Wednesday night sees what could well be the decisive match in the Premier League’s fascinating race for the Champions League spots. Tottenham finished two places above Chelsea last season but had to make do with Europa League football after the Blues’ Champions League triumph in Munich. This season the two have been locked in a [...]
With only eight games left to go in the fight for a top four finish in the Premier League, Tottenham will be hoping that one of their strikers can find a bit of form to help them with their pursuit. There is no denying that both Jermain Defoe and Emmanuel Adebayor have struggled this term [...]
Two out of the EPL’s top three in-form sides face each other on Sunday, as Tottenham Hotspur host Manchester United at White Hart Lane. Spurs will be looking for a remarkable “double” over United – something that hasn’t happened since the 1989-1990 season – after their gritty 3-2 win back in September at Old Trafford. [...]
Tottenham qualified for the next round of the Europa League after finishing second in their group, remaining undefeated in the competition so far. The side have also continued to build upon this momentum, cementing three consecutive Premier League victories to climb to fourth in the table.

On Saturday afternoon at Craven Cottage, a brace for Defoe took him to four goals in a week and his tally for the season up to 9. Aside from the goals, Defoe had a relatively quiet game, making just 14 passes in the entire 90 minutes. Defoe is a player who splits opinion amongst Spurs [...]

Tom Huddlestone is set to spend a large amount of the season on the sidelines as Scott Parker, Moussa Dembele and Sandro all continue their rehabilitation processes on following a range of different injuries. The Englishman has been used by Andre Villas-Boas as a holding midfielder in the past three games in place for the [...]
White Hart Lane has been home to a poisonous atmosphere this season. Boos were heard at half time in the very first home game of the season, when Spurs were unable to take the lead against West Brom. These boos were heard again against Norwich, and were at their fiercest in the loss to Wigan [...]
A strong attacking start from Andre Villas-Boas’ squad has disguised the defensive flaws in the 35-year-old’s methods at Tottenham, where his patient and gradual style has led to a relaxed approach from the team, most notably at the cost of conceding late goals. Whilst it could be said that this is down to his 4-2-3-1 formation, the [...]
Totalling just two points from the opening three games of the season (with both points earned in disappointing home draws), the press seemed all too willing to put Tottenham Hotspur manager Andre Villa Boas under increasing scrutiny.
