3 Points Today Please

Newcastle United are in town. Let's send them home with nothing. In fact, while we're at it, we may as well talk business with Ashley and sort Andy Carroll's transfer out here and now.Having just come off of a massive 10-man victory at Aston Villa, a game in which I saw a Spurs side play the best they have away, under the circumstances, I'd think it not too bad of me to ask that they players put in the same shift against the Toon. Talking about Villa,...

Scott Parker; The Leader We Require

Harry Redknapp spoke with Colin Mafham of the Express in a frank interview and laid out the facts about our intended title challenge."If we could find someone who would make a big difference to us then I know the chairman would go for him."But it's hard to find somebody like Terry or Carragher who can change the place and be a bit of a leader."It's just someone who can give you a lift. You're always looking for that sort of player."Harry knows all...

Defender on the move

I think the wisest news I've heard this festive period is that Harry Redknapp's trying to get Jonathan Woodgate a loan move so as to beef up his fitness and especially match fitness. It also gets him off our wage bill until he's back to his very best.I still remember the Carling Cup winning goal against Chelsea as though it were yesterday. I also remember a few pundits claiming that the King/Woodgate partnership was the very best in the Premier League....

Bassong: A Lot Like King

Excellent display from BassongTottenham Hotspur 2-1 Liverpool. But the final scoreline could have read something entirely different had not a certain Sébastien Bassong intervened with two of the best timed tackles I've personally witnessed at The Lane this season.Both times, our stand-in centre-half prevented Torres from scoring nailed on opportunities. Being in the Shelf Upper, it looked as though Ledley King was on the field. As I watched the highlights...

Liverpool set to lose

I really can't see anything but a Spurs win today. Fair enough, we may be without Rafa (Harry rates his chances of playing 50/50), but against Bremen, the side showed that he wasn't missed at all. You could make the argument that the Champions League differs from the Premier League and that Werder Bremen made the tie an easy one, but the facts show that we have come a long way.The facts also show that we are the only side to have taken 13 points...

"Spurs don't stand a chance!"

That was the remark from the Arsenal contingent in the office today in relation to tomorrow's impending North London Derby.The truth is that we've not won there for such a long time and according to the Arsenal fans I know, it will be an even longer period of time before we win there again.Their theory is that the psychology behind tomorrow's game may be too much to handle for our lads. Thing is, before this season had kicked off, I would have quietly...

Jekyll and Hyde Spurs

How pathetic are we? There, I've said it. I have called Tottenham Hotspur "pathetic". Am I wrong in my assumption? If so, please let me know, although I think the majority will agree with me.First off, why did Harry Redknapp decide to rest a lot of the players that played so well against Inter on Tuesday? Did Harry forget that we haven't beaten Bolton away since 1996? If he wanted to rest players, why not rest them on Tuesday when Sunderland come...

Can we start to believe?

Do the players believe?After our superb win on Tuesday, BBC Fivelive commentator and presenter, Darren Fletcher, made the following statement:"I truly believe that after tonight's amazing win against the European Champions, these Tottenham Hotspur players can begin to believe that they are good enough, not only in progressing further in the Champions League, but also believing in themselves so as to take this form into their Premier League fixtures....

Rio Ferdinand's Twitter Account Explains it Clearly

@rioferdy5 "Linesman was saying it was handball, ref never gave it. Play on...."Why was Clattenburg overruling the very linesman who explained to him that he'd seen the handball? I've replied to Rio and asked him what gave him the right to shout at the ref and linesman while all the Spurs players were told to walk away.Rio sent a general reply to all via Twitter:"By the way I went over to the referee just 2 clarify that he never blew his whistle...

Spurs Could Go 3rd

The City result went our way today with them slipping up against a worked up Wolves side. The Goons beat the Spammers and Chelsea won against Blackburn.If we can beat Manchester United, and it's more than likely that we can, we will go 3rd in the Premier League. We are in 5th at the moment with 15 points.I watched the Wolves vs. Manchester City game and once again, City showed me that they are a manager short of making the big time.Harry Redknapp...

Winning at Old Trafford

Well, it's been a while, so what makes this time round any different? Well to start with, the Manchester United side we will face today is not the one of yesteryear. Gone are all the world class players and more importantly, their world class mentality.United used to win even when they weren't winning. They had the "look at us, we're winners" mentality. In my opinion, that's gone to.Sir Alex Ferguson isn't the same. I've definitely seen a change...

