Crisis over at Anfield, then. Blimey, even David Ngog scored. Maybe it is because of such miracles that all the sensible advice from pundits about how "just one win" wouldn't alter Liverpool's dire on and off-field straits has gone through the defenestration process. Liverpool were almost everything against United that they weren't against either Sunderland or Olympique Lyonnais.

Toughie. I wouldn't fancy Kevin Davies big frame in my face for ninety minutes and I doubt Michael Dawson will either. This is the sort of game we'd get turned over in pre Harry. Even with him last season they bashed us up at the Reebok but he's had time to make the side a bit more resilient since then.

No disrespect, but we need to put a skip-load past this lot. As well as giving the likes of Three-Metre-Peter and Bentley a trademark ‘Arry run-around, it'll go some way to re-inflating our temporarily punctured confidence. Toasting Preston like a marshmallow will do us the world of good.

Word has it that Harry Redknapp is trying to lure his former Portsmouth defender back to White Hart Lane. Despite being quoted earlier in the season as saying he would be unwilling to bring Campbell back to Spurs, mainly due to the controversy surrounding his move to arch rivals Arsenal, the Tottenham boss is still a big admirer.

Solid answer to a problematic area?

Having failed to complete a last gasp deal to bring former West Ham man Anton Ferdinand Harry Redknapp may try a lot harder to make the Sunderland centre back a Tottenham man come January, not least because his defence is once again decimated by injuries.

United travel to White Hart Lane on Saturday in a top of the table Premier League clash. Spurs have won their first four games in a row but United can bring them crashing back to reality if they manage to take all three points in London. These two sides usually produce some decent encounters and I for one am hoping for more of the same this weekend.

So near yet so far!

Tottenham and Sunderland have failed to agree a loan swap involving Anton Ferdinand and Alan Hutton, according to Sky Sports sources.

Is Harry looking to sign another of his former players?

Telegraph Sport can reveal that Spurs are trying to sign Anton Ferdinand from Sunderland.
The 24-year-old central defender has been tracked by Spurs for some time – they attempted to sign him when he was at West Ham – but he chose to move to Sunderland for £8 million.

The last thing Redknapp wanted!

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Luka Modric faces a long spell on the sidelines after breaking his leg in the win over Birmingham City.

Modric was hurt following a tangle with Lee Bowyer during the early stages of the second half of Saturday's 2-1 success at White Hart Lane and was replaced by Peter Crouch.

New season is upon us!

Season ahead promises to be a problematic one for former England International.

Premiership clubs are circling for Tottenham winger David Bentley.

It looks like all our defensive responsibilities are being pinned on Ledley King for the big kick off against Liverpool at the Lane in two Sundays time. Considering last week Harry was saying our hero was yet to kick a ball this pre season, I'm a little concerned.

What concerns me more is the fact Levy has authorised an £8m deal for a centre back.

White Hart Lane was expected to be a busy place this summer following Harry Redknapp's statement that no less than nine players would be allowed to leave, whereas Spurs were expected to make some big name signings. After somewhat slow start of the transfer window, things are starting to move at Tottenham and after Peter Crouch, Spurs managed to capture very talented Newcastle defender Sebastien Bassong.

Done deal.

"Hey Jermain, whats the best route to the Spurs training ground?"

Sebastien Bassong is on the verge of joining Tottenham after Newcastle accepted an £8million deal.

The France star, who passed a medical on Thursday morning, will answer Harry Redknapp's desperate search for a defender after losing Jonathan Woodgate, Ledley King and Michael Dawson to injury.

The Rumour

Sebastien Bassong's Newcastle exit appears to have moved closer after he was fined two weeks' wages for refusing to travel to Sunday's friendly at Dundee United and it emerged he wants to play under Harry Redknapp at Tottenham.

Sunderland win at Celtic

Richardson broke the deadlock with a composed finish after 12 minutes following a dreadful slip from Darren O'Dea as Steve Bruce's side capitalised on their early pressure.

Jones , who had looked a persistent threat in his lone-striking role, doubled the Black Cats' lead in the 54th minute, converting a free header to score with ease.

Big plans brewing in the north-east.

Sunderland are preparing a double raid on Tottenham for David Bentley and Michael Dawson.

Black Cats boss Steve Bruce will tempt Spurs chief Harry Redknapp into doing business with a £16million offer for the pair. And the Spurs gaffer will use that money to step up his pursuit of Chelsea's England ace Joe Cole.

Are injury concerns in danger of fueling potential poor transfer decisions?

Harry Redknapp is making a player-plus-cash £8million move for Hull City's in-demand centre-half Michael Turner.

The Spurs boss needs to fill a gaping hole in his back line and is willing to offer squad men plus cash for the towering defender, who is 6ft 4ins.

I don't think so!

Emirates chief Arsene Wenger will then use the cash to pursue Fulham's Brede Hangeland, viewing the Norway star as a direct replacement for Toure.

The Cottagers are determined not to let their prized asset leave on the cheap and will demand all of the Toure money before they even consider selling him.

Liverpool winning 3-1 away at the KC stadium. Surely, no-one expected anything less if not anything more. The reigning champions level again for the umpteenth time, their leaky defence ensuring that the goal difference keeps them in behind Liverpool in second place. Yes, they did have two games in hand but chasing points and championships is not the most comfortable proposition especially when you have key champions league encounters looming on the horizon.

Juande Ramos is feeling the heat because the hapless Spurs are losing every match.

Two goals in the span of fifteen minutes saw Middlesbrough kickoff the new campaign with a 2-1 win.
Interesting game from my point of view. There's a reason why Justin Hoyte's moving to Boro. They need a reliable left back. David Wheater on the day was a bit on the poor side leaving Brad Jones out to dry on a couple of occasions and looking very shaky on a couple more.

The Tottenham revolution under Juande Ramos is well and truly underway, with the Spanish manager reportedly ready to offload no fewer than 16 players during the summer transfer window.
