Spurs beat Liverpool 2-1

Stevio — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 13:58:56 +0000

The season has kicked off and Spurs have started well with a 2-1 home win over Liverpool. I was happy with the performance on Sunday, Liverpool had their usual amount of possession, but they looked rather toothless in attack. Even Steven Gerrard failed to provide much punch upfront. Benoit Assou-Ekotto’s first goal for the club was a [...]

Gunter joins Nottingham Forest

I was sad to hear that Chris Gunter had today had left Spurs permanently and joined Nottingham Forest. The 19-year-old right-back had shown potential in his 16 appearances for the club. Admittedly, he wasn’t too great going forward, however, defensively he showed he was more than capable. Forest have paid Spurs £1.75m for the Welsh international’s services. Hopefully [...]

Tottenham Hotspur 2009/10

Stevio — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 01:39:09 +0000

It has been quite some time since my last post, a lot has happened. The main thing is that Spurs managed to avoid relegation to remain a Premiership club. Now it’s the close season and all the talk is about transfers. So far, the only signing is an ex-Arsenal youngster called Anton Blackwood. Ricardo Rocha has [...]

Crazy, crazy, Tottenham Hotspur

Stevio — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 03:01:38 +0000

I’m just about recovered from Wednesday night. What a crazy night. Spurs were 3-0 down and headed out of the League Cup until two minutes from the end of the extra time when Pavlyuchenko and Defoe popped up to secure a 6-4 aggregate win. Now we have a final at Wembley to look forward to, with Manchester [...]

Goal difference

Stevio — Sun, 18 Jan 2009 01:48:10 +0000

With Spurs not playing until tomorrow (Sunday) we find ourselves at the foot of the Premiership, again. West Brom beat Newcastle 3-0 to go above us, while Stoke lost to Chelsea 2-1 to remain third from bottom. Amazingly if we beat Portsmouth tomorrow we’ll rise up to 12th position, that shows how crazy the league is this [...]

The good, the bad and the ugly

Stevio — Sat, 17 Jan 2009 04:01:22 +0000

It has been quite a while since my last post, since then things have improved, sadly even with a new manager installed, the results and the performances have not been good enough. With 21 league games played this season, we’ve won 5, drawn 5, and lost 11, scoring 20 and conceding 26. We’re currently third from [...]

Spurs make Redknapp approach

Stevio — Sun, 26 Oct 2008 02:09:37 +0000

Following Juande Ramos’ departure from Spurs, the club have made a move for Portsmouth manager Harry Redknapp. Spurs said in a statement: “The Club has requested permission to hold discussions with Harry Redknapp and Portsmouth FC has reluctantly agreed.” At 61 years of age, I’m not 100% sure whether Redknapp is the man to take Spurs forward, [...]

Spurs finally sack Ramos

Stevio — Sun, 26 Oct 2008 01:58:18 +0000

A few weeks too late perhaps, but finally, Spurs have sacked Juande Ramos. I think performances had been improving, but the team just lacked good fortune. Joining the Spaniard through the exit door are his assistants Gus Poyet and Marcos Alvarez. Also out is sporting director Damien Comolli, who let’s face it, hasn’t really done too [...]

Tottenham Hotspur 0-1 Hull City

Stevio — Sun, 05 Oct 2008 16:46:44 +0000

Spurs have lost to Hull City 1-0, what now? Will manager Juande Ramos do the right thing and quit? Will chairman Daniel Levy finally say enough is enough? Or, will we just carry on and pretend like we’re not bottom of the Premiership? Spurs have now played seven games in the Premiership and only got two [...]

Portsmouth 2-0 Tottenham Hotspur

Stevio — Sun, 28 Sep 2008 16:18:30 +0000

I wasn’t sure what to expect today, Portsmouth have been letting in lots of goals and Spurs have been playing poorly. Even with the mid-week League Cup win over Newcastle, where the team showed some improvement in the second half, it’s impossible to know what kind of performance Spurs will put in. Today, the performance was [...]
