Farewell then, little man. There’s a time and a place to discuss Aaron Lennon’s shortcomings, but today isn’t it. Lennon has agreed to leave Tottenham after almost ten years and will join Steve Bruce’s Hull City on-loan until the end of the season. The obituary of his time at White Hart Lane will be written(…)

There was a time, a couple of years ago, that Aaron Lennon was almost as integral to Tottenham’s success as Gareth Bale was in 2012/13. In truth, Spurs were never as reliant on Lennon as they became on Bale, but he was often the spark in the Martin Jol/Juande Ramos days, the player who was(…)

A couple of years ago, the idea of Aaron Lennon not being an automatic starter for Tottenham was preposterous: during the Martin Jol years, and the early part of Harry Redknapp’s tenure, Lennon was Spurs’ predominant game-breaker.

All things considered yesterday, Tottenham’s performance against Everton really wasn’t that bad. Obviously, such an opinion doesn’t tie in with the party line about Spurs being utterly useless without Gareth Bale, but so be it. The truth is, that with or without their best player, this Tottenham squad is still full of extremely talented players(…)

While we’re waiting for this evening’s games, let’s take one more look back at one of the goals from the weekend. Tottenham’s second goal against Swansea came, yet again, from the left foot of Gareth Bale - but there was far more to it that just the Welshman’s admittedly stunning finish. Step-by-step… One of the(…)

If you believe all the press reports flying around at the moment, the only player Tottenham will have left in their squad next season is David Bentley. Everybody else is off, they’re all being sold, all of them - Barcelona, Real Madrid, Manchester United, all the big clubs want all of Andre Villas-Boas’ players. Not(…)
