Spur-less?




Whoever came up with the phrase that life is tough at the top, certainly hit the nail right on the head when it comes to the team that is eventually crowned as champions of the Premier League. 
Quite possibly the saying takes even greater importance and becomes even more intense with each season that passes, when the fancied runners and riders are chasing those all important league positions for Champions League qualification.

Last season Tottenham played some scintillating football to match Manchester City impressive early season form, and at one stage many were considering Spurs as genuine title contenders. 
Despite finishing fourth in the Premier League which normally is much coveted, the Lilywhites came up short in their quest for a Champions League berth for this season’s competition due to Chelsea’s automatic entry as defending holders. An avenue I like to call the Liverpool FC trapdoor route.

Putting that all aside and my need to do a bit of Tottenham Hotspur housekeeping, with a change of manager and an apparent high level of player outgoings during this transfer window, are Spurs going to be more fortunate this season and find a path to once again shine on Europe’s biggest club stage?  We like always will discuss.

Post-Olympic Blues



Okay folks it has been two weeks since the 2012 London Games ended and if you are like me you may have been suffering from some serious withdrawal symptoms ever since. No more round the clock top-level sporting action to feast on, and no more jubilant scenes when competing nations and their athletes win medals, record personal best or just even represent their country.

However, those of us desperate to get our multi-sport fix can do so once again with the Paralympics rapidly approaching. But what can we make of the London Games in its aftermath? Well check out our review of the event, its highlights, and what it brought to the city of London.
