Mark Hughes: Come on In, Your Time at Manchester City Is Up...



I think we can all agree that Mark Hughes' time at Manchester City will end sooner rather than later...

As the Community Leader for Tottenham Hotspur on Bleacher Report I tend to write about all things Spurs quite a bit. And with the rivalry between Tottenham and Arsenal I do occasionally get some idiotic comments from idiotic Arsenal fans, as well as few from disgruntled Spurs fans...

Harry Redknapp made his first signing as Tottenham manager today by bringing Jermain Defoe back to White Hart Lane from Portsmouth for a fee of around £15M.
