  • MF’s Report: Fulham 0-0 Spurs (FA Cup Quarter Final)
    Led by the outstanding Wilson Palacios, Spurs earned a deserved draw at Craven Cottage and so for the third round in a row will need to rely on success in a replay to progress in this year’s FA Cup. In theory a Premier League team needs to only play (and win) six games before they’re bouncing up and down on the Wembley pitch behind a large piece of cardboard advertising...

  • MF’s Preview: Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur (FA Cup Quarter Final)
    Injuries to the midfield have dominated our build up to this weekend’s visit to Craven Cottage. The absence of Lennon, Bentley, Jenas and Huddlestone means that we’re running out of options in the middle with Modric, Kranjcar and Palacios the only recognised first team midfielders available. So Harry will get to earn his money as he decides whether to chuck in a youngster...

  • MF’s Report: Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 Everton
    Two early goals, one each from Pavlyuchenko and Modric, put Spurs on top quickly in this game but a half time tactical switch by David Moyes and a serious looking injury to Tom Huddlestone meant that Everton nearly repeated their December trick of coming from behind to take something from the match. Indeed, if Landon Donovan had directed his shot inside instead of outside...

  • MF’s Preview: Tottenham Hotspur vs Everton
    This Sunday lunchtime Spurs take on Everton, the form team of the moment, in a lunchtime kick off at White Hart Lane. In the past few weeks the Toffees have deservedly beaten Chelski, Man City and Man United and had the better of a draw at the filthy gooners. A season that appeared to be lost in stories of injuries and playing kids too early has almost been turned around....

  • MF’s Report: Tottenham Hotspur 4-0 Bolton Wanderers
    Spurs didn’t have to play very well to win this one, and we didn’t particularly. The 4-0 scoreline hides what was at times a careless performance in which our passing game stuttered as much as it flowed. Bolton overall had more shots and Gomes was forced into action more than Harry would have liked. Still, Owen Coyle came bearing gifts in the shape of a weakened team...

  • MF’s Preview: Spurs vs Bolton (FA Cup Replay)
    This Wednesday evening Spurs take on Bolton in a cup fifth round replay. Cup fever hasn’t totally gripped White Hart Lane. The prospect of reduced prices and the rumour that the newly reborn Roman Pavlyuchenko is set to start only his third game of the season should take the crowd above thirty thousand but the ‘tickets still available’ notices on the official website...

  • Maxim Match Report: Wigan Athletic 0-3 Tottenham Hotspur
    Ah yes…the warm glow of victory. The Spurs supporters had been summoning Roman Pavlyuchenko vocally from the bench long before Harry finally did, but there was sweet redemption for the Russian striker – the best natural finisher at the club, for me – as his two smartly taken goals sealed a handsome away win in the DW quagmire. No doubt about it, Jermain Defoe’s...

  • Fan Preview: Wigan Athletic vs Tottenham Hotspur
    It’s Lancashire again this weekend as Spurs go to Wigan Athletic & if any club is going to be out for revenge this season it’s them.  The 9-1 stuffing we dealt out in November should surely point to another comprehensive victory for us, however you only need to go back a month and Norwich’s visit to Colchester United to find the flaw in that logic.  Delia’s...

  • Fan Report: Bolton Wanderers 1-1 Tottenham Hotspur
    When viewed from a distance the inward sloping floodlights of the Reebok Stadium make it look like some sort of half depressed bouncy castle. Maybe the modern day pylons interactively stand prouder & more erect the more people there are in the ground? If so then the Terriers faithful should be thankful to the packed stand of Spurs fans that turned up, without them...

  • Fan Preview: Bolton Wanderers vs Tottenham Hotspur (FA Cup)
    So are we going to end the season with a bang or a whimper?  After Molineux on Wednesday it feels like we’ve already spelt out the W-H-I-M. This Sunday’s game at Bolton will determine whether we’re reaching for the Tippex or the permanent marker come Monday morning. What are the chances of Wolves going out of business I wonder? It’s their results we need expunged...
