    Spurs’ Grand Transfer Plan

    Who’s in. Who’s out. And how the rules on squad size and composition are directing our transfer activity. Plus, why 17 is the magic number this summer... Spurs activity in the transfer market this summer has – a reserve keeper aside – followed a very clear strategy. We’re after young...

    A small tactical suggestion you will probably hate

    Hello. I would like Andros Townsend to play left back. I can imagine the skin seething at this suggestion, the scalps frothing with anger and the fingers bristling to type rancid vitriol the likes of which the internet has never before experienced outside of a Mail Online comments section about...

    The G Word

    It was with some surprise today that The Queen spoke out on the current controversy surrounding “The G Word”. “Arsenal should certainly be allowed to call themselves ‘Goons’," said Her Majesty. "One is an Arsenal fan as it is the only ground one can attend without getting a headache from all...

    "Why don't strikers love us anymore?"

    Not In The Know, with B.O. A new, occasional column with its finger completely off the pulse. Please shoot the messenger. The surprise is its total and complete lack of surprise. In less than a fortnight, Spurs have lost our number one and now number two choices to lead the line next season...

    If you're missing football...

    Today is the Malaysian FA Cup Final and it's set to be a humdinger. Last season Kelantan won the treble in Malaysia. Coach Bojan Hodak had a great team, playing decent football. Then over the summer the board sold six of his best players (in his own words "well, five who were my best and one...

    Europe: The Final Countdown

    A none-too-brief guide to how this whole European qualification malarkey can, might and will break down for anyone who wants to waste time reading about football on a Monday afternoon rather than work or argue about recently deceased Prime Ministers. Sunday April 30 2006. Fans at White Hart...

    Relegation Watch

    You want negativity? You got it. Currently Tottenham Hotspur have 54 points in this season's Premier League. This is more than any relegated team has ever accrued in history. However.... Mathematically Spurs could still go down if Wigan win all their games and we lose all of ours (don't tell...

    #AskHugo

    You've probably all seen this, but today there was a Twitter chat thing with that bloke who plays in goal for the less important games when we don't want to risk Big Brad. To read all check out #SpursQandA In a surprise to everyone, Arsenal fans sent some puerile, rude Tweets. This was to be...

    "Survival Saturday" and PL 09/10 March

    Some tasty relegation battles today. QPR running all over Sunderland but conceded first. Remy took advantage of Andros' shot rebounding to him to level. Harry really needs to get them up for the second half as they need to win at least half their remaining games. It doesn't get much easier...

    #AskSol

    For reasons I can't fathom, some genius at the BBC has decided to make a Twitter chat with that valueless, immoral bundle of **** that used to play centre-half for us before moving on to several smaller clubs. Anyway, there are - imagine this, dear reader - some Spurs fans using this...

    The "LATEST NEWS" Daily ITK Tranny Disco Thread 28th Jan 2013

    Hello and welcome to the ITK Transfer News Update and Discussion Thread. Or to give it its snappier name: The Tranny Disco Thread. In line with Rob's strict rotation policy, (think dropping Mousa Dembele for Tom Huddlestone) A&C has been given a day off to ready himself for the final few days...

    Caption Contest

    Some good photos from training just gone up on Facebook. Which, of course, leaves us morally obliged to start some form of caption competition. So, here you go: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10151116206233505.446310.351687753504&type=1

    New Year, New Spurs - Reading (A), Sun Sept 16, 2012

    Two weeks without Premier League football. But here at Spurs it feels like longer. As a result of the Chairman’s insistence on a last-minute transfer policy, a clutch of unfortunate injuries to the spine of the team, and/or the natural challenges of a new manager introducing a new system...

    Ask Edgar Davids

    Hello. I'm in the very fortunate position of interviewing the legendary Edgar Davids tomorrow. He's in KL to promote street football and I'll be at the press conference, plus should be able to get some one-on-one time (ooh err) with him afterwards. You lot have been great at suggesting...

    The Small Knight Rises

    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread Aug 17 2012 - THE SMALL KNIGHT RISES (Part 2)

    Getting exciting isn't it? Thanks for the kind words about yesterday's opening act of The Small Knight Rises. To mark the end of the last week without a new striker (we can dream), here's the culmination. And, of course, do donate. :) The Small Knight Rises – Part Two To recap. Spurs...

    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread Aug 16 2012 - THE SMALL KNIGHT RISES

    Today marks the 78th year of loyal service for A&C as Admin for this site. As a result, we felt he has earned a lie-in for one morning. So here I am in his stead. He told me that it's a piece of piss. Just take the piss out of everyone, shout some abuse about POTL, list yesterday's ITK and then...

    10,000,000 quids.

    Inspired by a comment in another thread, simple enough question to be followed, I hope, by some interesting debate on what is most important to the success of a football club. Namely Spurs. 10 million quid. We have it (probably). What would, in your opinion, be the best way to spend it...

    Aspirations of 5th - nearly gone

    For one horrible moment (one of many) yesterday, I thought we had tossed away the chance to finish this season in the top five. It certainly seemed that way. Mathematically I thought it was beyond us. Given our general awfulness at present, it probably still is. But we can still dream. We...

    Bale The Reducer

    Two weeks, two right backs for the oppo sent off. Not to mention terrorising every other player in his sights. There hasn't been this big a threat to the right wing since The Nuremburg Trials. Great to see the lad back on form and in the goals. Hopefully silence a few of the...
