Seasoned Spurs fans will pick out with ease the errors in the following preview. 'Tottenham have a routine game against Wigan in the Premiership on Saturday which should give them an easy win and three points to boost their Top Four chances. At home to an average Wigan side with a poor away record who have yet to fully adapt to their new Click to continue reading...

(Article published on Spurs Community)Let me start by paying my respects to Harry for all he has done for us and to Robbie Keane for the fine player that he is and his contribution to the club over seven years, off and on. Secondly I am happy with the position we are in and certainly prefer it to last season. Click to continue reading...

In 1965 my late father in law, an engineer by trade and a mechanic by inclination, was the owner of an immaculate, black Rover 100. He spent the weekends 'tinkering' with the engine. That was in the days when cars lasted for ever and scrappage schemes for a mere 10yr.old vehicles would have been met with derision. Click to continue reading...

A bad day at the office, is sometimes known as a ´blip´. I assume that this is a PR ointment designed to soothe the wounds sustained after a public humiliation. Both phrases have been uttered by the players and manager this week and I have used it myself on occasions to keep my spirits up after a loss or a disappointing performance.

Whatever you can prove on paper about the relative strengths of the two squads, on the day, on the pitch we were out played, outfought, out thought and exposed as mere pretenders to the higher reaches of the league. We were not in the same league as Arsenal. Actually that is the problem: we are.Now let's not get carried away. Click to continue reading...

The Tottenham bus having temporarily run out of petrol against Stoke and been pushed into a lay-by got back on the road again in the Carling Cup by beating Everton. It was fortunate that after Stoke we had a home tie in our favourite competition and were playing opponents who were forced to play three times in six days and were, like us, missing senior players.

Stop kicking the dog and move away from the panic button. Now! We could have gone top if only for an hour or so and we missed our opportunity to do so. But we dominated the game and lost to the only chance they had in the second half. A performance in the classic Tottenham mode then: stylish at times, lethargic at times, enough chances to win easily and enough bad luck with injuries and goal Click to continue reading...

As self appointed President of the 'Enjoy it' campaign and the 'This could be the year' Fellowship I look on with a certain detachment at our new friends in the media who are climbing aboard the Tottenham bus. Hanson, Lawrenson, even Lee Dixon and of course ex players like Lineker and Ossie Ardiles who touchingly still refers to Spurs as 'we'. Click to continue reading...

With more sub-plots than an Agatha Christie murder mystery we survived a hectic game at Portsmouth to emerge with all three points. Harry despite press rumours escaped the ordeal intact and only two of the six players with Tottenham connections were sent off. Man.City failing to win at Wigan means that we maintain our third place for another week, the first time we have been in such a position Click to continue reading...

The trouble with nostalgia is that there's no future in it. I don't really do nostalgia, probably something to do with the onset of senility. I'm more interested in the prospects for the team on Saturday and the possibilities for the season. There's plenty of nostalgia about of course as befits the supporters of a team whose future has been largely in the past. Click to continue reading...

The claim by Croatia that we threw the game against Ukraine because we would prefer them to qualify just doesn't stack up. It might explain why Ferdinand appeared to be asleep at the crucial moment, and why the referee initially went to send him off , but Capello keeping Heskey on and Green completing the move by bringing down Milevski is a conspiracy theory too far.

I'm with Martin Luther King here. I've been to the mountain top and I've seen the Promised Land. The view from the heights of the Premiership is not bad at all. There seems to be a couple of teams down there already shaping up for a relegation battle, but that needn't concern us now. It appears to be a four team dogfight to be the best of the rest.

Now this is quite a difficult one. Is it: battling Spurs come from behind twice to salvage a point at Bolton​​? Or is it: Spurs fortunate to rescue a point after a poor display which reminds me of too many occasions when we have failed to step up, away from home, especially at Bolton? They scored before some of our defence had tied their laces, Ricardo Gardner running past three hesitant Click to continue reading...

'Tottenham tend to bully teams lower in the table' says Lawro. Well that's all right then because we play Bolton, who are below us in the table, on Saturday and it should be an interesting spectacle if he's correct. For 'bully' read 'out play, out pace, out pass, and out score' the other teams but never mind O pundit wise we know what you mean. Click to continue reading...

A whole week to relax in the warm bath of good feelings that are washing over me as a result of our good start to the season. A whole week to enjoy the soothing lotions, the fragrant scents, the gentle talcum powders of contentment that I found in Mrs JimmyG2's side of the bathroom cabinet.A whole week to ponder how far we could go: to calculate whether we would prefer to meet Barcelona or Click to continue reading...
