So the silly season is over for a few months and Sky Sports News' audience figures will no doubt drop back down to more regular levels until late January. The transfer window has closed and surprise, surprise, Berba has joined ManUre. Although all Spurs fans will be disappointed, I think we can also feel relieved that the episode is finally over.

An opening day loss in the northeast against one of the Premier League's weaker sides, followed by a home defeat to a team we've had a decent home record against in recent years. Déjà vu? This season has started in the same abject fashion for Tottenham as the previous one did. After last week's poor start to the season, I bit my lip. Click to continue reading...

This time last year who would have predicted what happened to Spurs in 2007-08? Certainly not me. I genuinely felt BMJ was the least likely Premier League manager to leave his post that season, and yet by the end of October he was gone. But enough of that, my predictions for what the season had in store were equally as diabolical as Levy's handling of Jol-gate, so I won't be trying anything like Click to continue reading...

An unbeaten pre-season that included beating the Scottish champions and thrashing the Serie A runners-up, the signing of some exciting new players, a striker who literally cannot stop scoring... it even looked like we were going to hang on to Berba until at least the next transfer window. Everything seemed to be going so well, but then with less than a week to go before the league season Click to continue reading...

There's no point harping on about Mr Tottenham turning his back on us to join the car thieves in Merseyside. It's water under the bridge now and therefore time to move on. As the 'second striker' Keano had a key role to play in the way Spurs sides have lined up for the last few years. As well as a decent strike rate, he was also instrumental in setting up a huge number of our goals. Click to continue reading...

So not only did Martin Jol win a trophy at the Emirates this weekend, but we picked up some more silverware in the form of the Feyenoord Jubilee Tournament Trophy. I don't think I've been this excited since we won the 2005 Peace Cup! I watched our victories over Celtic and Borussia Dortmund and was pretty pleased with what I witnessed (other than the German's constant fouling). Click to continue reading...

Another summer at Spurs and as usual it means months of speculation. As a well-supported and wealthy club it means we're linked with everyone from my gran to Pele (or so it seems at times). With 38 days remaining until the transfer window closes, I thought it was time to run through how our squad is currently shaping up for the new season. Click to continue reading...

Fresh from Daniel Levy publicly declaring Alex Ferguson's antics as "unbelievably hypocritical... and disgraceful", another football club boss has been exposed for what he really is. Simon Jordan, the man with the flowing golden locks who failed as a professional footballer, has spent the summer on a one-man mission to discredit Spurs after we appeared to land Palace's teenage sensation John Click to continue reading...

Having returned from holiday earlier this week I was hoping to hear that that stories linking Keane with Liverpool had died down, that a foreign club had offered £30 million for Berba, that no-one other than the fringe players were being linked with moves away, and that we'd landed a few more big names. Click to continue reading...

I was a little hung-over on Sunday morning when I read the News of the World, and was sure that I must have misread one of the sports stories, linking Robbie Keane with a move to Liverpool. I mean, please... Keano is a Spurs legend. He lives, breathes and sleeps Tottenham. He's had six great years at the club, and despite regular rumours linking him with a transfer, for the past twelve months I'd Click to continue reading...

Last week I estimated that Tottenham are linked to somewhere between 200 and 400 players a year. Since the domestic game is currently enjoying its summer break, and there was no Euro 2008 match last night to entertain us, the press attention on comings and goings at WHL has intensified once again. Now I don't tend to comment a great deal on transfer rumours, just because I don't think I can do Click to continue reading...

According to today's Daily Mirror, Spurs could be sold to another Dubai-based investment syndicate (not DIC who tried to buy Liverpool, but the group that sniffed around Man City before Shinawatra got his hands on them). It is alleged that the group have already approached Joe Lewis, the ENIC mogul, who may be keen to sell as he has recently lost heavily following the collapse of Bear Stearns Click to continue reading...

As regular readers know, I'm not one to spend much time discussing transfer rumours. A club of the stature of Tottenham is constantly being linked to potential new signings. In the last 12 months alone I would estimate we've been linked with 200-400 players. Trying to remain on top of that would give me a headache. Click to continue reading...

The day all football fans love has arrived. Yes, earlier this morning the Premier League announced the league fixtures for the 2008-09 season. I have reproduced the full fixture list here and I've also included friendlies and potential cup dates to ensure the fixture list is as comprehensive as possible. Click to continue reading...

After twelve weeks of great television, the likeable Spurs fan Lee McQueen was last night confirmed as the winner of the fourth series of BBC's The Apprentice. Sir Alan Sugar, who I still haven't forgiven for telling Terry Venables, "You're fired!" back in 1993, told the popular yid from Buckinghamshire that he was hired. Click to continue reading...
