Not sure if Jah Lush agrees, but I think Spurs' defence is just as good as the best in the premiership. I never thought I would say that in my lifetime.


I'm looking forward to the game involving Spurs v Man City on the 22nd. A defining moment for both teams. Interesting tug of war type game with Spurs playing with wingers and City pushing up their full backs.


If Spurs have a weakness then it's because they don't score enough goals.

The defence has been pretty solid especially when Ledley King plays. We've not lost with him in the side since August 2010. Unfortunately he can't play every game. What has also improved our defence is having Scott Parker in front of the back four. He does a lot of tidying up and gets plenty of tackles in to win the ball for us and give it to Luka Modric to work his magic. Sandro does a similar job but he's out injured again too.

Younis Kaboul has improved tremendously this season and has really benefited playing alongside King and the very experienced Willem Gallas who unfortunately is injured again. Michael Dawson is back tomorrow and so am I. Going on Wednesday too against Everton - our game in hand. If we can win that it'll show how much we've improved to stay in the top three ahead of Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool and will take us level on points with Man Utd.

I agree the 22nd against Man City could well be the defining moment in the season. It'll be a crucial game for both sides and we'll want revenge for the embarrassing trouncing we got at White Hart Lane early in the season. I'd be very happy with a draw up there and so would Man Utd with both teams dropping points.

People tend to forget that Spurs had a unsettling start to the season when Modric was under serious transfer speculation. It's not surprising they lost by a large margin to the two Manchester teams in their first two games. Look what happened to Arsenal with their unsettled start to the season. Spurs have shown tremendous character to get this far in the season.


A win against City will give Spurs a teriffic boost to their confidence and belief. It'll be a tight game at 1-0 to either side I think.

They were 130/1 for the title. If only.....if only.

It's a song my daughter has learned at singing classes. That's the only reason I looked into it. Was surprised when Wikipedia said spurs still played it. I wonder how many spurs fans know what it is.

Missed the match, and have only seen the reports today. I am assuming you're talking about the fan(s) behaviour rather than the scoreline (which in itself is a damn shame).


My response is the same as it would be for any other club. It is not the fault of the club that some of it's supporters are ignorant cunts. Assuming the individual(s) have been identified, they should be banned for life from attending matches, and if possible and appropriate, should be charged by the police.


It is a big shame that it has happened now, what with recent events, but I would absolutely refute any suggestion that Liverpool FC is in some way a racist football club.


It is also a big shame that a good result on the pitch has been overshadowed.

    • In case anyone is renovating or stripping out an old kitchen, I am looking for a base kitchen unit or carcass to house an oven for a temporary set up kitchen.   Also looking for a run of worktop at least 180 cm long if anyone is disposing of something like this, I would be happy to collect.   thanks   Mila
    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
