Football FanCast columnist Fanos Kyriacou would be sad to see Dimitar Berbatov leave the Lane as he is the epitome of everything you would want to see as a football fan.

There have been many articles written and views expressed about the future of Dimitar Berbatov, is he staying, is he going? Should we try to keep him or should we cash in now? There are good arguments for both and each argument certainly has its merits but like most Spurs fans I have had enough and want the whole saga to end so here are my final comments on the matter and I have promised myself not to mention it again after this.

Football FanCast columnist Fanos Kyriacou continues his look back at the Premier League's forgotten heroes and focuses this week on Darren Anderton.


When people look back on the career of Darren Anderton the word ‘injured' is one of the first one that springs to mind. His injury plagued career earned him the nickname ‘sicknote' but I do feel that this reputation has somewhat masked the quality that he possessed on the football pitch. In a 12 year career at Spurs Anderton made 358 appearances scoring 48 goals not to mention countless assists.

Football FanCast columnist Fanos Kyriacou is fed up to say the least of the constant hypocrisy of Premier League managers.

According to Avram Grant, Didier Drogba doesn't dive but Rafa Benitez says he does and yet Rafa Benitez doesn't believe Steven Gerrard dives but the whole world can see he does. Sir Alex Ferguson gets upset when decisions go against his team and then promptly criticises the referee and yet when a team playing Man Utd get decisions against them, Fergie praises the referee. Arsene Wenger says that Birmingham's Martin Taylor should be banned for life after his challenge on Eduardo and yet when one of his players does a similar challenge of course the Arsenal player never meant it.

Football FanCast columnist Fanos Kyriacou is delighted by the signing of Luka Modric and wonders if its the positive sign of things to come.

Well how about that then? Spurs have won the race to sign the highly rated and highly sought after Croatian midfielder Luka Modric. This must surely come as a surprise to fans as the playmaker has been linked with pretty much all the top sides in Europe, so it is a fantastic coup for Juande Ramos and Damien Comolli (perhaps fans might get off our sporting director's back now).

Football FanCast columnist Fanos Kyriacou looks back at one of his favourite Spurs players and feels the current midfield is crying out for a Paul Allen type at this moment.

It is certainly true that we at Spurs have been blessed with some fantastic talent over the years and supporters all have their own heroes, Gazza, Hoddle, Waddle, Greaves, Blanchflower the list goes on and on. There are some players though in every club who don't get the praise that perhaps they deserve or whose contribution to that club seems to be overshadowed by the bigger more fashionable names.

Football FanCast columnist Fanos Kyriacou is disappointed with the Spurs teams performance, since that epic Carling Cup final, and wonders why the players havent shown the same hunger and desire as the man who for him has been their player of the season.

With only three wins in our ten games since we lifted the Carling Cup in February, it is pretty obvious that most of the players look like they don't give a damn and have been coasting to the end of the season. They have clearly given up and as Harry Hockley said in his article on Saturday (What would Billy Nick have made of this Tottenham rabble?) many of them seem to be content with just winning the least prestigious trophy on offer.
