Former Celtic Boys Give Boro A Boost

Follow The Boro Brick Road 13 March @ 01:32 PM EDT

After conceding early on in the first-half when Peter Lovenkrands had put the visitors ahead, Barry Robson and Scott McDonald linked up well to level the scoring 20 minutes later. It was a peach of goal from the 31-year-old who lashed the ball home with a 20-yard left-footed strike. Some could say it was a goal made in Celtic as both McDonald and Robson showed the Boro fans what they are capable of in big games.

Who On Earth Will Tottenham Play In Midfield On Saturday?

TottenhamBlog.com — The Spurs News Blog That Expects The Worst And Is Rarel 04 March @ 12:46 PM EDT

No Spurs season is complete without at least a couple of major injury crisis. The worst kind are the type which concentrate on a certain position, while leaving the rest of the squad intact. This results in at least one player floundering around as a square peg in a round hole, while a bunch of 19 year old youth players sit on the bench wondering when they're ever going to get a game, if the manager won't pick them even when down to the bare bones.

Former Celtic Man Is Digging Us Out Of Mess

Follow The Boro Brick Road 02 March @ 08:46 AM EDT

Gordon Strachan is slowly piecing his own Middlesbrough jigsaw together with the help of a few of his old pals from yesteryear in Scotland. The 53-year-old endured a few months of mixed reactions from the Boro faithful but now, after grabbing a few experienced players from north of the border, it looks like he has transformed our team of over-paid and inexperienced players into to a workforce of honest lads and it's far from the finished article.

Strachan yet to convince

Middlesbrough FC news, match reports and articles - Boro Mania 21 February @ 01:38 PM EDT

Firstly, I apologise for my long absence from BoroMania.com.

The last time I wrote for this website was in the aftermath of Gareth Southgate's sacking. That was four months ago - plenty of time for Southgate's successor Gordon Strachan to have imprinted his mark upon the Middlesbrough squad.

New Era At Boro Starts Tomorrow

Follow The Boro Brick Road 05 February @ 01:40 PM EDT

New manager.. check. New players.. check. Lower wage-bill.. check. So this is this the start of a new era at the Riverside. In a recent interview Steve Gibson declared the need to change the style of football we play at the club from a technical style of play to a more rugged and hard-working style.

Never Believe Harry As Keane Revisits Second Boyhood With Celtic

TottenhamBlog.com — The Spurs News Blog That Expects The Worst And Is Rarel 02 February @ 06:51 AM EDT

"Please God, he'll still be here in February. Robbie's here. He is the captain and very important to us, unless someone comes up with £50m or something for him." Harry Rednapp, January 8th 2010.

It's no wonder that Harry has a reputation for being a bit shady. When he first came to Spurs I was really impressed by how upfront he was, until I realised that none of his soundbites were worth the breath which they floated towards us on.

Few Big Money Moves As Transfer Window Closes

English Premier league 01 February @ 05:29 PM EDT

For anyone wondering if the financial credit crunch had impacted the business dealings of Premier League clubs, then today was proof that even Premier League teams are feeling the pinch. The vast majority of moves on the final day of the Januayr transfer window were loan's as teams did not have the capital to invest in new players.

Johnson leaves for City as busy transfer window closes for Boro

Middlesbrough FC news, match reports and articles - Boro Mania 01 February @ 04:09 PM EDT

Adam Johnson has completed his move to Manchester City today for an undisclosed fee as Boro were one of the busier teams on transfer deadline day. Johnson picks up the number 11 shirt, vacated by Robinho, and will once again attempt to cement himself in a Premier League first eleven.

Johnson has been in great goalscoring form for Boro this season, but criticism over his performances at the Riverside stadium have led to doubts over whether he is ready to play at a higher level.

Come And Get A Boro Shirt If You Think You’re Good Enough

Follow The Boro Brick Road 01 February @ 04:20 AM EDT

After Saturday's goalless draw at home to Bristol City in front of less than 18,000 Boro fans, today's transfer deadline day might be the most important day in Middlesbrough's season if things go the manager's way.

