  Chalkboard For City | The ‘One-Man Team’ Edition

  By the time the single-term Champions arrive at The Lane tomorrow it’ll have been a whole ten days since our semi-tragic parp-parp-whoops exit from the Europa League. In that period, Arsenal and Everton will have played thrice and Chelsea and City on two occasions. These things rarely boil down ...

  Team Sheet For FC Basel | The ‘Championship Manager 01/02′ Edition

  Oo-er. This looks decidedly not ideal. While resident harefoots Gareth Bale and Aaron Lennon are grounded in London with unrelated but not terminal ankle and knee prangs respectively, Spurs contemplate how they might best progress from an even (but not really) tie in which Swiss side Basel hold ...

  Basel Faulty

  We did a fine job of underestimating Swiss opponents in the Champions League qualifiers back in 2010, so let me be the first to declare that we should absolutely vaporise this lot within minutes of referee’s threep. In fact, with the weather unseasonably brisk, I’m not sure why they’ve even both...

  Team Sheet For Swansea | The ‘Let’s Never Fight Again’ Edition

  Welcome back, web-slingers. I hope the trauma of Please Don’t Get Broken week hasn’t withered your spirits too much. In the name of fun it might be handy for Tottenham if Swansea took the same casual, post-cup-winning attitude to the rest of the season as King, Jenas & Co. did back in 2008. ...

  It’s Happening Again!

  The international break has arrived at an ideal time for Spurs; although break is perhaps misleading as twelve of our senior players will be dispatched across the globe this weekend to turn out for their respective Motherlands- and, judging by the performance on Sunday, what some of these chaps ...

  Can I Just Shock You? I Like The Europa League

  Having been knocked around like a woozy sot in a very one-sided bar fight- stumbling over chairs and smashing into the wall-mounted jukebox- Spurs have somehow made it into a Europa League quarter-final with FC Basel. How about that? The saloon doors are still swinging; trousers still bloodied a...

  Longwell’s Tactics Column | North London Derby Dissected

  Having ousted our North London neighbours in rather glorious fashion this weekend, Geologist/tactics whizz, Longwell, takes a comprehensive looks at how the devil this might have happened: Tottenham secured three very important points and pulled seven points clear of their North London rivals ...

  Team Sheet For Arsenal | The ‘We’ve Got a Cunning Plan’ Edition

  Not for the first time in recent memory this weekend’s North London Derby is being heralded as the Most Important North London Derby For Literally Ages. To be honest, most of them feel pretty significant these days. Ever since the Footballing Gods hauled Spurs out of their mid-nineties/early-nau...

  Team Sheet for West Ham | The Danny Dyer Edition

  West Ham at the Boleyn Ground later and after last night’s annual Luvvies Gong Show what better way to mark the occasion than by taking a look at Hammers’ fan Danny Dyer’s latest celluloid release, Run For Your Wife. Taking no less than several pounds in its opening weekend, this gripping tale o...

  Chicken Wings of Lyon | Team Sheet for OL

  Another day another supposed Euro-jolly marred by the news that some tooled-up degenerates have smashed up a bar in Lyon filled with travelling Spurs fans. While it might be wrong to speculate on the motivation for the attack, the details about the masked thickies performing yes-you-guessed-it N...

  Team Sheet for Newcastle | The ‘Where’s Ade?’ Edition

  It didn’t take long but the Just Where the Heck is Ade? carry-on has reached its zenith of absurdity. Plain, rational thought would have us believe that by the time you read this, the mislaid millionaire will have turned up; presumably now held prisoner in the Spurs gym, chained fast to an exerc...

  Damião Now Brown Cow

  So Deadline Day passed us by without major incident; instead of actually buying a new striker, Daniel Levy engineered the cunning plan to write a few names on a piece of paper, straighten his tie, then go for a nice dinner. If I’m honest it’s not the approach I would’ve gone for but the very fac...

  The Germans Are Coming! | Lewis Holtby Poses With a Tottenham Shirt

  Despair! Like the lilywhite dove flattened in a spring-loaded cage by the plotting Alfred Borden, Spurs fell quarry to some old-fashioned magic this weekend- and they were not alone. With some of the biggest names from the Planet’s Bestest League (and Liverpool) all labouring to overcome signifi...

  Talk of United, Disco Benny’s Left Foot and ‘Desperate Spurs Fans’

  Good evening and greetings from the ice bunker. If you’re suffering from an acute case of frostbite of the derriére, why not let the latest guff and tommyrot from WFRF headquarters pump some much needed warmth into your breeches. First up, a word or two on the United game. A draw is a result mo...

  Will Spurs EVER Beat United?

  Robin was sometimes allowed to do the gears Spurs haven’t beaten Manchester United since…oh wait, hang on. I’m reading last year’s notes. Zing-a-ding-ding. To be honest I’d given up putting any thought into previewing these fixtures a long time ago; some would argue that’s not necessarily ex...

  No Hard Feelings, Harry | QPR-Spurs Preview

  All eyes on self-anointed fackin’ football manager, Henry James Redknapp this weekend, as his oft abysmal QPR side are tasked with the responsibility of avenging their boss’s summer dismissal against the club who did a good deal of the dismissing. Well, all of the dismissing if we’re being hones...

  A weekend which sees progress into the 4th round of the Cup, a legitimate German Wünderkid join for next to zip and- much to the fnar-fnar-quacking of Spurs fans- a public dressing down by Alex Ferguson which can be summarised as The Nasty Chairman Stole My Pudding- I’d wager was a rather good o...

  Deep Fry Signs But Who’s Next?

  We’re having a few technical issues in the WFRF bunker at the moment and it appears to be a little more complicated than the usual someone’s-spilled-Merlot-on-the-router type scenario that your average work-a-day blogger is confronted with from time to time. Terms such as severely compromised an...

  Villa Violated as Sneijder’s Camp Say ‘No Dice’

  Merry everyone! I trust the festive period has handled you well? Upon hearing the rumours on Christmas Day that contract rebel Wesley Sneijder was about to join Spurs, the thought occurred to me that someone may have spiked the bread sauce with anti-freeze. Then the sobering but inevitable quote...

  Stoke at The Lane | Not the End of the World

  Ho, ho and indeed ho. Tottenham are up against footballing Renaissance men Stoke this afternoon; a team who if they were represented by the medium of architectural design, would be a pile of breeze blocks thrown into a dirty skip. Tony Pulis. Man’s man; man’s manager; manager’s manager. Man. Gr...

  Should Levy Back AVB in the Window?

  So, them sleigh bells are ring ting-a-tingling. Of course there’s every chance that it’s not sleigh bells at all, just the sound of Daniel Levy emptying the contents of his money sock onto Andre Villas Boas’ desk. It’s been a tough year, Andre, he says, trying to keep a straight face as a handf...

  Chalkboard for Swansea

  A decidedly tricky encounter pencilled in this weekend as Spurs take on Michael Laudrup’s Swansea at the Lane. You can’t help but be amazed by the League’s current foreign representatives. There’s something altogether decent about how they appear to operate as a football club and it doesn’t see...

Not long long like a year or anything (or even a month) just, you know, lengthy. Turn back them hands of time to last Sunday mo...

  Bore Off, Brendan: Spurs Ride Their Luck But ‘Assault’ is Stretching it

We can all strive to be better, were the words chiming in my ears this morning. A maxim that will ring tru...
