Well for a "nothing" Transfer Window there has been a lot of column inches written in the media, both paper and onlline. We'd already signed Sandro pre-window and on the final day we signed the Croatian goalkeeper Pletikosa as back up for Cudicini and Gomez on a 1 year loan. Then on the stroke of Big Ben we're linked with Rafael Van de Vaart and there's...

Fulham take legal action against Sir Dave Richards over Peter Crouch Spurs transfer Fulham have lodged a petition in the High Court over the role of Sir Dave Richards in the transfer of Peter Crouch to Tottenham, even though the Premier League chairman has already been cleared of any wrongdoing by one inquiry. By Jeremy Wilson Published: 12:16AM BST...

And so they came to my adopted home town. New York. The Big Apple. Except, they are actually staying and playing in New Jersey, the real home of the quaintly named “New York Red Bulls". However one looks at it though, it is great to have my team pay a visit, albeit with a depleted squad and in pre-season mode. For me, it was a day of work and I left...

What a season it turned out to be. The season started with the usual optimism but also the usual “we'll feck it up” feelings. It was my first full season as a season ticket holder and I couldn't have picked a better one in my twenty years watching Spurs. It's never boring being a Spurs fan. Even under Gerry 'the badger' Francis and the Goonersarus we...

The scene is set for the big game. For Spurs, it is yet another test to show whether things have changed. Whether we will no longer flatter to deceive but actually kick on. Is this time different? Do we have what it takes to rise to the occasion? Will we perform like we did against Arsenal and Chelsea or regress toour former easy touch? Damned if I...

We have been this way before. It is deja vu, familiar territory. My sad tale from 1987 involved missing the League Cup semi-final, second leg, and then the replay. It was just bad luck. I had been at Highbury for the first leg, when I had commented that we might rue a Clive Allen miss. But, before the second leg, I had jetted to warmer climes for a...

All I can say is absolutely ABYSMAL!!! Just back from Wembley and for the first 90 minutes neither team looked like they wanted to win. We had 85% of the possession in the 1st 90 mins and did f@ck ALL!!!! Extra time Pompey suddenly realised we were giving them the game and they finally took it. Was this Harry's parting gift to Pompey or was it a "cunning...

What seemed like a great idea suddenly didn’t seem so good. A rare opportunity to get to an away game and a £15 ticket, sounded rather splendid during the week. However, when my alarm clock went off at 7am on Sunday morning, the prospect of a four hour journey to Bolton seemed dreadful. I rolled out of bed, quickly got ready while my mate came over...

Hands up all those who were not surprised at the goings on at today’s Leeds game. It really was a microcosm of the weird and wonderful way that Spurs have operated under good old ‘Arry. In no particular order: · Defoe misses a penalty----it is mystery why, in Keane’s absence, Defoe gets the responsibility of taking penalties. I am yet to see him take...

Apparently we’ve got one of the best squads in the league. We’ve got a stronger bench than Arsenal’s according to Robbie Keane, although he looked a little foolish a few days after making that statement. To the casual observer, it looks strong as it has expensive internationals sitting on it. However, on closer inspection that is not the case. David...

Much has been said over the past few years about the growing "nanny state" mentality of the government. Stupid rules that 10 or 20 years ago people would have laughed at if you'd told them. Things like kids having to wear "protective clothing" tp play conkers as it's dangerous. A church clock which has been wound manually since 1793 may have to be modified...

Matchday Diary: Spurs vs Everton, Carling Cup I only told my lad he was going to White Hart Lane on the Tuesday morning so he wouldn’t get too excited. I’d taken advantage of the £5 for kids offer for that game, and managed to get a pair of tickets in Lower south stand block 25, row 18 I think. This was to be Luke’s third trip to see Spurs live, and...

Some background information for ease of reading and understanding: 1) I moved from North London/Hertfordshire to the Gold Coast nearly 4 years ago. 2) I had never met a Stoke fan whilst living in London. 3) A good friend of mine over here is a Stoke fan, not your average, thick northern monkey Stoke fan but a proper old school Naughty 40 Stoke fan....

There was a time when I regarded Portsmouth to be the luckiest team in English football. Through a tiny piece of geographical chance, the fates had decided that never would they lose a player for daring to jump within a yard of another, or for having the temerity to make a fair and clean tackle on one of the Premiership's known divers. Those times now...

The title is to be taken literally, Robbie Keane was not wanted back and most of those that did want him back have quickly abandoned him. Robbie Keane has become the new Jermaine Jenas, a naming that should bring chills down the spine of ANY footballer. With that chalice will come the most intense scrutiny and vilification a footballer can experience,...

Being a 5.30pm kick off it meant I got more time to sleep of the hangover, meaning when I did actually wake up I wasn’t feeling too bad. The sun was also out and I had a feeling it was going to be a good day. I wasn’t going with the usual crowd as two of them had to work due to the England v Australia odi at Lord’s, so two mates had their tickets. There...

What a shame the media frenzy that ensued in the wake of the witch hunt and subsequent convictions of a 42 yr old long-standing Spurs season ticket holder Ian Trow and his 14 yr old son hasn't extended to reflect this conviction being quashed....

Redknapp’s Loyalty vs. The Fans From the stands you can say what you want about a team; only you know what kind of fan you are. Just be willing to give a shade of support if someone has shown qualities that deserve your following….and make no mistake, Redknapp HAS earned this. From a stand point that had most fans calling for the sale of over half the...

God I'm hungover. So hungover. Thursday nights out are a killer. But it was worth it. Why? Because I went to Faces . I'd never been before, but I'd seen Ledley on the front page of the Metro falling out the front door so many times, I felt like a regular. Needless to say it was a good night, and thankfully I didn't bump into Aaron and T Hudd breakdancing...

There are nights in a team's evolution when all come together as one to play with a purpose and drive that signals their intent to the world. This was one of those nights. England were rampant - tearing the Croatian defence apart with ease, sniffing out every Croatian attack before it had even got started, chasing the ball across every blade of grass...

So according to the media, tonight's international between England and Croatia is pretty much Spurs v Spurs. Defoe and Lennon are the darlings of the media (and Beckham now finished.... again) while Bilic has been crying into his bean stew over the loss of Modric and Corluka. And then there's Kranjcar and his new role as the creator of Croatia in Luka's...

Football's a funny old game, torn between the riches and fame of the modern era and the values and traditions of its long history. "Don't dive" they tell us, "it's bad sportsmanship". Fair enough. "No manager will admit it" they say, "but you do everything you can to win". Say what? As football has evolved into a multi-billion pound industry, with it...

I'm not sure quite what Defoe has to do to start for England. 8 goals in 12 appearances under Capello, and 7 in 6 starts this season for club and country, are apparently not enough to force the prolific Emile Heskey out of the starting XI. If Capello picks Heskey to start against Croatia on Wednesday, I'll rip out my fingernails with a pair of tweezers....
