And with one twitch he was free! But to whose benefit? Ours, until the end of the season probably but, thanks to the latest FA cock-up, not without an attendant media circus. It almost makes you wish there’d been a conviction and a fine instead of exoneration. Almost. “Tottenham is my team and the fans have been fantastic. It wouldn’t be right to focus on...

Five serious league games in a row now starting with Liverpool on Monday evening – Newcastle, Woolwich, Man United and Everton follow. With three of these fixtures away from home, what’s a serious target to come out of the end of this run with? We’re capable of winning all these games but how about ten points? Three wins and a draw? I’d take that personally. Traditionally...

Monday night sees us face a tough visit to Anfield. The Reds are on the up after three good results in a row whilst after the useful win over Wigan we’ll be looking to consolidate our position, tidily placed in third. We’re looking forward to the game, but what about those with a red bias though? I cornered a Koppite and posed him a few questions. So who are you and...

  Wigan at WHL on Tuesday evening. This one is all about getting a win and kick starting the points accumulating machine that the team has become since the start of September. The draw and the loss in the last two games mean that we’ve lost ground on those ahead of us but not, fortunately on Van Persie FC, Chelski and Liverpool who have all stuttered behind...

Watford away feels like a proper Cup tie even if playing on a Friday night doesn’t. Getting our game out the way before James Martin has even decided which pullover to gurn in during Saturday Kitchen at least gives the players an extra bit of time off before the next ‘must win’ game, against Wigan on Tuesday evening. Injuries look like they’re going to have a...

Ten points clear of fifth with 17 games to go. Three losses all season and only one defeat in 19 games. We are most definitely on course for our main target, a place in next season’s Moneybags League. As everyone knows by now though, we’re just about to enter a run of games that would have an Italian sea captain rowing ashore and hailing a cab were he in charge...

  Cast your mind back to early September if you will. With zero points from two games bottom of the table Spurs go to Molineux to take on unbeaten Wolves. Losing to the two Manchester clubs was one thing but being set upon by Wolves would be another. Well we all know what happened and as we face Mick McCarthy’s men in the reverse fixture this Saturday to say...

Finally, it’s the ‘Game In Hand’. This match against Everton has been granted near mythical status since its postponement in August on police advice following a spot of bother in the area the weekend before. On Thursday morning our theoretical advantage over those around us will be actual and down on paper as another notch in the ‘W’ column....

It’s West Brom at home on Tuesday night as we get the chance to complete our first ‘double’ of the season. If it seems like we only recently played the Baggies, that’s because we did. On November 26th Adebayor got two and Defoe one as we completed a hard fought 3-1 win at The Hawthorns. The home team did very well that day, especially in the first half and were...

As ever December is one your busier months and with less than a week left of 2011 we still have two league games to play, both away and both at the home of a freshly promoted side. On Tuesday night it’s Norwich. Given that they came straight through the Championship few predicted that the Canaries would have enough players to do well in the Premier League but, at the...
