I Love Paul Robinson

TottenhamBlog — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 13:52:19 +0000

I love Paul Robinson. No, not the peg-legged arch villain from Neighbours, nor the impostor that plays for Bolton. I’m referring to the real Paul Robinson. The one that used to play in goal for Spurs. The reason I love Paul Robinson so much is because of his relationship with the fans. It doesn’t take much [...]

Don’t you wish your football team was hot like mine?

As any fule kno, we are still in with a decent shout for two major trophies after this weeks exertions. And we're playing football like what it should be played. And it's pretty jolly good on the eye too.

Obviously there are any number of teams which cannot hope to play the style we managed during the week, we have one coming up this weekend for starters. But don't you suspect that even our closest neighbours would like to play the way we do? Just in passing, 'Arry, get a grip. The only chance you have of getting closer to us is if your new stadium is built closer than your current one, before you manage to bankrupt the club. You have been warned Spuds fans, he has previous in that regard. A lot of previous. Still I suppose it's a bit like someone standing on a tall building and saying they were closer to the sun. Yes they are closer, but there's still an awful long way to go to get within touching distance.

Even though we're getting toward the 'squeaky bum' part of the season, I find myself in a pretty good frame of mind. We have survived a tricky CL tie by making it look profoundly easy, albeit aided and abetted somewhat by Porto. None the less an inspiring display by Nasri and the man who's taken over the banjo duties from Adebarndoor. Well Nik, if you want the rest of us to believe that you're right and we're just not seeing the big picture man, tune up the banjo and look for some bovine behind. Judging by the amount of BS emanating from that giant of an oompa loompa oop t'North, there's gotta be something to target. Just make sure you wear something suitable.

Don't know about you, but I have a sneaking feeling Cesc doesn't particularly like interviews. In his latest on ATVO his answers tended toward the succinct, finishing with this pearl.

ATVO - "If Arsenal win something this season... you'll be captain, you'll lift the trophy. What will that mean to you?"

Cesc - "I ..

Sit Down If You Love Tottenham

For 26 years of my Spurs supporting life I was a fit and mobile, but sometimes inebriated Tottenham fan. Everything changed for me in September 2004 when I stupidly broke my neck on a night out in Plymouth. This incident would prove to be serious and of life changing magnitude. The vertebrae at the base of [...]

Potential Semi Final Could Make Spurs v Arsenal Even More Important

TottenhamBlog — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 14:45:52 +0000
It has been confirmed that either Spurs or Fulham will face Portsmouth on April 11th in the FA Cup semi-final. Should Tottenham get there, it means that the North London derby, which is currently scheduled for April 10th, will have to be rescheduled. Our fixture list around this time already looked tough, with Arsenal on the 10th, [...]

Why Wilson’s Ambitions Are No Real Threat To Spurs

TottenhamBlog — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 11:11:33 +0000
Everyone and their dog are currently reporting the news that Wilson Palacios has admitted that he has his heart set on a move to Real Madrid. Whilst it would be preferable if Wilson had kept his ambitions to himself, I don’t think that it’s something that should cause us major concern. I’ve already read views from [...]

Could Tottenham’s Little And Large Become England’s Plan B?

TottenhamBlog — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 14:14:01 +0000
As the World Cup build-up gathers pace and the media take aim at their final squad selections, it seems to me that regardless of our consistent existence outside of ‘the big four’, it is in fact Spurs players who could play the biggest role as England look to finally conquer their second World Cup. If [...]

FA Cup Or Fourth? Winning Should Be Our Only Priority

TottenhamBlog — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 11:56:44 +0000
A draw away at Fulham isn’t a bad result, certainly not this season (just ask United), but a semi final draw against Portsmouth is a cracking result. Wembley is within our grasp – and not just for the semi. This is the best chance we’ve had to get a real piece of silverware (that can’t [...]

Memories Of The 1984 UEFA Cup Final

TottenhamBlog — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 15:35:57 +0000
This was a fantastic time to be a Spurs supporter. There was a wonderful blend of style and courage in the team. Graham Roberts and Paul Miller provided the guts and determination, Hoddle and Ardiles could twist, turn and pass the ball majestically, while Crooks and Archibald would score goals for fun. Even [...]

Borussia Dortmund and Cologne Supporters Are Top Class

Bundesliga Talk — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 13:00:18 +0000
I was born into the English leagues. I grew up in Britain so the only leagues I could see on television and see in person when I was a child in the late 70s and early 80s were the British leagues. And one of the factors that attracted me most to those leagues, not that [...] Related posts:
