Football FanCast columnist Davis Lowe reflects on another woeful Spurs performance and wonders where the players are actually getting the motivation.

Gareth Southgate once famously remarked "we wanted Winston Churchill, but we got Ian Duncan-Smith" - a damning assessment of Sven's motivational abilities, but an insight into the modern footballer. They may get paid handsomely and to the neutral it should be motivation itself, but it's clear that they a need a leader, someone to inspire them and my word how Spurs are crying out for them.

Football FanCast columnist Davis Lowe feels that events at Eastlands may force Arsenal’s hand.


If there was a League table of the most talked about topics over the summer months, then surely Arsenal and their finances will be riding high.

Davis Lowe feels that Spurs have the £14m remedy for their striking headache

Football FanCast columnist Davis Lowe applauds the Spurs chairman for making a stand and feels that other clubs should follow suit.

I don't think there was a football supporter around who didn't echo the sentiments of Daniel Levy last night. The callus way in which football clubs continue to ride roughshod over rules and regulations is getting beyond a joke and you only hope the FA or Premier League make a stand and make an example of these teams - then who knows, the game might just get some sort of normality return.

Tagged: Premiership

Football FanCast columnist Davis Lowe looks at the distribution of funds in European competition and sees why the likes of Everton and Spurs are fighting to bridge the gap.

If anyone ever needed proof that a gulf exists between the top four and the Premier League, then this is surely it. Staggering findings, reported on Everton's club website & BBC, shows UEFA's distribution of wealth for the European competitions last season. To say it seems unfair is something of an understatement.

Tagged: Euros 2008

Football FanCast columnist Davis Lowe is looking forward to the showdown between Man United's Cristiano Ronaldo and Chelsea's Petr Cech and wonders who will have the bragging rights come 7pm tonight.

If there is one thing you can say about Euro 2008 is that it has hardly lived up to its billing. In fairness it has been somewhat of a drab affair, where negativity has been king and skill has been lacking, but as D'ream once proclaimed, "things can only get better".
