That's the question I'd like to ask Sir Alex Ferguson. After an entirely dominant beginning to their match against Manchester Utd, Howard Webb decided to change things. It's not the first time the wrong decision has been given at Old Trafford in United's favour, but this time being mistaken cannot be an option. Howard Webb had a very clear view of Heurelho...

The atmosphere and feeling amongst Spurs’ fans before and after Sunday’s Carling Cup Final could not have been in more contrast to last year’s corresponding fixture. The opposition were different - the bite and history of a heated rivalry conspicuous in its absence – but the trophy was the same. So, why the lack of enthusiasm and subsequent disappointment?...

Last weekend’s North London Derby produced a rare thing in modern football – a rousing, end to end Steven Seagal-style action romp of a football match. There may have been no goals but it was furious, exciting and, most importantly, great entertainment. Of course, there are still thrilling games in the Premier League (the previous meeting of Spurs and...

A razor. A functioning alarm clock. Root canal surgery. A job. There are some things in life which you’d rather not have either because of what they do or the hassle they cause you. This is part of life, sometimes you just have to have a bit of what ails you to make things easy or so you don’t end up as some sort of tardy social outcast with a huge...

This week, US citizens breathed a collective sigh of relief as George W. Bush finally took his finger off the button and relinquished his grasp on the White House front door key. Bush came into office in 2001, the same year that Spurs Chairman Daniel Levy took over at White Hart Lane and, for some supporters, his departure would be met by a similar...

In my last blog entry, I queried whether we would get a new manager who would engage in some Harry Redknapp style wheeling and dealing in the January window. Of course, we went one better and signed Harry himself! And in the initial glow of his arrival, it appeared that he could do no wrong. However, the gloss is gone now and instead of the positive...

Harry Redknapp, or ‘Arry to his mates, has got his chance at the big time and found that perhaps he’s bitten off a big chunk of unchewable stuff. The latest victim for the White Hart Lane manager’s office (fully furnished and complete with revolving door) entered the job full of enthusiasm, vim and good ol’ cockney common sense. The opening games of...

12 months ago, Tottenham fans were fortunate enough to have arguably the best strike partnership in the Premier League. Robbie Keane and Dimitar Berbatov provided 46 of the side’s goals last season, a number of assists and played some dazzling football along the way. In a role consisting of sporadic cameos, 16.5 million pound-man Darren Bent also chipped...

The papers are full today of our "new" signing being paraded on the pitch before last nights game and the figures being stated range from £13m-£16m but in reality how much did he cost us? Firstly let me say that this is only my take on the matter, not any form of insider knowledge, so the numbers will be "ball park" from information available but they'll...

The season that promised so much has gone horrifically wrong. That there are only eight premier league games gone, and the Carling Cup defence hangs in the balance of a tie with Liverpool accompanied by bottom place of in the league and a shaky standing in the UEFA cup. Probably more worrying than the league position is the damning fact that a collection...

I’ve been waiting for an upturn in fortunes before writing again, but feared that I might never get the opportunity for some catharsis if I waited that long! In my last blog entry, I displayed the typical optimism of a true Spurs fan. In hindsight, reaching the conclusion that maybe the sale of Berbatov and Keane would free us up to play an effective...

I don't know whether to laugh or cry!! We've just finished an emotional rollercoaster and settle down looking forward to just getting back to the football when, before another league ball has even been kicked, the hacks in the Tabloids realise they've nothing to fill their columns with so start a new round of rumours. Seems to have worked though. It's...

A review of Spurs transfers since the arrival of Ramos. The window’s shut, the door’s locked, bridges are burned and the drawbridge is up. It’s over now, and those inside White Hart Lane can look around and know who their comrades are for the campaign ahead. Well, until January at least. I thought it would be appropriate to do a balance sheet of the...

By cockerel downunder Well, the Spurs are about to go marching in... excitement’s building, travelling fans planning their journeys, the manager finalising his team selection, the big premier league kick off is only one day away. And yet... this feels like an odd time to be previewing the season, and reviewing the summer. With the small matter of our...

I’ve previously made my admiration for D. Berbatov clear. I have been less enamored by our other star forwards, R. Keane and J. Defoe—they are both good players but not great (in the same way that D. Beckham is a good player). However, losing all three strikers without replacement, leaving only the yet to be proven in a white shirt D. Bent, can only...