Where has our Bentley gone?

With the season entering November, David Bentley has had just one Carling Cup appearance in which to persuade Harry Redknapp he's worth a place in the Spurs first team. Bentley can't afford to have another season playing reserve team football and if things don't improve on the field, maybe our midfielder will be on his way out of White Hart Lane in January.We know that Bentley's got talent, and we all know that the the lad has some temperament issues...

Questions need to be answered

Not by Harry Redknapp, but by us, the fans.I was watching the game in a pub that was packed to the rafters with fellow Spurs fans, yet all I could hear were chants of "Redknapp's rubbish!", "What is he playing at, he hasn't got a f***ing clue how to manage a club in the Champions League!", and my favourite, "If we had only two points in this group, Harry would win it for us".Oh how fickle a lot of us are. Not all, but the majority. I even found myself...

The Mercenary in the Corner

Have I missed something here? As far as I am concerned, Wayne Rooney has every right not to sign/accept a new contract if, and that's a big "if", he and his advisers feel he can get more elsewhere.It seems as though the media have been camped in the North-West for far too long, and with the impending implosion of Rooney's demands, it seems the media wagon will have to extend its lease for the foreseeable future.Let's put it another way; if I am head-hunted...

Spurs Priorities

Despite the fact Tottenham are clearly in with a massive chance of making the knock-out stages of the Champions League, Harry Redknapp and his side have shown they are fully focused on matters back home.It's clear to me that domestic dominance is a more important quest than pursuing what the Champions League betting suggests would be an unlikely European triumph.It's a tough balancing act to pull off. Harry Redknapp and the Spurs players will want...

"Gareth Bale is too good for Tottenham"

Mr. WisetalkSPORT employs quite a few buffoons, but none can beat the amazing Adrian Durham. This is the guy that said England had a better team than Spain and Argentina put together, prior to the 2010 World Cup. He also gave us some other golden nuggets such as "England will still win the World Cup" (that was after the draw against Algeria, and "Liverpool will win the league under Roy Hodgson this season".So you understand this guy's levels of wisdom....

Aaron Lennon Has Found His Form

For those that were at the ground on Saturday, how many of you actually kept your eyes on Aaron Lennon? I know I did and for the first time in what has seemed absolutely ages, the lad looks like he's getting back to his best.Harry made the change in the second half against Villa, replacing Roman Pavlyuchenko with Aaron Lennon, and asking Rafa to slot in just behind Crouch. What may have looked obvious to a lot of us, proved to be the Redknapp masterstroke.In...

Bargain of the Premier League

World ClassSo tell me, which player was the best bargain signed in the last transfer window?Some may argue that Arsenal's Marouane Chamakh, who came in on a free, could be branded as the best bargain of the summer. I've not seen him play live and therefore can't comment too much on him, unless it's to tell him than no matter what he does to his hair, he doesn't look like Ronaldo.Could Rafael Van der Vaart be that player? After all, he has been simply...

Daniel Levy vs. Karren Brady

Bitter?In her diary, which can be found in the Sun, poor Mrs. Brady says that Daniel Levy has been a very mean man indeed."Oh well, it's amazing how friends can surprise you. Spurs have slipped into the AEG bid for residency at the Olympic Stadium."Their chairman Daniel Levy recently called me 'one of his closest friends'. But he hasn't mentioned the counter-bid. However, he wasn't at our Saturday match and hasn't been answering the phone to me....

New White Hart Lane Approved!

Approved!Well, that was one of the most boring web meetings I've ever sat through and it was all for you! After 3+ hours of faffing around, Haringey council finally gave a unanimous decision in favour of the Northumberland project going ahead.Over to you Boris.There were some council members worried that Tottenham Hotspur simply wanted to build a supermarket. It had to be explained to them that the club had spent just over 5 years and £10 million...

Real Madrid target Bale

Gareth Bale's electric start to the season hasn't gone unnoticed by some of Europe's biggest teams. Reports in Spain claim Real Madrid are looking to move for the Welshman when the January transfer window opens. Bale, has been used mainly as a winger by Harry Redknapp this season but it looks as though Jose Mourinho wants to sign the Welshman as a left-back. Madrid narrowly missed out on Aleksandar Kolarov who opted to join Manchester City and have...
