SPURS WANT TOP FOUR

The Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas has said that the top four position still remains within reach for the Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers, against whom he will be coming up in the midweek action.

The Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas has said that the top four position still remains within reach for the Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers, against whom he will be coming up in the midweek action.

Tottenham will be having the home match against Liverpool looking to cement their challenge for the top four positions, but it is extremely different for the away team. Liverpool came into the new season with hope and belief that the manager Brendan Rodgers will be able to guide them to a top four finish for the first time in three seasons. However, they have started in the season even worse than under Kenny Dalglish and find themselves in the bottom half of the table.

Despite this, they can keep make up the ground with the teams competing for the top four positions according to the Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas. Tottenham themselves are looking to finish in the top four positions, but their challenge has been faltering in recent weeks. Since the 4-2 defeat against Chelsea, they have been extremely poor in all competitions. This has seen them slip to the eighth position in the table before being helped back by the victory against West Ham United during the weekend. Andre Villas-Boas will be looking to build on the 3-1 victory when they take on Liverpool at White Hart Lane.

“At the moment they (Liverpool) are on a good run in terms of form. They would want ideally to turn the draws into wins. In a couple of games there were very close to winning but they didn’t get the result that they wanted. They are in an awkward position in the league at the moment but the distance between the teams (in the middle of the table) is not a lot so it can change dramatically for them and they can join the top-10 very soon,” said Andre Villas-Boas.

SPURS BEAT VILLA

Tottenham Hotspur has defeated Aston Villa in a Premier League match played at the White Hart Lane on Sunday. Tottenham won the match by 2-0. This was the fourth victory for Tottenham in the ongoing Premier league.

On the other hand, Aston Villa is currently at no. 16 in the points table. The Villa team has also played seven matches so far out of which the team won only one match. The team lost four and the remaining two finished in the form of a draw.

A huge crowd was expected to turn up to cheer for the Spurs and that’s what exactly happened. The stadium was packed with more than 35,000 Tottenham supporters.

The Villa players looked out of touch and the coordination between them was not the best for sure. On the other hand, the Spurs were full of enthusiasm. In spite of creating a couple of opportunities in the first half, the Tottenham team didn’t manage to take the lead and at the half time break, the scorecard was saying 0-0.

The Spurs got ahead in the 58th minute of the match with the goal of Steven Caulker. He capitalized on a well placed corner kick from Jermain Defoe and flicked the ball home.
Just a few minutes later, the lead of Tottenham was doubled. This time it was Aaron Lennon who found the back of the net. Clint Dempsey was the one who assisted the goal.
The Villa team wasn’t able to score even a single goal in the match and lost yet another match in the ongoing Premier League.

Tottenham Hotspur will play its next match against Chelsea on the upcoming Saturday at the same venue.

SPURS CAN’T AFFORD MOUTINHO

Tottenham are unlikely to offer the same £ 24 million for the Portuguese midfielder Joao Moutinho in the January transfer window according to a close source at Tottenham. The club became extremely close to securing the services of the FC Porto midfielder after agreeing a £ 22 million fee with the Portuguese club.

However, the deal could not be completed in time after the London club failed to agree personal terms with the player. There have been rumours that the Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas will make Joao Moutinho his first priority when the transfer window reopens in January.

However, the deal could not be completed in time after the London club failed to agree personal terms with the player. There have been rumours that the Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas will make Joao Moutinho his first priority when the transfer window reopens in January.

However, the club are not going to offer the same £ 22 million that the provided to FC Porto. The deal was not completed due to various reasons according to insiders. It is thought that FC Porto immediately increased the transfer fee demanded for the player to up to £ 24 million when they knew that the club was not able to agree personal terms with the player. Joao Moutinho was not offered the kind of wages that any club would offer for a record signing. If Joao Moutinho had arrived for £ 22 million, he would have become the record signing at the club beating the £ 16.8 million for Luka Modric in 2008.

“On a point of principle, there is very little chance that Spurs will offer £24m for Moutinho again. There are plenty of good players out there and we are always looking for value in the market,” said an insider close to Tottenham. It is highly unlikely that Tottenham will be in the market for a new midfielder especially having signed the Fulham midfielder Dembele for around £ 15 million on the deadline day of the transfer window. Dembele started his new career at Spurs with a goal.

KABOUL CONVINCING LLORIS

Tottenham defender Younes Kaboul has said that he has spoken with his international team mate and the Lyon goalkeeper Hugo Lloris about the possibility of moving to the Premier league with Tottenham in the future.

The Lyon goalkeeper Hugo Lloris is regarded as one of the most talented goalkeeper some world and he is expected to complete a move to a major club this summer or in the next summer. However, it looks like he will be sealing a move to Tottenham after it has emerged that the Tottenham defender Kaboul has spoken with the goalkeeper about life at Tottenham.

