The game nobody wanted, turned out
..not bad after all. Away trip in the League Cup in between league and European games could have seen Spurs slack off but 4-0 victory over Aston Villa was the response. read the rest of this rubbish
Comfortably numb
Europa League tour. Spurs at it again, a sort of lacklustre dropping down to the oppositions level as they put three past Tromso in the opening Europa League group game. read the rest of this rubbish
It could have been
