Harry Redknapp is Angry

I was at The Lane last night and watched us play some good football at times, but saw us ripped apart by a team that knows how to keep the ball and counter-attack. There, I said it. Now, let's move onto Harry being angry.Today I read that Harry Redknapp is just a tad bit angry with Tweedledum and Tweedledee over at West Ham. He was obviously upset at the way we lost to the Yellow Submarines last night and so let fly on the situation relating to...

Daniel Levy is angry

And rightly so! Tottenham Hotspur released a statement yesterday relaying that "no bid for the Olympic Stadium had been made". That's right, "no bid" has been made, but Levy and co. have started to make early enquiries as to the availability of the magnificent 80,000 capacity arena. And why shouldn't they?Haringey council is singlehandedly shooting itself in the foot with all this bureaucratic nonsense. The Tottenham area is in need of massive...

Will Spurs' defensive headache ever end?

Tottenham have two of England's most talented centre backs at their disposal but, sadly for manager Harry Redknapp, the pair are also two of the country's most injury-prone players.Those who study the football winning odds recognise that Jonathan Woodgate and Ledley King would be pushing for a space in the England side if they could stay fit, but they spend more time on the physio's bench than they do on the park; more so for Woodgate.Redknapp has...

Portsmouth and their Squad

As you can see from the above image (taken just now from the Portsmouth FC website), Pompey won't have any problems naming their 25-man squad.Tal Ben Haim is also on the list, which is strange, seeing as he left the club after they got relegated.-Enough about them. Who will Harry include in our 25-man squad? Players up to the age of 21 don't count and Harry has to name 8 "Homegrown" players (players who have spent at least 3 seasons in the English...

"Signing a centre-half is our priority"

Hmm. So said the Evening Standard last night. Apparently Harry's been on about us needing a central defender. Can I ask why though? We've all heard the news that Woodgate hasn't been included in the final 25-man squad and Ledley's got a dodgy knee, but we've still got Michael Dawson, Seb Bassong and Younes Kaboul. Charlie is a natural centre-half, although I, like most, don't fancy him in that position.Is this another Harry ploy? I think we...

Harry's Interested in Huntelaar

Mediaset, the Italian media giant (owned by Mr.Berlusconi), yesterday revealed that both Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur have shown an interest in buying AC Milan striker, Klaas-Jan Huntelaar for around €15 million (approximately £12.6 million). It also added that "Harry Redknapp, the Tottenham Hotspur manager, has been looking at Huntelaar in recent months and plans to sign the Dutch striker."Tottenham Hotspur's pursuit of a striker has...

Three Yellows

Prior to the World Cup, the Coral Dugout gave us the opportunity to ask Graham Poll a question.Here is Graham in answer to the question we posed him:I loved it when he sent off John Terry in our 2-1 home win against Chelsea. I should have asked him what the real reason was. Do you remember King and Chimbonda chasing Terry after the said incident?How time flies. For more information on the Coral Dugout, visit them on Facebook, via Twitter, or the...

A Jolly time for Fulham fans

Fulham fans know Roy Hodgson left big shoes to fill as the club's manager, but they should be delighted that Martin Jol looks set to be the man given that task. No managerial shoes are too big for the burly Dutchman, who has all the attributes to be a major success at Craven Cottage.English-speaking bosses with Premier League experience are a rare commodity and the Cottagers are right to emphasise Jol's success as Tottenham manager. Fulham's Premier...

Wickham to Tottenham

Has the world gone mad, or is it just the Ipswich Town Board we should be sending to the local asylum?England have just been humiliated at a World Cup. Everyone is calling for a better youth scouting system and better facilities at grass-roots level. So what do the tabloids and Ipswich Town FC do? Tell the world that any club interested in prizing away their 17 year old, must stump up at least £10 million. And as always, Tottenham's name has been...

