While the weekend's football may have been dominated by FA Cup upsets, for the red corner of North London, Sunday March 9th was memorable for a more unusual reason. St.Totteringham's Day is one of those arcane bits of football rivalry that makes the game so enjoyable. It falls every season on the day when it becomes mathematically impossible for Spurs to overtake rivals Arsenal in the Premier League. Despite the Gooner's anaemic draw against......

The world of English football wobbled a few degrees off its axis yesterday when a club not called Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester United or Liverpool won a major trophy. This hadn't happened for four years, since Middlesbrough were victorious in the Football League Cup final against Bolton, but Jonathan Woodgate's one-two with Petr Cech ensured that Tottenham Hotspur would claim their first proper silverware since they won the same competition in 1999 under the stewardship......

In part two of our follow up to last year's article on which player's our Premiership clubs should buy we cover Tottenham, West Ham and Fulham. Click here to see yesterday's piece on Chelsea and Arsenal. TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR What was the problem position? Left wing. What did the club do about it? Like rivals Arsenal over their goalkeeping situation, not much. Indeed, Spurs eventually sacrificed England world cup winger Aaron Lennon to the ol'......

In last week's Preview, we acknowledged the fact that our prediction skills were lacking somewhat, so we thought that we'd give Paresh, the newsagent at Wanstead tube station, a chance to have a go instead. Paresh let us down. He got two right, which is no better than our recent efforts. Paresh has expressed his remorse over this sorry performance, but we are afraid that now we have no option but to go and......

Last night, Spurs beat Forest 3-0 at the City Ground in an FA Cup fifth round replay, and they now join North London neighbours Arsenal in the quarter-finals. Their manager, Martin Jol, who has been credited with the latest Tottenham revival, is suuposedly now the target of Ajax of Amsterdam, who are currently without a coach after the resignation of Dutch legend, Ronald Koeman. This morning, we learn that Rinus Michels has passed away.......

José Mourinho won his first tournament as Chelsea boss yesterday, but lost a few friends and supporters in the process. After his petulant outbursts before the Barça game, followed by the silly accusations after that game, he was sent off during the Carling Cup Final for taunting the Liverpool fans after Chelsea equalised. On the pitch, the game was a much more tame affair. Liverpool scored after about 40 seconds, after which Chelsea dominated......

Mido. Sounds like a continental supermarket chain. Or maybe Sweden's entry in this year's Eurovision Song Contest. But no, Mido is neither of things. In fact, Mido is Spurs' new Egyptian striker (The Sun headline writers must be rubbing their hands with glee...), a player who has just arrived in Edmonton on loan from Roma and who crash-landed in the Premiership on Saturday with a brace of goals and some nice touches of skill. Welcome......

Alex’s Premiership Roundup: A weekend of Premiership fixtures. Just another staging point in a league that is rapidly rivalling Scotland's for the title of 'most predictable in Europe'? Or a moment of truth for every one of the teams involved, each locked in a desperate fight to stay and thrive in the cash cow that is our top flight? It felt like the latter for some of London's clubs this weekend. For Crystal Palace,......
