22 February 2012, 10:31 pm
Nerves kicked in? Or perhaps not? Are you bouncing off the walls, giddy and excited? Primed to sing your heart out for the shirt? For the second time in a season we go into the North London Derby as favourites. A far cry from the past dark days of mediocrity where a dominating Arsenal side had very little trouble picking off an average Spurs team, plucky and insecure and at times calamitous. Even when we punched above our weight adding blood and thunder to the dramatics, we still had little to s...We didn't beat Stevenage
20 February 2012, 8:14 am
What a wonderful afternoon of cup action on Sunday. Fluid sexy movement, push and run football from the visitors and gallant efforts from the lower tier hosts who battled bravely to defend their pride against the hot-shots from North London. It was a majestic occasion. That's basically how I hoped this match report would start in an ideal post-game world, however what we got instead was abject hoofing, fragmented selection and quite possibly Tottenham's most below par performance of the se...Let's pretend we scored a goal
17 February 2012, 7:58 pm
Thanks to everyone that turned out at the Valley yesterday evening for the Charlton v Spurs FA Youth Cup game as part of the #tottenhamultras project. Disappointing we lost to a last minute goal, but the night was a fantastic celebration in supporting our club. Tottenham fans singing relentlessly for ninety minutes in a boisterous impromptu mess as opposed to the more colourful spectacle of the South Americans and more serious synchronised madness of our continental counterparts. We're never goi...Hazard's dad tells us what we know already
15 February 2012, 1:14 pm
Hazard Pretty much inconsequential until we hear official word but off the back of Eden Hazard citing Tottenham, his dad (in a follow up interview on Belgian tv) has stated the following about his in-demand wonder-kid son: - Eden wants a move to an English club (no shocker, we know this) - The English club has to offer him room to grow in combination with Champions League football + attacking style of play (I think we can be confident of appeasing him on both accounts) - There is 'very serious i...Harry Redknapp was wrong
12 February 2012, 8:01 pm
Tottenham 5 Newcastle United 0 If there was a performance that defined the word galvanised this was it. Harry’s court case, the England job, the White Hart Lane faithful, the players...everything fused together perfectly to drive forward an emotive and at times wonderfully majestic game of one-sided football that illustrated what is so good about this Spurs side. Patience is not a virtue that is often allowed to settle in amongst all the hyperbole and drama at any given club. We al...
Lancaster shines as Uvini makes his bow
22 February 2012, 6:55 pm
It’s already been a big year for Cameron Lancaster after he made his first Spurs appearance as a late substitute in last month’s 3-1 win over Wigan. Yesterday, the 19 year old striker upstaged his new team mate Bruno Uvini by nailing a hat trick in a Spurs XI 7-3 win over Leyton Orient. Tottenham’s [...]...All April’s weekend fixtures now televised live
22 February 2012, 1:59 pm
It should be an exciting run in to the end of the season with Spurs hoping to cement a third place finish at the very least and the TV companies are certainly anticipating an interesting month this April. All of Tottenham’s weekend fixtures have now been moved to allow for SKY or ESPN and the [...]...Injury gloom continues to lift
22 February 2012, 11:43 am
At the start of the week, Spurs manager Harry Redknapp painted a rather grim picture of injury issues in the Tottenham squad but after Rafael van der Vaart declared his readiness for the Arsenal game on Sunday, Emmanuel Adebayor has also announced that he hopes to be fit to face his former club. Ade twisted [...]...VDV winning fitness battle but will he get in the side?
21 February 2012, 4:58 pm
It will certainly solve one injury headache for Harry if Rafael van der Vaart comes back into the squad for Sunday’s game against Arsenal and the Dutchman himself has claimed that he is winning his battle to regain full fitness. VDV has been missing since limping out of the 3-1 win over Wigan at the [...]...Any future in the wing back system?
21 February 2012, 2:31 pm
Tottenham’s ploy of playing two wing backs in the 0-0 draw on Sunday was negated somewhat by the state of the Stevenage pitch but could this be a useful formation for Harry to consider in the future? It marked an odd departure for a squad that seems to play 4-5-1 whenever Rafael van der Vaart [...]...

The North London Derby looms once more and as many of you may have realised, St. Totteringham's Day has been cancelled and all indicators are that this may well be a permanent arrangement. In honour of this tawdry wrong being righted I thought it would only befit such an occasion to do a quick fire pre-match Q&A with the grande fromage of the online opposition.

