After a disappointing derby loss against West Ham, Tottenham bounced back against Aston Villa securing a 0-2 away victory. This was Spurs’ fourth away victory and clean sheet in succession. After an invisible performance against West Ham, Christian Eriksen was dropped in favour of Lewis Holtby; who has notched 6 assists so far this season, whilst […]
Like most Spurs fans I spend my time obsessing about how Spurs seem to control so many games without truly threatening their opponents. After witnessing a textbook Spurs performance against Aston Villa at the weekend- I’ve come up with is a hypothesis that AVB’s high line is both a blessing and a curse. At the […]

We enter the international break in a fairly strong position sat in 6th position, just three points off the lead.

With just six goals scored so far we trail the current top scorers (Manchester City) by 11 goals, […]
