Are we on our way to Wembley ?

 BBC SPORT | Football | League Cup | Watford 1-2 Tottenham

It was not vintage but we managed to do enough to get past Watford and into the semi-final of the Carling Cup. We just needed a little more quality when it mattered and we could’ve won this game at a canter.

Jonanthan Woodgate summed it up when he was presented with the man of the match award when he said "What game were they watching ?"

Spoken like a true Captain

 Tottenham defender Ledley King calls for improvement to escape relegation fight: Football - Telegraph

Ledley King tells it exactly like it is and more than anything at the moment we need honesty from all the players.

We’ve still got a long way to go

 BBC SPORT | Football | Premier League | Tottenham 0-1 Everton

I had hoped we could make it Fortress White Hart Lane under ‘Arry ; this result shows that hope is still a long way away. I’ve been saying since even Jol’s days that we have to beat teams like Everton. It’s the only way of measuring progress if you beat the middle ranking teams as it were on a regular basis.

‘Arry and today’s game at Everton

 Tottenhamhotspur.com - News Articles - Harry’s programme notes

In preparation for today’s game against Everton, ‘Arry tells it how it is. One thing that made me laugh was we’ve got rid of one goalkeeping coach and we’ve now got three more ! We must have the biggest backroom staff in the country.

Looks like we’re through

 BBC SPORT | Football | Europe | NEC Nijmegen 0-1 Tottenham

It was a less than vintage performance and some of our players such as Huddlestone were embarrassingly bad but at least it looks like we’re through to the knockout stages (where we’re probably get AC Milan !) NEC weren’t up to much although at 1-0 there’s always a chance with Tottenham of throwing it away.

One good half doesn’t make you an England player

 Sky Sports | Football News | Premier League | Tottenham Hotspur | Lennon eyes England return

There’s no doubt Lennon was our best player yesterday but that doesn’t make him an England player. Instead of going on and inflicting more damage on Blackburn, he was as poor as the rest of the team in the second half . He shouldn’t get ideas above his station which is a nippy player lacking in match winning quality.
