I've found the situation with Jamie O'Hara very frustrating. Here is a young player who very much wants to play for Spurs and has always put everything into it when he does, yet hasn't been given much in the way of opportunities.

This season he's found himself out on loan at Portsmouth and whilst playing every week will help with O'Hara's development, it's been annoying to see him playing much better for Pompey than Jermaine Jenas has for Tottenham.

Hands, knees, sneeze!

Following initial interest in the summer, Inter Milan coach Jose Mourinho is reportedly preparing a fresh €11.5 million bid for Tottenham midfielder Jermaine Jenas. 'The Special One' may also opt to offer Spurs a cash-plus-player deal with Sulley Muntari being used as aggregate.

While two games in three days is no simple task, the double-header of a visit to Fulham and the hosting of West Ham ought to be stamped with the words "Cracking Opportunity" in great big bold font, like that used for the A-Team logo. For a team with Champions League aspirations these are both eminently winnable games.

Tottenham meet Fulham on Boxing Day for the third consecutive season, but on this occasion we travel to Craven Cottage. As Premier League tests go it is a stern one, with the Cottagers riding high after thrashing Manchester United.
We have won only one of our eight league trips to Fulham since they returned to the top flight in 2001/02, drawing three times and losing on four occasions. Click to continue reading...

Right, Man City at the Lane tonight and our first chance of the season to test ourselves against the financial cream of the crop. They may not be amongst the Premier League's elite quite yet but with their spending power and monetary clout and the fact that, in reality, they're in direct competition with us for the same spots, their visit has more spice about it than usual.

The slight air of unreality surrounding our season so far was further compounded by the sight of Jermaine Jenas and Tom Huddlestone in an England midfield, baking under a Middle Eastern sun as the whiplash gales destroyed my garden fence. Congratulations to all our internationals, especially to Tom on his debut. Click to continue reading...

The England squad to play Brazil next Saturday in an International friendly has been announced. The main news for Man United is that Michael Owen has yet again not been included in the squad. This isn't much of a surprise, he hasn't played that much for United, so why would he get into the England squad? Click to continue reading...

As some of you may have read on here before, I'm a big fan of Michael Owen and have already written a couple of blogs on the Man Utd hitman, in which both somewhere champion Owen going to next summers World Cup. But after Fabio Capello revealed his latest squad for Saturday's game against Brazil last night, I think we can finally assume that Owen's South African dream is all but over.

If the draw at Bolton a few weeks back was a game the Tottenham of old would have certainly lost, then today's hard fought 2-1 win down at Portsmouth was definitely in the same bracket. Ahead through a well placed header from Ledley King and a marvellously worked goal from Jermain Defoe, Spurs then contrived to find themselves under overwhelming pressure for much of the second half.

Who will make that plane? (I.e who should be in the squad for the World Cup Finals as opposed to who will construct the airplane itself.)

With England firmly through to the World Cup Finals next summer we can look forward to long balmy nights in and outside pubs/bars enjoying the festivities and also having a team to support, hopefully Ireland will also make it through the play-offs as well.

Redknapp wishes he had got his man.

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp has revealed his regret at failing to sign Inter Milan midfielder Patrick Vieira.
Redknapp is a keen admirer of the former Arsenal captain and although such a move would not come without controversy, he nonetheless tried to bring him to White Hart Lane in the summer.

So much for that then. The sizzling atmosphere generated by the White Hart Lane crowd worked in part for Jermain Defoe's sensational opener but United's multiple Premier League winning experience was simply too much of a barrier for us to break down. First defeat of the season. It's the end of the world. Click to continue reading...

Early pacesetters take on title holders.

Tottenham's squad is boosted by the return of midfielder Jermaine Jenas and goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes.

Ledley King remains a doubt due to a groin problem, but Sebastien Bassong is fit after shrugging off a knee injury he picked up playing for Cameroon.

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.

As we gear up for another exciting weekend of football action, it's also time to gear up for the end of the summer transfer window.

With the hours steadily ticking down towards Tuesday's deadline, time is getting thin for clubs to finalize moves that are already in the works and have a chance to put their feet up on deadline day instead of making a mad dash to get things done at the last minute.

Top of the table but still looking to bring in new talent.

It's the second half. Liverpool have bossed it and lead 1-0 through a deflected shot from Dirk Kuyt. Torres is giving Bassong the run-around. Heads are dropping and the outlook is bleak.
Suddenly, as if from nowhere, Torres is through on goal. He's got about 35 yards to go. King's been caught out and it looks as if the Spaniard is going to double his team's lead. Click to continue reading...

Time for a new challenge?

Villa have been admirers of Jenas for a long time, as Sportsmail first revaled, and he is growing increasingly dissatisfied with his lot at Tottenham.
Manager Harry Redknapp is persisting with Tom Huddlestone and Luka Modric in various roles with Wilson Palacios to fit back in and Jenas is weighing up where his future best lies.

Fans of Tottenham Hotspur are probably relieved that this summer's transfer window is a lot quieter than in previous years -- the club made at least 18 signings of 1 million GBP or more in the last two years according to this webiste.
But -- aside from two kids -- their one big signing is a puzzling one: a lanky yet skillful international striker for the only club in the Premier League that already had a lanky yet skillful international striker. Click to continue reading...

Where the hell did this come from?

The Rumour

Rafa Benitez is planning a move for Jermaine Jenas.

The Spaniard asked about Jenas, 25, in January, when he hoped to take him to Anfield as part of the deal which saw Robbie Keane return to Spurs.

However, Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp did not want to lose him at that stage of the season.

Aston Villa manager Martin O'Neill has had to fend off approaches for some of his own stars from last season, but the Villans are now starting to pursue some of their own targets.

The biggest transfer-related news of the day might actually be something that's not related to an actual transfer.

Tottenham fans must be thinking that their team is cursed since the club management, or should we say Daniel Levy, has spent a tremendous amount of money on new players in the last few years but they are still far away from breaking into the top four. The biggest flaw in this "master plan" was that the club did not have the patience to stick to the players they'd got and gradually reinforce the squad, but they kept buying and selling players like their lives depended on that.
