Tottenham Hotspur blog

The beautiful and tranquil setting of Bern, an artificial pitch allowing for the consistently even and speedy role of a football in perfect tune with that “oh so quick pace that besets the English Premier League”.  Even an opposition with a name so droll it left you wondering if you once pitted your wits against [...]

This season, for the first time in 49 years Tottenham Hotspur will feature in European football’s premier club competition. Remarkably in less than 19 months, Harry Redknapp has turned a team that was bottom of the Premier League into one that gate crashed the seemingly unbreakable private club that was the ‘Sky 4′. However, the [...]

It is has been twenty arduous and exhausting years that have subsided since the “Rebel Alliance” that is Tottenham Hotspur successfully challenged at the summit of England’s top league and finished inside the top four.  It is  twenty eight years longer from which Spurs last played in Europe’s premier competition, and if they are to do so [...]

What a difference a tackle can make. In December 2007 when Fabrice Muamba injured Gareth Bale, which would rule him out for the rest of the season, Bale was considered one of Tottenham‘s brightest young stars. He had scored 3 goals from left-back including a superb freekick against the scum. It could be said he [...]

Ledley King Following Sol Campbell’s disgraceful act of treachery way back in 2001, a defensive void at the club was created. The club needed a leader, a defensive rock and a hero- a player that could influence others and be respected by all in return. Players like this aren’t easy to come by, but we [...]

Dimitar Berbatov. Well well well, where to start? Berbatov went from being the darling of White Hart Lane to the villain of Tottenham in just a few, fateful weeks. His slick, at times arrogant style of play won him many fans, yet his departure to Manchester United left a bitter taste in the mouths of [...]

Jermain Defoe Defoe first joined the club in 2004, following the relegation of his former club West Ham United. He was blasted by their fans, dubbed a “glory hunter” and a “rat deserting a sinking ship” however he quickly won popularity with his new Tottenahm fans, thanks in large to the goal threat he offered [...]

Football manager 2007, whilst fun to play, does in no way help your managerial skills. I used to be a bit of an addict (I count winning the Champions League with Leigh RMI one of the greatest achievements of my life) and before the Tottenham-Burnley game, considered myself to be a bit of a budding [...]

Jermaine Jenas Opinion has long been split over Jermaine Jenas. Some like him, focusing on the goals he offers from midfield and the occasionally outstanding performance he puts it. Others don’t rate him at all, bemoaning his lack of consistency. I’m more in the “pro-Jenas” camp. True, he can be inconsistent, but he has been [...]

Luka Modric There’s no doubt that Luka Modric is well on his way to becoming one of the greatest footballers in Europe. He shone at Euro 2008, propelling the Croataians forward with his supreme playmaking ability, before joining Tottenham and doing exactly the same thing at the Lane. His passing, his vision, his delivery- all [...]
