March 4, 2010

Flicking through Adam Powley and Martin Cloake’s Tot-tastic trivia tome The Spurs Miscellany, my attention was drawn to the illustrative spread showing the different shirts the club has worn since its inception in 1882.

Why Is Crouch So Much More Deadly For Country Than Club?

March 4, 2010

Peter Crouch pretty much booked his plane ticket to South Africa this summer, with two goals against Egypt last night. Despite his excellent goalscoring record for England, his place in the World Cup squad was still in doubt, as Capello tries to find the right mix up front.
Capello’s main priority is to find a blend [...]

How I Became A West Country Spurs Fan

March 3, 2010

For me the love affair with Tottenham Hotspur started in the black-and-white days of the 70s. Growing up in Cornwall made it difficult to see my Lilywhite heroes play live football, but nothing would keep me away from the television on a Sunday afternoon when the Big Match would start at 2 p.m.
The fantastic Brian [...]

Dawson And Bassong: The Unlikely Lads Are Playing A Blinder

March 3, 2010

If everybody was fit, I have no doubts that Harry’s first choice defensive pairing would be Ledley King and Jonathan Woodgate. However, with Woodgate being sighted as often as Lord Lucan this season and Ledley’s knee being as reliable as our penalty takers, Michael Dawson and Sebastian Bassong have played together more than anybody could [...]

Hi soccer nuts, Dan Fitch of the Cincinnati Torturer here, reporting on yesterday’s crucial crunch game between the Tottenham Hotspur Hotspurs and the Liverpool Toffeemen.

Tottenham Hotspur v Everton: Toffees Could Be Sticky For Sickly Spurs

February 27, 2010

I’m all for this race for fourth place but it comes to something when I can’t unreservedly enjoy Chelsea being beaten at home.
Manchester City’s surprise win has put them into pole position in the battle for fourth, on an afternoon when Jamie O’Hara proved that even on-loan Spurs players can’t take penalties.

Why The Carling Cup Final Can Mean As Much The Champions League

February 26, 2010

As we approach this season’s League Cup Final it automatically provokes memories of our recent Wembley Way excursions, of the glory and relief of the 2008 success against Chelsea followed by the disappointing display against Man Utd a year later. It leads me back to the memories of two epic Sunday afternoons in a local [...]

6 Fictional Spurs Supporters

February 25, 2010

One of the major problems with television drama is that the characters don’t talk about football as much as people do in real life.
You might occasionally see Minty from Eastenders with a West Ham scarf around his neck, but you don’t see him and Billy Mitchell getting pissed, while debating how rubbish their defence [...]

Tottenham Hotspur 4 Bolton Wanderers 0: Pav Double Gives Bolton Trouble

February 25, 2010

As soon as the teams were announced for this one, it was apparent that only one club were taking the FA Cup seriously and would progress to the next round.
While we had Assou-Ekotto pressed into action at right back, this was only because of an illness to Corluka and our strange decision to send out [...]
