Pattern of Disappointing Play Continues

The season has been over for some time for the boys of N17. A UEFA Cup spot was secured back in February and there's really no where to go, up or down in league, so why bother? That's the attitude we've been seeing from just about every member of T ...

Ridiculous Ronaldinho Rumors

By answering one little line of questioning, that really only had one answer, Juande Romos has the story hungry media spinning. That being said, I have an idea... Let's play a little game, I'll take a published Ramos quote regarding the Brazilian meg ...

Quite a Year for Spurs Shirts

It's hard being a total sucker for football shirts. If anyone I know goes over seas I'm instantly giving them orders to pick me up some sort of football shirt. It reminds me a little of being a kid and opening a pack of Baseball cards. Once that bag i

Woodgate Heads Spurs to Glory!

A few photos to get us started today. You'll have to forgive us here at Spurs offside for not posting yesterday after the game but there was quite a bit of celebrating to be done! COYS!!

Let's Remove the Potential Tag from Rene Adler

I’d like to talk this week about my man-crush, Rene Adler. Why is he my man-crush, you ask? Well, while the Bundesliga is my favorite league in the world, I have no team I support. It’s a liberating feeling because I can enjoy Bayern and Bremen

Spurs Summer Should be Interesting

As we sit on the eve of the two biggest games in Spurs very young 2008 I've been left contemplating a few moves Spurs reportedly almost made in the January window and how those efforts will shape what we will see in the summer. Daniel Jarque could well

UEFA Cup: Photos and Comments; Spurs take first leg 2-1

"We could have achieved a better result." Those are the words of Juande Ramos following yesterdays 2-1 victory in the first leg of Spurs UEFA cup tie with Slavia Prague. It also happens to be exactly the same thing my friends and I said to each othe

Tevez deals Spurs a Shot to the Nuts

OUCH!!! This is getting f'n silly! I mean, at least it was United that were stealing points from us in stoppage time and not Sunderland or Birmingham but finishing a game like we did hurts like a son of a bitch regardless of the opposition! Even w

Spurs Improve Under Juande

So I was waiting to write my next blog about the official signing of Alan Hutton (still haven't seen him in a white shirt even though Gers site is reporting it to be a done deal) or even the game tomorrow v. the Toffees at Goodison. But my mind got to won

The Ever-Changing Juve Transfer Drama

Just a couple of weeks ago, Juve were hot and heavy after Liverpool's Momo Sissoko. Then, it looked as if their interested had faded, and they were content to bring in Olof Mellberg from Aston Villa in June, rather than rush into anything right now. But,

What the Hell are Spurs doing?

Spurs hierarchy is a complete and utter mess. There, I said what we all know. What the hell are they doing? What the hell have they done?First of all, face it guys, you can spend all you want to buy a player but when you're only willing to go so high with

Highlights of Spurs v. Fulham from Boxing Day

Return of the King!/Spurs Notes

Okay, I have quite few points that I want to make this morning. Let's start off with today's game v. Fulham. Ledley King returns/ Spurs defeat Fulham 5-1 - Spurs throttled the Cottagers 5-1. But most importantly Ledley King has returned to Spurs st

Merry Christmas from the Spurs offside!

On a side note Spurs have been drawn against Slavia Prague in the last 32 of the UEFA cup. Spurs won both legs in last years meeting with the same Czech club. COYS!

England's No. 3?

Steve McClaren has decided to drop Paul Robinson on the eve of England's game against Croatia in favor of Scott Carson...... Thank you Steve, you are doing Spurs fans everywhere a huge favor! Robinson's club form over the past few weeks has been rathe

Steve Nash=Yid

Most people are aware that Steve Nash, point guard for the Phoenix Suns, is a huge Tottenham Hotspur supporter. I just found this little video to be of interest, especially the part where Nash kisses the Spurs crest on his shirt. Steve Nash is 100% Yi

Gus? To Tottenham? Please say it ain't true

The BBC - and pretty much everyone else, for that matter - is reporting that Juande Ramos, Tottenham's replacement for Martin Jol, want Leeds's assistant manager Gus Poyet to take on the same role at Tottenham. Leeds fans the world over are praying tonig

Ramos resigns from Sevilla

Juande Ramos has resigned from Sevilla. It looks as if the long rumored switch to Tottenham Hotspur is very close to becoming a reality. COYS! Juande Ramos Factfile (From Sporting Life) 1954: September 25 - Born Juan de la Cruz Ramos in Ped

What Next? Jol Out, Ramos In?

I was forced to follow the first half of the Getafe game at work yesterday and as the half time whistle blew, the game at 1-1, I decided I would switch off the live game tracker and ignore the urge to check any football related websites until my wor

UEFA Cup Group G Preview

It's almost time to get back to that tournament everyone in the soccer world cares about more than any other ... and, it's also time for its ignored little brother, the UEFA Cup. Here is the seventh in my soon-to-be-completed eight part series on the UEF

Spurs to spend more in January

I was watching Sky Sports News last night and they reported that Spurs are raking in record profits this year. Apparently this will translate into even more spending come the January transfer window. This got me to thinking; how should they direct these f

Robbo to miss Newcastle fixture

Looks as if Paul Robinson picked up a knock while playing for England in their Euro 2008 qualifier in Russia last night. Robinson's calf strain will keep him out of Monday's game at St. James Park. We'll see how Spurs fair without England's no. 1.

Spurs cruise into group stage

Well, it wasn't quite the drubbing that the first leg at the Lane proved to be but an away draw v. Anorthosis Famagusta keeps up our recent unbeaten form and sends Spurs through to the UEFA Cup group stages. I've yet to see highlights. I'm working

Robinson will eventually sink Jol

We’ve been watching a ticking time bomb over the past few months. Martin Jol looks as if he could be put right into one of the Die Hard movies, franticly trying to figure out if he should cut the red or green wire. I say cut the Robinson wire Marin.

Spurs Still a Few Steps Behind

Let me just get this off of my chest right away. Our strikers looked like crap. Thank God we spent 16.5 on Bent so he can make an occasional super expensive cameo. Just think how nice a 16.5 million pound central midfielder would have looked alongside

North London Derby! – Can Spurs Finally Figure out Gunners?

It seems there’s more on the line then simple bragging rights going into Saturday’s North London Derby at the Lane. I can’t speak for Ars*nal fans as they’re normally preoccupied with some sort of David Hasselhoff/Baywatch convention or puttin

Oh no, not again… Lippi to Spurs?

For me personally, the international break is a real killer. Just as the season is starting to roll we’re left waiting two weeks to see our club play. The agony is compounded by the fact that we’re hosting the scum on the 15th. The anticipation ha

Frustration on Many Levels – Spurs Yet to Kick into Gear

The transfer window has finally closed without much fanfare. With that behind us every fan then can turn their attention to football itself. No more thin rumors regarding this defender or that winger, just football. Unfortunately we are Spurs fans and

Latest Transfer Deadline Chaos

Here are just a few bits of lies and speculation hot off the press, courtesy of our friends at bbc.com: Gutti: The Real Madrid midfielder was seen on the Tottenham High Road. Earlier in the day the Spaniard had been met in the arrivals hall at Stan
