THFC1882 presents Adam Nathan's report of Tottenham Hotspur's visit to Manchester City.

They are two time-old clichés, but not only is it a funny old game, it's also one heck of a rollercoaster following Tottenham Hotspur. After a drab first half, the second period against Manchester City yesterday afternoon pretty much had it all.

So the Premier League season is finally here, it's Tottenham Hotspur's opening game versus Everton..........

That's how the preview for this one should have started, but the unfortunate and unseemly rioting of early August put paid to Spurs opening fixture. Now this is the game in hand it's vital that Spurs get maximum points if they want to be taken seriously as title challengers.

It wasn't pretty. On a cold December Sunday afternoon, Tottenham Hotspur saw off a resilient Sunderland to record a 1-0 victory and get back to winning ways in the Premier League.

Winning ugly is the sign of champions. Not getting carried away here, I'm not suggesting Spurs are going to win the title, there's a chance of it, but Manchester City are a scarily good outfit and their neighbours are impossible to write off.

Tottenham Hotspur v Sunderland, White Hart Lane, Sunday 18th December, 3pm Kick off

So on Thursday night Spurs European adventure for this season came to an end, despite a 4-0 win at Shamrock. The perceived wisdom is that this is a blessing in disguise and can leave Harry Redknapp and his team to concentrate on getting Spurs back into the Champions League.

THFC1882 welcomes another guest writer on board. This time it's Glen Bocking. Glen is an Essex boy but now lives in Stoke so is handily placed to attend this game. Glen's first Spurs memories are the '91 FA Cup semi and final! Great start to his Spurs watching!

Saturday 26th November 2011, 3pm Kick-off. The Hawthorns.

It's a rare Saturday 3pm Saturday kick off for Tottenham Hotspur this week. Not that the game time should faze Harry Redknapp's dazzling Spurs side, on the face of it, not much could or should at the moment.

A nondescript autumnal evening in a mousy part of north London. Monday night football, a game on the dullest day of a week that's barely got started. The ground's not quite full, acres of blue until 5 minutes or so before kick-off. A game we should win, and did, by a couple of goals at home against a mid-table side.

Before getting into detailed discussion about the likely lineups, tactics and outcome of yet another Sunday afternoon Spurs match, let's get one thing out of the way first.

Press Conference video at the end. 'Two points from eight: two point from eight' The nightmare postponed for another season. Alone,alone,all,all alone,Alone on a wide wide sea! And never a saint took pity on My soul in agony.' (From the Rime of the Ancient Tottenham supporter) Now this isn't strictly true as Greg and his friends from Kent aboard the good ship 'Hope' have taken pity on me and

If there's one thing I love about Twitter is it's ability to start a full scale debate from one person's tweet. At approximately 10.30 this morning a Spurs fan, Kevin Jones, said "As a welshman I'm not bothered but Michael Dawson is not an England captain".

What has followed in the last hour has seen Michael Dawson's ability to not only be England's captain but also Spurs captain come into question.
