While Harry continues to dominate the headlines there's the small matter of our Premiership fixture against Newcastle United on Saturday evening as Spurs prepare to welcome their boss back into the dugout.

Normally at this stage of proceedings we have an injury update and the club will be sweating on the fitness of a number of players including Jermain Defoe, Rafael van der Vaart, Younes Kaboul and Aaron Lennon.

Today's announcement at Southwark Crown Court means that Spurs manager Harry Redknapp is free to resume full duties at White Hart Lane. We are therefore unlikely to see a repeat of Monday's game at Liverpool where Harry was absent due to transport problems and it's likely that all the players will be happy to see his familiar face in the dugout.

Stylish and Educational! 3nil's Onside/Offside Shirt.

Imagine a perfectly timed run from the far side. Ozil slips Benzema in, which is followed by a cool finish to the far post. But there's something wrong; the assistant referee has raised his flag and the goal doesn't stand.

It's been a long week for Harry Redknapp and the manager will no doubt be delighted to get back to football affairs as Spurs take on Watford at Vicarage Road tomorrow night. Reports today are confirming that Harry will be in the dugout and he will pick the team but who is available to choose from?

City now signing United players for oddjobs Those who felt that Owen Hargreaves would never be able to hold down a regular place in the Manchester City team can feel some what vindicated by the news that he's to be employed as a pitchside cameraman by the club. As if to reinforce his reputation for [.

Obviously not used to moving at these speeds, a terrified Kevin Davies motors past Macclesfield Town's Tony Diagne at the Reebok.

It's Monday, which means it's time for your Premiership Party! Maybe you'd be hopping a little higher on the streets today if you were a Swansea futbolita (pass the bread kindly now, love) but what's football if there are no upsets involved?

Everything about Samir Nasri's look here screams: "TA BOUCHE! I'm worth £4million more than you!" (SNAP to the Maybelline Mascara ads) but even Liverpool's Jordan Henderson must've shrugged it off in their slim 1-0 victory over Man City last night.

Kenny Dalglish today praised the team behind the team as he prepares to celebrate a year since his memorable return to Melwood.
Our most famous No.7 was invited back into the dugout 12 months ago this weekend following the departure of Roy Hodgson from Anfield.
Since then he has transformed the fortunes of the team on the field by bringing unity back to the club where he scored 172 goals in 515 games as a player.

Former Aston Villa & Liverpool boss Gerard Houllier: I will never return to football management

Truth be told I'd prefer the 2002 vintage, but I'd be lying if I said I was completely cold about the possible return of Sir Thierry of Henry. It's difficult not to be taken in by the romance of our all-time top scorer coming back for a few months, even if he is now one score and fourteen years old.

We're so close now you can almost smell the reindeer dung. We reach the final window in the SPL Advent calendar. Fling open the curtains and have a nosy at St Mirren.
One thing you can say about St Mirren is that Danny Lennon will do what's best for St Mirren Football Club and what's best for Danny Lennon.

Lots of former Liverpool players have entered the stressful world of football management over the years, but Steve McManaman is not one of them, and judging by his latest comments, it doesn't look like he'll be following the likes of Robbie Fowler and Dietmar Hamann into the dugout any time soon.

Boas Constricted To Just One Season?

Andre Villas-Boas is confident his Chelsea team can still qualify for the Champions League knock-out stages, despite last night's 2-1 defeat at Bayer Leverkusen.

But confidence seems to be severely lacking for the Blues so far this season, and last night's result means they have now lost four of their last seven games.

Harry Redknapp enjoyed a successful return to the Tottenham Hotspur dugout tonight as he saw his side stroll past Aston Villa 2-0 at White Hart Lane. With the win, Spurs are up to third place in the Premier League table, four points behind Manchester United with a game in hand.

The spotlight this season has been on the two Manchester sides, and problems and both Arsenal and Chelsea and nobody has paid any real attention to a Spurs side that is much better than the one that finished fifth last season.

The prognosis on Rafael van der Vaart's latest injury is better than at first feared and it seems that the Dutchman could well be fit for Monday night's game with Aston Villa. VDV suffered the problem during Holland's friendly with Switzerland and was subsequently withdrawn from the Dutch squad to face Germany.

