Tottenham Hotspur 0 Aston Villa 0: How’s This For Boring?

by Dan Fitch on February 8, 2010

‘Boring, boring Villa’ sang our fans in frustration, as we once again failed to find the net at White Hart Lane against stubborn opponents. For me though, there was a far more boring reality that I see looming on the horizon.
Liverpool are now fourth, despite having played terribly for most of the season. They’re grinding [...]

Match Preview: Tottenham Hotspur v Aston Villa

February 6, 2010

I’m not going to be at the game today, due to the imminent arrival of my first child. I’ve got a feeling that I’m going to miss an absolute classic, but at least I’ll be able to watch it on TV. Unless that is, he/she decides to pitch up sometime between now and this evening’s [...]

Defoe’s Hat-Trick Of Hat-Tricks Equals Feat From 1987

February 5, 2010

When Jermain Defoe scored his third goal against Leeds, he became the first Tottenham player to have scored three hat-tricks in a season for over twenty years.
Defoe’s hat-trick against Hull, his five against Wigan and then the three against Leeds on Wednesday, saw him equal a feat not seen at Tottenham since Clive Allen scored [...]

David, It’s Over To You

February 5, 2010

Yesterday we opened a poll to ask you whether you thought that David Bentley had a chance of resurrecting his Tottenham career, or despite his recent form, we should still endeavour to sell him in the summer. A resounding 91% voted that Bentley can be a success a Spurs.
No one should get carried away [...]

Poll: Can David Bentley Resurrect His Career At Tottenham?

February 4, 2010

It rather sums up David Bentley’s Tottenham career that when I went onto Newsnow this morning to read about his exploits last night, I found this story on the Tottenham feed. Talk about constantly attracting negative publicity.
In Bentley’s first season, he was met with two main problems. Firstly he seemed like he felt under pressure [...]

Match Review and Highlights: Leeds United 1 Tottenham Hotspur 3

February 4, 2010

Another great game between two great clubs, only this time we weren’t in the mood to let them back in the game.
Right from the off we were creating chances, with Defoe on the end of most of them. He really should have done better when latching onto a dodgy pass back and then couldn’t find [...]

TottenhamBlog Talks To Mike Leigh From The Spurs Show

February 3, 2010

Last week I was lucky enough to be able to interview Mike Leigh of The Spurs Show podcasts and Betfair Front Room fame.
If you haven’t heard the show, it’s presented by Mike and the comedian Phil Cornwell, who welcome Spurs’ supporting guests into the studio each week for a spot of Tottenham-based chat.
It’s proved to [...]

5 Away FA Cup Replays That Tottenham Won

February 3, 2010

It’s easy to think that you’ve handed over the advantage and are on a hiding to nothing, when you make the long journey for an FA Cup replay, but it’s still possible to pull a victory out of the bag.
Ahead of our match at Leeds tonight, I’ve trawled through the archives to find the last [...]

Match Preview: Leeds United v Tottenham Hotspur

February 3, 2010

Ding, Ding… Round two. The first match was an absolute belter, even if it did have a rather unpalatable ending for us Spurs fans. Tonight, I’m hoping for a rather more clinical performance.
With Modric and Jenas being paired in central midfield, Leeds were met with very little resistance when they countered. This evening I expect [...]

Never Believe Harry As Keane Revisits Second Boyhood With Celtic

February 2, 2010

“Please God, he’ll still be here in February. Robbie’s here. He is the captain and very important to us, unless someone comes up with £50m or something for him.” – Harry Rednapp, January 8th 2010.
It’s no wonder that Harry has a reputation for being a bit shady. When he first came to Spurs I was [...]
