Even though we’ve exited the hectic Christmas/New Year’s schedule that normally bombards us with more soccer than we can stomach, the last few days have been ridiculously busy in the world of the beautiful game. Of course we still had a normal round of weekend fixtures around Europe to deal with. The opening of the […]

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 […]
this is silly season
Whether you’ve noticed or not, I’ve made a concerted effort this summer not to litter the blog with posts about transfer speculation, in particular as it pertains to Tottenham Hotspur Football Club. Part of my reason for that is to try to avoid boring my non-Spurs-supprorting readers with endless ranting and sobbing about our inactivity […]
risk and reward
Looking at the latest Premier League Form Guide, I should feel really good about Tottenham’s season thus far. Monday’s 2-0 victory over Villa was Spurs’ eighth in their last nine — the only blip being the 2-2 draw against high-flying Newcastle back in October — with only Manchester City performing better during the same spell. […]
panic attack
I’m not having a panic attack. I swear… I think. Maybe I am having one. Well, wait… no I’m probably not having a panic attack. But with just a few days remaining until the Spurs’ delayed official start to the Premier League’s 2011-2012 season, Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy is officially making me lose sleep. I know that […]
trouble in the city
As we broach the halfway point of the summer signing period, it’s fair to say that the transfer docket has been a busy one already. Big money moves by the traditional powers across Europe have been popping up on the news radar since the days immediately following the close of last season: Bayern Munich finally […]
the inevitable is there
“they’ve done well, but the inevitable is there,” said ray wilkins during his commentary towards the end of last night’s game. and while the former chelsea first team coach’s words were a generous yet accurate assessment of spurs’ performance, the sting was still there. we all knew it would end this way. thank god for ray, […]
my own personal clásico
I’ve been waiting to write this article for over two whole weeks, ever since the Champions League quarter-final draw. And while there’s no doubt that it gave us some very tantalizing match-ups, there was only one that I was really going to care about. The match up? My own, personal Clásico: Tottenham Hotspur FC versus Real Madrid […]
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 […]
the missing
it’s the game’s biggest stage, and that stage features the world’s biggest stars. well, most of them anyway. every four year’s, hundreds of millions of adoring fans to watch the brightest stars of football shine during the world cup. unfortunately, some of those star names don’t get the final invite to the the big ball […]
