Three games played, two against ‘Big Four’ teams. Seven points gained altogether, which is pretty much title-winning form rather than that of a team at the foot of the Premier League. While Tottenham’s late comeback to draw 4-4 with Arsenal was bordering on the inexplicable, the 2-1 win over Liverpool was more easily understood as […]

There are problems all over the pitch for Spurs at the moment. They’re conceding soft goals, they haven’t got a midfielder who can dictate the pace of the game and their front men don’t look like rippling the onion bag all too often. Indeed, it could easily be a season of struggle for the men […]

After losing Robbie Keane and Dimitar Berbatov this summer, it was important for Spurs to replace them with a quality signing or two. Surely Juande Ramos had to find a forward that could link up with Darren Bent and help his team score plenty of goals in the process, catapulting them towards the UEFA Cup […]

Martin Jol loves his attacking football. This time a year ago, he had acquired Darren Bent from Charlton, and was seriously considering a system whereby the player could line up in a three-pronged attack with Robbie Keane and Dimitar Berbatov, perhaps bringing on Jermain Defoe for extra spice and gung-ho attitude.

Yesterday Cardiff City announced the signing of an ex-Premiership striker and the future looked rosy. This morning, it emerges that they have scrapped the deal as the stiker looked elsewhere before committing to Ninian Park.

The Guardian reports that Tottenham’s gaffer Juande Ramos wants to try his hand at some Premier League alchemy. He’s looking to swap half a packet of Prawn Cocktail crisps (Darren Bent), some used bog roll (Paul Robinson) and a handful of change for Blackburn’s gobby golden boy (David Bentley).

The Sun reckons that after running his gaze over Andy Johnson and James Beattie, Roy Keane has finally settled on a striker that he thinks will shoot Sunderland up the league, none other than peripheral extortionate Spurs signing Darren Bent.

Goodness me, who could have predicted the scoreline at White Hart Lane on Sunday? Newcastle had only just managed to win a match under Kevin Keegan when all of a sudden, the exciting football promised by the messiah starts to arrive in London of all places! Presumably that’s because people prefer going to the theatre […]

There are easier tasks than displacing either Dimitar Berbatov or Robbie Keane in the Tottenham starting line-up, yet that’s exactly what Darren Bent is determined to do, according to Sky Sports. The striker was on target during Spurs’ 4-0 win over West Ham and is keen to show Juande Ramos more of the same.
When asked […]

Tottenham Hotspur signed Darren Bent from Charlton Athletic for £16 million last summer. For a player who came with that price tag, the England international has been largely unsuccessful in grooving himself into the Spurs set-up and has been anonymous at best so far this season in the Premiership. He has not been regular at […]
