We're here at White Hart Lane for the third match of the season, featuring Tottenham Hotspurs and Wigan Athletic. Spurs go in with the first chance and are expected to duly deliver against the relegation favourite side, Wigan.

Spurs will play a 4-3-3 formation, with Harry Kane upfront, marking his debut, and Jan Vertonghen also making his debut in the CB position. The game is now underway.

Spurs are on the attack, and Al Habsi fails the clearance, with the ball falling to Douglas Costa whom, hugging the line, puts the ball in the empty net to make it 1-0 for Spurs. Wigan are playing dreadful, and are sitting in their own half everytime.

Halftime Spurs 1 Wigan 0

Defoe is coming on for Dembele, and Kane will move down to the AMC position. The ball is passed perfectly to Defoe, and he strikes it with real venom, hitting the left post and going in.

Fulltime Spurs 2 Wigan 0

And here we are again on White Hart Lane for the match between Tottenham Hotspurs and Hannover, in the EL groups. Spurs will feature their 4-2-3-1 wide formation, and Defoe will start as a striker, having the Lennon, Sigguroson and Douglas Costa trio behind him.

The game kicks off, and Spurs are dominating the match. Douglas Costa sprints on the right side, leaving the ball beautifully for McCarthy who cuts inside and passes it to Siggy to make the game 1-0 for Spurs.

Again, Spurs push forward with McCarthy dribbling from his own half, laying it down to Defoe who delivers a powerful half volley to the left top corner. 2-0 for Spurs.

Corner time, and Siggy curls the ball inside the box, with Subotic picking it up with a beautiful volley! Its 3-0 for Spurs!

Half Time.

Pretty dull second half, but now Hannover are attacking. Abdellaoue is on the ball, he tricks Caulker and turns around, smashing the ball past Friedel.
3-1.

The game is close to an end, as the ball is layed down to Siggy, who makes it 4-1 and brings an end to Hannover's suffering.

Fulltime: Spurs 4 Hannover 1

Tottenham announce the signing of Romanian defender Vlad Chiriches, and will finalize the signing at the end of the English season. Tottenham will play a fee of 3.600.000 pounds, and Chiriches will be on a 45.000 p/w.

"Chiriches is a great ball playing defender. He can shoot towards the net, is physical, he has great standing and diving tackles and his stamina won't let you down. He's a great player, and if we will polish him abit, he'll turn into one of the best Romanian players."

Never heard of him but he looks decent and if you can train him right, he could be good. I like this story so far. Keep going!

And we have returned. Up next, Tottenham will face West Bromwich albion.

So far, the game has been very poor, with the half time score being 0-0. Tottenham look like they might do something, but their finishing have been extremely poor for some reason. Also, they seem to have abit of struggle with fitness.

Sigguroson is going to come on in place of Aaron Lennon. Spurs are on the attack. They lay down the ball to Siggy-... GOAL SPURS! 77th minute, and Spurs take the lead!

Fulltime Spurs 1 WBA 0

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now we're at Stamford Bridge for the match between Chelsea and Spurs.

Chelsea are dominating the game at the moment, but Spurs have been getting their shots on target. Spurs are on the move, and McCarthy lays the ball down to Livermore. LIVERMOREEE GOAL! Goal Spurs! Its 1-0!

Halftime Chelsea 0 Spurs 1

And we're now in the second half. Chelsea are again dominating the game, and Torres comes on instead of Mata. Hazard dribbles through Spurs's heart, and hits the ball for the top corner, but Lloris is there to save them.

We're close to the end, and its the 87th minute. Mikel hits the ball in the box, and Torres picks it up for a late equalizer. Its 1-1.

Full time 1-1.

Well, a few more matches have gone through, and they're not really worth writing paragraphs on.

A bore draw with Sunderland, 0-0.
A 1-1 draw with United, with Defoe and Chicharito scoring.
A 2-1 defeat against Liverpool, Agger and Suarez scoring for Liverpool, while Dawson scoring for us.
We also defeated Norwich 1-0, with a great goal from Lopez, done by a superb Bale assist.

We have also defeated Sheffield Wednesday, 4-3. Bale scored a brace, McCarthy and Livermore also banging one each for us. In Sheffield's case, McCabe, Madine and Lita scored.

We have been defeated 2-0 by Copenhagen, after a DREADFUL performance. Jorgensen and Cesar Santin scored for the Danish side.
YEAH BABY YEAH !!!

Tottenham Hotspurs - Hull City.

The game will start with Tottenham dominating Hull, and not letting them get out of their half. Fryat breaks out on the counter, and bags it in to make it 1-0 for Hull. Quickly after, in the 14th minute, Defoe equalizes.

