Pavlyuchenko to Tottenham

5
It appears that Tottenham have signed Roman Pavlyuchenko from Spartak Moscow. This is exactly the move that they need to make, to sign a pure goal-scoring forward to replace Robbie Keane and most likely also Dimitar Berbatov. Pavlyuchenko showed at Euro 2008 that he is a player with a lot of ability, who can lead the front line and he should be a real star for Spurs and in the Premier League. Click to continue reading...

Boro v Spurs - Pain Preview

0
Before each of our games I'm going to try and assess our chances and come up with a few punts along the way. Not easy before we have seen any real action but let's see.

Tottenham start the game as reasonably strong favourites especially considering we are the away side. It won't be an easy game as Middlesbrough can beat anyone at the Riverside on their day and with a fit Alves in their side, it won't be an easy afternoon for Tottenham's back line.

Are Spurs an even bigger laughing stock than Newcastle? The cries of "Dimitar Berbatov" coming from the Fart Hart Lane crowd are slowly fading... The chants of "Keano" have already shifted 200 miles north to Liverpool...

Darren Bent in household pet murder shocker!

2
Ok, so Darren Bent scoring 4 times at a Championship side doesn't do a lot to ease the pain of losing your club's Player of the Year for 3 of the last 5 years, but it does give us a ray of hope.

At Norwich last night, Bent played in a lone role with Giovanni Dos Santos in behind. This is the type of position Bent was so successful with at Charlton and I feel it's the kind of formation that could serve us very well away from home, an area which has cost us Champions League football in recent seasons.

Hypocrite Spurs mad at losing Champions League tickets

Tottenham Hotspur have every right to be mad.
