Pre-Season: Leyton Orient 1 - 1 Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham drew 1-1 with Leyton Orient in the JE3 Foundation Trophy

In a useful workout for the Spurs squad - their first outing of pre-season and first match under new Head Coach Nuno Espirito Santo - the young Dane Scarlett's fine finish gave them the lead in scorching heat at The Breyer Group Stadium, before substitute Ruel Sotiriou levelled for the O's with 18 minutes remaining.

Nuno named a mix of first team and Under-23 players in the squad, with many of their senior campaigners still away after this summer's international action. 

Academy teenagers Maksim Paskotsi - a full international with Estonia - and Kallum Cesay started in the full-back positions, their first senior appearances in Spurs colours, while Nile John impressed in central midfield as another youngster in an otherwise more experienced initial eleven.

Goalkeeper Alfie Whiteman was introduced for Joe Hart at half-time and made a great save to keep out Dan Kemp's free-kick before the entire team was changed on 64 minutes, Sotiriou subsequently curling home Orient's equaliser.

Despite some late from pressure from the away side, Leyton Orient managed to see out the game. They remain unbeaten in two pre-season matches against Premier League opposition.

 The Orient perspective 

The Orient Manager Kenny Jackett was clearly very pleased with his side's performance. They are preparing for another season in League Two and will perhaps fancy their chances of a promotion push. 

It was a great day at Brisbane Road with some of their fans experiencing a first ever football match. We'd imagine that they had a great day in the sun.

What are the Razzies?

Outside of The Oscars, there’s an awards ceremony that aims to honour a group of films from a particular year.  The Razzies, known as the Golden Raspberry Awards, take a very different look at the film industry.  At each ceremony, there are a number of different awards. One of the more humorous awards was won by Con-Air in 1997. The film took home the award for ‘Worst Reckless Disregard for Human Life and Public Property'. Despite this award, it was also nominated for several Oscars in the same year. It’s not the only film to have been nominated for both awards. It has also happened to the Addams Family and Armageddon.   Who 'won' in 2021? The 41st edition of the Golden Raspberry Awards took place on April 24, 2021.

Transfer Deadline Day: Three of the best

Transfer deadline day happens twice a season and is always a crazy day.  Who can forget Dimitar Berbatov moving to Manchester United in August 2008? Or how about Mesut Özil moving to Arsenal in 2013? Dimitar Berbatov - Tottenham to Manchester United in 2008 Earlier on this dramatic deadline day, it had appeared that Manchester City were going to shatter United's hopes after they had a bid of more than 20 million pounds accepted by Tottenham. United ultimately got their man and the Bulgarian would go onto win two Premier League titles and a League Cup whilst at Old Trafford.  At the time of the transfer, one Manchester United fan said: "Rooney, Ronaldo, Tevez, Berbatov - Is there a better attacking outfit? Now we are really ready to attack European football like we have done domestically." There is constant debate about the overall effectiveness of 'Berba' during his time at Old Trafford. Some United believed he was the world class addition needed at the time, o
