END OF THE MONTH
Absolutely elated with December. 5 wins and a draw. January is set to be a make or break month this season. Luka Modric is heavily linked with europes top clubs as is Aaron Lennon. I have no money to buy anyone but really want to sign Edin Dzeko. £17.5m needed. Im going to look to start Nicolas Otamendi in some more matches after some very successful sub appearances, Kevin Bond thinks he should start with Sebastian Bassong rather than Ledley King.

MORE AWARDS TO WHITE HART LANE
After last months Manager of the Month award for boss Chris Saunt, now the players have been awarded for the massive contribution and improvement for January.
Brazilian defensive midfielder Sandro won the Young Player of the Month trophy.
Croatian Luka Modric has also won the Player of the Month award.
Transfers In
The window was less quiet as for players coming was concerned for Tottenham but they did make 1 aquisition. A deadline day deal that brought David Di Gennaro of AC Milan to the club on loan for the rest of the season. A Loan Fee was paid for just £200k
Transfers Out
Corluka and Modric was pursued by Manchester United with Spurs rejecting several bids for the pair which would have saw Tottenham's bank bolster to the sum of £40m. As was the case for Lennon (£17m) which could have saw him off to Spainish side Barcelona. Bassong wasnt allowed to Real Madrid for £8m and Huddlestone to Liverpool for the same price.
Several deals did go through though all loan moves.
Kyle Naughton - Birmingham - End of Season
Kyle Walker - Ipswich - End of Season
Danny Rose - Brighton - End of Season
Jamie O'Hara - Bolton - End of Season (Ln Fee £150k)

END OF THE MONTH
Not the best month. Defeat in the Champions League but through in the FA Cup. 2 wins in the league but individual errors creaping in. A little rest for some players i think is required.
MORE AWARDS
The signing of Sandro for £10m from Internacional was questioned by the media stating it as a risk. Chris Saunt played that down when he signed and Sandro has really took the English game in his stride. Only 1 goal but its his defensive attributes in midfield that really impresses when ever he takes to the field. The month of Febuary 2011 has saw him scoop the same award he won last month. Young Player of the Month. Can he make it 3?

Dissapointing draw but glad to take them back to White Hart Lane
Champions League Match Day 8
AC Milan v Tottenham Hotspur
After being 3-0 down after the first leg this match promised to be either the most astonishing of comebacks or a great experience for the Tottenham players and fans alike. Thousands of fans have made the trip from North London and those who haven't been able to get a ticket have filled the pubs, clubs and bars of Milan. A roar of approximately 70,000 people packed in the ground can be heard as the superstars make the way onto the pitch.
Tottenham started the match very well, passing the ball around well and creating a number of early chances. It took only 9 minutes until they made one count and the man to do so was Jermain Defoe finishing off a great fluid Spurs move. Tottenham fans couldn't believe their eyes when just 11 minutes later they doubled their lead on the night to two, Jermain Defoe snapping up a chance again. 3-2 on aggergate now and Spurs could may just do this what was saw as an impossible task. That seemed to spark Milan into creating some chances but Gomes was more than equal to their efforts.
Spurs made it to half-time without conceding and started the second much the way they started the first but only testing the keeper from distance. AC Milan broke when Spurs had commited bodies foward and Ronaldinho scored a low shot from 25 yards. 4-2 Milan now on aggregate.
But Spurs headed straight up the otherend and one of those earlier efforts from distance came around with Modric and Riquelme linking up, Defoe got involved and cracked his shot against the crossbar.
The next goal would be crucial in this game ...
5 live commentary: Long ball to Lennon whose been hugging the touchline all game, chests down, runs at the full-backs, cuts inside, commits another defender, slides it through, AND ITS IN, JERMAIN DEFOE SMASHES IT IN, HAT-TRICK HERO! SPURS ARE BACK IN THIS MATCH ONCE AGAIN. ITS 4-3 ON AGGREGATE NOW, ONE MORE WILL SEND THEM THROUGH.
The Italian giants then started playing nervously but Daniele Bonera broke down the right and whipped a ball in. Alexandre Pato who had earlier been denied through the linesmen was unmarked in the box and rise and direct the cross into Gomes' net. A great header, 5-3 (Agg).
AC Milan then shut up shot and Spurs could not find a way through. It was a brave effort from Spurs but they had just been beating despite winning on the night.
AC Milan 2 - 3 Tottenham
AC Milan win 5-3 on Agg

(Lennon, Kallio(OG), Jenas. (Bassong OFF))
And the Spurs go marching on! ... in the FA Cup
-RECORD- Poorest Discipline - S.Bassong (10 Yellows, 2 Reds)
Tottenham club captain Ledley King has told Chris Saunt that he thinks Spurs are underachieving.
Saunt responded by asking King to set up a team meeting with the players and to do discuss the issue.
King reports that the team meeting has gone very well with everyone contributing and really gelling together. He also thinks results should follow as now everyone is pulling together to try and get that vital Champions League spot once again.
Premier League
Bolton 0 - 1 Tottenham
(Modric)
Great result. Lets hope i can push on from here
END OF THE MONTH
A record breaking month. 1 for Bassong which is not one to shout about. However a decent one for Highest scoring game and league game. Otamendi scored his first goal late on to ****** a very respectable point. The most pleasing record was the first appearance in the Champions League. I could have just as easily gone further on another day but it wasnt to be.
The targets i set myself at the begining of the season are now complete apart from the Premier League target of 4th but that is still possible with 8 games left. Also i am in with a shout of winning the FA Cup if i get past Man City in the Semi-Final at Wembley.

