Tottenham Live Football


Hammer Time!

Here was something looking like a ‘business as usual’ performance from Spurs, and it is fair to say there have not been enough of these in recent months. The Redknapp revival motors on full steam ahead, and this has been enough to leave Spurs a little safer in quite possibly the tightest English Premier League to date.

Spotlight – Darren Anderton

No longer a Spurs player – indeed no longer a player at all following his retirement at the weekend, he will be remembered fondly by Spurs fans, and a certain candidate for ‘Spurs legend’. Ever the footballing gentleman, Mr Anderton bowed out most graciously on Saturday coming from the bench to score the winning goal, and earn Bournemouth a vital victory over Chester. Here is the lowdown on the man himself.

Heaven and Hell

There are two sides to every story, or so they say. And on the longest-running of the summer at Tottenham Hotspur Football Club, opinion is divided as to which is the right one to take. Yes, you have probably guessed that this article is about a certain Mr Berbatov, singing aloud the famous Clash song, “Should I Stay Or Should I Go?” Russell Smith poses the question

False Start for Spurs' Season.

As Spurs travelled to the North East for the opening game of the season, Carl Bowman makes the trip and gives his verdict on a disappointing day!

...only I have no words...

The situation – whichever aspect one chooses to look at, is both worrying and baffling. Whilst the whole thing about the squad needing time to gel is quite probably true, what those paying to watch would like to see are some signs of progress. Well? Anybody? Russell Smith poses the questions.

So far...

The club’s worst start in 34 years finally saw a win, however difficult it appeared, with the UEFA visit of Wisla Krakow. Some painful early viewing has at least showed promise, and in this manager has been placed a great deal of hope. And so the act of totally dismantling the Carling Cup 2008 winners has met with some not inconsiderable difficulty. Technically, although the players are mostly sound, is the squad up to scratch? Russell Smith considers the story so far this season for Spurs.

Sterner Stuff

The question on Spurs fans’ lips - Did last Sunday represented the real start of the season – going to arguably the hardest fixture of the season and coming out of it the happier side. Russell Smith provides an armchair review of the game against Chelsea.

Interesting Times

Part of a proverb certainly relevant to the Spurs fan, the big news was relatively predictable, the rest functional but perhaps guilty of leaving a slightly bitter aftertaste. Russell Smith reflects.

Russell Smith contemplates what might be in store for the season ahead.
