The media are firing broadsides at Tottenham since the first day of the season and no doubt the football club will continue to be a sub-editor’s punchbag after a home defeat to Hull City today. But it’s wholly unfair for any commentator or support to expect anything other than a relegation battle. It is frequently […]
As I write this blog in the company cafeteria, a long-haired techie is filling the otherwise-silent ambience with a string of confident babble about some multi-ring network stretching from Dublin to California via Virginia or something like that. It’s all a bit of an exercise in self-satisfaction. A bit like the way this blog is […]
I’m hardly the most positive or optimistic of Spurs fans. The truth is I’m not sure I really care like I used to – but that’s a blog for another day. Last night Spurs lost for the third time in four league games and were utterly, utterly hopeless in the 1-2 home defeat to Aston […]
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 […]
Given the pasting Spurs got at Middlesbrough this weekend a knee-jerk reaction from some fans was expected. The message boards have been frothing with a sizable minority lambasting manager Juande Ramos for his team selection and tactics; other fans hitting back, saying that the “fickle” nature of Tottenham supporters is well earned. But I defend […]

This “contract” thing It was intriguing to watch Gareth Barry return to first team duties for Aston Villa this weekend given the seemingly burnt bridges that existed between the two parties. Barry made a determination to leave when he heard that Liverpool were interested and openly critcised manager Matin O’Neill in the media. This led […]
How hard can it be? At least Michael Carrick might look useful. The Gareth Barry Mess The red tops have been ensuring that they have had something to write about this summer by updating us daily on the Rafalution. Incase you fell asleep, here it is in a nutshell. Rafa winks at Gareth. Martin tells […]
As explained in the “about” page, I’m a Tottenham fan so occasionally there will be a “Tottenham-focus”. Like right now. Let’s take a peek at the top ten rumours surrounding players coming-and-going from White Hart Lane. Heading for the exit? Younes Kaboul (to Portsmouth, £6m) Kaboul became the fall guy last season – and with […]
Man U News In other news, the transfer merry-go-round continues. Man U think they might fancy a bit of Colombian striker Falcao for £15m rather than shell out £30m for proven Premiership player Dimitar Berbatov. Clearly the Diego Forlan fiasco didn’t dent Sir Fergie’s faith in South American strikers. Perhaps more worryingly for Fergie is […]
