Some real news this week on the transfer front, as Gael Clichy has signed on with Manchester City for a reported £7M. Depending on reports, either Liverpool weren't willing to go above £5M for the reclamation project, they were willing to match City but Clichy preferred them due to European football (and a higher pay packet) next season, or that given their transfer history Arsenal decided they'd rather sell to City than Liverpool.

For several summers, Tottenham Hotspurs was often touted by the pundits as a pre-season favorite to break into the top four in the English Premier League, no matter how poorly the team had fallen off in the previous season. Well Tottenham finally finished in the top four last season, and are trying to prove last season's finish was not a fluke.

TBFWHL has seen into the future. Everything that's going to happen in this season has been foretold and, hold on tight, you're about to find out how it all pans out. Remember to look surprised when this all actually happens...

Spurs finally get their season under way at Old Trafford and the 2011/12 incarnation of Tottenham look good.

David Beckham waves to fans and the media (there was more of the latter) as he leaves Tottenham Hotspur's training ground in Essex. Becks had a medical this morning, and was given the green light to train – not play – with Spurs over the next four weeks.

So Spurs fans have finally discovered David Beckham's reasons for training with Spurs. We were all of the opinion that he was teaching Aaron Lennon how to hit the perfect cross, whilst explaining to David Bentley that looks alone won't win competitive matches.

It would appear though that he was actually on a scouting mission for L.

With the ridiculously priced £3million accepted, Steven Pienaar's signature confirmed and enhanced Harry Redknapp's reputation as the premier wheeler dealer manager of the Barclays Premier League. Once again, Harry Redknapp effortlessly adds established stars to his Spurs squad. 'Arry just cannot resist a deal, can he?

Kenny Dalglish has warned Fabio Capello that he needs to "be responsible" in not relying on Andy Carroll for England's internationals against Wales and Ghana.
Carroll has only just returned to fitness, and made his first Liverpool start on Thursday after suffering a thigh injury before he signed for £35 million in January.

Cristiano Ronaldo vende con su cuerpo y con su nombre y como Nike lo sabe le ha ofrecido ser la estrella de su nueva campaña publicitaria para promocionar las zapatillas Mercual Vapor Superfly II.

Tottenham winger Aaron Lennon has taken to Twitter to defend himself against manager Harry Redknapp's charges of dereliction of duty, claiming that he'd been sick for days and that he was unwilling to be Harry's scapegoat. Aaron, didn't you get the memo? Crouchie has taken goat duties by the horns!

Real Madrid set up a mouth-watering Champions League semi-final against Barcelona after Cristiano Ronaldo's second-half goal completed a comprehensive aggregate defeat of Tottenham Hotspur.

Ronaldo's speculative 50th-minute effort, fumbled into his own net by Heurelho Gomes, ended any faint hopes of a Tottenham comeback and confirmed Madrid's progression to a record 22nd semi-final in the competition.

Despite Manchester United's 1-0 win over Everton that sees them move closer to a 19th league title (and Sir Alex Ferguson's 12th Premier League title), fans have one eye on potential new recruits when the transfer window re-opens in the summer.

With Paul Scholes and the evergreen Ryan Giggs still having a part to play in the club's future but not getting any younger and Owen Hargreaves crocked, Fergie will look to add some youthful exuberance to his midfield, with a number of transfer rumours turning into solid transfer targets.

Wads of cash sometimes does the trick. Despite Tottenham controlling long portions of the match with Aaron Lennon and Luka Modric catching the eye and threatening City's defense on more than one occasion, a Peter Crouch own goal was ... Continue reading →

Liverpool are looking at putting together a bid for Arsenal's Theo Walcott after becoming increasingly frustrated in their attempts to land a top class winger.
The Reds saw arch-rivals Manchester United beat them to the signature of their number one target, Ashley Young ,who joined from Aston Villa for £15m.

In a bid to establish dominance, a cockerel performs a waltz of sorts about the hen house yard, strutting in a semi-circle with its wing down and glaring menacingly at his fellow poultry, spoiling for a fight. Should this not suffice, the cockerel puffs out his chest, extends his wings, and runs around the yard as if he were a rampaging bull.

Disheartening Spurs dealt a footballing lesson to Hearts in their Europa League qualifier first-leg last night. Harry Redknapp's side eased to a 0-5 victory over Hearts with goals from Rafael Van der Vaart, Jermain Defoe, Jake Livermore, Gareth Bale and Aaron Lennon. Redknapp was gracious in pointing out the bigger budget at his disposal.

Gareth Bale. Metrosexual manbag man. And loving it.

We realise that environmental concerns preclude the use of plastic carrier bags for the transference of grooming product from home to training ground. Indeed, we have fully supported the rise of the manbag over the past few years, especially the ones emblazoned with cute images of pretty babies.

Back down to earth with not so much a bump, more like an avalanche. Wile. E. Coyote, maybe, poised atop some improbably sheer mountain range, on the pinnacle of success, then his cunning plan fails, inevitably. He doesn't just fall to earth. Rather, it's a slow descent, each painful moment of impact freeze-framed with a resigned look to the camera.

