Huge Desires

THBN - Tottenham Hotspur Blog News 18 November @ 05:07 AM EST
I thought Daniel Levy was the Tottenham Hotspur Chairman? I was mistaken. It now seems that Mr. Pavlyuchenko is the Chairman of the Board.
"I am prepared to accept any decent offer from Russia", said our new Chairman.
Coming back to reality; it looks as though our Cameron Diaz lookalike is so eager to leave us, he's bypassed all forms of control at White Hart Lane. Click to continue reading...

If its not prefect it can be improved

Spurs musings from JimmyG2 14 November @ 10:26 AM EST
(Article published on Spurs Community)Let me start by paying my respects to Harry for all he has done for us and to Robbie Keane for the fine player that he is and his contribution to the club over seven years, off and on. Secondly I am happy with the position we are in and certainly prefer it to last season. Click to continue reading...

Arsenal 3-0 Tottenham: Reliant Robin earns his Spurs

The Goon Blog - an Arsenal blog. 02 November @ 02:29 AM EST

It looks like we have shut the Spuds up for another few months then with a performance that left even the most hardy Spurs fans noting that they had some way to go to catch up with us.

I had a very good feeling before the game, a feeling I hadn't had since that 5-1 beating we took. Maybe it was confidence or just a sign of what was to come, whatever it was I liked it and enjoyed every second of this North London Derby.

Spurs back to the drawing board. Player analysis and ratings

Arsenal Analysis 01 November @ 03:13 PM EST
By 1970's GoonerGranted Spurs were missing pace up front with the absence of Lennon and Defoe but I still think that we would have still run out easy winners in the end. They were facing two major problems. One was their inability to gain control of the midfield areas with Huddlestone, Palacios and Jenas unable to counter Song, Diaby and Fabregas.

Arsenal exploit the channels and put Tottenham in a flap

The Arsenal Column 01 November @ 07:39 AM EST

Arsenal's use of the whole pitch created space and angles to open up the Spurs defence as two goals inside a minute set-up a comfortable win.
_______________________________________________________________________________

A period of forty-nine seconds in the first half typified what Arsenal are about this season as Arséne Wenger's Catalan-inspired reinvention has given the Gunners an explosiveness and unpredictability that was beginning to seep away from the side.

Spurs trash talk ridiculed in 11 seconds & Why our fans should take a bow

Gunners Today 01 November @ 07:00 AM EST

Hello to all of you reading this on a Sunday or Monday or maybe even 3 years time when you are caught reminiscing about this game making it 20 games unbeaten against Spurs.

Like the title says, 11 seconds, that is all it took for Spurs to crumble and fall to the knees (literally when Cesc went past half of the Spurs team for his goal).

Little Trouble in Big London – NLD I As It Happened

pavlyuchenko's vodka bottle 31 October @ 09:50 AM EST

dig, dig, dig.

Good afternoon everybody! I thought it would be a good opportunity to do another live match report as this is naturally such an important match. The big news to start off with is that we're playing in a 4-3-3 again with an attacking trident of Bentley, Crouch and Keano.

Injuries and Suspensions

Fantasy EPL 30 October @ 11:19 AM EST
Premier League Team News - Barclays Premier League - ESPN SoccernetSo, what to make of the return of David Bentley - will he finally fit into what Spurs do? Will he be the same unmitigated disaster that made him one of the worst transfer buys of the last 5 years? Will he even start? Or is 'arry just using this as a smoke screen while planning to start Jenas, Kranj, Palacios, and THud in some Click to continue reading...

Don't blame Lennon

THBN - Tottenham Hotspur Blog News 26 October @ 04:08 AM EST
Right then, where do I start? I was at the game and those following my tweets could see that bent frustration I and all those around me felt.
I thought the long walk back to the car after seeing us lose was bad enough; how mistaken I was. We had to endure Harry telling us that he was a bit miffed with Aaron Lennon because he came off without telling anyone. Click to continue reading...

DC Out Of Champions League

USSoccerPlayers 22 October @ 10:15 PM EST
DC United exited the CONCACAF Champions League on Wednesday night. United needed San Juan Jabloteh to beat Marathon. Instead, Marathon finished in second-place in Group B with a 4-2 win over Jabloteh. Jerry Palacios had a second-half hat-trick for Marathon. Click to continue reading...

