No New Year hangover for
Spurs. Will 2013 please carry on like this, a 3-1 victory over Reading. Well results wise, without those first few minutes and without Howard Webb of course. read the rest of this rubbish

Toxic ramblings about football, Tottenham Hotspur and England.
We all warned Gareth Bale that it would come
to this. And we were right. Spurs fans didn't like it when he was doing it, diving that is, or going down theatrically, it's earned him a reputation that referees are too witless to see past. read the rest of this rubbish
That second half corner count was a
disgrace. In the first half of Spurs' away game at Aston Villa they were too busy amassing corners and throw ins in the second they recklessly abandoned the goal for the record number of corners for actual goals. read the rest of this rubbish
The unrelenting misery that is Stoke
City. Don't know what's worse what Stoke call football or the joy they take in killing the game. Points for points sake, no enjoyment, glory in destruction, you wonder what Danny Blanchflower would have made of it all. read the rest of this rubbish
Or how to survive the last 15 minutes plus
injury time. Easy answer for Spurs to hold out during the last 10 to 15 minutes of games with a lead looks like being to play teams with little attacking intention - like Swansea. Fine by me. read the rest of this rubbish
Stop the game, we need to get off

All’s well that ends
well. This Europa League group stage has been a bit touch and go over the six games for Spurs, right through to 15 minutes from the end of the final game at home to Panathinaikos last night. read the rest of this rubbish
I don’t know how long AVB can go on
at this rate. Three wins in a week, 9 points from 9, eight goals for just two against. Surely 'Arry would have done better than this. It can't carry on, we shouldn't allow it to carry on. read the rest of this rubbish
Spurs getting away with it
a bit. Taking enough chances when they came and hanging on to a lead to see it out for the victory. Doesn't make for pleasant viewing until after the final whistle. read the rest of this rubbish
Are the pieces finally falling into
place? Yes it was only the vile scum of West Ham but with the likes of Lloris, Dawson and Dempsey playing and playing well it was probably the best home game of the season so far. read the rest of this rubbish
