Redknapp sets sights on high profile wing wizard.

Spurs and Portsmouth both want to sign Marseille's Hatem Ben Arfa who has fallen out with Didier Deschamps and his shiny black leather jacket. Ben Arfa has accused Deschamps of "breaking his balls".

The slight air of unreality surrounding our season so far was further compounded by the sight of Jermaine Jenas and Tom Huddlestone in an England midfield, baking under a Middle Eastern sun as the whiplash gales destroyed my garden fence.

Back to some real football this weekend with the return of the Premiership and the arrival of Wigan at White Hart Lane. It's just a shame we have to wait till Sunday! I'll be at the O2 for the tennis unfortunately, but I'm hopeful of arriving home to a positive result and lots of goals.

It's another one of those games that on paper, you'd fully expect Tottenham to win.

I read the Sun's article on Huntelaar rejecting a move to Spurs and thought; 'hold on a second, who said we wanted you?'
Fair enough, Harry was interested in the summer, but that all changed when Crouch was signed. Milan took the punt on him, spending €15 million (£13 million or so). Oh how they wish they hadn't. Click to continue reading...

One win in nine games isn't great but you don't turn into a bad manager overnight. Click to continue reading...

I came across Brian Reade's article in the Mirror and couldn't help but ask why he wrote such a Pro-Pavlyuchenko piece?
It's as though Roman has made a new friend in Reade, or there's some other fascination not worth thinking about. Either way, Reade did make some valid points about our Russian striker. Click to continue reading...