Up Pompey

Spurs musings from JimmyG2 19 October @ 01:46 PM EST
With more sub-plots than an Agatha Christie murder mystery we survived a hectic game at Portsmouth to emerge with all three points. Harry despite press rumours escaped the ordeal intact and only two of the six players with Tottenham connections were sent off. Man.City failing to win at Wigan means that we maintain our third place for another week, the first time we have been in such a position Click to continue reading...

Portsmouth 1-2 Spurs: Complicating the Uncomplicated

All Action, No Plot 18 October @ 10:24 AM EST

Not so much a game of two halves as a game of two thirds and a third third. We seemed to be cruising serenely after an hour or so – but then that wouldn't be the Tottenham way, would it? Cue a wild thump of the self-destruct button, the halving of our lead and a daft sending off. The three points were eventually achieved in slightly nerve-jangling, harum-scarum style.

Defoe-a-Go-Go and the Player Ratings.

pavlyuchenko's vodka bottle 17 October @ 12:23 PM EST

just walk away...

Why did you do it Jermain!? If there is anything that is going to make you look like a liability to Capello; it would be getting carried away in the heat of the moment and making a rash move; such as the one that saw you leave the pitch; and our beloved team in a whole load of trouble this afternoon.

Romp at Pompey

futuresight: harry does a maradona...

Apologies for my absence in these recent days; been quite busy with some other commitments; though the guilt of leaving my beloved Spurs in the lurch as we found a drop in form; In some ways I feel partly responsible. For the most part though; if you haven't got anything nice to say best not to say anything at all right?

Wilson Palacios will miss Spurs’ match at Portsmouth because he is under government orders to PARTAAAY!

Off the Post 16 October @ 04:31 AM EST
Mr Palacios, a message for you from the Ministry of Fun Tottenham will face Portsmouth without midfielder Wilson Palacios this weekend because he has stayed in his native Honduras to party. We know that Latin American footballer returning late from international duty after bender is like so totally a cliché, but this story has a twist. Click to continue reading...

Del chorrillano y la Argentina…

Fútbol México 13 October @ 12:59 PM EST

Argentina se juega su clasificación al mundial en la última fecha, para su mala fortuna no está jugando su mejor futbol, además se enfrentan a Uruguay y de visitantes. Se ve muy complicado que argentina llegue a Sudáfrica 2010

Argentina todavía pelea un boleto porque Martin Palermo le salvo el orto a Maradona en el último minuto (ayuda arbitral incluida) en un partido que como locales ante la peor selección de Sudamérica no pudieron finiquitar, más triste aun son las declaraciones del chorrillano palacios, quien dice que Mascherano y otros les pedían bajar los brazos y dejar de buscar el empate que a la postre conseguirían sobre el minuto 90.

The Imaginarium of Doctor Palacios

THBN - Tottenham Hotspur Blog News 13 October @ 06:30 AM EST
Since Harry brought Sgt. Wilson to the club, nearly all of us have been singing his praises. I say 'nearly' as there are some that don't quite get why the rest of us think the world of Palacios.
Unfortunately, in recent weeks, I think we've seen the worst of our tough-tackling Honduran. There's no doubt that he's suffering from a lack of form. Click to continue reading...

The story that just won't go away

THBN - Tottenham Hotspur Blog News 07 October @ 05:53 AM EST
Sulley Muntari's agent, Frank Schreier, said that both Inter and Spurs are in talks. I'll tell you what, this is one deal that I'd be over the moon at.
Harry has said a few times that we lack bite and he's not wrong. We saw what happened in the Manchester United, Chelsea and Bolton games. Click to continue reading...

Bullies, Bolton and Bollocks

Spurs musings from JimmyG2 02 October @ 05:19 AM EST
'Tottenham tend to bully teams lower in the table' says Lawro. Well that's all right then because we play Bolton, who are below us in the table, on Saturday and it should be an interesting spectacle if he's correct. For 'bully' read 'out play, out pace, out pass, and out score' the other teams but never mind O pundit wise we know what you mean. Click to continue reading...

ARGENTINA VA A SALIR CAMPEÓN

TREMENDAMENTE MOTIVADOS 25 September @ 06:47 PM EST
El día que se vayan todas las gallinas putas de la selección.
Pero volvieron. Se le quemaron los papeles a la selección bostera, con los Riquelme, los Gago, los Palacios, los Maradona y los Basile llegamos a donde llegamos.
Pero la rueda de auxilio estaba al alcance de la mano, convocaron a Higuaín y Aimar para que se conviertan en el alma del ataque de la selección. Click to continue reading...

