Spurs 2-0 Sunderland: Keane’s Contract & Darren Bent’s Twitter Revenge

All Action, No Plot 08 November @ 10:55 AM EST

A curious one, this. Back in the days of yore, when Luka Modric limped off against Birmingham, I don't think anyone foresaw things panning out quite this way. Robbie Keane undroppable, wingers treated like lepers, long-ball upon long-ball. We're muddling through, but the sooner both the Croatian genius and Lennon return, the better.

Heurelho Gomes. Octopus, Messiah and Generally Nice Guy.

pavlyuchenko's vodka bottle 07 November @ 01:47 PM EST

'sorry? (...) yeah shut the **** up.'

That wasn't really what I was expecting to be honest. Despite notable absences from the Sunderland side, and to a certain extent a lack of bite in our midfield today's game was one that we won't be forgetting for a while. It's safe to say that it was somewhat of an aggressive affair with both sides putting boots where perhaps they shouldn't have been and this incision found its way into the general scheme of play.

Spurs - Sunderland Preview: Are Tottenham A Club In Crisis?

All Action, No Plot 06 November @ 03:34 PM EST

Are we a club in crisis? While I hate to disappoint the doom-mongers and mischievous press-men, it is a little too hasty to go down that route just yet.

Come the full-time whistle we ought to have a clearer idea of where we stand. Naturally, this being White Hart Lane, moderation is not welcome.

Rockin’ Robin Reminiscent of Raul?

SoccerLens 04 November @ 01:53 PM EST

When Robin Van Persie scored Arsenal's third in the North London derby against Spurs, it prompted me to draw comparisons with the Real Madrid legend Raul. He has scored seven goals in the league and been given the role of the top of the Gunners attack. He has previously been compared to Dennis Bergkamp who was a genius at linking up attacks with the rest of his teammates.

Arsenal 3-0 Spurs: The Ghost of Gary Doherty

All Action, No Plot 01 November @ 03:50 PM EST

"There would be something quintessentially Spurs about doing all the hard work and then gifting away the game on a plate, through one moment of madness."

-AANP, yesterday

And sure enough...

It's easy to forget that honours were fairly even in the early stages, as misplaced pass was matched by misplaced pass in a midfield absolutely jam-packed with bodies.

Are we nearly there yet?

Spurs musings from JimmyG2 01 November @ 09:45 AM EST
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...

Arsenal exploit the channels and put Tottenham in a flap

The Arsenal Column 01 November @ 07:39 AM EST

Arsenal's use of the whole pitch created space and angles to open up the Spurs defence as two goals inside a minute set-up a comfortable win.
_______________________________________________________________________________

A period of forty-nine seconds in the first half typified what Arsenal are about this season as Arséne Wenger's Catalan-inspired reinvention has given the Gunners an explosiveness and unpredictability that was beginning to seep away from the side.

Arsenal 3-0 Spurs: Arsenal complete decade of dominance

The Beautiful Groan 31 October @ 08:46 PM EST

Arsenal 3 (Van Persie 42, 60, Fabregas 43) Tottenham 0
(Premiership)

A victory that was as satisfying as it was ultimately comfortable guaranteed that the 'noughties' would be completed without a single Spurs victory over Arsenal in the league, a run now stretching to an impressive twenty games.

Welcome to my nightmare: Arsenal beat Spurs

Soccerblog 31 October @ 06:22 PM EST


"Welcome to my nightmare, welcome to my breakdown."

Alice Cooper's 1975 campy anthem sums up the last five minutes of the first half for Spurs.

Harry Redknapp probably regrets starting a clearly unfit Ledley King who has struggled with injuries this season. Sagna on the right whips in a cross which Van Persie reacts to more quickly, outmaneuvering King to turn the ball past Heurelho Gomes for the first goal in the 42nd minute.

NLD - We did bad

The Boys From White Hart Lane 31 October @ 04:36 PM EST
That could have gone better. But I'll stand by my previous comments; Arsenal fans are generally morons.
Essentially, we did badly. We did very badly indeed. But up until about 40 minutes in, it was looking like a very close gig. We were defending both in numbers and extremely competently. Apart from one or two hairy moments, Ledley King and Seb Bassong were doing a more than adequate job. Click to continue reading...

Little Trouble in Big London – NLD I As It Happened

pavlyuchenko's vodka bottle 31 October @ 09:50 AM EST

dig, dig, dig.

Good afternoon everybody! I thought it would be a good opportunity to do another live match report as this is naturally such an important match. The big news to start off with is that we're playing in a 4-3-3 again with an attacking trident of Bentley, Crouch and Keano.

Arsenal - Spurs Preview: Good News and The Usual Grumble

All Action, No Plot 30 October @ 04:00 PM EST

Normally the points in this fixture are rather an irrelevance, but this time there is more at stake than just bragging rights. The sides go into the game separated only by goal difference, and the three points up for grabs could prove crucial come May. Ultimately, league position is the gauge, and this season for a change we have a realistic chance of finishing above l'Arse.

Spurs 2-0 Everton: Squad Depth & The Benny Hill Penalty

All Action, No Plot 28 October @ 05:39 PM EST

We're great when we're winning. Opponents are forced to push forward, and we duly pick them off on the break, with the clinical precision of a trained sniper (until Keane starts stumbling over his own feet). We have the players, including those on the fringes of the squad, to counter with pace and inventiveness, on top of which it makes for a cracking spectacle.

