    Half-Season Review - The 45-Minute Wonders?

    So, what do folks think of us now we've broken until Boxing Day? From August to November, how do you think we've played, and are you happy with where we are heading into the WC?

    Squad not good enough...or unable to play a different style?

    ..I was thinking about this recently. Our squad is being shown up for its horrendous weaknesses right now, and there are many that are utterly undeniable. Davinson Sanchez is close to the worst, most utterly brainless, heartless and gutless center-back I have seen in two decades watching this...

    Season Review, 2019-2020

    Surprised this thread hasn't come up yet. It's been a tumultuous year - in a sporting sense, this sort of upheaval was something the club hasn't seen since 2008-2009, the famous '2 points, 8 games, 1 hero' season. In a societal sense, the onset of COVID-19 and the sheer scale of global...

    Mauricio Pochettino - Thank You

    I started the Poch thread, five years ago. With tears in my eyes, I guess it's time for me to end it. Thank you, Mauricio Pochettino. For everything you ever did. Thank you for taking over a broken club that was treading water, and going nowhere fast. Thank you for your bravery, in those...

    Waiting for Godot...

    So, I watched as the final whistle went. The pub behind me erupted in roars of delight, beer showered down, and the celebrations began. And I left, stage right. This was their night; their celebrations were earned. And they hadn't been c*nts about it, so I had no reason to begrudge them their...

    Cuneyt Cakir

    Amidst all the celebrations yesterday, we forgot this guy... Properly fudged over the massively rich oil club not once, but *twice*. Right decision both times. Spurs legend, Cuneyt Cakir. :D

    Phillip Billing

    Young, homegrown, has two legs, is a central midfielder. Fits everything we're looking for, imo. Also likely to go down with Huddersfield, might want to join us halfway through the season to avoid that.

    OMT ***Tottenham Hotspur v Watford***

    Right, it's been almost six years here and I realized I never actually started an OMT in all that time. In all that time, we've been on an upswing as well, so maybe the two are related and me starting this OMT will doom us to the relegation six months from now. But I'm halfway to being...

    Davinson Sanchez

    Done - signed, sealed and delivered. Welcome to Tottenham Hotspur, lad. :) Shame there's no Danny Rose Googling announcement video, though. :p

    Adrien Silva - Sporting Lisbon

    A bunch of people on Twitter are piping up claiming that we've made a 26 million pound bid for this guy that Sporting has accepted - their sources from Portugal are apparently primarily A Bola and Jornal de Noticias (the former not very credible, the latter much more so, apparently), who have...

    Jean Michael Seri

    This guy is suggesting that we've contacted Nice midfielder Jean-Michael Seri's entourage. He's usually *very* reliable on transfers within France, so it has a bit more weight coming from him than, say, Di Marzio. But, at the same time, I'm a bit confused, if it is true. He plays that...

    Never Forget This...

    If I were Poch, I'd turn the players to the television, to the radio, to the football pages of the major newspapers. All jubilantly live-tweeting Leicester's triumph, all desperately willing us to fail from the first minute onwards. All ready to savagely cheer a team of young, spirited, likeable...

    Football, bloody hell...

    Need to get it off my chest

    One day, I will walk past someone on the street, on some cloudy, grey day. I may not notice their existence, I may shuffle out of the way obligingly like I tend to do, or I may just stare into their blank eyes as I stroll past, registering them as just another dull soul flowing onward into...

    He has a point

    http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2012/dec/02/borussia-dortmund-premier-league "Hans-Joachim Watzke described German football as "romantic" for retaining its "50% plus one" rule, which requires Bundesliga clubs to be owned by their members. He questioned the ethos and sustainability of Premier...
