    Ange departs

    What you say here is so relevant. We talked about Ange-ball, whatever that is, for a big part of Ange's tenure. What we've seen recently is now being labelled as Ange-wall. A different system that is much more defensively tighter but quite uninspiring going forward. Yes, we won the EL final but...

    Sane - not for me. If we have an older player, I'd want a real leader. Sane has never struck me as that.

    Except when we get injuries, the player that could fill in won't be named in that squad. They'll only be named in the other squad. I think you have to try and get everyone eligible for the PL squad first, and then make compromises on the UEFA squad by not naming a few. That makes sense because...

    I'd love to disagree with you but I can't. There are some personality traits coming out in the Ange that fans are now observing and not enjoying.

    Ange departs

    I think I've become the minority here. I want the football conversation more than anything else. The journos don't care about them and Ange definitely doesn't want to talk about football. He knows it is way harder justifying his offside strategy than talking about stonecutters and doctors 26...

    Ange departs

    I think he was more akin to the red tops actually. Most famous for taking the lead role on the Sunday morning show, The Sunday Supplement, which is analogous to Kevin McCarra pushing boundaries in his time. That was an interesting article. From memory, Brian took over from Jimmy Hill and it was...

    Ange departs

    My favourite was Brian Woolnough. As a home and away England fans we spent times chatting with him. He used fan opinion and took them on board. I was genuinely sad when he left this planet. I've stopped being an England fan, but over the years I met loads in the profession. My worst experience...

    Those kids have no clue what a 3 day bender is. Where are the stories like Freddie's?

    Jose Mourinho

    Nope. However, has there ever been a single Jose interview where there's not an angle involved? He just can't help himself. I'd have been more surprised if there hadn't been a swipe at someone.

    That interview from Kulu definitely shows the difference between these very young players and a lot of the rest of us fans and media. It's actually quite endearing. As you get older you tend to lose the ability to be wowed so easily by words. You've got a lot of t-shirts in your lifetime...

    Contingency planning : we've found our guy

    As alternative thinking, who would we want as a critical cog on our coaching staff if Mason does fly the nest? I have a load of respect for Ryan and hope he does try that next step if that is what he wants. He's done his time in the other roles at this stage. I do feel that Ange's replacement...

    Contingency planning : we've found our guy

    Yeah, agree. It's been fantastic dialogue. Your contribution as great as ever. I'm hoping it shows that we can maintain that walking on air feeling about being EL champions whilst continuing the secondary Spurs conversations alongside. Sat in the sauna today with a Brentford season ticket...

    Ryan Mason

    It's absolutely the next step for Ryan. Good luck to him.

    Transfer thread

    Yeah, I think the PL squad is the easier one to configure. I can see Davies, Bissouma and Richi being the obvious swap outs. Ricci sounds good. I'm a Joao Gomes fan as well. I guess we find out about Cardoso in the first week of July.

    Contingency planning : we've found our guy

    And because they're a new leadership group, I don't know the answer to your question. I've spoken lots about Levy not having enough football DNA in such circumstances. You can add Cullen, Caplehorn, Collecott etc to that list. That raises optimism that we're in a better place then previously...

    Contingency planning : we've found our guy

    And this is where we cannot really know based on our earlier conversation. Give Frank Ange's set of cards and what would happen, and vice versa, The impossible question as they've never walked in each other's shoes.

    Contingency planning : we've found our guy

    What you write is totally fair but misses a really important ingredient. The missing piece for me is the deep football conversation about Ange's tactical ability. It sounds really clear when you talk about the psychology, the 2 year chronology and the experience. When we talk about pure football...

    Contingency planning : we've found our guy

    To answer your above question, Frank is currently way more qualified to manage Spurs than Ange in my opinion. Ange hasn't yet proven to me that he can even operate at the PL level, let alone the top end of the league. There has never been a time when we have shown any consistency under Ange. Not...

    2025/26 pre-season

    wow - who gets all that money? The hosts or the 2 teams on the pitch? I used to quite like the International Champions Cup run by the American billionaires. I think every team got thrown into one league and wherever they played their games worldwide it counted. Didn't Spurs win it one year and...

    Nice post. I'm pretty certain we can't really have a "bigger" squad though especially in UEFA. We can definitely have a better one though, and inevitably will. What may happen is further bifurcation between the PL and UEFA squads. I think we had 3 players not selected for UEFA in the second half...