However, it looks like he will be sealing a move to Tottenham after it has emerged that the Tottenham defender Kaboul has spoken with the goalkeeper about life at Tottenham.

Tottenham have come on leaps and bounds in the last few seasons after they have finished in the top four twice in the last three seasons. This would have been almost unimaginable five seasons ago, but Tottenham are now closer to establishing himself as a member of the top four.

As a result, they have been able to attract a number of high quality players like Luka Modric. Hugo Lloris is expected to be the next major arrival at the club in addition to Emmanuel Adebayor, who is also close to sealing a move to the club. The 26-year-old has been in the eyes of many top European clubs for quite a while now, and has even been linked with the main Spurs rivals – though he hasn’t been spooted in an arsenal tshirt just yet!

“I talked about Tottenham with Lloris on the telephone. It will be great for him to play with us. It will be difficult for me to move. I am happy in Tottenham. I was very sad to not be included the in squad for the Euros because I had a good season with Tottenham. I can’t lose time. I must play. I don’t want watch the World Cup 2014 on TV,” said the 25-year-old defender in a recent interview given to a French magazine about his future.

AVB UNSURE ON EUROPE

New Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas has said that he is not sure whether he will give Europa league the full attention after he has refused to commit to naming a strong starting line-up.

New Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas has said that he is not sure whether he will give Europa league the full attention after he has refused to commit to naming a strong starting line-up.

The Europa league has often been viewed as a distraction by many managers in their attempts to finish higher in the Premier league. Even after winning the trophy, the financial advantages are extremely low. It is one of the main reasons for managers to avoid playing their full strength teams in the Europa league. Harry Redknapp adopted this same policy at Tottenham, which paid dividends in the form of two fourth place finish in four seasons.

The Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas has also refused to commit to playing a strong starting line-up in these matches. Tottenham have qualified for the Europa league automatically after finishing in fourth position last season. Normally, it would have given them the opportunity to play in the Champions League qualification stages, but because of the title victory for Chelsea last season, they have to play in the Europa league. Tottenham have already secured the signing of the Belgian defender from Ajax, while they are looking to seal the deal for Emmanuel Adebayor on a permanent basis.

“We would like to compete in the four competitions differently – particularly in the Europa League, which is the first European competition I won, and the only one. Hopefully I’ll get some more in the future. It’s also a competition which has so much history in this club, so we would like to extend our competition, in terms of titles, to all of them. I’m going to choose regarding what I see in training, because I’ve always done that,” said Andre Villas-Boas in a recent press conference. Andre Villas-Boas has already won the Europa league with FC Porto.

HARRY WANTS NEW CONTRACT

Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp has said that he wants to sign a new contract with the club and is ready to talk with the board regarding an extension. The former Portsmouth manager has only one year left on his current deal, with Tottenham yet to offer him a new contract.

Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp has said that he wants to sign a new contract with the club and is ready to talk with the board regarding an extension. The former Portsmouth manager has only one year left on his current deal, with Tottenham yet to offer him a new contract.

It is thought that his differences with chairman Daniel Levy is responsible for the lack of interest from the club to extend his contract. However, Harry Redknapp has come out publicly and said that he wants to extend his Tottenham stay. He has managed to transform the image of Tottenham and has brought excellent success on the field.

Even though the club has failed to qualify for the Champions League for the second consecutive season, they have come extremely close to achieving the same. Tottenham finished the season in the fourth position, but were denied the opportunity to play in the Champions League next season due to the fact that Chelsea FC were in the competition as the competition winners and the defending club.

Harry Redknapp was linked heavily with the England managerial job, which was ultimately given to former West Brom manager Roy Hodgson. Now that the England Football speculation is behind him, Redknapp has said that he wants to extend his Tottenham contract.

“I’ve never had a problem with Daniel Levy. I’ve probably got on as well with Daniel as I could any… People keep talking about our relationship. I’ve never had a minute’s problem with Daniel Levy in terms of falling out with him or whatever. I don’t even know where that comes from. The simple situation is, I’ve got a year left on my contract. It’s up to Tottenham whether they want to extend that contract or not,” said Harry Redknapp when speaking on the Sky Sports News.

ADEBAYOR WANTS SPURS STAY

Manchester City’s on loan striker Emmanuel Adebayor has said that he is extremely keen to stay in London with Tottenham next season.

Emmanuel Adebayor joined Tottenham on a loan deal till the end of the season. He has proven to be a massive hit with the club after getting them to the top four finish once again.

Manchester City’s on loan striker Emmanuel Adebayor has said that he is extremely keen to stay in London with Tottenham next season.

Emmanuel Adebayor joined Tottenham on a loan deal till the end of the season. He has proven to be a massive hit with the club after getting them to the top four finish once again.

