First of all, Bennywatch. ‘Afro up, performance down’ say some keen observers of the odd booted one and his defensive display in this game will have given some credence to this modern day Spurs proverb. (Another one, ‘Roman in the team, a cup game will shortly be seen’ will have to be reworded or discarded). Assou-Ekotto tweeted gleefully about...

  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...

The Wigan Athletic players covered a total of 121,260m (75.35miles) during last weekend’s 3-1 loss at Everton The Tottenham Hotspur players covered a total of 109,134m (67.81miles) during their 4-0 home win against Liverpool last Sunday. This was 9,359m further than the Liverpool players covered during the game Scott Parker made his presence felt all over the pitch...

BBC football pundit Mark Lawrenson has predicted that Tottenham Hotspur will beat Wigan Athletic on Saturday. He told BBC Sport Online: “Spurs have got the bit between the teeth – their midfield of Bale-Modric-Parker-Krancjar was outstanding against Liverpool. “That’s a big problem for Wigan. The way Spurs moved the ball at times was breathtaking...

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...

Probably the most frustrating thing about Saturday’s draw at Wigan was the feeling of familiarity. The stodge in midfield, the powder puff attack and the defence constantly toying with the idea of imploding have all been seen far too often in recent weeks. Harry put out an attacking side that contained no width and our two most creative players playing out of position....

BBC football pundit Mark Lawrenson has predicted that Tottenham Hotspur will beat Wigan Athletic on Saturday. He told BBC Sport Online: “This is a very difficult one for Spurs manager Harry Redknapp to approach because his men have such a massive match on Tuesday to look forward to with their Champions League quarter-final against Real Madrid. I would suspect that...

Well off the field they took down the Champions League hoardings, the stewards wore their normal bibs and the match programme returned to normal size. On the field the team did nothing to make Twente Enschede worry overmuch let alone Inter Milan. For those who remember the defeats against Stoke and Wolves last season, this was more similar to the Wolves one in that we...

Harry Redknapp has had a slight dig at Tottenham fans after they watched their side slump to their first Premier League defeat of the season. Wigan’s Hugo Rodallega netted an 80th-minute winner to give the away side and all of their 40-strong travelling support something to shout about. Harry said: “I fear these games more than any other games. These are not...

Harry Redknapp admitted that Tottenham missed Luka Modric in the 1-0 defeat to Wigan Athletic. The performance of the players was far below the standard which we expect at White Hart Lane and missed the influental littlr Croatian in the middle of the park. He said: “We lacked the guile to break them down.” “You miss Modric in these games. “When...
