him you have ambition and sign some good players to play […]
Gone and Soon Forgotten Friday’s shocking and unexpected events at White Hart Lane have put a completely new spin on the future of Tottenham Hotspur FC. The club’s Vice-Chairman, David Buchler, sacked manager George Graham after the two clashed in Buchler’s office last week. The argument was over George’s decision to tell the press that […]
The Rightful Place So ENIC have arrived, with chief executive and life-long Spurs fan, Daniel Levy, eager to return the club to it’s ‘rightful’ place. Where is that? Well it should probably be as a fairly stylish, European place-challenging, cup run-specialist side. The problem is that while this was a unique niche years ago, modern […]
Style The buzz word on the lips of all Spurs fans since the dawn of time (well since around 1995), is ‘style’. We only really started to talk about it when we stopped seeing it. The older generation will harp on about the style-laden side of the 60s, while those of my generation will reminisce […]
