This whole Arry Redschnapps England manager impasse business is beginning to bug me. So perhaps a good juncture to ask supporters what they actually think.

Scott Parker vs. Joey Barton- Old Scores Settled Via a Statistical Faceoff
Way way back before Spurs started playing total football, before Adebayor revealed a hidden personality as a workhorse second striker, and before I knew what I was talking about when it came to our squad this season, I argued in the summer of 2011 that it was in Spurs interest to attempt to lure Joey… Read more »

Louis Saha Takes A Dip In The Prostitutes Pool
Premier League players have the occasional (sometimes not occasional) dalliance with prostitutes. Cue the faux surprise and outrage. Without getting into a whole moral discussion on prostitution, let’s consider the idea of athletes with paid sexual entrepreneurs. Some people would like to be a professional athlete because of the fame, money or even the love… Read more »

Tottenham’s list of shame
Been a while, hasn’t it? Anything happened?Well, yes, loads, obviously.

Every Little Bit Hurts
The lasting effects of this horrible slaughter could reverberate down the years. Not because of the score – we’ve shipped five against them before and we’ll do so again in my lifetime. Not even because the top two have left us far behind in their wake. No, it’s because after this, how we can trust… Read more »

Poorly Managed Or Not, Tottenham’s Loss Was Not On Harry Redknapp
In the aftermath of the debacle at the Emirates, some moved quickly to lay the blame for Tottenham’s loss on Harry Redknapp. The tactics left the team at a numerical disadvantage in the center and the team was shockingly narrow, never really threatening Arsena’s outside backs. Toss in the curious substitutions and decision to make… Read more »
