Spurs News

Spurs are going to Wembley! Crack the champagne, call the engraver, and put us down for an open-top bus around the middle of May. If we achieve FA Cup glory this year—something we have a very real chance of doing—May 5, 2012 will be a date that Spurs fans remember for the rest of our lives. But what about May 13, 2012? What will we be celebrating on that day? Fourth...

You couldn’t write a more cliché-riddled script. Boy gets Champions League. Boy loses Champions League. An old timer, told his best days are long behind him, steps back into the ring. The good guys, who we all know and love, gallop into battle, leaving the women and children behind. Ten games into the season, Tottenham Hotspur find themselves in the middle of a scenario...

Like any good fan, I get a little worked up while watching my team play. In short, I scream—a lot. I scream with joy when Defoe slots home an impressive goal. I scream in frustration when Kaboul thinks he can do better and leaves a porous defense all the more so. I scream directives at the team when it seems ‘arry isn’t getting it right. I scream when Adebayor thinks...

Since the season “actually” started, Tottenham has been in undeniably good form. Last weekend’s fantastic 4-0 drubbing of a hapless Liverpool side should have Spurs fans chomping at the bit to get to the weekend and on with our league campaign (and put Pavlyuchenko, penalties, and a piss-poor performance in the past). After all, with a 4-0 pasting of our supposed...

Finally, something to cheer about. A win! Two goals! Scored by attacking players! Spurs seem to have defied all experts’ predictions with an impressive win against a top-of-the-table club powerhouse in Wolves (tongue firmly in cheek). The way we won—by controlling the ball and creating a handful of scoring opportunities—should certainly give Spurs fans hope and...

3-0 to the red side. 5-1 to the blue. Minus seven goals and firmly 20th on the table. But let’s not panic. Not yet. Just last week, Harry Redknapp spoke of a gulf in class between an upper-tier premiership side and an upper-tier Scottish side. That’s a no brainer. In Scotland, there’s the big two, and then everyone else. Just like we have in England. The gulf in...

In an earlier piece, I questioned whether or not ‘arry and Levy had the moxie to make a big-name capture (or the three they promised) in order to keep the team—and Luka Modric—settled. A few weeks later, we appear to have our answer in a big, strong striker with a proven goal scoring record. Emmanuel Adebayor appears to be on his way to White Hart Lane. “Finally,”...

It appears that Keane-O is out the door. Put out to pasture, as it were, to America and the Los Angeles Galaxy of MLS. There shouldn’t be a Spurs fan out there that should have any ill-will for the man who gave his heart and soul to Tottenham in the form of 90-some goals, an inexhaustible energy supply, and a well-deserved vice-captaincy. Sure, there was the whole Liverpool...

Last year was, by most accounts, a positive season. We stood toe-to-toe with some of the greatest teams in the world, and with the exception of a red card in Madrid, gave a great account of ourselves. A fifth-place finish was disappointing, but with our breadth of talent on the ball and in the dugout, the best has to be yet to come, right? After all that, it may seem...
