The forward, commonly referred to as “JD”, has managed 90 goals for Spurs in the Premier League during his two spells with the club. This includes a phenomenal game against Wigan Athletic in November 2009, in which Defoe put five of his own past a helpless Chris Kirkland.
The game against Newcastle summed up our season. We often have 60%+ of the ball but are failing to do the most important part in any football game, which is to put the ball in the back of the net. I know we have been great defensively, had a brilliant start after 9/10 games but […]
Heat maps, arrows and stats, overreaction, followed by under reaction. Inverted wingers, congestion and ball retention. Moving it quick, switching play, deep lying playmaker, sweeper keepers, false nines, false tens, false fans and phony wars.

“Boring, boring Tottenham Hotspur” has been the overall assessment from all corners regarding Spurs’ start to the season, and in fairness it’s hard to argue against this. While Spurs have been amongst the league leaders in terms of possession, the goal return for this dominance has been almost non-existent. The only teams to post worse scoring […]
Its a known fact that supporting Spurs is never easy. However when you look at the bigger picture, and you need to do that sometimes, are Spurs fans really having a rough time? In short, the answer is no. We all think it’s time for the cockerel to start crowing, and I am sure, just like […]
I arrived home on Thursday night after the Europa League game to FC Sheriff, suffering from a cold and exhausted but whilst I was giving the lowdown to my wife on the Spurs game I had just been to she asked, “How much have you drunk tonight?” I hadn’t touched a drop. I realised the reason for […]