Tuesday, it looked fairly certain that American sports tycoon Stan Kroenke's takeover bid for English side Arsenal was likely to succeed, but today's headlines tell a different story.

Alisher Usmanov, who still holds a sizeable chunk of the London-based side's shares at 27 percent, refuses to sell his shares to Kroenke, as he says he "loves" Arsenal — despite the club's insistence that the remaining shareholders accept the American's offer of £11,750 per share.

The transfer rumour mill has gone into overdrive and there are some fascinating stories concerning suggested arrivals and departures at White Hart Lane today, but perhaps the main interest centres on two players who may leave the club in the summer.

When a short-list of players was drawn up as likely candidates for a move away last month, the names of Aaron Lennon and Rafael van der Vaart were nowhere to be seen.

Spurs could be willing to cash in on the England winger after a series of...

The one area where Spurs don't look to need any strengthening is in midfield and although there is potential for a Charlie Adam or Scott Parker to come in as cover, it's hard to see how they would justify a place above Sandro or Hudd.

The priority for Harry Redknapp this summer will be to hold on to Sandro, Luka Modric and Gareth Bale as the rumours increase.

Spurs and Villa fans, prepare for shame Tottenham duo Aaron Lennon and Tom Huddlestone, and Aston Villa's Ashley Young, have flown to Marbella to join the cast of chronically poor reality TV show The Only Way Is Essex. The Premier League stars are set to take up supporting roles in the somehow BAFTA-winning series, along [.

I'm glad I don't write about England. You'd smell the apathy the second you clicked the link. I do, for my sins, still watch them when I can. Sometimes that's as much to see other talents in action as much as it is England. On Saturday, it was for Xhaka and Shaqiri mainly. They along with Inler and especially Barnetta lived up to their hype.

They along with Inler and especially Barnetta lived up to their hype.

Whilst watching England's latest debacle unfold, I kept hearing blunt phrases and outbursts hurled at the TV such as ‘That Walcott is bloody useless!', ‘what's he doing now?!?', ‘Oh God not Walcott again' and ‘DO SOMETHING WITH THE BALL YOU MUPPET!!'. Then I realised it was my voice.

Aaron Lennon has joined the long list of players Liverpool are hoping to sign,...

So the excitement continues. No, wait. What's the opposite of excitement? That's it. Boredom. The boring boredom continues. Monday saw a trending frenzy (get me, trending) on Twitter regarding an apparent thirty-five million smacker bid from United for Modric. Which, understandably got many fans of both clubs into somewhat of a social media flap.

The summer transfer window has for Spurs so far been equivalent to a disconcertingly long and awkwardly silent pause; occasionally, this peace has been punctuated with occasional panics regarding potential sales of key players, with the most recent being the feted Chelsea move for Luka Modric.

Tottenham Need Players to Match their Aspirations - originally posted on Soccerlens.com

Another week draws to a close at White Hart Lane with Luka Modric still very much a Spurs player. The Daily Mail may claim that there was a tantrum and showdown talks, but the message from Daniel Levy is very clear, there will be no sale.

As we start to approach the new 2011/12 soccer season in Europe, most of the news making the headlines concerns transfer requests, player moves and the like, which creates a ton of real interest for all soccer fans. Following your club's pursuit of a star player gets the juices flowing ready for that first League game of the year that we all look forward to so much.

Some good twitter reaction and quotes from various footballers following our 3-1 win over QPR. The best discovered ones below:

With no fresh injuries reported, it could well be an unchanged league side at Craven Cottage this weekend as Spurs make the short trip to Fulham.

William Gallas and Steven Pienaar both seem to have come through last night's game in Kazan unscathed but may have to settle for a slot on the bench.

Squealing like a group of Justin Bieber fans Tottenham were delighted when Aaron Lennon's goal put them in the driving seat against Fulham yesterday afternoon. So much so that they found the nearest microphone and made a noise not dissimilar to a bunch of gobbling turkeys getting over-excited at a Women's Institute meeting.

Tottenham Hotspur 3-0 Bolton Wanderers Premier League 3rd December 2011

Harry Redknapp's Lilywhites strolled home to yet another league victory as they consolidated their place in the top three in the league.

Third meets fourth on Thursday in the English Premier League. The home side, Tottenham, are on a ridiculously good run where they have garnered 33 points out of the last 39 available. That means they have moved from a precarious position in the early part of the season, near the bottom of the table after damaging defeats against Manchester United and Manchester City, to the loftier position of third.

Sitting hand in hand with the big 3 towards the top of the Premier League table, halfway through the season Spurs supporters need to take a moment to understand how good they have it. Tottenham's unstoppable quartet of Aaron Lennon, Gareth Bale, Luka Modric, and Rafael van der Vaart is producing some of the most radiant attacking performances the Premier League has seen in recent memory.
