As a fan of the beautiful game, there’s never been a better time than now for watching the sport we love. League games, domestic cup matches, Champions League, Europa League, international friendlies, preseason tours, World Cup qualifiers… there’s more soccer to watch than there ever has been before. We, the supporters, have an insatiable appetite for […]

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.

you have to give to take
the problem with this season and last for tottenham? they set the bar too damn high. make it to the quarterfinals of the champions league, and suddenly everyone expects you to do it again next year. such are the risks of success, i guess. despite turning in a massively entertaining –if not cardiac– first half of […]
