Spurs will play Anorthosis in the first round tie of the UEFA Cup with the first game being played at White Hart Lane (Thursday, September 20th) and the return leg in Larnaca, Cyprus, at the Antonis Papadopoulos stadium (Thursday, October 4th). This news has come as a great surprise for many Spurs fans living in sunny Cyprus.
We’ve had the privilege of interviewing Akis Chrysostomou, the vice-chairman of the CSSC (Cyprus Spurs Supporters Club).
“We are ecstatic in having Spurs visit Cyprus in the second leg of the UEFA Cup, when they will face Anorthosis FC.
We will wait for Anorthosis FC to decide if they will use the vastly bigger and better equipped GSP National Football Stadium in Nicosia, rather than their own smaller Antonis Papadopoulos stadium in Larnaca.
We will apply for an allocation of tickets to satisfy our members demands and we will seek to arrange welcoming parties at the airport and Hotel of the THFC squad.
An information network will be in place for all the travelling fans requiring assistance. Our chairman, Chris Christou, will outline all delegated duties and make the Cyprus experience, for both the team and the supporters, as pleasant and memorable as possible.
In Cyprus we have a large number of ex-patriots and locals that follow Spurs, and this will be a unique opportunity for some to experience the delight of watching our beloved Spurs live in Cyprus.”

Ex-Arsenal & England striker, Ian Wright, announced on TalkSPORT yesterday evening that his step-son Shaun Wright-Phillips will not be moving to Spurs in a swap deal with Jermain Defoe.
Sun columnist, Ian McGarry, stated that Chelsea wanted Jermain Defoe and were willing to let their explosive winger, Wright-Phillips move in the opposite direction as part of a straight swap.
“I can’t believe that McGarry would write such a story? Where does he get his information from? I just can’t believe that this fella would make the whole thing up”, commented Wright.
Ian McGarry has extremely good contacts within football and it’s these contacts that have helped him rise as a highly respected top sports journalist.
I go along with Wright though. He was adamant that his step-son wouldn’t be going anywhere.
What I am sure of though, is that Jermain Defoe will either leave by the close of this transfer window (closes midnight Friday 31st August 2007), or he’ll be gone in the January transfer window.
It’s such a shame too. Martin Jol has stated on many occasions that he thinks there’s no better finisher than Defoe in the Premier League.
Why can’t our management give him a run of let’s say, ten games? Let him show to Jol and to us that he should be our first choice striker.
I expect Defoe to be sold to Manchester United tomorrow. If that doesn’t happen, Portsmouth will be in for him if they fail to sign Nicolas Anelka from Bolton.
Either way, I feel sorry for the lad. Do you? What do you think should happen with Defoe?