Gordon Strachan again highlighted the need for goalscorers in the team after seeing his side waste very good chances against the Robins.

Match Preview: Tottenham Hotspur v Leeds United

TottenhamBlog.com — The Spurs News Blog That Expects The Worst And Is Rarel 22 January @ 09:21 AM EDT

For the first time this season, Tottenham have now gone two games without scoring a goal. In theory, a home FA Cup tie against a third tier side, should be the perfect game for us to get back on the goal trail.

Life however, is never that simple. The third tier side that we're meeting are top of their league and have just knocked Manchester United out of the cup.

Match Preview: Liverpool v Tottenham Hotspur

TottenhamBlog.com — The Spurs News Blog That Expects The Worst And Is Rarel 20 January @ 08:20 AM EDT

This is a big one and not just because both sides could do with a win, after achieving disappointing results on Saturday.

A win for Liverpool will firmly put us in our place and give them the psychological advantage in the race for a Champions League spot. A win for us would open up a gap of 7 points and possibly cost their manager his job.

Sanford's Soccer Net 02 September @ 08:43 AM EDT

Where would Tottenham Hotspur's second XI finish in the Premier League? You be the judge. I've got: Cudicini - Naughton (or Hutton), Dawson, Woodgate, Bale - Bentley, Jenas, Bostock, Kranjcar - Pavlyuchenko, Crouch.

Is that better than Liverpool's second XI: Diego - Degen, Agger, Kyrgiakos, Fabio Aurelio - Lucas, Plessis - Benayoun, Voronin, Babel - N'Gog?

Doncaster - Spurs Preview; Plus Some Tottenham Transfer Musings

All Action, No Plot 26 August @ 08:06 AM EDT

Well truth be told I've found this all a little unsettling so far. Top of the league, three wins in three - and looking good value for it too. This is not the Tottenham I grew up with. The Tottenham I know and love would consistently let me down. Capitulate from positions of seeming invulnerability.

Spurs Boss Keen to Sign £10m Celtic Midfielder Scott Brown

Caught Offside 19 August @ 10:23 AM EDT

Redknapp still keen on spending.

Over 700 Ashes tickets still available Click Here to Buy!

The Tottenham manager travelled to Glasgow to watch the Scotland international in action in Tuesday night's Champions League qualifying tie with Arsenal.
It is believed that, with much of his budget spent on Peter Crouch and the Sheffield United duo of Kyle Naughton and Kyle Walker, Redknapp may need to offload at least one player if he is to add Brown to an already well-stocked central midfield.

Spurs Sign Young Full-Backs - But Will We Ever See Them?

So, our first signings of the summer are announced – and rather curiously they are more full-backs. The trendily-named Kyle Naughton and Kyle Walker – 20 and 19 respectively – may sound like characters from Starship Troopers, but they are now lilywhites, plucked from Sheff Utd for anywhere between 5 and 10 mil, depending on which website you trust.

Double (Kyle) vision

Stop the press: we've finally signed someone.
Not just someone, mind - we've signed two players. Oh yes, we don't do things by halves here at Tottenham. In a tame, by usual Spurs standards, summer so far, we've finally done what we do best and laid signature to cheque and forked out a small fortune for a new recruit or two.

Naughton chase lost

| Post Match Pint 22 July @ 06:57 AM EDT
After another typical Evertonesque drawn out transfer saga it looks like we will have to admit defeat in the chase for Kyle Naughton.
I have to admit the whole deal has been blown out of all proportion, he is only a 20-year-old full-back untested in the Premier League after all.
But given the scarcity of genuine transfer deals this close-season (again! Click to continue reading...

Kyle Naughton Joins Spurs

Blargins Injury Time 18 July @ 05:27 PM EDT

It seems that Everton target, Kyle Naughton has joined Spurs after Everton refused to match Spurs' offer, even though Sheff Utd had granted Everton permission to speak to the player, only to have that permission rescinded after Spurs trumped it.

The player was apparently very keen to join Everton and had even begun searching for houses in the area.

"I have already said there will be no players sold at Everton and I do not feel I need to say any more"
"The board have never sold a player from me, it will only be at my discretion.
