Stoke Spurs Preview – Tottenham reunited with Charlie Adam

Stoke Spurs Preview - Charlie Adam Fouls

Spurs travel to the Britannia Stadium this Saturday for a Premier League meeting with Stoke City. Tim Sherwood will be looking to build on last weeks win at Fulham, a decent result but an unconvincing performance. With persistent rumours Continue reading

6 Talking points from West Brom Spurs

Thoughts on West Brom Spurs

 

  • 1. Slow starts are becoming a bad habit

Starting slowly has become a feature of Sherwood’s reign at White Hart Lane. Tottenham have conceded the first goal in our last 8 games. Our aggregate score for the first 15 minutes in Premier League matches this season is a staggering Continue reading

West Brom 3 Spurs 3 – No glory in this comeback

Kane Scores for Spurs against West Brom

 

A comeback but still a poor result. Superficially this was similar to Tottenham’s excellent fight back against Southampton, in reality it was a world away. Southampton are a good team, West Bromwich Albion clearly aren’t.

Spurs Sunderland Preview

 

Last week Spurs were at table toppers Liverpool, this Monday sees us host bottom of the division Sunderland. This begins a run-in of six very winnable games. If Tottenham could have stayed within striking distance of fourth place, we would have given ourselves a great chance. As it is, we’re left wondering what Continue reading
