Having been unable to post for the last couple of days, I thought it only right and proper to do a mass sweep of all that has been going on in that weired and wonderful world they call Spursland. My main problem when doing this was not only where to begin but also on what to include! I say this because although, as is often the case with our beloved Spurs, there has been much written, published and regurgitated on numerous occasions, the problem for all of us Joe Bloggs is what to believe and what is just the sour ramblings of a fleet street journo or wannabe ITK.So I decided to skim off the fat and write about what is either 100% fact or pretty much common knowledge, (even this can be difficult with the Lillywhites)!
So as the faithful once again make their way up the Tottenham High Road through the empty pizza boxes and nightclub flyer's, we await the first and only home game of the pre-season programme against AS Roma, in what should be a good warm up and welcome to all the newbie players.
Our pre-season schedule thus far has been a success, (injuries to key players aside)and this has included an 8-0 and two 5-1 wins. The highlight though has arguably been the surprise success of what may be our one recognised striker remaining at the club (Darren Bent) after the anticipated departure of Dimitar Berbatov, a man who makes Nicolas Anelka look positively ecstatic.
Our latest pre-season outing saw a swaggering, confident Spurs ease part German giants Borrusia Dortmund by 3-0.
On the transfer front we have said goodbyes to Troy A.H, Anthony Gardner and Leigh Mills, all on loan and as we had reported previously, David Bently was at last given his move to the Lane and made his debut in pre-sason. See the right hand panel on this page for all In's and outs!
The rumours are constant and numerous. According to many sources, but strangely not a confused Man City, we are very close to signing Verdan Corluka. The 22 year old Croat defender is an international team mate of out own Luka Modric and would add some much needed defensive cover to the side. Ceaser Sanchez, the 36 year old goal keeper of Real Zaragoza is also tipped to be next on the 'IN' conveyor belt as cover for our new number 1. Finally, the Andrei Arshavin saga rumbles on with the skillful attacking player reported to have gone on strike at Zenit in order to get his move to Spurs. This 1 may go on and on and........
And Finally.....
Spurs last week announced that we now have our very own motor racing team with the Spurs car to be unveiled on Sunday at the Lane. The Club will become the first Barclays Premier League team to join the football-themed motor racing championship, Superleague Formula.
Our Spurs colours will be on one of the 750 horsepower, V12 powered Superleague Formula Panoz chassis and will first race at Donington Park on August 30/31.
Lets hope the football team is also revved up and ready to go!
