All’s well that ends…
...well. This Europa League group stage has been a bit touch and go over the six games for Spurs, right through to 15 minutes from the end of the final game at home to Panathinaikos last night. ...read this Blog post →
I don’t know how long AVB can go on…
...at this rate. Three wins in a week, 9 points from 9, eight goals for just two against. Surely 'Arry would have done better than this. It can't carry on, we shouldn't allow it to carry on. ...read this Blog post →
Spurs getting away with it…
...a bit. Taking enough chances when they came and hanging on to a lead to see it out for the victory. Doesn't make for pleasant viewing until after the final whistle. ...read this Blog post →
Are the pieces finally falling into…
...place? Yes it was only the vile scum of West Ham but with the likes of Lloris, Dawson and Dempsey playing and playing well it was probably the best home game of the season so far. ...read this Blog post →
One man show in…
...Rome. On another rather tedious Europa League night, one man stood out above the mediocrity surrounding him, even if he had a few dodgy moments of his own. ...read this Blog post →
It was the inevitability of it all, that…
...was the killer. From the moment Spurs took the lead, against Man City, it felt like it would be a 70 minute hanging on job and this being Spurs, not a successful one. ...read this Blog post →
Should Spurs get more Chelsea ‘erberts to tell…
...the fans what they can and cannot say? It seems to work, gives the crowd a lift which in turn gives the team a lift for the home game against Maribor in the Europa League. ...read this Blog post →
Andre Villas-Boas is the easy target for the media…
…and those at the Lane are helping them out. There’s plenty to blame for Spurs’ latest poor performance at home and yes you can say the manager played his part but those on and off the pitch contributed more… or should that be less. Those in all lilywhite – now there’s a main problem, those [...] ...read this Blog post →
The Hotspur Halloween Horror…
...Show. Cruising to the quarter final of the League Cup with seven minutes remaining Spurs manage to lose to Norwich while missing a penalty. ...read this Blog post →
The game has two halves and lasts 90 minutes…
...will someone please tell Spurs. Away to Southampton, Spurs were at it again. A one half performance leading to hanging on at the end and being grateful to come away with the victory and three points. ...read this Blog post →
AVB’s bought into it, the fans have bought into it but…
...have the players? We know Andre Villas Boas' affinity with the Europa League, it's part of what got him noticed, and we know the fans want to see a Spurs' captain lifting a trophy at the end of a campaign but are the players bothered? They don't look it. ...read this Blog post →

Individual errors and games of two…
…halves. Optimism in the face of playing the league leaders lasted as long as we though Dembele and Bale’s names would be on the team sheet. Once they were omitted for separate reasons – for Bale I’m reminded of the beginning of David Lee Roth’s “Yankee Rose” video (right) in the grocery shop where the [...] ...read this Blog post →
The media bitch because AVB does what…
...they were bitching about him not doing. With Spurs on a winning run, one of their best starts to a Premier League season, the Old Trafford hoodoo done and dusted and the players themselves talking about how happy they are the media are scrambling for something to have a go at Andre Villas-Boas with. ...read this Blog post →
Spurs are the ultimate chameleon…

The loathing and animosity was just coursing…
...through Spurs. You could visible see all the hatred the Spurs' players feel for Andre Villas-Boas during the 90 minutes, plus “insulting” time added on, at Old Trafford on Saturday evening. ...read this Blog post →
