Much has been made of an announcement Tottenham Hotspur Football Club made last week. No, not the announcement capture of Toby Alderweireld from Atletico Madrid, though that could prove an impact signing in the seasons to come. No, it was that other announcement that caused the biggest stir: that Tottenham had updated their new stadium designs to […]

holding pattern
In 24 matches across all competitions so far, it’s fair to say Tottenham Hotspur are having a fairly inconsistent start to their 2014/15 campaign. Need proof? Here’s what the season has looked like so far: WWWWLDDLWDDWLWLWWWLWWLDLW. Yeah, that’s pretty erratic. However if you were to read the headlines, browse fan forums or soak in the Twittersphere, you might […]
ten words or less #85
With the hectic Christmas football calendar about to kick off and the transfer window to follow shortly after, it seemed prudent to get a Ten Words or Less in so we’ll have ample room in the next one to cover the all of the upcoming commotion. But that doesn’t mean this week has been devoid […]
for what?
As I sit here basking in the post-apocalyptic glow that’s followed the long-rumored sacking of Tottenham Hotspur manager André Villas-Boas, I can’t help but ask myself one question over and over. For what? If the current state of affairs at the club is when Spurs would feel it necessary to pull the trigger, then for […]
£100 million ain’t as much as you think
I absolutely loath this topic.I don’t want to write about it. But the circumstances dictate that I must. I have to. It pains me to just think about Gareth Bale leaving Tottenham Hotspur, let alone write about it and think about it logically. Bale has been my favorite players since I unearthed him as a […]
those that shout the loudest
It’s amazing how quickly the collective mood can change. A month ago, I and my fellow Spurs supporters were ready to celebrate the club’s best season in the modern era. Tottenham were on pace for a third place finish, were arguably the favorite’s in the Europa League and we were trying not to talk about […]
false hope… hopefully not
A Tottenham signing. In January. Before deadline day. An under-21 full international player, even. Pardon me for a moment while I dislodge this tongue I just accidentally swallowed. Though he had already agreed to a pre-contract deal for summer arrival at White Hart Lane, the sight of Lewis Holtby holding up a shirt with Villas-Boas […]

Thus far, 2013 has been a whirlwind. As with most years, there’s been the expected absurdity that accompanies the holiday season to keep me busy: the annual cornucopia of fixtures, plus the ensuing avalanche of (faux-)headlines that is the January transfer window. But, unlike previous years, things have been especially crazy around the imaginary WSOTP […]

With my wife sick, this past weekend presented itself as an opportunity for a whirlwind of football viewing here at WSOTP. I’ve not kept any statistics on this kind of thing, but I can say with confidence that I watched more soccer this past weekend than I ever have before. Saturday included a marathon of […]
nowhere to look but forward
It’s an odd situation, writing about Harry Redknapp leaving his post as manager of Tottenham Hotspur Football Club. The manner in which he’s leaving the club, by sacking, was not at all the way we expected it all to go down. Really though, we Spurs supporters have been preparing ourselves for this moment ever since […]
