    Tanguy Ndombele

    Quite. Too many of our big signings around that period failed on the mental aspect rather than ability. Lo Celso and Sessegnon as well -- nothing wrong with their ability, just lacking some sort of edge psychologically that would have made them excellent players for our club. In my head this...

    Son Heung-Min

    I'm going to wax slightly lyrical as I've been drinking, but I can't think of many players in my Spurs supporting life (since 1990) who I've been prouder to see wearing our shirt. Or our shinnies. Sonny bleeds blue and white. Our club means so much to him. He's up there with Ledley, Mabbs and...

    RIP Jimmy Greaves.

    A Prima Ballerina cross?! Sounds more like Drogba. Outrageous!

    The Nu-Mour-Conts Era

    Good point about the dip not being too bad -- but a large part of that was, as @Baleforce pointed out, mitigated against by the Kane-Son partnership. Goals win matches. I would argue that we can't include Vicario, Dragusin, Maddison and Johnson as part of the No-Mour-Conts period. It's a bit...

    The Nu-Mour-Conts Era

    Mour-Conts-Nu, surely? Ah, now I see what you did there. Nice. I think all of us could see the decline of Pochettino's side in the 2018-19 season, despite making it to the CL final (and therefore arguably being the club's most successful season in recent history). Then there was that truly...

    Pedro Porro

    Whoever does get picked at RB for Spain should count himself bloody lucky that Argentina isn't in Europe.

    Yeah, I've been trying to forget last November too.

    *** Tottenham Hotspur vs Chelsea OMT ***

    I sense a season-defining performance from an attacking player tonight. Hopefully it's Richi or Kulu rather than Mudryk or Jackson.

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Arsenal FC ***

    These spots wind me up so bloody much. All Gallagher ever does is spout flimflams reasons to back up his referee mates. Okay, those two cases were marginal, but I'd love to see what he said for Kulu's penalty shout or indeed the push on Romero before he hit the post. But what winds me up even...

    Ben Davies

    Easily said, but Davies had just sprinted back to engage Saka. A mistake, sure, but if we had a few others tracking back with more urgency, perhaps VdV would have been able to engage Saka as well, and hopefully block the shot, rather than having to cover the pass back and getting stuck in no...

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Arsenal FC ***

    Yeah, fair enough. I'm hungover and upset. Guess I'm thinking more of the Saudi Sportswashing Machine and Fulham games. Even Saka's goal mightn't have happened if not for the penalty shouts being a distraction.

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Arsenal FC ***

    Have we been found out? Is it really that so many of our players are off-form (or injured), or is it just that our opponents have done their homework and figured out how to hurt us? Is Ange's system coming undone now that he's playing it against the best teams in world football? I'd have...

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Arsenal FC ***

    Sadly, I think Gentle Ben could spend double that and it wouldn't make any difference. That sounds overly negative, but what I mean is that his footballing intelligence is about as good as it gets -- he takes up good positions, knows when to attack, and so on. The problem is that, physically...

    Cann we?

    Well, I guess we'll need 4th for CL then. On the up-side, Arsenal aren't going to win Big Cup and Emirates Marketing Project don't have to worry about fixture congestion.

    Manor Solomon

    I'm with you on that one. IIRC, Solomon has had just one injury since he signed for us. It's just that it was a fairly severe one and he's taking longer than expected to heal. I'm not going to label him as a sicknote just yet.

    Pape Matar Sarr

    gonads. Realised I'd forgotten Keane, decided to add Gerrard too, and didn't update the number.

    Pape Matar Sarr

    If he's half the player that Vieira was, we'll be doing well. Much as it pains me to say it, late-Vieira Arsenal was one of the best teams the Premier League has seen. He was one half of a 2-man midfield pairing that dominated Prem midfields, often playing against a 3. Is it fair to say that he...

    Radu Drăgușin

    Okay, I thought he was on just after the second goal, but it seems not. Subbed on at 49 minutes, 50 the first goal, 53 the second, 65 the McGinn red. Still, he'd have had a much tougher last half hour against 11 men.

    Radu Drăgușin

    You know, having seen a couple of interviews with Dragusin and seen how he (allegedly) conducted himself during his transfer, I suspect that he views that as a challenge -- to come in and do as well as VdV, maybe even take either his or Romero's place on merit. As people have said, he had it...

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur vs Aston Villa ***

    Sure, Kulu looks ungainly (runs with a stutter!) and can be guilty of losing possession, but he's been involved in all three goals today.
