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, […]
Year 2000 and beyond As we move towards the new millenium, many have predicted a bleak future. Tales of death and destruction are rife from bible prophecies, to Nostradamus’ little ditties. Well it’s all poppycock. I now exclusively reveal the future as it will unfold during the next 12 months or so. That’s right, it’s […]
Shock! Not. Even if you’ve lived under a rock for the past 10 months, you would still place your mortgage on guessing that either Man U or Arsenal had scaled the heights of the Premiership last season. It’s a well trodden path but I’m going to hike down it one more time. Money has destroyed […]
Phew! It was a long time coming, but it was damn well worth it. It may only have been the Worthington Cup, there may have been Premiership games playing at the same time as it was on and it may have been a God-awful match, but at 5pm on Sunday 21st of March, I saw […]
I’m so excited It seems like ages since we all talked. How you been? Good! Well I’ve been pretty good too (my apologies to those who have been having a shit time of it recently). The most recent developments was of course the cementing of Spurs first cup final in 8 years. The feeling of […]
The revolution continues In the last four weeks, Spurs have continued their good form, beating and drawing with Man Utd, beating Liverpool and Nottm Forest and losing out narrowly to West Ham despite a good performance. The fans are hailing George Graham’s side as one that is destined for big things. But not all fans […]
Surgery ‘Nurse, how are the patients vital signs?’ ‘They are very weak doctor, I think we’re going to lose him….!’ ‘Wait a second, I’ve got it…organisation, commitment, self-belief…yes, I think we’re going to save him!!!!’ ‘Doctor Graham, you’ve staved off disaster! Congratulations…’ Erm, hello? Ok, so what am I talking about? I’m talking about the […]
How on earth…? One of my favourite passtimes since I was about 12 years old is playing football management games on the various computer platforms I’ve owned over the years. I remember starting out with the primitive Football Manager on my Atari 800XL and then I moved on to Treble Champions, Football Director and Championship […]
In my absence I go away for a short time and all hell breaks loose! When I left Dublin Airport for Washington on the 13th of August, Tottenham were two days away from the start of a promising new season. New faces were not plentiful at White Hart Lane but all the injuries had cleared […]