Pavlyuchenko in Exile and the Returning Kings

I don't understand a word of it either. What I do know is that whilst 'The Emperor' looked sharp tonight in a hold-up role. However he had plenty of chances to place his name on the scoresheet that went wanting.

Portsmouth 1-2 Spurs: Complicating the Uncomplicated

All Action, No Plot 18 October @ 10:24 AM EST

Not so much a game of two halves as a game of two thirds and a third third. We seemed to be cruising serenely after an hour or so – but then that wouldn't be the Tottenham way, would it? Cue a wild thump of the self-destruct button, the halving of our lead and a daft sending off. The three points were eventually achieved in slightly nerve-jangling, harum-scarum style.

Why did you do it Jermain!? If there is anything that is going to make you look like a liability to Capello; it would be getting carried away in the heat of the moment and making a rash move; such as the one that saw you leave the pitch; and our beloved team in a whole load of trouble this afternoon.

José Luís

Todos Somos Portugal 04 October @ 09:48 AM EST
Não é muito conhecido fora do mundo do futebol e sempre o conheci, como ele próprio o refere, como o Zé Luís do Estrela da Amadora. Sempre disponível, nunca o vi colocar-se em bicos de pés, ao contrário de tantos outros com menos valia e conhecimentos. Talvez por isso, apanhado no turbilhão das convulsões do Estrela da Amadora, acabou por sair. Click to continue reading...

Spurs - Bolton Preview: Knives Still Out For Keane

Still reeling from the shock revelation that the word "gullible" had been removed from the dictionary, we at AANP Towers were sent scrambling to our official panic stations yesterday as news of ‘Arry's alleged departure spread like wildfire. The panic button was hit, the lights flashed and the stern lady kept announcing "This is not a drill".

Spurs 5-0 Burnley: Keane Sticks Four Fingers Up At Doubters

All Action, No Plot 26 September @ 04:03 PM EST

Curiously, our most emphatic win in recent years was achieved without us ever really hitting top gear. There were some moments at the end of the first half when we played true champagne football, and Defoe might have finished off a couple of moves so pleasing on the eye they ought to have been put on canvass and stuck in a gallery.

Spurs - Burnley Preview: Will Keane Play Left Mid? Is Dawson A Jedi Yet?

All Action, No Plot 26 September @ 05:33 AM EST

Two consecutive defeats it may be, but even the most pessimistic amongst us have struggled to make a convincing case for this being a crisis. Man Utd and Chelski are the best two teams in the country, and amongst the best handful in Europe. Losing to them is not exactly to be welcomed, but neither is it a cause for alarm.

Preston 1-5 Spurs: Has Crouch Done Enough To Become Plan A?

If you want to save yourself time you might as well just cast your mind back to the first round tie away to Doncaster – five more goals, away from home, and despite the occasional early scare the gulf in class eventually told. Deja-vu all over again. It's not the Tottenham I grew up with I tell ye.

Preston - Spurs Carling Cup Preview: Giovani’s Chance

All Action, No Plot 23 September @ 07:54 AM EST

Well we can call off the missing person's search. Head down to Deepdale tonight and you're likely to be treated to rare glimpses of Giovani and David Bentley, last seen being surreptitiously airbrushed into the background as 'Arry's favourites went through their pre-match warm-ups. There has been some clamour for Giovani's inclusion in recent weeks, and after the two woeful attempts by 'Arry to compensate for the absence of Modric, it would really warm the cockles tonight to see the Mexican put in a virtuoso performance on the left.

No-one does fickle quite like we do at Tottenham, yet despite this, the reaction to last week's defeat has by and large retained a sense of perspective. 12 points from 5 games still represents a ruddy good start to proceedings, and with forthcoming fixtures involving Burnley, Bolton, Portsmouth and Stoke we ought to be chugging along nicely by the time the clocks go back.

Can Spurs Cope Without Modric?

EPL Talk 31 August @ 09:12 AM EST

Spurs have been the surprise team so far this season with some great performances. I don't say surprise in that they are not expected to play well but they have already beaten Liverpool, admittedly at the moment they aren't playing the way they did last season, and look extremely strong in all areas.

Who's Harry about to buy?

THBN - Tottenham Hotspur Blog News 31 August @ 05:57 AM EST
Our great win against the Brum was truly marred by The Modfather's leg fracturing and Ledley suffering a groin injury.

I suppose the one bit of good news is that Woody came through his first training session on Friday. I'm not sure how long he'll still be out for though, but seeing as we don't play for two weeks, he could be fit in time for our biggest test yet, Manchester United at home, although I don't think he'll be match-fit.

Transfer Rumors (20 August 09): Everton in for Taylor and Taylor, Tottenham to move for Portsmouth’s James, Hull target Negredo signs for Sevilla, and more

SoccerLens 21 August @ 03:30 AM EST

When you follow up a loss at home to a supposedly inferior side by conceding a goal inside the first minute of your next match, it doesn't speak too well of your defense, and with that in mind, Martin O'Neill is hard at work looking for back line reinforcements to help Aston Villa right the ship while there's still plenty of time to.
