time to defend a lead for 40 minutes. triffic or tragic?
Sorry I've been away for so long, my life is becoming very busy in the end season, (Typical eh?)
Here's a piece I've written for Tottenham Blog though! Will be looking to post more soon.
Tottenham 2 Everton 1 – A Win That Could Have Been So Much More?
ruud winging his way to london?
Harry's done well to avoid the negative press this week, and has found some solace in fine
dining. Rather than simply heading to KFC with Dan as is the usual ritual, our 'Arry was spotted
wining and dining with a certain Van Nistelrooy's agent.
Following that news yesterday Harry has furthermore elaborated that he would be happy to take
the dutchman away from Madrid 'for the right price'.
safe hands?
Today it has come to light that we have had a bid rejected for Manchester United shotstopper Ben
Foster. Whilst this is certainly one of the more prudent moves that has been mooted this window,
completion of the move would cast into speculation the respective futures of our current
keepers.
inspired performance by the welshman denies spurs
Before the game I didn't consider that Myhill would offer us too many problems; but he managed
to single-handedly take a point back north for his club  after an amazing performance denied our
players of a single goal. Simply put this will be seen as one of the shut outs of the season as
chance after chance was saved; including two double saves.
tony is optimistic, but hull fans shouldn't be.
Todays match against Hull signals the first game in 5 that take place in the next couple of
weeks, that will undoubtedly shape our season. As such there is a need for consistent performances
and a distinct focus on the task at hand. Not that there's a lot to distract us!
Oh dear, news has come out today that Harry has been officially charged on two seperate counts
of tax evasion. These claims are pretty scadalous to be honest and will not do us any favours from
opposition crowds in the following weeks. His solicitor has come out to say that Harry has
cooperated with the investigation wholly and is confident that will be a positive outcome.

It's not really in the prerogative of the blogger to attempt to put his readers to sleep; but
realistically speaking, another report on the progress of the transfer deal for Sandro Ranieri
Guimares Cordeiro is just the ticket. As far as reports are concerned we're still trying to wangle
out some details in relation to the fee; (The fact that he's partly owned by a third party is
probably the sticky wicket there), and following that a work permit application par excellance.
does rafa wants to make sure that adam sandler can play against us?
It's a conspiracy! The voice of a thousand Spurs fans around the country shout at once at the
news that Liverpool are moving to postpone Sunday's game because there's a bit of snow around the
ground. Whilst it's not necessarily the fact that if we had beat them they'd pretty much be done
like a Christmas turkey; there's also the fact that the arrival of Maxi Rodriguez is imminent at
Anfield, but maybe not quite in time for the showdown.
thumbs up?
Over the past couple of days the name Miguel Veloso has come up. This isn't a name that we're
unaware of, as every single transfer window it would seem that he's unable to escape speculation on
his future. Being a club that is perennially linked to around half of the players on the market
at any given time its safe to say that he's known as one of the better players that could be
available to us.
a target for manchester city and lyon?
I'll try and avoid writing up speculation pieces on players for the time being, as the maelstrom
that is the January transfer window starts to shift into gear. Naturally we're being linked with a
new player every day so it's hard to sort out the wheat from the chaff for the most part.
a nice bit of history repeating.
With Arsenal just about escaping the curse of the 3rd round intact; Manchester United's loss at
home to Leeds simply put was the icing on the cake on a great weekend of FA Cup football.
Manchester United in our recent history have always managed to display our inadequacies in the most
revealing and smug way possible.
what were they doing to this lad at pompy?
On a day that saw the majority of premier league clubs struggle to achieve a solid attendance
for their FA Cup 3rd round ties. Whilst this is a bit of a damning indictment and a sign of the
times we managed to turn the clock back a few decades for a sell out at the lane.
onwards and upwards
Though Wembley is overrated these days...
Plenty of quotes floating around today attributed to the good man Harry Redknapp which would
seem to suggest that the FA Cup and all the antiquated glory that comes with winning it, isn't
really top of his wish list for 2010:
"The cup has always been a special thing and I'd love Tottenham to win it this year, it would be
fantastic for us," he said in The Mirror.
azza gets the oppurtunity to finally crack on with his master league...
Unfortunate news seems to be leaking from the lane that our Aaron has done himself a bit of a
mischief. The problem in question relates to his groin, which was allegedly damaged during the
final minutes of the West Ham game.
lennon leading the way
I feel a bit like the economically struggling stepdad who makes promises to his unfortunate son,
only to find himself in the pub rather than the playground. The thing to do here I guess as some
kind of consolation is to write a digest of all the action that I've managed to miss writing up and
with the benefit of hindsight, and offer a little depth in the action of the past few weeks.
