I’m not having that Luka Modric is irreplaceable, world class or even our best – or most influential player. He is OF COURSE an outstanding footballer – but when the Croatian and Tottenham Hotspur finally part company this summer – I think it will be with a sense of what could of been. Luka’s a […]
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 […]
Ever since the Tottenham Hotspur PLC delisted itself from the stock market rumours that the club was preparing itself to be sold have grown stronger and stronger. Logistically everything is slowly falling in to place, with much of the land for rebuilding a new stadium already purchased by the club, and planning permission for a […]

Between wages and transfer income there is a possible […]
I’m not quite sure why it is that I’m writing to you. You could call it a goodbye letter, I suppose. Although I still haven’t got my head around the concept of seeing you leave, adorning another team’s colours… I’m not angry at you for wanting to leave my beloved Tottenham. It’s been getting gradually […]
When Fabrice Muamba fell to the White Hart Lane pitch there were a few who perhaps felt it resonate more than most. A young man struck down without warning, bringing unwelcome thoughts of the passing of a friend, and a reminder that death is not a curse on only the elderly or sick. In an […]
AVB FAQ: Aren’t you put off by what happened at Chelsea? No. Wasn’t his success at Porto a massive fluke? No. Isn’t he going to get hounded by the press from day one? Obviously. Is he too young to be respected? No. Is he actually any better than Redknapp? Only time will tell. We’ve only […]
