Spurs Get Beat By First Real Team They Play [HD Highlights]

Escapini — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 09:34:17 +0000

Oh dear. It’s all over. Champions League? Based upon last night we would have struggled to get on ‘We Are The Champions’ (RIP Ron Pickering).

Villa Real gave Tottenham a culture shock last night after the run of largely low quality recent MLS games. Guiseppe Rossi hit a hat-trick which of course didn’t help and the Tottenham team as you can see from the substitutions, was subjected to a revolving door ...

WAGB*tch!

Joe Cole’s Carly Cole is nothing but a survivor. Having been torn from her home with nothing but her husbands millions to support her news has reached us that not only been foraging in Liverpool One, but pimped out her four month old baby girl to a modeling agency. Has anyone got UNICEF’s Meals On Wheels’ number?

Just as I was getting withdrawal symptoms from Mrs Lineker’s vacuous daytime TV appearances ...

£25 Million Deal Done, Ireland Staying & Bellamy Stock Takes An Upswing!

Escapini — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 14:30:57 +0000

Another bleak day for English football. A perhaps ‘better than average’ footballer has been sold for an extraordinary amount of money speculatively pumped in by a foreign investor.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not having a childish dig at Manchester City here, it’s just I have to ask the question, ‘Where is this actually going?’ I could see what Chelsea were up to when they went on their spending spree of Abramovich’s millions.

I can understand ...

Has Martin Jol Lost The Plot Swapping A £25M Goal Machine For A Pair Of Tottenham Flops?

Escapini — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 10:32:22 +0000

Ajax, the Windy City...

Even the most ardent Martin Jol supporters acknowledge that his judgement was occasionally a bit on the questionable side. This development rubber stamps any question marks there might have been hanging over him.

The scenario ready to unfold has to be the most optimistic deal since Jack exchanged his cow for ‘some beans’.

Ajax striker Luis Suarez is nothing shy of a sensation. The 23-year-old has been in devastating ...

Liverpool Now Making Enquiries For Two Tottenham Players

Escapini — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 09:22:22 +0000

Mains Burst At Wax Museum

Funny old game Saint.

On the heels of the news recently here at The Tavern that Roy Hodgson’s search for a left back had led to him looking at Tottenham’s Benoit Assou Ekotto, it’s now emerging that speculation by The Times the other week wasn’t too shabby at all.

The new Liverpool manager has only had it confirmed in the last few days that Fernando Torres was committing. ...

Spurs Have Signed A Great Man And Here’s The Interview To Prove It…

Escapini — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 08:22:49 +0000

Eagerly awaited is probably an understatement. Sandro not only swerved joining Arsenal en route to White Hart Lane, but he comes with a good pedigree. Internacional are a quality outfit and the 21 year old defensive midfielder looks like he could be one of those rare things, a benchmark signing.

Where he will fit into Harry’s squad isn’t difficult to work out. He has a style that would contrast and compliment ...

Can This Spurs Failure Rekindle His Career?

Escapini — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 11:29:38 +0000

'Operator, this is the call of the wild'

Kevin-Prince Boateng is that rare thing. A footballer who had a good 2010 World Cup.

The Prince was unfortunately another one of the White Hart Lane nearly men. A player who promised lots, looked the part but failed to deliver on so many levels… A move to Portsmouth showed some signs of genuine improvement. But his performances in the World Cup were ...

Levy Going All Out To Snatch World Cup Star From Utd

Escapini — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 09:45:13 +0000

Manchester United are making noises that they will have the necessary finances to secure the ‘right’ player. Presumably this means Ozil, so that’s big of them in relation to a player supposedly valued at £12-£15million. But what of course does reflect is their understandable confidence in the ‘allure’ of the Manchester United brand.

Let’s face facts, it’s worked before and it’ll work again.

The player who did his best to set light ...

England Star Will Be The Catalyst For Any Spurs, Villa And City Deals

Escapini — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 08:45:42 +0000

Hold tight please....

An interesting comment on Spurs Community in relation to the current Mexican Stand Off in the Premiership at the moment. Three very ambitious sides are in what can only be described as a ‘holding pattern’ and one man will be the catalyst to get things moving. And that is the multi-million dollar man himself, James Milner.

Milner’s transfer is by no means inevitable, but my prediction is that this will be ...

Mesut Ozil Spotted At The Airport

Escapini — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 15:39:21 +0000

The name very firmly in the Transfer Tavern’s frame earlier today (no drinks or cigarettes over the table, please) has been spotted landing in the UK.

At Manchester Airport…

The source is a chap by the name of Cheltenham Red on top United forum Red Cafe.

The Tavern knows that David Gill is minding the shop whilst Sir Alex is away and it is Gill that oversees this end of the business anyway.

If ...
