Performance Analysis I’m not going to bore you with some sort of unnecessary preamble. I will simply say that Spurs have had an ok season and here’s what I think of each player’s individual performance. The scale I’ve rated all the players based on their performances through the season. In a percentage of cases I […]
Just noticed this. Jermaine Jenas could face disciplinary action over his comments about referee Howard Webb following Tottenham’s 5-2 defeat at Manchester United. The Spurs and England midfielder accused Webb of “crumbling under pressure” after the hosts were awarded a controversial penalty while 2-0 down. An Football Association spokesman said: “We have written to Jermaine […]
A smidgen of credit for ‘Arry Yeah I was f’n and blindin’ ‘Arry three months ago. Deservedly so, I think. Now, Spurs are well clear of relegation and a point off seventh place and a place in Europe so I look somewhat “wrong”. Right? Well, not quite. I did say at the end of the […]
I’m sure a certain amount of self-delusion must be required for the likes of Darron Gibson, Anthony Stokes, Glenn Whelan and Keith Andrews to retain their self-belief as part of the Republic of Ireland international squad. Few would argue that the above are good enough to be selected in a squad ahead of Fat Andy […]
Axe I don’t really have an axe to grind with occasional footballer David Beckham. He seems a good family guy (leaving aside the Rebecca Loos shenanigans) and a pretty decent bloke. However, it’s fair to say that David Beckham’s career has always been about David Beckham. Man U There’s a fairly strong argument for him […]
How did you get on with those boyhood heroes, Keano? Are you good enough for Tottenham again?
Hey ‘Arry, rather than chuck away £25m on Defoe and Palacios, why not bid for these guys? Even this one would be an improvement. Don’t worry if you can’t afford to buy the entire first team squad – we can always bargain with any old tat we have lying around.
There’s been no pretence on my part to like Harry Redknapp. For me his tenure at Spurs is like giving a market trader a job at ‘Arrods. In an earlier blog I lamented his appointment with observation such as “he’s crass, rarely takes a defeat on the chin without having a go at a referee […]
It’s the wheeler-dealer’s first transfer window at Tottenham and although Florin Raducioiu, Marco Boogers, Dani and Javier Margas are unlikely to arrive, there are some very familiar faces lined up. I’m going to take a look at the rumoured ins and outs and give my own take on them. Why? Cos this is my column […]
Back in August I predicted how the Premier League might pan out. It’s time now to look back, laugh at or laud my predictions. How exciting… 1st Manchester United Currently: 3rd What I said: Man U retaining is not a banker … Rooney must be used effectively … Ronaldo is key man … What has […]