Soon after, Spurs are again on the attack, and Dembele sends in a scorcher, to make it 2-1 for Spurs. Now its Half time.

The second half kicks off, and, in the 65th minute, Fryatt makes 2-2, bagging a brace. The rest of the match is poor, and the teams go into extra time. Quickly, in the 92th minute, Naughton bags in the winner, and Spurs are through to the quarters.

Full time: Spurs 3 Hull City 2
Just a tip, I'd do monthly updates instead of update per game. It makes it better to read imho. I'll still read though :)
Appreciate the tips.

November update


The end of the year is near, and teams are getting in better and better forms. Spurs for example, not in the best of forms. Can they turn it around? Lets see.

Southampton 2 Spurs 0
Goals: Gaston Ramirez; Rickie Lambert {Pen}

An overall bad game for us, but pretty good for Southampton. They were incisive and made each chance count, while we failed to take our chances and ultimately lost. Livermore and Naughton have very good performances, and both of them are good rotation players, and will be some great first team players.

Spurs 2 FC Vaslui 0
Goals: Younes Kaboul, James McCarthy

We had an average game, but we managed to get the win we needed. Our form is getting better and better, which is encouraging, and hopefully we will pick the points we lost in our awful form against Southampton and others.


Fulham 2 Spurs 3
Goals: Sidwell, Hugo Rodallega - Younes Kaboul, Jermaine Defoe(x2)

Awful game from us, we needed to win, but in the end we won with a brace in the last 5 minutes, from Defoe. He scored in the 86th and 89th minutes, as Fulham couldn't cope with us anymore.


Hannover 2 Spurs 2
Goals: Pinto, Mohammed Abdellaoue - Lisandro Lopez, Steven Caulker

Again, another average performance for us. Abdellaoue almost won the game for them in the 86th minute, but Caulker got us the equalized in the 93rd minute. Good stuff from our young players.


Spurs 4 Aston Villa 0
Goals: Younes Kaboul, Jermaine Defoe, Gylfi Siggurosson (pen), Gareth Bale

GREAT performance, good for morale. Sums it up. Everyone did what they were needed to do. Encouraging form.


Spurs 2 Newcastle 0
Goals: Aaron Lennon, Harry Kane

Not a bad performance. Lennon scored a total fluke goal here, and I'm glad he did, to be frank. Kane was brought on late, and he made sure we win this game.

December update


And December is over, and hell, what a month. Up and downs.

Capital Cup: Spurs 4 Liverpool 0
Goals: Dembele x2, Defoe x2.

BEAUTIFUL match. We performed very well against a Liverpool side, and we are continuing our great campaign. Dembele has easily became one of my best players, and its great to see Defoe is so good.

Europa League: Spurs 1 Kobenhaven 0
Goals: James McCarthy.

Nothing much to say about this game, we played decent, but were not at our best.

Premier League: Spurs 3 Everton 0
Goals: Jermaine Defoe, Moussa Dembele, Younes Kaboul

Well, great match. We're doing very well in the league, and its very good. Sure, Lopez is being a bitch and not scoring so often, but hey.

Premier League: Arsenal 0 Spurs 3
Goals: Aaron Lennon x2, Jermaine Defoe

Ah, what a match. We performed fabulously, and got a huge win over our worst enemies. Good job squad, good job.

Premier League: Man City 0 Spurs 0

Nothing much to say. We held them to a draw.


Premier League: Spurs 3 West ham 3
Goals: Lisandro Lopez(pen), Michael Dawson, James McCarthy - Winston Reid, Maiga, Martin Spellman

I'm distraught. We had them 3-0 till the 65th minute, but then we flopped completely and they drew it. No excuses.


Premier League: Reading 2 Spurs 2
Goals: Le Fondre x2 - Neven Subotic, Jake Livermore

We could've get more. Reading played well though.


Premier League: Spurs 2 Stoke 0
Goals: Defoe x2

Decent match.

Premier League: Swansea 0 Spurs 1
Goals: Bale.

Didn't enjoy it. We were weak and unfit, but we got the win.

And finally its January, marking the middle of the season. Currently, Tottenham have been performing well, but nothing like United, who are first in the league. Fulham and Stoke are the league's surprises, as they are performing far better than expected.

Also, being January, it means it times for free transfers. Tottenham Hotspurs have moved in already for several players, ensuring a free transfer, as David Ospina will join the team once his contract ends.

Lacina Traore, who is transfer listed, has been bought by Tottenham Hotspurs for a fee of 9.000.000, and will join the squad immediately, while STEPHAN EL SHAARAWY will join the team at the end of the season, for a fee of 21.500.000.

Last but not least, youngster Jonathan Dos Santos will join the team on a loan from Barcelona.
