What Spurs really paid £8m for…

Did the Signing of Van der Vaart Make Sense?

Don’t say this to Harry’s face, but the “Wheeler and Dealer” springs yet another surprise, much to the delight of the Spurs faithful. On deadline day, despite Redknapp’s claims to the contrary, he ended up completing a magnificent piece of business. Or did he? Given the system often used by Redknapp and the plethora of…

Tottenham, Van Der Vaart And The Art Of Brinksmanship

The end of summer has been officially punctuated, at least in a footballing sense – although the weather here is also doing it’s bit.

Stoke ‘goal’ a perfect case for not introducing TV replays

Peter Crouch tried his hardest to stop it going in when playing away on Saturday in Stoke. On this occasion he was successful. Not because it didn’t go in. It did (we think). He just didn’t get caught. Tedious innuendo aside though, are we certain it went in? Lots of cameras and lots of angles…

Premier League Predictions: Big wins for Tottenham, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United

After a bizarre goal against Liverpool that earned arsenal a late draw at anfield, they hammered blackpool by six goals to nil. Theo Walcott scored his first hat-trick…

Its All Just A Little Bit Plastic At Tottenham

Spurs fans will no doubt have to pinch themselves numerous times this week, maybe even dunk their heads in a bucket of ice cold water (to wake themselves up, not to ease their hangovers) as they joined Europe’s elite set of football clubs on Wednesday, and did so with a swagger, taking apart the Swiss…
