Well, it’s now been over a month since I last posted anything at Tottenham Chat due to personal circumstances. Good news is I’m now back and ready to share my thoughts again! I’m still looking for more writers to post content here though. Ever fancy yourself as a sports journalist?!

So, today it’s a short trip to the Emirates for a clash with out best buddies Arsenal (sarcasm of course!). After last Saturday’s defeat at home to Stoke we could really do with a win – whoever we were playing. Naturally, the majority of us would be quite happy with the Stoke result if it meant we could take 3 points against the Arse today!

History has proved this derby to be a particularly entertaining one with plenty of goals and drama. I’m sure we all remember the 4-4 draw last season! David Bentleys sublime volley, and Lennon’s very late equaliser. I love entertainment but I’ll quite happily take a Read more…

Firstly, apologies for not writing for a little while. I’ve been out of the country and been very busy with other projects.

Since the last post we have lost 3-0 to Chelsea. Having read the match report I am under the impression that the match was much closer than the scoreline suggests. Correct me if wrong.

Just like my analysis of the defeat by Man Utd, I am of the opinion that there is no shame in losing to a team of Chelsea’s quality.

It’s fair to say that this defeat has not affected us after a midweek 5-1 thrashing of Preston. Crouch finished with a superb hat-trick including a cheeky little back-heel that is a must see!

As I write this, we are 5-0 up against Burnley (who almost caused an upset against us in the Carling Cup last year of course). Today it’s Keane’s turn to impress going one better than Crouch, scoring 4. So that’s the fourth time this season that we’ve scored 5 in a match. Love it!

COYS!!

It’s been 5 days now since our unbeaten run – and our best ever start to a Premier League campaign – came to an end.

My thoughts can be summarized in just one short sentence;

It had to end sometime, and it’s certainly no embarrassment to lose to the current champions.

Don’t get me wrong, I would have loved to get 3 points on Saturday evening, but in fairness we were up against one of the best teams in Europe – if not the world.

Fergie is a master tactician, and United are Read more…

I’m not sure if I have ever been this proud to be a Spurs supporter, having watched Lennon put in a man of the match (and match-winning) performance in England’s 5-1 demolition of Croatia last night. Everything seems to be ‘coming together’ this season with superb performances from many of our squad.

England were at their very best last night and never looked in trouble against a Croatia team rated 9th in the Fifa World Rankings. From the start we were positive in attack, and controlled in defence. Every time we got the ball we looked threatening.

It’s even better that our very own Aaron Lennon is getting such Read more…

Sebastien Bassong is our latest injury worry after limping out of Cameroon’s meeting with Gabon in the 24th minute. It’s not yet known how serious the injury is, but the defender is set to miss the return encounter with Gabon on Wednesday.

Bassong has impressed since arriving at the club from Newcastle, and we could certainly do without losing another central defender before our meeting with United at the weekend. If Bassong is to miss the Man U game, there is a possibility we’d only have Corluka left as a (semi-) recognised centre back. Corluka and Huddlestone against United? Hmm…

On the plus side, Corluka was sent off during Croatia’s 1-0 win over Belarus and will miss the meeting with England on Wednesday. At least he should be fit after only playing 29 minutes before seeing red!

With King, Woodgate, and Dawson all set to miss the match at the weekend, we could really do with Bassong being fit. Time to cross our fingers, not only for that but for all our other Internationals set to play on Wednesday. No more injuries, please…
