    Was Nasri a necessity?

    Tottenham and title contenders in the same sentence? Surely not....

    Ten games unbeaten, nine of them victories, the league table is looking pretty rosy for Tottenham fans at the moment. Third place, two points behind Manchester United and one game in hand has given the supporters reason to be cheerful. It feels like eons ago that we lost away to the champions 3-0 and the 5-1 capitulation to Manchester City is nothing more than a near-forgotten memory.

My money would be on Frimpong (!)

    Manchester City’s failure in Europe – will it bring success in the long term? 

    Roberto Mancini summed it all up in his press conference:  "In football anything can happen. If Villarreal play a serious match they can get a result. It is important we play our game against Bayern Munich.''. And that's what 212 million Euros gets you, a crunching must-win encounter against the German giants.

    Many were sceptical about signing Emmanuel Adebayor in the summer, even if it is only on loan. Here is a player who has plied his trade for Arsenal and known to be a disruptive influence in any dressing room he has been in.
