    Hillsborough - it could have been us!!

    I've been reading a lot about the Hillsborough disaster over the last few weeks and I was amazed to learn that a similar incident was averted when we played there in the 1981 semi-final. According to the report, an exit was opened to let Spurs fans into the Leppings Lane end after overcrowding...

    Twisted logic

    Maybe it is grasping at straws but after Chelsea robbed us with the goal that never was in the FA Cup and then took our rightful place in the Champions League, having a successful AVB at WHL next season would be one hell of a way of getting back at them!!

    Still proud...

    No matter what happens on Saturday I'm proud of what we have achieved over the last few seasons with Harry at the helm. Given the lofty heights we reached at Christmas and the aspirations that created, it is easy to remember the problems we have had to face on and off the field. What other club...

    More important we finish ahead of Chelsea

    After Saturday's draw at Stamford Bridge maintained the five-point gap it struck me that's it's more important that we finish ahead of Chelsea than Arsenal this season. Given their attempts to sign Modric in the summer, the money at their disposal and the fact the managerless club is in...

    Four points since Capello left!

    Interesting stat on BBC - Since Fabio Capello resigned as England manager, Tottenham have picked up only four points from a possible 15. That's crazy stuff! But after the court case, Capello and collapses I really think Rafa's goal last night will turn out to be crucial. We're just a point...

    Square pegs, round holes

    I think Harry needs to take a better look at how he utilises our entire squad. and stop trying to put square pegs in round holes. Saturday against Everton was the perfect example. I don't mind Bale being on the right but why play Modric, Parker AND Sandro. Surely you could utilise Krancjar or...

    Any ITK on Harry and England?

    I'm a self-confessed ITK addict during the transfer season so just wandering if our excellent ITKs have heard anything and will they be putting it on the ITK thread? Think we're all dying to know what's happening behind the scenes!!

    Redknapp scouting in Italy?

    The Mirror, in the middle of their report on the Chelsea game, said Hiddink jeted off to take over the Russia team but they mentioned that Harry was also off to scout a Serie A game? Any idea what team he watched and who he's looking at?

    Help

    My mate is a smug Arsenal fan (well, not so smug at the moment) who loves testing others with his football knowledge - I'd love to wipe the smile off his face but have no clue about this question - any ideas? I am an international player who scored eight goals in my native country before going...

    So, are you happy now that Harry prioritised!

    Just wondering where all those who criticised Harry for selecting an under-strength side for the UEFA Cup are now! (although, I feel he picked the best side available to him). Premier League surivival has always been the priority and Harry was proved right last night with the win - regardless...

    Well done young uns!

    The likes of Parret, Campbell, Gio and Bostock did superbly last night! The focus from last night is very much on the defeat and Gomes but we should ignore the positives. Parret played it simple and while wasn't spectacular did a brilliant job. He looked more assured than Jenas did! He worked...

    Bookies pay out on CC final!

    According to the bookies we've no chance against United in the Carling Cup Final - I hope we prove the wrong! This is from the Times. United have won the treble Or at least that is what Paddy Power, the bookmaker, thinks. In a brave move, it has paid out early on Sir Alex Ferguson's side...

    Wenger is just wrong!

    Wenger's excuses for last night's defeat just don't add up. he claims that his side were immature and lacked experience so I put together a quick list of Premier League appearances for both sides last night. This doesn't include substitute appearances (which for Arsenal would have made a...

    Gus on Match of the Day

    Did you see Gus on MOTD? An honest, forthright assessment if ever I heard one. Basically, he said that everyone at the club - players, manager, coach, staff, chairman etc - has to take responsibility for what is happening and no-one individual is to blame. The reporter asked him if that...

    Cup tied players are the problem!

    One of the main problems we have at the moment is our cup-tied players. I know it is only Pav and Corluka but given they are in two prominent positions in our team, it is clearly not helping matters. To me, Ramos is picking his team not with the next match in mind, but at least the next three...

    Jenas enjoys rebirth after licence to thrill

    From The Times Jermaine Jenas, a footballer of ability and achievement who always seems on the brink of something bigger. Like player, like club — long before Jenas joined Tottenham Hotspur in 2005 you heard more about the North London club possessing potential than about them realising it...

    Give youth a chance...

    With our season effectively over, I thought I'd offer a my thoughts (for what they are worth) on our future plans. This season has been very Tottenham – a real roller-coaster of emotions offering plenty to talk about. The Carling Cup success has given us a glimpse of what we are capable of...
