Why The Sun is advertising Spurs players

In this last week, The Sun has touted Gareth Bale and Luka Modric, linking them both with Manchester United.This is the same paper that reported Manchester United had no cash whatsoever not so long ago. So far, we've been told that Fergie is on the verge of splashing out a total of £45 million on the two players.So then, how can Manchester United afford to sign two players that are clearly out of their price-range?The only reason I can think of,...

Neil Custis Wants Modric

The Sun's jouralist, Neil Custis, who I respected up until I read his article in today's Sun (Manchester United want to sign Luka Modric), really should learn to research his stories a little better, instead of pouring his masters words onto the canvas."Modric signed for Spurs from Dinamo Zagreb in 2008 after impressing for Croatia in the European Championships."The keyword in that sentence is "after". Is that poor research or what? Maybe it's...

End of the Line

Whatever happens in the final weeks of the season, 2009/10 has been a successful campaign for Tottenham. But who has been top of the class during this improved performance and who must do better?Heurelho Gomes 9/10A superb season for a reborn goalkeeper. A big part of the defensive improvement, his stunning saves in the win against Arsenal summed up his campaign.Vedran Corluka 8Reliable and virtually error-free.

Unsettling Tottenham Players

We published an article yesterday that was based on Sir Alex Ferguson being interested in signing Gareth Bale. Now, I won't go into the semantics of why someone like Fergie would be interested in a player like Bale. I won't even go down the path of having to explain to you why Manchester United simply don’t have the funds to buy someone like Gareth Bale.I want to talk about what so many Spurs fans fear; Bale's head being turned.Personally, I can't...

Gareth Bale to Manchester United

Oh, don't be stupid!Now, I have met Matt Law (Daily Express journo who published the story linking Bale to United) on a few occasions and he seems like a fairly decent guy. He's also normally on the money. Not today sunshine. Sir Alex Ferguson may want to sign Gareth Bale. I also wouldn't mind being in bed with Cheryl Cole and Beyonce Knowles. It isn't going to happen people; well, the part about Bale going to United definitely won't.Let me introduce...

Michael Dawson versus John Terry

I thought it was about ruddy time I wrote an article on Michael Dawson's exclusion from the England setup. Everyone has jumped on this wagon and so I thought it appropriate that I put this conundrum to you, the everyday Spurs/football fan.Should Michael Dawson be included in Fabio Capello's World Cup squad?Err, yes he should.Imagine this...You've been in a coma for the last 18 years (since the start of the Prem). You woke up at the beginning of...

Brokeback United

Beaten Arsenal and Chelsea. Next up, Brokeback United.Now, I don't know about the rest of you, but I think this is a game that we can win. Manchester United are nowhere near their best and I believe, as do some of the Spurs lads, that we can go up to Old Trafford and get a win. As long as the ref isn't their twelth man of course!The belief that we can win is there. All we need to do now is turn up and display that belief on the pitch.Le Scum...

Gomes Rehabilitation Complete

Tottenham's outstanding player in the victory over Arsenal was Heurelho Gomes. The Spurs 'keeper made a series of superb saves as a hard-earned lead was protected, but his calm presence and capability under crosses was equally eye catching.It is no exaggeration to say the Brazilian is the now the best 'keeper in the Premier League. Petr Cech is becoming increasingly error an injury prone, Edwin van der Sar's body is creaking with age and Manuel Almunia...

Ar2ena1

Tottenham Hotspur 2 - 1 Ar2ena1Before getting into the grains of this article, I wanted to vent my frustrations on some BBC pundits who still, even though we won, insisted on saying the following;"Oh just look at the wonderful football Arsène Wenger's side play". Listen sunshine, you aren't given points based on your overall possession. You get points by either stopping the other team, or by putting the ball into the back of the net.Arsenal did...

I Love English Referees

First off, I would like to congratulate Portsmouth FC, their fans, their players and management team on reaching the F.A. Cup Final.Secondly, I would also like to thank the English F.A. for all the hard work they put in to churning out the best referees in Europe.Niko Kranjcar should be put on trial after fouling someone in the area, which in turn led to our goal being disallowed, and rightly so!Just for the record, I wasn't being serious, well,...

F.A. Cup Semi's

We'll win by more than three goals and face the blue scum in the final come May......Don't we all wish it was that easy? How can you equate, what in effect is up till now, our biggest game of the season?How can you predict the outcome against a team that really has nothing to lose, especially since their relegation was cemented only yesterday? We all know what happens when you corner an injured dog? You pat it on its head and take it to the vet....