Jol in for Keane

Even though Big Martin Jol has yet to be named as Fulham's new manager, The Telegraph have our former boss down as already having lined up a bid for Robbie Keane.If we are to believe all the reports, it looks as though Jol will be Fulham's new manager before the end of this week. I also think The Telegraph may be onto something here.Jol was always an admirer of Keane and Robbie, on various occasions, spoke highly of Martin. Both Robbo and Keano...

Mesut Özil to Spurs?

Werder Bremen's Sporting Director, Klaus Allofs, said that "we will have to listen to those offers if that is what Mesut wants."By "those offers", Allofs is alluding to the fact that Werder Bremen simply cannot offer the German playmaker the wages he wants.We've all heard Harry talk about that "special player", well, I doubt they come as "special" as Mesut Özil.Let's forget Joe Cole for the time being, for it looks as though he will be donning the...

Harry allows Keane to talk with Villa

Sky Sports News "understands that Tottenham Hotspur have given Robbie Keane permission to speak with Aston Villa".Don't you just love the "understands" bit?Now that our Harry has finally tied the knot with Daniel, it looks as though our rebuilding "adding one or two new special players" session will commence.I know I've said this before and it's looked as though I've gotten egg all over my face, but I think exchanging Keane for Carew would be a decent...

New Tottenham Hotspur Kits

What do you make of them?When I look at the home kit, I can't stop thinking "Bolton". I do like the darker away kit, although I've never liked the sky blue kit donned by Lennon.Now that we've got our kit and three quarters of a sponsor together, I can expect Harry to commence his Football Manager signing spree.PS. Cheers to COYS for the image._________________________________________________Follow our rants on TwitterRead our latest Evening Standard...

Harry on Fab

Our 'Arry is at it yet again, this time stating that Tottenham Hotspur could be interested in signing the Brazil International striker, Luís Fabiano, from Sevilla. "To be perfectly honest, I haven't sat down to discuss any transfer targets with our chairman Daniel Levy, apart from trying to do a deal with Joe Cole", said Harry Redknapp.Come on Harry, we know that's not true. A lot of us heard you say that "Diego Forlan is interested in coming to...

Fabregas in a Barcelona Shirt

During Spain's World Cup celebrations, Arsenal's want away captain, Cesc Fabregas, donned a Barcelona home shirt.I bet he'll be popular with the Arsenal fans within the next few days. Unless Barcelona meet Arsenal's valuation; and that's not likely, given the financial predicament the Spanish La Liga Champion's are in, it looks as though he'll be staying with the Woolwich Wanderers.Last thing you want is an unhappy player spoiling pre-season preparations....

Our New Sponsor Has Red In It!

Our Chairman, Daniel Levy has done it again! This time, our shrewd boffin has got Software giant, Autonomy, to sponsor Tottenham Hotspur over two seasons. Apparently, the guys over at Autonomy have agreed to pay £10 million per season (£20 million over the duration of the sponsorship deal).That's not bad business, seeing as they will only be sponsoring Tottenham Hotspur's Premier League matches. Our previous sponsor, Mansion, paid us a shade over...

Harry Redknapp interview on his transfer targets

Harry Redknapp was interviewed on talkSPORT earlier today and said that we are no closer to signing Joe Cole as the lad wants to review all his options.Being totally against us signing Cole when all this fuss first kicked off, I have to say that I have started to take a liking to the idea. If it comes off and he doesn't mind being part of a squad, then great. If not, he can join another side. No one should be guaranteed a starting position and...

Interest in Shaun Wright-Phillips Grows

You've got to be kidding me? I know that we've come to the point in this pre-season when the tabloids go into overdrive, but Shaun Wright-Phillips??"Arsenal face competition from Tottenham and Liverpool as they try to sign Manchester City winger Shaun Wright-Phillips." - Daily MailWho dreams this stuff up? I personally think the guy is useless. If the ball isn't deflecting off his shin, then it's coming off of an opponents body part. Has SWP...