Good morning and welcome to the reality of the FA Cup. I think trying to pull player ratings out of that game would be about productive as teaching Dereck Chisora to use cutlery. The stark reality of playing a League 1 side seemed to take a few by shock yesterday. Yes, Stevenage were a bit [...]...

Harry’s Human After All
20 February 2012, 1:41 pm
He’s taken us ten points clear of the rest, laid hands on the lame and made them score, and thwarted the combined might of the taxman and the Crown Prosecution Service.

9 February 2012, 2:32 pm
The public are comfortable with Harry Redknapp. His rumpled, down-to-earth persona harks back to a bygone era before football became a commercial monster, evoking soft fuzzy Sunday evening television images of a time when society was less complicated and life was better. With Harry, like him or not, you know where you are. At Spurs, [...]...Point Good, Dawson Great, Parker Magnificent

Twenty-Four hours later, the dust has settled and from my view, I can see a clear road to Wembley after being drawn at home to Bolton in the quarter final of the FA cup, providing we see off Stevenage….

Harry set to leave a Redknapp-shaped hole at either Spurs or England
9 February 2012, 8:33 pm
Redknapp's version of Usain Bolt's iconic celebration was lacking in many areas.In the aftermath of the chaos that was February 9th 2012, no-one could discuss the position of Tottenham manager with any certainty. Harry Redknapp, the current incumbent, began the day with the verdict of a court case for tax evasion hanging over his head yet, come the day’s completion, his immediate and medium term future was the most speculated upon in all the land.

Pepe wished he hadn't pulled Gareth's fingerMonday night was not Gareth Bale’s.While a 0-0 draw with Liverpool at Anfield is a good result for Tottenham, and the match itself was arguably one of the better stalemates you’re likely to see in terms of energy and commitment, it is a game Bale might soon wish to put behind him.Not for the want of trying, in the first half, Bale had struggled to impact the game due to the combined work of Dirk Kuyt and Martin Kelly on Liverpool’s right hand sid...On Wigan, Liverpool and the fall of the Roman Empire

For shame.So, in a desperate attempt to catch up - and stay relevant – TBFWHL is taking a look back at 14 days in which Spurs stumbled into the fifth round of the FA Cup, re-entered the title race after a brief remission and brought in a couple of battle-hardened veterans at the expense of a cult hero.All that while the manager was in court,...Evil Spurs fluke their way into last 16
30 January 2012, 2:11 pm
"Go on, touch it. I've put the safety on."Football on a Friday night? It's just not cricket. Perhaps that was the reason for Tottenham's utterly distasteful performance at Vicarage Road as they scraped past a plucky Watford. If you were to believe the general theme of the commentary and post-match media reports, you'd be forgiven for thinking Spurs arrived in north west London, rudely parked their giant team coach wherever they chose, shaped to headbutt anyone and everyone on their way in and sp...The cruellest twist of fate of them all

Transfer Window killed the ITK Star Part 2: January 2012
12 February 2012, 10:54 pm
Back in the summer, we at WeAreTottenham.net decided that we’d had enough of the increasing number of unaccountable ‘ITKs’ and the power-crazy forum moderators who protect them. So we took it upon ourselves to become an unofficial ‘ITK’ Watchdog. We scoured all the forums for several months, collated all the so-called ‘ITK’ and then analysed it after the window had shut. The results were pretty interesting and were all summarised in our Transfer Window killed the ITK Star artic...Adventures of a Born-Again Washed-Up Sunday League Footballer

It was one of those games where Spurs look like the best team in England. The opposition were lowly Wigan Athletic, but we killed them nonetheless. Gareth Bale opened the scoring after half an hour. Luka Modric crossed, Bale took the ball on his chest and got his leg high with the flexibility of a gymnast to poke the ball past Ali Al-Habsi. Modric buried a half-volley in the bottom corner from the edge of the box to double the lead and in the second half Bale got our third with another strike fr...Watford 0 Tottenham Hotspur 1: A lackadaisical performance, but the FA Cup is ours to lose

Harry Redknapp could only roll his eyes when he was informed, an hour or so after the final whistle, that the man spearheading the Football Association's search for a new England manager, David Bernstein, had been among the crowd. "I bet he was impressed with the football I served up," he said, voice heavy with sarcasm. "I can just see him thinking: 'Who is this geezer?'"The truth, as Redknapp conceded, was that it was rare to see Spurs so poor at keeping the ball and lacking so much imagination...Stevenage v Tottenham Hotspur - as it happened | Jacob Steinberg
