Facts

I read that Liverpool boss, Benitez, recently provided a level of insight that proves his unfathomable intelligence; Tottenham Hotspur may possibly drop some points.Thank goodness this Earth has people like Rafa Benitez knocking around on it. I wouldn't know what to do with myself if I hadn't tuned in to his pearls of infinite wisdom.One thing did trouble me. You see, I was under the impression that the Anfield supremo only spoke facts? I may be...

Champion's League? You're Having a Laugh

I was involved in an interesting conversation with a few colleagues of mine this morning. Included in the group of football wannabe pundits, were Spurs, Arsenal, Liverpool, Villa and one recently baptised Manchester City fan. We were discussing the teams chasing the fourth, majestic Champion's League spot.The majority of the office is confident that Spurs can finish in the top four, with Liverpool finishing the season in fifth and City in sixth.What...

Nearly the perfect weekend for Spurs

Things could not have gone much better for Tottenham this weekend. A routine home win, a heavy defeat for a fourth place rival and damaging results for Arsenal and West Ham thrown in for good measure - Saturday's Match of the Day made entertaining viewing.This comes on the back of a good midweek, when dropped points by Manchester City and Aston Villa complimented Spurs' rousing FA Cup comeback against Fulham. Keeping an eye on other teams' fortunes...

Manuel Almunia: God Amongst Men

Don't you just love the stubbornness of some men, especially those you view as your enemy? Mr. Wenger has been lambasted in the past for not signing a quality goal-keeper, but we all know how Arsène reacts to criticism.Let me introduce Manuel Almunia. This man capped off a delightful Saturday for me and possibly the majority of Chelsea, Manchester United and Spurs fans. I was sat in the Shelf when the jumbo-tron displayed Arsenal's result. The...

Smash and Grab

Are we going to have another 9-1 on our hands, or can you see us making a right old dogs dinner of this one?Portsmouth, without their most influential player, O'Hara, could fold against tomorrow, or they could have a real go at it, especially if we come across slightly dazed after our midweek F.A. Cup Quarter-Final win exploits.With Charlie out, Hutton on loan to Sunderland and Kyle Naughton on loan to Boro, that leaves the kid, Kyle Walker, our...

Deeply Upsetting

For those of you that missed Tuesday's Spurs Show outing, Phil was telling us how it really gets to him when the media salivate over the wondrous football played by Arsenal, but fail to recognise the way Spurs play.I sat at home and watched last nights game against Fulham with a cousin of mine. He's on holiday from the States, but watched the game, even though Football isn't his forte.I think we can safely say that my cousin is now a Spurs fan....

Eidur is so Gud

I won't go on about yesterday's 3-1 F.A. Cup Quarter-Final win over Fulham too much, as most of you either watched the match or already know what happened.But how many of you truly saw the class of Eidur Gudjohnsen in the second half? Having been placed into the hole behind Super Pav and Crouchie, he command the play. What I did notice, is that the lad is so composed on the ball. Harry was definitely right in his comments that Gudjohnsen knows where his team mates are. Not many players can know what pass they're going to make, before being...

Let's Thump Them!

Fair enough, that was a bit arrogant, but then again, I do remember those special midweek cup games against London opposition, eh Ar5ena1?Asking for another 5-1 drubbing would be too much, especially as Fulham are a pretty decent side in my opinion. I do find it a bit hypocritical of the media, calling for Hodgson to be the next England manager. It's not that he's not England material, but I do remember them slating him when he was at Blackburn....

Baled out - how Gareth Bale saved Spurs' season

Gareth Bale: QualityPerhaps the biggest success story of Harry Redknapp's Tottenham stewardship has been Gareth Bale. Once written off as an error-prone, one-footed dead ball specialist with a winless Premier League curse, Bale seemed set to leave the club as a talent unfulfilled. Now the Welsh wing wizard is a crucial member of the Spurs line-up.It is no exaggeration to describe Bale as a genuine winger, even when he plays at left-back. He marauds...

Will Stoke Bash Us Up?

Stoke City's FinestSome onlookers may think we're playing Stoke on Trent RUFC, especially if Pulis sends his men out to bash us up a bit.  After all, they've got the personnel to do us in. I don't want to say that class is defined by the amount of wins your team can muster up at stadia like the Britannia, but I wouldn't be far off the mark if I did.Having the highest decibel range in the Premier League must count for something. If there ever...

David Beckham vs. Aaron Lennon

Groin for concernI read Rob Smyth's article about putting things into perspective and to be honest with you, I couldn't agree more with Smythee.Fair enough, the fact that Beck's will miss the World Cup and could never play again, is of course, terrible. But for the life of me, I can't fathom why the English media haven't made more of Aaron Lennon's injury, which could, in effect, also rule him out of the final 23-man squad that Capello will pick?Let's...

Stop kicking up such a fuss

So Sgt. Wilson would like to play for Real Madrid some day; so would I. Wouldn't you? Who wouldn't want to play for one of the world's biggest football clubs?Fair enough, it would have probably been a bit better for him to have kept his mouth closed, after all "Tottenham Hotspur pay his wages". Bla bla bla...The guy grew up in Honduras. His mother tongue is Spanish. Hondurans follow La Liga like nobody’s business. Of course he's going to say that he would like to play for Real Madrid, Barcelona, etc.At least his boyhood heroes don't consist...

Bale on the left wing

Bale on the left wing?It seems as though everyone is up in arms at the minute about the players that will kick-off the F.A. Cup Quarter Final against Fulham.I think the solution's a pretty straightforward one; stick Benoît Assou-Ekotto into the left back position, continue with Niko Kranjčar on the right, stick The Modfather™ in the middle of the park to play alongside Sgt. Wilson and push Bale further up the flank, onto the left wing.Here's hoping...
