Everyone has heard the rumours about Andre Villas-Boas, and his link to White Hart Lane. After reading a few forums, I have noticed that the general view is that he is either too young or not good enough for the Yid Army. Sure, his reign at Stamford Bridge wasn’t the best, but should we really […]
The Spanish Press are reporting that it’s a done deal. So is it a good deal? Now, like everybody who has never played the beautiful game professionally, I know nothing about football (according to Tim Sherwood), so I won’t nail my colours to AVB’s mast; maybe he got it wrong at Chelski because of the […]

Long before the talk of AVB, Blanc and Moyes, whilst Harry Redknapp was still our self-serving leader, I wrote about the players on the fringes of the Tottenham squad – Tottenham and the Missing £40M – and how they may, finally, be moved on this summer.
