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 […]
If this is what a modern day Tottenham Hotspur ‘crisis’ has become, I’ll take them all day long. They’re a damn sight less depressing than they used to be.

As I watched the 2011-12 Spurs campaign unfold, a curious thing happened. The one-time LWB and current left midfielder Gareth Bale, started to roam across to the central part of the pitch. The most feared left midfielder in the Premiership (Sorry Juan Mata) is all of sudden occupying land in unforeseen territory. Was this by […]
Well the the transfer window has finally opened and transfer gossip and ITK is currently gearing up, before switching in to overdrive in the middle of August. As usual Tottenham have already been linked with dozens of players. While most of the players are familiar names (Kaka, Pato, Huntelaar, Lassana Diarra etc), every now and […]
Whatever your view is on the drum, whether it is a nuisance with its constant assault on the ears, or a symbol of support for the club, the executive branch of White Hart Lane does what it does because they have the portentous view that they own you. Joe Lewis of ENIC International, the Board […]
