Knee deep in the Euros and quite frankly …enjoying it. I was chatting to a fellow Tottingham pal of mine late last night and we both arrived at the same conclusion. What really matters the most about this tournament is Scott Parker. Parker is quite possibly the key to next season. If we ride our luck, then the season after that too. When he was on our radar I was as guilty as anyone wondering why one earth we were even considering him. After only a few appearances I was wondering where he’d been all my life. The answer is…

Good evening. Talk about feast of famine. Nothing for days and now this. Marca another Spanish outlet are saying that Luka Modric has agreed terms with The Special One at Real Madrid. The unsurprisingly quote free article cites the lack of Champions League football as an influencing factor in the move. The fee they are estimating in the region of €35M.
Good afternoon. The headline we all wanted. Well, all of us with the obvious exception of those who have already decided he’s useless. The source is ordinarily excellent, which is the Spanish edition of TuttermercatoWeb who are claiming that he has signed, but the legal obligation in his exit agreement with the blue racists whereby AVB can’t practice his famed knee bends until next month. André Villas-Boas and is Tottenham, although the official announcement is not until July. The agreement between the Portuguese and the London club is complete, the contract is signed but can not be made public until…
Good morning. Let’s kick off with the football headline of the week, ‘Tykes Sphinx Mido deal is on’ courtesy of Football365.com which heralds the imminent return to the UK of the onetime Tottenham legend. Mido was another one wasn’t he? Threatened to be the next big thing and …see what I did there? Modric’s name has been taken in vain again, the poor hen. This time on Spurs Odious with Roger Daily Mail Morgan suggesting that he’s off to Real Madrid for €38M. Is this true? Who knows? What is known is that the press were so determined to keep…
Good evening. At this stage if Andreas Villas Boas isn’t unveiled as our new supremo very very shortly I’ll be genuinely shocked. So as we mark time I thought it would be helpful to have a discussion about the man. Now I don’t mean a happy clapper fest – I mean what would you base that upon? Rather a consideration of what you feel he could bring to the party. For me he’s the right man for the job for some very simple reasons. He has a CV. You can sneer at it, but it to deny he’s of…
Good morning. Reading The Sun since Arry was vomited out of The Lane has been a bit like watching King Lear performed by wee Jimmy Krankie. Not believable and once you’ve rolled your eyes, not even funny. Arry’s pals are as subtle as brick. Apparently our gallant lads are already plotting a revolt with senior players having allegedly spoken to Chelsea players who have been warned, ‘ was a nightmare to work with and told them to steer well clear of the Portuguese coach.’ Many Tottenham players are already unhappy at Redknapp’s shock sacking last Wednesday. LM: No like Mr Harry…
Good morning. I am reliably informed from UK based source that Andres Villas Boas is to be unveiled on Monday. And Jan Vertonghen by Wednesday. If it doesn’t happen, then I must remind passengers that refunds can only be issued upon production of a valid receipt. As per yesterday’s piece the Italian press cited were pretty ‘robust’ in their claim, not suggesting rather reporting that the deal for the ex Chelsea boss was a done deal. What I find ‘amusing’ for want of better word …is that’s the disgruntled pro Arry mob who are talking in such unforgiving terms about…
Me again. Hold tight on the upper deck. Here is what there is, this time from La Gazetta dello Sport. Their web page is here. The former Chelsea manager, the Portuguese Andre Villas Boas will train again the Premier League yesterday found an agreement with Tottenham for three years, will take over from Redknapp. The Portuguese, who prematurely ended his adventure with the Blues last season, has surpassed the competition of the Wigan coach, Roberto Martinez, and will start from Spurs. Ooh my days.
Hello. This, if true is extraordinary. From a chap on Facebook in this Tottenham group you can view here. Fingers and everything else crossed, eh? Tim Sherwood will be appointed as Director of Football at White Hart Lane next week. This is a promotion from the position of academy director- This evolution has been on the cards for 18 months. Levy decided to bite the bullet last week, sticking to his original plan which had been drawn up in expectation of HR leaving to take on England and make the change largely in light of Sherwood’s outstanding work with the youths.…