APRIL RESULTS
April would determine if Spurs had any chance of finishing in the 4th Champions League spot for the 2nd year running but it didn't start well
Premier League
Tottenham 0 - 1 Man City
Should Spurs have won this match it would have seen them leap-frog Man City into 4th spot with Man City having a few games in hand but it didn't happen. An abysmal effort in this game but would a win in the FA Cup against Man City again see them win a place in the final against Liverpool
FA Cup Semi-Final
Tottenham 2 - 0 Man City
(Defoe, Sandro)
A total transformation. A 2-0 win at Wembley and Tottenham had done it. A final appearance against Liverpool to the delight of the Spurs fans. Now concentration would be firmly be on the Premier League results to see how high they could finish.
Premier League
Tottenham 2 - 2 West Ham
(Defoe 2)
2-0 down at home to rivals West Ham sparked Jermain Defoe to score 2 goals against the side where he made his name to win Spurs a point. Despite the result this has to be saw as 2 vital points dropped.
Premier League
Wolves 3 - 1 Tottenham
(Modric)
Another 3 points dropped after Luka Modric had put them in a winning position. 1-1 going into the last 5 minutes Tottenham commited players foward to grab the win but it had the reserve effect as Wolves scored 2 in the dieing minutes.
END OF THE MONTH
A final confirmed in the FA Cup but shocking results in the league. A poor start to the season looks to be a poor finish with only three games left in the league.
MAY RESULTS
Premier League
Liverpool 2 - 1 Tottenham
(Modric)
Simply not good enough. A winning position yet again scupperd. An easier couple of games now with Cardiff and Hull.
Premier League
Tottenham 3 - 0 Cardiff
(Defoe, Jenas, Bale)
A win to end the season at White Hart Lane. A performance to go with it and 3 points that would certainly help boost the chase which now stands for the Europa League.
Premier League
Hull 1 - 1 Tottenham
(Otamendi)
End of the season, Spurs yet again throw away a win for a dismal draw. A 9th placed finish in the Premier League and now The FA Cup is the only chance Spurs have to gain European football.
AWARD FOR GARETH BALE
A brilliant season personally for Gareth Bale which has seen him cap it off with the welsh full-back winning Young Player of the year. Delfouneso and Rodwell came 2nd and 3rd respectively.
DEFOE 3rd IN GOLDEN BOOT
The Champions League brang some inspired performances for Jermain Defoe with the highlight being a hat-trick at the San Siro. Fabrizio Miccoli won 1st place in this award with 9 goals. Drogba came 2nd.
SAUNT REACHES TON FOR TOTTENHAM

It has been a busy summer of news at Tottenham news and announcements. First of all is that the stadium is under construction with the capacity being increased by 5500 seats. The estimated cost of the build will be in the region of £7.37m and will take approximately 4 months to complete.
With the season ending and the new one waiting to begin attention turned to the international fixture and Spurs right-winger, Aaron Lennon scored his first internation goal for England. He netted a goal against Greece and thanks Fabio Capello for having faith with him and promised more good performances in the future.
The European Club Ranking were announced an Tottenham improved their ranking by 15 places taking them to 19th position. Chelsea topped the table moving up from 2nd position last year. And the moved improved club when to Valerenga who moved from 237th to 135th in the table.
Pat Jennings set a date for his retirement which will see him hanging up his coaching boots at the end of the season. Jimmy Walker who is a back-up keeper at Spurs will also retire at the end of the season.
Tottenham have also signed a new main kit sponsorship deal. The new deal will be worth an estimated £2.7m per annum. The previous deal was only £1m per annum.
The fans player of the year was named by the supporters club and they voted in favour of Luka Modric. Jermain Defoe who was last years winner of the award was said to be delighted of Luka's achievement.

Pre-Season News
The aim in reducing the wage bill has gone very well. Along with selling players to raise money, the board allowed around £10m more for budget. I now have accumulated £19m to spend and have £203k availible for wages. Unfortnately i havn't found any suitible targets to buy. Many refuse to join a club without European football. I have found some regen targets who are both just 16. I'll release some information about them in later posts.
Gomes, Dawson and King signed new contracts that see him take pay-cuts. Oyenuga, Lancaster, McBride, Pritchard, Waller-Lassen and Fredericks were all released at the end of last season. Also i have released, Durojaiye, Archer, Tapping and Butcher.
