Last season, Tottenham were very close to securing a Champions League spot after they were 13 points ahead of arch-rivals Arsenal at one point. You could sense the white side of North London hungry for a place in the UEFA Champions League. The 10 points gap between Tottenham and Arsenal increased after the high-flying Spurs
Arsenal will head into the pivotal north London derby this Sunday preoccupied with forming a plan to stop Gareth Bale, the currently unstoppable winger who is steering Spurs towards the promised land of a top four finish. Bale’s relentless form of 8 goals in his last 5 games, including a superb match-winning double against West
Over the last 20 years, we have been privileged to see so many brilliant players and wonderful goals illuminate the Premier League, leading to a plethora of breathtaking football matches. But which of these games stand-out, leaving an ever-lasting imprint on our memories? The following is a list of my top 10 games of the
One of the more pleasing stories of this season is the developing success of Andre-Villas Boas at Tottenham upon his return to English football after a disastrous spell at Chelsea. The likeable Portuguese has been his stylish, calm and cheerful self as he has guided Spurs to fourth place after 23 games, four points behind
After two defeats in a row at home and just one victory in all competitions in the last month, Tottenham Hotspur hosted a Maribor side that also found themselves in somewhat of a rough patch; with a 100% record throughout September, the Slovenian side had only picked up two wins since the end of the
The tear-stained tissues still serve as a fresh reminder of the early retirement of a Spurs great. After Ledley King’s decision to hang-up his boots Tottenham needed a new defensive lynchpin; a new Tottenham boy to be excited about; and something to shout about in the coming season. The victory at Old Trafford against Man United, the
It’s just 9 Premier League games into Andre Villas-Boas’ reign at Tottenham and despite a shaky start, he seems to have restored faith with the Tottenham fans after 5 wins in 6 Premier League games, the most high profile being a 3-2 win at Old Trafford. But is the playing philosophy and team ethos AVB
Tottenham striker Emmanuel Adebayor is weighing up a move out of the club, less than 3 months since his £6 million move. The Togolese International is unhappy with the lack of playing time and is yet to start a game this season, managing a measly 82 minutes on the field. Adebayor found himself again on

A Tottenham transfer deadline day is very much like making love to a beautiful woman. Ok, it’s not. It’s a damn lot more exciting, though. And Tottenham are the Sky cameras’ favourite deadline day club knowing full well the amount of deals Daniel Levy likes to try and conclude. This time is was Gary Cotteril
The greatest shows in World Sport: The 100m Olympic Final; a World Cup Final and even a Rugby World Cup Final. Add the Premier League transfer deadline day to the list. Panic buying, the rapid adjustment of plans or simply pre-planned deals that owners felt were better to complete just hours before the deadline -
Two weeks in a row, Tottenham have drawn 1-1 after conceding late equalisers against arguably lesser opponents. And two weeks in a row, André Villas-Boas has started with a lone striker before adding a second after a gutless first half performance. So, with the international break soon upon us, Spurs fans will be hoping that
As there are just two days left of the transfer window, Daniel Levy is finally making his moves. Tottenham fans are used to this. The Media are used to this. Other chairmen are becoming used to it. It’s as if he sets himself a challenge of trying to do as many deals as possible in
Finally, almost eighteen-months after transfer rumours first began, Luka Modric has finalised a move away from White Hart Lane and away from a four-season spell at the North London club. In 2008, a relatively unknown, slight and fragile looking central midfielder turned up from Dinamo Zagreb with the world at his feet. At the age
This morning the transfer of Croatian midfielder Luka Modric was finally completed for a fee of 33 million pounds + extras including a very suspicious and much discussed “club partnership” clause. Being one of the most stretched out transfer sagas of the window a lot of people had started questioning if the 26-year old is
It’s taken all summer but Tottenham finally have their striker. Well, one of them if reports are to be believed. The transfer of Emmanuel Adebayor has been one the most drawn out and longest of the summer so far. But one week before the end of the transfer window, he looks likely to be in
After the unquestionable snooze fest that was World Cup 2010, I thoroughly enjoyed Euro 2012. There was much more of an attacking intent from the teams involved, but one constant remained: Spain again emerged victorious, showing the importance of creation, movement and being able to keep possession. The Spanish method, it would appear, has resonated
