Other side of the world After six months of silence, I’m back to really bug you all with self-righteous opinions and the arrogant sway of someone who reckons the world revolves around them. But that’s enough about Roy Keane. I’ve been quiet due to a relocation on the other side of the world – New […]
Whoa, we’re halfway there… Once again they are saying it is the most open title race ever. Five clubs are realistically vying for the Premiership crown after 19 games, and it’s a tight scrap at the bottom too. In this three-part column, we’ll have a look at both, but first lets investigate Tottenham’s first 19 […]
The Draw What were you doing at ten a.m. on Saturday morning? Probably sleeping off Friday night, like me. Meanwhile, in the Far East, a number of FIFA officials and pretty Oriental women were helping to decide what sort of summer Irish and English fans were likely to have. As it turned out, the 2002 […]
Going Dutch On the same day that England recorded their astonishing 5-1 win away to the old enemy in Germany, another international team were turning heads with an equally memorable result. While superstars such as Beckham, Campbell, Owen and Heskey spectacularly annhilated the Germans, the moderate talents of Kilbane, Dunne, McAteer and Finnan led 10-man […]
They All Think Its Over It’s all over for Manchester United apparently. Well if you believe the vultures that are surrouding Old Trafford, in the shape of opposition fans, the media, and indeed their very own loyal prawn sandwich-loving fans. With the sale of Jaap Stam leaving a hole the size of the channel tunnel […]
Appetite I used to have a big ravenous appetite. I mean I would eat until the cows came home, put on their slippers, watched some TV and went to bed. It was scary. But now I have a new diet, eat less, and eat better. So this is not easy for me -I’ve got a […]
Fickle We are supposedly a fickle breed of supporter, us Tottenham fans. A win seems to be the making of a season, a defeat makes it fall apart, while a draw renders us stagnant, unlikely to progress beyond 11th. With three games, two points and just two goals achieved so far this season, the feeling […]
I know best Premiership Season 2001/2002 is almost upon us. It’s not been the most exciting of pre-seasons with few big name transfers to get the blood flowing. But it does promise to be an interesting battle for 2nd, 3rd and 4th place as United once again take the piss out of everyone else in […]
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 […]
