1. Return of the Robot Should players never be allowed to party? Tottenham players Peter Crouch and Jonathan Woodgate were pictured dancing to what looked like two complete different songs last weekend, leaving manager Harry Redknapp a bit miffed. Redknapp does not mind players having a few quiet drinks but does not want them “rolling out of […]
Luvfooty brings you what we hope will be at least a new weekly feature where we make a brief analysis of five current football stories out there. We’re good like that. 1. Notts County reveal the man who wasn’t there Pakistani businessman Anwar Shafi has denied any involvement with League Two side Notts County in […]
An opening day victory shouldn’t mask a Spurs performance that, while decent, was made look a lot more efficient than it was by Rafa’s unmotivated Liverpool side. There’s little doubt that Spurs were the better team and deserved the points but it’s the weaknesses still prevalent in the team that give cause for concern. I […]

Jermaine Pennant (Right winger, released by Liverpool) I’ve never quite understood the […]

Usually these messages contain outrageous claims and opinions that are clearly extremist for the shock value. But sometimes, while obvously still troll-esque, they contain opinions that have a mainstream following and do have […]
How did you get on with those boyhood heroes, Keano? Are you good enough for Tottenham again?

I ignored the obvious mistake and a few hours later after realising it was wrong they changed it to “third consecutive win”. So I texted the radio station […]
Well, it’s not entirely random. It will be thought-out and specifically about certain events or people. Mad Rafa He’s still bleating on about not being able to sign Gareth Barry. It seems the board do not share his view that Gareth Barry is good value for money and don’t believe that he is needed to […]
