Brad Friedel joins Spurs

Stevio — Fri, 03 Jun 2011 15:32:35 +0000

Something certain of late is how unpredictable and perhaps even incomprehensible Spurs signings have been of late. In January we were screaming out for a new striker, did we get one? No. We instead bought a midfielder in Steven Pienaar, who you have to say wasn’t really needed. Today has seen us sign Aston Villa’s [...]

From Wolves to the Rossoneri

Stevio — Wed, 09 Mar 2011 16:02:05 +0000

Not long to go before tonight’s big match at the Lane. AC Milan are coming hoping to overturn their 1st leg defeat. We’re 1-0 up thanks to Peter Crouch’s goal at the San Siro, but even still, it’s only a slender lead, therefore it certainly is all to play for. Throughout our Champions’ League campaign [...]

Redknapp on Bale return

Stevio — Fri, 04 Mar 2011 07:33:47 +0000

I think most Spurs fan, including myself, are eager for Gareth Bale to return to fitness following his back injury. It does seem one day reports say Bale won’t make the AC Milan game, then next day they say he might just make it after all. I guess we just have to keep our fingers [...]

Alan Hutton is alive!

After appearing in Scotland’s 3-0 win over Northern Ireland on February 9th, one could have thought Alan Hutton had been abducted by aliens by his sudden disappearance. Thankfully today though, there is word of his existence on planet earth. Spurs manager Harry Redknapp revealed: “Alan had a groin strain, but he’s fit now. I changed [...]

Spurs manager on Charlie Adam

Stevio — Sat, 26 Feb 2011 04:59:49 +0000

Harry Redknapp has named Blackpool’s Charlie Adam as his ‘bronze medal winner in the Professional Footballers’ Association awards. Got to say the midfielder has impressed, his passing is at times sublime, not to mention his free-kick skills. He can take a penalty too, as we know. It’s a pity we didn’t sign him in January, [...]

Redknapp hopeful on Bale return

Stevio — Fri, 25 Feb 2011 06:13:34 +0000

Spurs manager Harry Redknapp is hoping Gareth Bale will be fit to take on AC Milan when they come to White Hart Lane on March 9th. The 21-year-old hasn’t played since January 22nd when he had to leave the field at Newcastle with a back injury. Redknapp, who is at a training camp with the [...]

Blackpool 3-1 Tottenham Hotspur

Stevio — Fri, 25 Feb 2011 05:59:29 +0000

Well I said there would be goals, and there sure were, sadly mostly for Blackpool. The game was one of those where after it finishes you’re baffled by how your team could lose it. Spurs were for the biggest part of the match in charge but Sebastien Bassong gives away a unnecessary penalty and we’re [...]

Blackpool v Tottenham Hotspur preview

Stevio — Tue, 22 Feb 2011 09:49:37 +0000

Tonight Spurs travel to Blackpool, question is, will it be a ‘pleasure’ of will be a, erm, ‘beach’. Spurs haven’t visited Bloomfield Road since an FA Cup tie in January 1991. We were 1-0 winners that day thanks to a Paul Stewart goal. Blackpool have done great since being promoted to the Premiership last season, [...]

Gattuso ban not enough!

Stevio — Tue, 22 Feb 2011 08:17:14 +0000

AC Milan’s Gennaro Gattuso got just a four-match ban for his ‘attacks’ on Spurs coach Joe Jordan. The Italian midfielder grabbed the Scot by the throat and after the game headbutted him. It’s a disgrace that UEFA only gave Gattuso a four-match ban, it should have been at least double!

Luka Modric to Manchester United?

Stevio — Mon, 21 Feb 2011 01:57:40 +0000

It always seems to happen these days that Spurs has a good result and the following weekend a newspaper will print that one of our players is wanted by one of the ‘big clubs’. Sunday saw the News of the World report that Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson wants Luka Modric to replace Paul [...]
