as of late, while surfing around the blogosphere — or whatever it’s refered to these days — i’ve tried to ignore a lot of the barcelona hype-mongering that has been pervasive in the press the last few years. part of that is logically due to my long following of their bitter rivals in the spanish capital, but […]

kind words for the king
when the king of the kop rode back into liverpool on what i’m guessing was a red stallion, he was literally hailed as the knight in shining armor here to save the day of the liverpool faithful. he was the only man who could save the club from its impending doom. it all felt like […]
transfer madness
let’s begin this by saying that i will not be making this post an up-to-the-minute, one-stop-shop, complete directory for all of the transfers and rumors that will be spilling out of the media outlets today. this is still a one man show, and i certainly don’t have the patience or the fortitude to undertake that […]
ghosts of players past
Ask any Yiddo you come across what they think Spurs are lacking most this season, and I’d be willing to wager that more than three quarters would reply that a No.9 would be at the top of their priority list. Sure, a quick look at the squad list shows four international strikers in Defoe, Crouch, […]
ten words or less #14
It’s been a fun weekend thanks to the FA Cup, with the world’s oldest football knockout tournament providing a steady stream of great results and entertaining matches (unless you count the drab affair between Man United and Liverpool… snoozefest). If you’re like me, you’re still trying to digest everything that happened this weekend and don’t […]
the right man for the job
Landing a management position in big-time, professional football has to be such a bipolar experience. On one hand, I would have to imagine you would probably be ecstatic to have landed a high profile job. The prestige, the perks, the chance to compete with and against the best of the best, knowing that you’ve reached the pinnacle […]
all the money in the world, but what to spend it on
despite the claims of many, and even myself from time to time, spurs are not yet a “big club.” as difficult of a statement as that is to admit, it’s unfortunately not that hard of a statement to back up. sure, they’re sitting in 4th in the table at the halfway line, a position many thought […]
five things i hate about mark clattenburg
Before I get into this, I just want to say that I know Tottenham were probably going to lose the game against Manchester United. Regardless of who you are, if you’re down a goal, away at Old Trafford, and in the 83rd minute, you’re probably not going to win. The incident I’m about to talk […]
inside the mind of a footballer
Nobody should want to be inside the mind of a footballer, you hear me?. In all likelihood, most players’ minds are sick, dark and twisted places. Or maybe you would: who knows what type of freak you are. I’d imagine stepping inside Ashley Cole’s mind would be equivalent to stepping into the Moonlite Bunny Ranch in […]
the dangers of demand
i don’t know about the rest of you, but my fantasy team is taking a beating this season. it’s like any semblance of any football understanding has vacated my brain, rendering the equivalent of this type of soccer fan. i just can’t figure it out this year, and it’s infuriating. in fact, unless you can […]
