As most England fans look back on last night's game with expectation after another easy home win against a poor Bulgarian team in a system that will more than likely be pulled to pieces by the worlds better nations, us Spurs fans are waiting with trepidation of news on Michael Dawson's injury.

Corluka is no match for Kaboul at RB and it seems Bassong is no match at CB If you read between the lines last week, you would have noticed that we called out Younes Kaboul in not one, but two ... Continue reading →

Our injury list to key players is becoming a bit of a joke.

August 16th 1977, June 25th 2009 and October 16th 2010. Two of those dates have gone down in history and one could do. The first is the day Elvis died, the second was the death of Michael Jackson and the third was last Saturday. Two self proclaimed King's have passed away, leaving only one true King in our midst, but for how much longer?

You'll be pleased to know after our midweek Champions League exploits we're travelling to a ground where we've had some success and a good record in the premier league. Oh wait, hang on. That's not true at all. Dammit. Spurs have won only one of the last 9 games we've played at the Reebok, with the last league win coming in 1996.

How times change. It wasn't so long ago a spurs fan like you and I would be skipping into work today having managed to get a point against the current champions of England and having given them a really good game, instead we're counting missed chances, silly mistakes and wondering what could've been.

I'm not going to sit here and knee jerk like so many were last night during the game. Nor am I going to lambast every player in a spurs shirt. I'll single some out later in the piece. As 'Arry said after the game, it was a great defeat.

We Spurs fans can be a pessimistic lot.
