On Thursday night, Tottenham recorded a famous 3-1 victory to send them through to the Europa League round of 16. All had looked lost until a crazy 15 minute spell saved Spurs’ season. It was a dramatic and exhilarating turnaround.
I have to admit, I had written us off after Continue reading
After Sunday’s chastening defeat, Spurs face Dnipro on Thursday night in the Europa League round of 32. The first leg saw a disappointing 1-0 loss in Ukraine, meaning Spurs must win to make it through to the next round.
In fact they need at least a 2-0 victory to prevail without Continue reading
There’s more midweek football on Wednesday night as Spurs travel to the north east to face Newcastle. St. James’ Park hasn’t been kind to us recently, we haven’t won there since September 2008 in the League Cup when we triumphed 2-1 with goals Continue reading
While the Manchester City defeat was dispiriting, it isn’t a game we expect to win. It’s the failure to get three points from matches against teams like Hull City that really hurts our league aspirations. Games we should win.
As has happened many times this season, under AVB and Sherwood, while playing one up front or two up front, we failed to break down a stubborn defence. At the same time our backline looked extremely vulnerable to balls played behind it.
The transfer window has finally shut and attention turns back to the actual football. Spurs travel to Hull in what for us is a rare Saturday 3pm kick off.
This game sees us face former Spurs’ midfielder Tom Huddlestone who has impressed since moving to Yorkshire, it will be interesting to see how he fairs today. Jake Livermore however must sit this one out as he is on loan from Tottenham.

Disappointment and anger overwhelmed me after the game last night. Another chastening defeat, another thrashing, but this time there was indignation mixed in with disillusionment.
Things don’t look so bad in the morning. Time to reflect adds perspective. It’s just one game. Our goal difference was already shot. City are the best team in the division, maybe the world. Better sides have lost to them. Bayern Munich for one. In Bavaria. The officials made a big mistake but we were being comprehensively outplayed before that.
