What’s another year? An end of year celebration would not be complete without the customary ‘awards ceremony’. Goddle knows it’s been a fairly pathetic year for Spurs but there is more to football than Spurs thankfully, so I’ll have something slightly upbeat to write about in this issue. Premiership Awards 2000 Team of the year […]
Fortress The White Hart Lane fortress continued to evolve this weekend as Mighty Spurs (sic) recorded a pretty good victory over an inconsistent Liverpool side whose title aspirations look to be disappearing as rapidly as Brad Friedel’s hairline (and career). The line ups Tottenham lined up as below Sullivan Perry Young Thelwell Carr Clemence Anderton […]
Boo who? As the season trundles miserably on for Spurs, the fans are getting more irate all the time. The booing was more widespread than ever during last Saturday’s 3-1 win over bottom club Derby, and this prompted a number of reactions from different quarters. George Graham criticized the fans for their backlash despite the […]
West Sham Being stuck here on the Emerald Isle, I rely strongly on Sky TV to bring me a half dozen Spurs games a season. On September 11th I made my way down to my local to see how the maligned Lilywhites would perform in a London battle with struggling West Ham. A chance to […]
Heroes When it comes to heroes, Spurs fans have mainly been loyal to theirs. One only has to view the reception given to former players like Paul Gascoigne, Chris Waddle and Glenn Hoddle, when they have returned to White Hart Lane with their new clubs. So why do these players receive the hero welcome? Is […]
Here we go again Well, it’s time again – the Premiership has kicked off and it’s time for me to tell you how it’s all going to end. I didn’t actually distinguish myself with last seasons predictions. I did get Spurs top scorer right (Iversen – actual goals 16, predicted 11) and I was one […]
The desperate analogy-ridden introduction Poor old George Graham, it seems, can do nothing right. The man with a PhD in Advanced Arsenal Studies has switched courses but so far his results have been considered below par by the shareholders of the THFC College that he attends. His head lecturer, Sir Alan Sugar, has been impressed […]
I’m back! After an eight month absence, I’m back with more half-baked ideas and non-sensical verbal sillyness. To think I missed nearly all of last season and now I’m going to have to play catch up. So what did I make of Tottenham’s tenth place finish in the Premiership last year? Last season It started […]
Transfers The transfer market is not what it used to be. I don’t remember the 1m transfer of Trevor Francis in 1979 but I remember it being spoken about well into the 1980s. In 1988, one of the most talented young players in Britain made a move for a sum of just over 2m – […]
Manager blues We’re less than a month into the new Premiership season and already the patterns for the season are being set. Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea are oozing the usual nauseating class and quality; Aston Villa, Spurs, Everton, Liverpool, West Ham, Leeds and Middelsboro are chasing gallantly with mid-table signs already evident, and Newcastle, […]