Getting to know: CD Marathon

Behind the Badge 22 September @ 02:11 PM EST
United will face Honduras' Marathon in a very important Champions League match. After earning its first win in the tournament vs. San Juan Jabloteh last week, United would tie Marathon in the standings with a win on Thursday. This is what Group B currently looks like: Toluca (Mexico) 3-0-0, 9 pts. Click to continue reading...

Chelsea 3-0 Spurs: Let The Howard Webb Love-In Begin…

All Action, No Plot 21 September @ 08:06 AM EST

And it had all begun quite encouragingly. Sitting back away from home and soaking up the pressure just isn't the Tottenham way, so right from the off we took the game to that lot, giving as good as we got in the first half. Jenas, Hudd and Palacios weren't far off with their long-range efforts, and there was a gorgeous through-ball from Sergeant Wilson to free up Defoe in the early stages.

What Happened As It Happened. Chelsea vs. Spurs.

pavlyuchenko's vodka bottle 20 September @ 12:06 PM EST

where am i? what year is it? who's the president?

Because I'm going to work tonight; this post will be a little different. More of a as it happens match report; could work amazingly, maybe not.

0 Looks like we're playing a 4-3-3, Jenas, Huddlestone and Palacios in the midfield trio and Lennon Keane and Defoe upfront.

Chelsea vs. Spurs - Your Predictions

THBN - Tottenham Hotspur Blog News 20 September @ 08:46 AM EST
Everyone I know has already written us off in this one. Chelsea are looking strong at the moment, really strong. As Harry said, they've got players in their squad that can bully us and as far as I'm concerned, I can see it coming down to how we marshal Drogba and Anelka.
If we let them out-power us, then it could be a rout. Click to continue reading...

Wise Wilson & Spurs’ Young Stars

pavlyuchenko's vodka bottle 17 September @ 02:33 PM EST
WILSON!!!!(?)

Harry Redknapp knows it; and it's safe to say that we all know it too. Wilson is arguably more central to the success of our side that Luka Modric. Whilst this might seem a hefty claim to make as Palacios is somewhat of a departure from the lofty expectations of flair and guile that legendary players at our club are known for.

Meanwhile

Spurs musings from JimmyG2 07 September @ 03:15 PM EST
There's no football.Time to take stock and indulge the missis, make of that whatever you like but it usually involves Morrison's these days. I was going to follow the cricket or the tennis but it seems we are being thrashed by the Australians in the first and there is not one English player in the top 100 in the second so perhaps I won't bother.

CONMEBOL Week 15 Review- pt.2

Mad About Fútbol 06 September @ 11:03 PM EST
Colombia were in dire straits and things got only worse when Fabian Vargas suffered the ghastliest injury this side of Eduardo. Pablo Palacios came in to challenge the Almería man, and even though it did not have the intentions that came behind the challenge that injured the Arsenal man. Click to continue reading...

The odd one out

THBN - Tottenham Hotspur Blog News 02 September @ 12:53 PM EST
Peace and quiet at last. The transfer window has been closed and we'll be without proper football until September 12th. It's like pre-season all over again.

All, at the moment, seems well at our great club. Harry's brought in Niko for a snip and we've not had a mass exodus of players.

I'm not sure how close Bentley was to moving up north, but I'm fairly pleased that he's stuck around.

From the worst to the best

White Hart Pain 02 September @ 09:25 AM EST

As our currently absent Miss Spur alluded to some time ago, Niko Kranjcar finally completed his move to Spurs yesterday. It's a Croatian to replace a Croatian by the looks of things after Luka Modric picked up a significant injury at the weekend.

After being linked with a number of targets on deadline day, some good and some worryingly bad, we ended up with just the one signing and probably the best of the bunch at that.

Is it Tottenham’s Year?

FOOTBALLSUP 26 August @ 04:52 AM EST

No. No it's not.

There is just no way Spurs will last the pace. They have been cut from 200/1 to 30/1 after an impressive start - that's a huge over-reaction from the bookies. They will be the Villa of last season, a bright start fading away at Christmas as teams get wise to them and fatigue sets in.

¿Que pasa con los Pumas?

Futbol Mexicano 25 August @ 12:36 PM EST

Cinco derrotas consecutivas se dice fácil pero es un récord para un campeón del Futbol Mexicano en inicio de temporada.

Sabemos que el sistema de competencia de nuestro futbol es tan defectuoso que permite a equipos que inician muy mal se recuperen al final y logren pasar a la liguilla, pero lo que esta pasando con los Pumas de la UNAM es algo que no le debe pasar a un equipo grande.
