44 year-old Gus Poyet is a good up and coming manager who was a great player at Chelsea and
Tottenham Hotspur. Gus Poyet an up and coming manager The Uruguayan has been Assistant manager
under Dennis Wise at Leeds United and Assistant manager at Tottenham under the short one year
reign of Juande Ramos.
The old saying hard work never goes unrewarded is perfectly embodied in Manchester United
Manager Sir Alex Ferguson. Not only has he won multiple titles with United, but he is now the most
successful manager in English football history since taking over United in November 1986.
It in light of this that the Glazer family are in talks with Ferguson and plan to reward him
with a new contract that will make him the best paid manager in the English Premier League.
Younes hated the 125-year anniversary shirt
Glen Johnson's 87th minute winner for Liverpool against Chelsea on Sunday has added plenty of
significance to Tottenham's clash with Aston Villa at White Hart Lane on Monday night.
The indifferent form of Andre Villas-Boas' side has seen the Blues slip to fourth, behind Newcastle
United and level on points with Spurs, who have two games in hand over their London rivals.
Fulham v Tottenham: A Familiar Face Awaits Spurs - originally posted on Soccerlens.com
Tottenham Hotspur travel across Londonto face Fulham in the Premier League on Sunday,
but the Cottagers are not the only familiar face they will encounter. Former boss Martin Jol, faces
the task of trying to keep Harry Redknapp's free flowing Spurs team in check.
Harry Redknapp's been involved in football long enough to know that great opportunities are hard
to come by. It's taken him many years to reach the level he has, so should he risk throwing it all
away?
A look at previous England managers such as Eriksson, Keegan, Hoddle and McClaren proves that
it's hard or even impossible to recover your reputation.
What's this tipos,... Black Sunday?! No, it's just
Madrid and Barca fighting it out in black to see who comes up tops in the Spanish
league! And they're both tied in first spot with Levante after a 4-0 (Madrid)
and 1-0 (Barca) victory respectively.
Ka-boom!! For all Spurs fans Younes Kaboul's 85th minute winner at the Emirates last season was
a moment to savour. It wasn't the first time the French international had scored a crucial goal in
a big game. Spurs 125th anniversary game had turned into a bit of a nightmare, being 4-1 down to
Aston Villa certainly didn't point to a glorious birthday celebration.
The general consensus in football is that change doesn't guarantee success, just ask Charlton
fans who thought that the ‘grass would be greener' without Alan Curbishley, or ask Roman
Abramovich who also appears to be no closer to world domination since the sacking of Jose
Mourinho.
There are exceptions to the rule though, and there's no better example than our rivals
Arsenal.
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.
It's late and I should be off to bed. I'm going down to the Isle of Wight tomorrow with my boys
and we've got an early-ish start. But if I don't post now it's going to be another week missed and
for now I'm keen to maintain the one post a week schedule. Also one of my favourite former Fulham
players is in the news this week.
With every passing day of the close season it's becoming increasingly apparent that Spurs won't
be completing any major deals until we clear some of the unwanted players from our books.
The reality is that Spurs simply pay average players too much in wages and so when it comes to
transferring our misfits from the club, it's no surprise we can't get rid of them.

"Mi hermano Gerard será mejor que yo". La predicción es de Sergi López, quizá el juguete roto
de la Masía por excelencia. Sergi era la gran promesa del Barça de los ochenta, Puyol antes de
Puyol. En Can Barça desde los trece años, su carrera crecía en aquel equipo pre Dream Team hasta
que todo saltó por los aires un día de lluvia, cuando fue a entrenarse a un pabellón de
baloncesto y se destrozó la rodilla.

So that was how the season ended for Real Madrid. Sadly, it's another bridesmaid finish for us with
the eternal rival taking all the plaudits and the bigger one, among the 2 domestic titles that were
up for grabs at the start of the season. Nevermind that the Copa Del Rey trophy pre-Sergio Ramos
looks far more elegant to the gangly and grotesque-looking La Liga trophy (complete with studs) –
winning La Liga is still the ultimate proof that Barcelona this season were the better team.

Ozil DESTROYED Sevilla Last NightLast night, Real Madrid made their annual trip to the
Sanchez Pizjuan to face Sevilla. It was a match that has been, based on recent history, fraught
with plenty of danger: not just danger of dropping points (we've lost quite a bit in those parts
these past several years), but also the danger of embarrassment.

Taarabt: I couldn't have done it without you, Mrs Warnock
Henry Swarbrick 21 Mar 2011
Barely a week in the Championship seems to pass without Adel Taarabt causing a stir.
By MIKE NASTRI
The New York Red Bulls have already added many new faces to the team that won the regular season
Eastern Conference crown. New York hopes to add one more piece to that puzzle with new trialist
Teemu Tainio.
The current Ajax midfielder arrived in Mexico for Red Bull camp on Thursday night.
Back when Juande Ramos first showed at Tottenham, he set about revolutionizing the club by
turning over the cuisine of Martin Jol a cuisine which, over a long enough period of time, would've
had the players looking like Martin Jol.
When Roberto Mancini landed at Citeh, he did the same only he changed the menu to include pizza
and booze.
All manner of United hullaballoo to follow. First here's an interview I did for Five in
Midfield (.com) about Spurs, Champions League football and blogging in general. Nothing
groundbreaking, just, you know, something to read if you've got a few spare minutes and Facebook is
broken. Ta.