UPDATE: Guys, this is real. No official confirmation from the team, but...look, you'll have to trust me. It's real.

By now I'm sure you've all read the big news. The Boston Globe reports that Jay Heaps is set to be named the next New England Revolution head coach.

England goalkeeping coach Ray Clemence admitted to hospital

• Clemence 'having tests in hospital' after falling sick on Friday • 63-year-old likely to miss Sweden friendly The Football Association have confirmed that the England goalkeeping coach, Ray Clemence, has been admitted to hospital.

Mention of Harry Redknapp's managerial qualities is always guaranteed to spark some serious debate but is there more to his armoury than just an arm round the shoulder?

Emmanuel Adebayor seems to think so and he has gone on record this week in suggesting that the Spurs boss is equally as good as his Real Madrid coach, Jose Mourinho.

The last few minutes of the match at Craven Cottage were difficult to bear for those Spurs fans with the healthiest of hearts so it's certain it wouldn't have been pleasant viewing for manager Harry Redknapp – a fact that Joe Jordan acknowledged after the game.

"Never mind the goalmouth scramble, that last half hour will have been a good test for Harry," Joe said after the match.

On yer head, son Manchester City ran out as comfortable winners against Villarreal last night, but they didn't come through the match completely unscathed. Manager Roberto Mancini was left with a nasty bump on the head after banging his head on the Villarreal dugout. The usually suave Italian was forced to don an ice-pack as [.

Glentoran goalkeeping coach David McClelland came about as close to losing an eye as is humanly possibly when his contact lens was knocked out by a rogue firework that exploded in front of the dugout during his side's Irn-Bru League Cup tie with Portadown (a fixture you may well remember produced a storming goal from Matty Burrows last season) in Northern Ireland last night.

Blown out of the dugout The match between Glentoran and Portadown in Northern Ireland's Irn-Bru League Cup (great sponsor) was on the verge of being abandoned last night after fireworks were repeatedly thrown onto the pitch. One firework exploded near the Glens dugout, blowing a contact lens from the eye of goalkeeping coach David McClelland [.

Jamie Carragher has all the hallmarks required to be a future Liverpool manager, according to Tommy Smith.
The Reds vice-captain has made no secret of his desire to enter coaching once he hangs up his boots and has already begun a program to earn his UEFA B licence.
And while Carragher still has many more games to play before his playing career draws to close, Smith believes the 33-year-old has what it takes to be a success in the dugout.

Old foes Everton and Liverpool will lock horns once more at Goodison Park on Saturday in the 216th Merseyside derby.
For David Moyes it is the chance to build on some steadily improving home form that has seen the Blues recover from that shock opening game defeat to QPR to go unbeaten in their last four games in all competitions in front of their own supporters.

Sylvain Distin has sung the praises of Luis Suarez, but the Frenchman does not fear the Liverpool striker as the Merseyside derby approaches.

Manchester City's eventful week went from bad to worse when the club confirmed that Carlos Tevez has been suspended until his alleged refusal to come on as a substitute against Bayern Munich is fully reviewed.

The joint Barclays Premier League leaders suffered a humbling 2-0 defeat at the Allianz Arena as German international striker Mario Gomez once again proved his mettle.

From one recalcitrant to another, we have Mancini's first test: curing a suicidal Manchester City malaise (by Darshan Joshi)

At least Roberto Mancini's selection headaches are thinning. The petulance of Edin Džeko will see the Bosnian left out of City's weekend clash with Blackburn, while Carlos Tévez's latest insipid tirade has seen Mancini finally pull the plug on last season's top goalscorer.

Common sense amongst Chelsea fans ahead of the Swansea game would have told you that we would have needed to rest the players that played the whole two hours against Fulham in midweek and possibly players that played almost 70 minutes. So why on earth have the media made the fact that Frank Lampard an unused substitute as another obsession with one of our players.

New Inter Milan boss Claudio Ranieri got off to the best possible start in his new role as coach as his side battled to a 3-1 win over Bologna on Saturday night.
