Posted by & filed under coys, Opinion, Spurs, THFC.

And so it begins, the eleven week wait for the new season to start, during which fans of every side will be buried under a barrage of conjecture, lies, “insider information” and the occasional bit of good reporting about the players they are supposedly set to sign.

For Tottenham Hotspur, the equation is for once [...]

When you’re sitting in the pub with your mates, picking your favourites of the Premier League, the one position that has to be the hardest to choose a winner for is the right-back. It is not in any way as easy as left-back, with Ashley Cole usually taking that spot, and Leighton Baines coming through [...]

The last few seasons have been connected by one predictable plot twist – a problem with depth on the flanks. This year, as happened the year before, Aaron Lennon picked up a knock about two-thirds of the way through the season, decimating Tottenham’s crucial width and reducing their attacking options. I’ve written at length about […]

Forget Wigan and Newcastle, let’s focus on Tottenham Hotspur this weekend

Posted by & filed under Opinion, Spurs, THFC, Tottenham Hotspur.

Last night Wigan Athletic put in the performance that everyone should have expected from them. It was valiant and exciting, charmingly incompetent at the back, and ultimately unsuccessful. The result saw them relegated, and judging by the reaction from many Tottenham Hotspur fans, seemingly ended Spurs’ season as well.

There are three things to consider [...]

Stamford Bridge hosted Spurs this week where once again Benitez made his usual rotation, changing three players for this game compared to the XI starting at Old Trafford few days ago. Lampard gave way to Cahill, who slotted alongside Ivanovic in defence – Luiz was therefore pushed in midfield. Hazard returned to the starting XI [...]

Nearly a thousand years ago two sides met at Stamford Bridge. One, an established ruler of the land that’d been at the top for a while.