Even though the club finished in the top four a few seasons ago, this has been a much better achievement given the football they have played during the season. Emmanuel Adebayor has been a major part of it, and the striker reckons that he wants to make the loan deal a permanent one in the summer.

Another major stumbling blocks in his wish to become a Tottenham player permanently would be his wages, which is currently around £ 170,000 per week. He is currently able to play for Tottenham only because Manchester City are subsidising his wages to a great extent. Harry Redknapp said a few weeks ago that it would almost be impossible to sign the player permanently due to his astronomical wage demands. It remains to be seen if the former Arsenal striker will be able to take a wage cut to join Tottenham on a permanent deal.

“I don’t know yet whether I’ll be here or not next year but my first choice now would be to stay at Tottenham. I am not going to go on my knees and beg anyone; this is for others to sort out. If a deal can be done, then fine. I would love to play for Tottenham. If not, then trust me, I will keep Tottenham in my heart. I am a huge fan of Tottenham now and I love the club. If I am not at the club in the future, I will be following their games and wishing them luck,” said Adebayor.

WHY I HATE SPURS

On the surface Tottenham seem to be a likable team, with a likable manager, likable fans and a proud history. This is however not the case. They are not everyone’s second team, they have not somehow become the best side in London and they are not a likable club.

On the surface Tottenham seem to be a likable team, with a likable manager, likable fans and a proud history. This is however not the case. They are not everyone’s second team, they have not somehow become the best side in London and they are not a likable club.

Firstly their manager. Redknapp is being heralded as the next England manager, he seems to be almost everyone’s choice but the man is a crook. Yes, he was found not guilty of tax evasion and technically has not broken the law, but a bank account set up in his dog’s name, being paid into a Monaco bank account, the lack of transparency in his accounts.

The Spurs fans provide further reason to turn on their club. When Adebayour was playing for Arsenal and again when he played for Real Madrid against Tottenham they were heard singing racist songs about him, suggesting his “dad washes elephants” and his “mum is a whore”. Spurs sign him and they instantly take him to their hearts, chastising anyone who sings the songs they invented. I am not defending the singing of that song, it is repulsive, but the hypocrisy of the Spurs fans makes me sick.

The Spurs fans, the players, the manager and the owners all now seem to think that Tottenham are the best team in London. They have yet to finish a Premiership season in this position. They have had one season in the Champions League, finishing behind both Arsenal and Chelsea, and they proved they are not on a par with the City rivals by dropping out of Europe’s premier competition after one season.

They now find themselves as the highest placed London side in the table but only because of appalling season’s for both Arsenal and Chelsea and Tottenham’s decision to disregard the Europa League where they failed to make it out of a group where their opponents were Shamrock Rovers, Rubin Kazan and PAOK. Compare this to Arsenal and Chelsea who have both made it to the round of 16 in the Champions League in relatively under achieving seasons.

So as for Tottenham being everyone’s second side and one of the country’s most likable sides. Don’t make me laugh. They are far from it. Their fans, their manager and their attitude stinks and it is about time the rest of the country saw them for what they are.

GOMES IS BRILLIANT

If only Huerelho Gomes played in nets for Spurs every week!!

Sadly he’s been demoted to deputy goalkeeper this season, with Brad Friedel taking his place between the posts, but not before he’s had his fair share of blunders.

Over the past few seasons he must have personally cost Tottenham at least 20 points, and also managed to drop this clanger in their match against Real Madrid last season! When you’re playing against Ronaldo, Kaka et al, THIS is exactly what you don’t need!

Modric Out if Spurs Finish 5th

Tottenham have a huge task on their hands this summer as Manchester United have made Luka Modric their number one transfer target. The little Croatian has been sitting in the Tottenham Hospitality seats recently, rather than on the pitch, and has been targeted by the red devils who are prepared to offer in the region of £25million to make the switch to Old Trafford.

Tottenham have a huge task on their hands this summer as Manchester United have made Luka Modric their number one transfer target. The little Croatian has been sitting in the Tottenham Hospitality seats recently, rather than on the pitch, and has been targeted by the red devils who are prepared to offer in the region of £25million to make the switch to Old Trafford.

Luka Modric signed for Spurs from Dinamo Zagreb in 2008, after performing exceptionally well in the European championship with Croatia. The Croatian put pen to paper shortly after the tournament had ended, on a six-year contract in a fee worth £16.5 million.

Luka Modric will have to weigh up his options. A lot will depend on where Spurs finish come the end of the season. If Spurs manage to claim the illustrious fourth spot then there is more of a possibility that the Croatian wizard will stay put. However, if they end up finishing fifth, then Luka Modric could be tempted to move to the red devils next season to play champions league football.

Modric leaving Spurs would be like Steven Gerrard leaving Anfield, something unthinkable and beyond comprehension. Selling players of Modric’s quality certainly won’t go down well with the Spurs faithful.
