Rumours of Jose Mourinho wanting to leave Real Madrid for the Premiership would mean only one thing: he is heading for Manchester. Since his famous Champions League win with Porto in 2004, Mourinho has had no desire to manage any side lacking truly world-class pedigree. For this very reason, a return to a depleted Chelsea side is not on the cards.

Venue: White Hart Lane. Date: Saturday 11th Feb, 2012. Kick-off: 5.30pm. Referee: Andre Marriner.

To be fair, Alan equally poured lavish praise on the [.

Newcastle were completely outplayed, outfought and outclassed in the game at White Hart Lane today, and were two down after only 6 minutes, and it got no better, as the Newcastle side were embarrassed and embarrassing they were that bad. This is not the first time Newcastle have collapsed and they did the same thing at Fulham when they conceded five goals during a terrible [.

This afternoon's game at White Hart Lane may be the most difficult game Newcastle have through the end of the season. Tim Krul all pressure is on Tottenham today And Tim Krul, who is one of the best goalkeepers in the Premier League this season, has said today there is no pressure on Newcastle, and it's all on Tottenham, [.

Today's game at White hart Lane is a massive game for Newcastle United. And it's not that we will be at full strength today either, since we'll be missing Yohan Cabaye through suspension, Cheick Tiote because he's still at the African Cup of Nations, and Ryan Taylor and Leon Best are both injured with [.

We expect James Perch to keep his position in central midfield alongside Danny Guthrie for today's tough game at White Hart Lane. James Perch will play alongside Danny Guthrie in midfield And that's because Yohan Cabaye serves the third game of his three match suspension for violent conduct, and Cheick Tiote will be playing for the Ivory Coast in the final of [.

It would be tempting to think that Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp had been distracted by one or two other things this week whilst preparing his 'Spurs squad for this weeks game, but that would probably be folly.

Newcastle United have won four of their last five league matches as they travel to face third place Tottenham Hotspur in the English Premier League.

It's still pretty much impossible to find any actual news other than the Redknapp for England links but it is worth just looking at some of the manager's quotes since he was first questioned on the subject.

"Of course it is nice that people put me in a position where they think I've got a chance of getting the job.

Newcastle United defender Mike Williamson is aware that Tottenham Hotspur's terrific form throughout the season indicates their prowess, particularly at White Hart Lane.

Following Monday night's goalless draw at Anfield, third-place Spurs return home and with manager Harry Redknapp cleared of tax evasion charges, the North London outfit will be completely focused on picking up all three points in Saturday's late kick-off.

Newcastle have a tough game in London on Saturday as they will go up against 3rd placed Tottenham Hotspur, who have 50 points from their 24 league games. Papiss Cisse scores first goal ever for Newcastle And Tottenham have only lost one game very early in the season at White Hart Lane, when Manchester City took them apart 5-1.

Yesterday was a tumultuos day for fans of Tottenham Hotspur. First came the news that Harry Redknapp had been cleared of charges of tax evasion and he emerged from court to a hero's welcome. Then in the evening came the news that Fabio Capello had resigned as England manager. Redknapp of course was instantly installed as the favourite to take over by fans, media and players alike.

Today's announcement at Southwark Crown Court means that Spurs manager Harry Redknapp is free to resume full duties at White Hart Lane. We are therefore unlikely to see a repeat of Monday's game at Liverpool where Harry was absent due to transport problems and it's likely that all the players will be happy to see his familiar face in the dugout.

Outside of Harry's court case, the issues surrounding John Terry and the England captaincy have been firmly in the media spotlight this week and while the attention is currently on manager Fabio Capello, two of Tottenham's England internationals could be set to profit from the affair.

Scott Parker emerged last season to command a regular place in the England side and since his move to White Hart Lane, our outstanding midfielder must surely be one of the first names on Capello's team sheet.

Some areas of the press are suggesting that it hasn't been such a stellar year for Gareth Bale in comparison with last season. Those reports tend to just point to the winger's hat trick in the San Siro but they conveniently forget that this has been a much more consistent campaign for the Welshman.

Since the transfer window came into force during the 2002-03 season, Spurs have been one of the most active clubs in terms of players arriving at and leaving White Hart Lane.

After a fairly quiet window by their standards – signing trio Yago Falque, Louis Saha and Ryan Nelsen all on free transfers, let's take a look at seven players signed for big money during the January period.

Liverpool and Tottenham: Both Clubs Fail to Dare and To Do.

Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur drew 0-0 at Anfield, in a tight Premier League encounter that neither team wanted to lose, or seemed determined enough to try and win.

Thierry Henry's return to Arsenal may last just a little longer than expected, according to manager Arsene Wenger.

The French striker has enjoyed his brief loan spell at Arsenal, netting a goal in the club's 7-1 win over the weekend.

The John Terry controversies a complete list - originally posted on Soccerlens.com

John Terry on his day is one of the best central defenders in the Premier League, and certainly an important player for Chelsea and England.

However, the 31-year-old is in danger of missing out on Euro 2012, after being stripped of his nation's captaincy due to the ongoing allegations of racism against the Barking-born man.

My first visit to White Hart Lane came in February 2001. It was an FA Cup Fifth Round tie against Stockport County. My uncle had driven up from Southampton on the morning of the game and surprised me with a ticket.

I fell in love with the stadium and the atmosphere. I loved being part of the crowd and watching Spurs easily dispose of the opposition as they won 4-0.

