As ever, the excitement has been building and with the absence of a major international tournament to distract us during the summer months it is with relief that a new season is finally upon us.   Drowning in pre-season predictions (three guesses where this blog is head...Read More

Spurs: A Top Half Finish?

Spurs: A Top Half Finish?
March 8, 2009 by Jordan Lister
After a dramatic point at Arsenal, two victories over Liverpool and an unbeaten start of five games, Spurs fans could be forgiven for entertaining notions of a top half finish as Harry Redknapp’s arrival  galvanized the entire club and vanquished memories of its worst eve...Read More

The Carling Cup Final: A Foregone Conclusion?
February 25, 2009 by Jordan Lister
On Sunday, Manchester United stand in the way of Tottenham Hotspur retaining the Carling Cup.  It looks a formidable task for a Spurs side flirting with relegation and stretched in the midst of a 6 game spell taking place within 17 days.  Of course, Manchester United have ...Read More

Robbie Keane: Re-earning His Spurs

Premier League’s ‘Relegation War’
November 15, 2008 by Jordan Lister
In my first contribution to this site, a fortnight ago now, I used Tottenham Hotspur’s John Bostock as a portal to explore some of the issues surrounding young English players in today’s game.  And it would be fair to say that the overall tone of the piece was negative....Read More

The Youth Today
November 5, 2008 by Jordan Lister
In May this year Tottenham Hotspur beat off the likes of Barcelona, Chelsea and Manchester United to sign Crystal Palace’s 16 year old prodigy, John Bostock.  Outside the Championship (or, more accurately perhaps, South East London), Bostock was hardly a household name. ...Read More
