Tottenham Hotspur sign a brilliant midfielder on one hell of a “wheeler dealer” (shh… don’t tell ‘Arry) snag and now every reporter in the world seems to think we have a huge problem on our hands. “Where will he play? Who will be benched? OMG”. That’s all the jive these days. I thought we had

So Wigan have somewhat redeemed themselves at the Lane and Roberto Martinez saves his job for another day or so. They were definitely not the pushovers most people thought they would be.

3 points away to Stoke is definitely money in the bank. A volatile Brittania Stadium is not the place Spurs would choose for a fixture considering the number of key players missing.

Controversy strikes Tottenham as “washed up” Gallas is on his way to the Lane. Whichever way you look at it, the move is sure to add a little flame to the NLD fire. Players are players. You’ll hate them as long as they don someone else’s kits. They come and go making goosebumps appear across

So Harry has committed his future to Tottenham, staying on as manager till 2013. I personally believe that this is the most crucial signing of the summer. Possibly, the most important in years. The reason being that clubs that sift through managers like garbage never really have a success story waiting at the end of the road.