Poka, Pav
It has been one hell of a busy fortnight in the world of Tottenham Hotspur – and not a whisper of any of it from The Boys From White Hart Lane. For shame.
So, in a desperate attempt to catch up - and stay relevant – TBFWHL is taking a look back at 14 days in which Spurs stumbled into the fifth round of the FA Cup, re-entered the title race after a brief remission and brought in a couple of battle-hardened veterans at the expense of a cult hero.

With the return of Luis Suarez to the Liverpool on Monday night, having served his mammoth ban from football, reports are that Manager Kenny Dalglish will opt to unleash the talismatic Uraguyan striker from the bench.
Monday night's game from Anfield will see Liverpool pit their wits against 3rd-placed Spurs who are something like 12 points ahead of Liverpool in the Premier League.

February kicks off for Liverpool on Monday, with Spurs set to visit Anfield in the first match of another important month. Liverpool will look to carry their momentum from the domestic cup triumphs and a comfortable 3-0 win at Wolves into the match, which hopefully signals a turnaround from a disappointing league stretch to open 2012 that had seen them winless until the final day of January.

THFC1882 brings another new guest writer. Football blogger and Spurs fan (obviously) Anthony Lombardi previews Tottenham Hotspur's visit to Liverpool:

Liverpool v Tottenham: The Fab Four and Beyond.

This Monday Totteham Hotspur faces Liverpool at Anfield in a clash that is set to have far reaching effects across the top of the Premier League.

In a strange turn of events, Tottenham have withdrawn from this year's NextGen Series after breaking 'competition regulation'.Spurs played out a hard-fought victory over Liverpool at White Hart Lane on Wednesday before discovering afterward that they had done so illegally. Shaquile Coulthirst scored the (non-)winner, scrambling home a parried shot from close range.

Whatever your view of Spurs' deadline day transfer dealings, don't expect Kevin Bond to be reading any comments after the late captures of Louis Saha and Ryan Nelsen.

Bond did however attempt to ease any disquiet by suggesting that we should all trust Harry and the players he has brought in.

Liverpool's Raheem Sterling is building up a very positive reputation in the club's youth set-up, with Ian Rush recently describing him as 'very similar to Michael Owen'. Former Liverpool midfielder Jamie Redknapp is also a big fan of youngster, and hopes that he'll get a chance in the first team sooner rather than later.

Amidst all the loan deals away from White Hart Lane yesterday there was one permanent departure and it came in the shape of Russian striker Roman Pavlyuchenko who has departed for Lokomotiv Moscow for a fee in the region of £7.5m.

It had been an unhappy eighteen months at the Lane for Pav, punctuated by occasional match winning strikes against the likes of Birmingham last season and against Sunderland a few weeks ago, where his solitary goal could yet prove vital in the course of the season.

Wigan manager Roberto Martinez was left furious when Tottenham left-back Benoit Assou-Ekotto was allowed to remain on the pitch despite a high tackle that forced forward Franco Di Santo out of the Latics' 3-1 defeat at White Hart Lane.

With his side firmly rooted to the bottom of the Premier League table, the only positive Martinez could reflect on was the mild nature of Di Santo's injury.

Kickoff from White Hart Lane at 7:00PM GMT/2:00PM EST

Liverpool's youngsters return to NextGen Series action today, with their quarterfinal matchup with Tottenham's U19s taking place in London. The brief break in senior squad action allows for attentions to turn to a competition that, on the whole, has been a terrific advertisement for youth football on the continent.

When one of your own is in trouble, you reach out a helping hand. Despite his achievements, Harry Redknapp has never found a place in the hearts of the Spurs faithful. Last night it was more than an outstretched arm for support. No, he was firmly clasped to our bosom to feel safe and warm. We stroked his hair and soothed, "There, there.

Tottenham yesterday saw both Roman Pavlyuchenko and Steven Pienaar leave White Hart Lane for Lokomotiv Moscow and Everton respectfully. Both moves do not come as a surprise, in fact if anything, they were both overdue.

After having been linked with a move away from Tottenham for quite some time, Pavyluchenko finally made the switch to Lokomotiv for a reported £8 million.

Tottenham Hotspur 3-1 Wigan Athletic Premier League 31st January 2012

Welsh wing-wizard Gareth Bale was once again Tottenham's star performer as the north Londoners got their title tilt back on track at White Hart Lane in front of Harry Redknapp, who was back in the dug-out to watch his charges win.

Following the conclusion of a loan deal to send full-back Vedran Corluka to Bayer Leverkusen for the remainder of the season, Tottenham Hotspur are set to live up to their expectations of making significant moves at the eleventh hour.

The 25-year old Corluka's work ethic has been consistently praised by Spurs boss Harry Redknapp but the Croatia international's playing time was limited this season by the emergence of youngster Kyle Walker.

Sudan entered Monday's African Cup of Nations group finale needing a minor miracle to get through to the next round, trailing Angola by three points for second place in Group B while needing to make up a goal differential of -3 as well.

In the end, Sudan got its way.

Yesterday we looked at the possibility of new arrivals at White Hart Lane and the general consensus was that we were due for a quiet day. Later in the evening, reports suggested that Vedran Corluka was a target for Bayer Leverkusen and they seem to be gaining momentum this morning.

At the start of the month, Harry said that the Croatian would definitely not be leaving but after omitting him from the cup games where much of the fringe side appear, it may well be that Charlie is on his way.
