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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

International break is always pretty dull. Normally a few Spurs players get called up and play a bit part in a boring England friendly. One of them usually comes back with an injury. The squad gets together a day before our next league game. We usually lose. It's a total waste of time really. And it's not like we didn't have one a month ago, ...

Morning Yiddos It always feels a bit strange at this time of year. The transfer window shuts, the ITK rumours cease, PL football is off the calendar for two weeks... it's almost as if I've been on a 48 hour bender and now I'm suffering from a massive Monday morning comedown. There's an emptiness inside which no amount of friendlies against ...
