Reader poll: Podolski, Cavenaghi, or Defoe?

Jan 3rd, 2009 | Source: Tottenham Offside | Category: Latest Tottenham blogs

It’s no secret that our Spurs side has been looking at bolstering our striking options, as currently Bent, Pavs, and Campbell are our only strikers. Giovani Dos Santos can also play wide forward, but is currently just recovering from an injury. Hopefully he can impress Harry as it’d be nice to add another name to [...]



Spurs 3 - Wigan 1…

Jan 2nd, 2009 | Source: Tottenham Offside | Category: Latest Tottenham blogs

Tonight saw Tottenham go head to head with Steve Bruce’s side in a 3rd round FA cup tie. White Hart Lane seemed to be buzzing as it was a start to a new year and hopefully a fresh start for our team. Thankfully enough, it was. As a 2 goal lead saw Harry Redknapp’s men [...]



Tottenham in 2009…

Jan 1st, 2009 | Source: Tottenham Offside | Category: Latest Tottenham blogs

So a new year has come and hopefully this will lead to a fresh start for our beloved Spurs side, who sadly have been having a bit of bad luck as 2008 came to an end. I’m confident that with a new year coming(and hopefully some new signings) many goals and well deserved points will [...]



We might need to sign some more rubbish

Dec 29th, 2008 | Source: White Hart Pane | Category: Latest Tottenham blogs

Downing, Bellamy, Parker. These names fill me with dread but at the same time they could be a necessary evil. Harry’s honeymoon period is well and truly over. Our strikers are shit. Our midfield is shit. Our defence is OK.The build the team round a little Croatian tactic was a good idea, but doesn’t work if your strikers aren’t intelligent enough to play with him. I know he’s small but I’d quite like to see two up top with Modric in the middle alongside Huddlestone. We would be lightweight but it doesn’t matter because at the moment, we aren’t making any chances whatsoever.Harry’s forte is signing decent players on the cheap, how refreshing that would be to see as a Spurs fan. Bentley, Pavlyuchenko, Bent, Boateng are just the tip of the iceberg. It makes me physically sick to think how much these players cost, especially when you think of the decent players that have walked out the door.Our dilemma now is do we sign some equally average players in the hope that they keep us in the league? I personally still feel Harry can get enough out of what he already has to keep us up but we can’t afford to take any chances. Seeing Stuart Downing arrive for 14m+ would likely give me a stroke but it could all be worth it as long as we aren’t playing in the Championship next season.



Baggies 2 - Spurs 0…

Dec 28th, 2008 | Source: Tottenham Offside | Category: Latest Tottenham blogs

Just about everything that could have gone wrong went wrong today as Tottenham went to WBA. With Luka Modric and Darren Bent both going down within the first 5 minutes I figured that we were gonna be in for a bumpy ride… Low and behold, I was right.

Now I’m going to make this review [...]



Spurs vs. Cottagers 0-0…

Dec 26th, 2008 | Source: Tottenham Offside | Category: Latest Tottenham blogs

Although this year may have brought me a lucrative raiding of holiday bird and presents, There was one thing that I asked Santa for that was missing this Christmas. That being the assurance of 3 points at home vs. Fulham(who’s away form isn’t exactly stunning). Alas I suppose metaphorically speaking I asked for an Xbox [...]



Tottenham v Fulham - Pain Preview

Dec 25th, 2008 | Source: White Hart Pane | Category: Latest Tottenham blogs

Merry Christmas everyone. I got a cracking present from the Mrs, the new Spurs Player by Player book, signed for me by one Ricky Villa!I quite fancy us to get a result tomorrow, Hodgson has Fulham playing as a solid unit but I think they will come unstuck soon and it’s more likely to happen away from Craven Cottage. Their home form was always good, there was just a blip under Sanchez. They are yet to win away this season.Team NewsSpurs could be struggling at the back with both Woodgate and King facing late fitness tests. Darren Bent and Jermaine Jenas should be back.Fulham are without Zoltan Gera.Current FormSpurs have won 5 of the last 10 league games but went down 2-1 at the hands of Newcastle on Sunday.Fulham are on their best run of form for some time but they are yet to win away from home this season.Head To HeadFulham have only ever won twice at the Lane in 29 attempts. If they were to win, it would be only the 2nd time in their history they have completed a league double over Tottenham.Other points to noteTottenham have won their last 4 Boxing Day fixtures, Fulham are 0 form 4.ConclusionFulham are managing to go lockdown for 0-0 away from home but there is only so long they can use these tactics and not score before they come unstuck. I fancy Luka Modric to pick them apart tomorrow and Spurs to run out comfortable winners.Best BetsLuka Modric 1st Goal Scorer @ 10/1 with BetfredTottenham to win 3-1 @ 14/1 with BlueSq



All The Spurs Thats Fit to Print, 12/23

Dec 23rd, 2008 | Source: Tottenham Offside | Category: Latest Tottenham blogs

Sorry Max J, stole your title on that one. Just thought I’d carry on the legacy of random news stories about Tottenham and anything and everything related.

As I sit snowed in at my house i find myself with nothing better to do than watch Boca Juniors play Tigre, and falling victim to all the transfer [...]



Newcastle 2 - Spurs 1…

Dec 21st, 2008 | Source: Tottenham Offside | Category: Latest Tottenham blogs

I’m so livid i can’t even begin to explain my anger…

Our visit to the north seemed a pretty even match up prior to kick off, which proved to be the truth throughout the game. Possession was even all over the pitch with both sides countering on the break so often that it was like watching [...]



And on to 32…

Dec 19th, 2008 | Source: Tottenham Offside | Category: Latest Tottenham blogs

The Uefa cup draw today announced that we will face Shakhtar Donetsk in the round of 32. The Ukrainian side battled hard in their Champions League run, so much so that they were able to take 9 points in the group that included Barcelona, Sporting Lisbon, and FC Basel. With the likes of those teams [...]
