Jermain Defoe is the subject of a new soccer documentary coming via theatrical release in the UK on Feb. 29 this year. Defoe, a popular soccer figure in England, made over 750 appearances as a professional in England, Scotland and Canada. The bulk of those came with Tottenham Hotspur, where he scored an outstanding 143 […]

Some people were surprised, and others were excited in early 2014 when it was announced that English striker Jermain Defoe would join Toronto FC of Major League Soccer (MLS). Toronto FC had hoped to add star power and goal-scoring abilities when they signed Defoe, known for his brilliance in front of goal and remarkable tenure […]

According to the London Evening Standard, former Tottenham Hotspur star Jermain Defoe could very well be heading back to England to ply his trade in the Premier League come January. The current Toronto FC player, who moved to the MLS team earlier in the year, is reportedly wanted by another London-based club, Queens Park Rangers. […]

The well-worn life adage “the bigger they are, the harder they fall,” is almost always an on-the-money assessment of spectacular collapses. In Toronto, the football club that many credit with starting MLS supporter culture when they joined the league in 2007 is famous for their staggering incompetence. In a league where over half the teams […]

The big freeze and the dismal failure of England’s 2018 World Cup bid will not stop the Premier League from rolling on. Its game week 16, time to forget the disappointment, put the heating on and enjoy another weekend of Football. Spurs enjoyed a much needed rest midweek and will be hoping to capitalise on […]

Well this season is just getting harder and harder to predict. Having just absorbed last week’s action Game Week 15 is here and no doubt will throw up plenty more surprises. The Premier League weekend kicks off Saturday lunchtime at Villa Park. Two wounded team’s line up looking to bounce back from disappointing results. The […]

For years on end managers across the country have sent their players away  to represent their country and spent the whole time of their absence praying they all return fit and well.  But after a week that saw several big name players pick up injuries while playing for their country, the pressure from managers for […]

While Jermain Defoe took the goal-scoring honours on Friday night at the other end of the pitch Joe Hart was going a long way to establishing himself as England’s goalkeeper for the foreseeable future with another fine display. Fabio Capello’s decision to opt for an experienced ‘keeper at the World Cup at the expense of Hart […]

After a successful, if occassionally indifferent 4-0 win over Bulgaria on Friday, England have won 11 successive home games. Before this game, the British tabloids were ready, knives sharpened, to cut England's manager to pieces. In his England-Bulgaria preview last week, titled 'Fabio Capello has lost his players and now he will lose his job', […]

With the pressure on Fabio Capello,  England finally delivered a performance to make the country proud. But was this result and the performance the start of a change in fortunes for Capello or another result that get’s our hopes up only to be disappointed down the line? England may have gone some way to igniting […]

For England supporters who can't get enough of seeing how England scored the goal against Slovenia today in the 2010 World Cup, here is the video replay of the goal scored by Jermain Defoe. And what a beautiful cross it was that led to the goal. Defoe got into a good position and was able […]

Tottenham Hotspur isn't one of the most fashionable clubs in the English Premier League, but judging by the amount of "jump out of your seat" incidents in the second half, maybe it's time to start paying more attention to the boys from White Hart Lane even though they failed to capitalize on a golden chance […]

With the season starting slightly earlier this year due to the World Cup, most teams in the Premiership have played 8 league games already. Last season, the 8th round of matches was played two weeks later, on the weekend of October 18th/19th. By the end of it, Tottenham were staring up at every other team […]

Don't you just love the weather? Thanks to snow that has been unkind to transport within the UK, the five  pm transfer deadline got extended. Now obviously the catch to that was deals had to already been agreed and loose ends tied up, but just the fact the transfer window had to be extended makes […]

Congrats to Derby County. On a day where Cricket was the headline in England throughout (thanks ECB), Derby County came up with another dozy...technically being 180 minutes away from European competition. However that's where the hyperbole stops for me. Sir Alex Ferguson obviously had a plan in mind for tonight's game, damage control. While yes […]
