It seems there is one thing on earth which can unite both Spurs legends and a hero of the Highbury North Bank and it’s all about a certain game at The Library tomorrow (whoops, seem to be showing my colours a bit early here, I promise I’m trying to stay neutral while writing this. As [...]

Seems like Rafa Benitez is getting a taste of his own medicine this week as Real Madrid’s football director Benito Floro announced that he wanted to sign Steven Gerrard to spearhead his overhaul of the Madrid playing staff in the summer.
Gerrard’s “will he, won’t he” contract saga last summer became one of the most talked [...]

I know I’ve caused some problems this week amongst my fellow Spurs fans with my deeply held views on the World Cup and Spurs players’ participation. I stand by those comments and will continue to do so.

There can’t have been many more colourful players to have played the game over the past couple of decades than Colombian goalkeeper Rene Higuita.

I wasn’t going to go back over the ground I covered yesterday with the Rangers/Celtic bigotry thread but as UEFA have came out with their reasons on why they deemed the “Billy Boys” song is not sectarian and bigoted I think I better comment anyway.

Let’s be honest, not even The Sun or the News of the World could come up with a ludicrous headline like that and mean it but, true to form, UEFA have cleared Rangers fans today of being bigots and chanting sectarian abuse during their Champion’s League exit against Villareal.
They were found guilty of breaking a [...]

With echoes of Pele, George Best and Franz Beckenbauer in the 1970s, David Beckham has said he would love to finish his career in the USA playing Major League Soccer. While he’s not planning on leaving Real Madrid for another three years, it would seem like a natural progression for a player with such a [...]
