    Politics, politics, politics (so long and thanks for all the fish)

    I think the line is that when something is said which deliberately harms, offends, or causes aggressive physical situations, then it is beyond the realms of free speech. I think the biggest issue has been the measure of what THAT all is. And to that degree, there has been an ultimately...

    OMT ** Tottenham Hotspur v Palace **. 28.12.25 4.30pm

    It was the perfect gamestate for him to use his abilities. The key will be to get him to a place where he imposes those from the start. If he is allowed!!!

    OMT ** Tottenham Hotspur v Palace **. 28.12.25 4.30pm

    I agree. He avoided even a sniff of controversy. He seems to be a genuinely decent human being too. Definitely a cult hero in the making.

    OMT ** Tottenham Hotspur v Palace **. 28.12.25 4.30pm

    I think it was Frank's territory. He was able (via injuries and suspensions) to set up as he prefers.

    IMO his best 20-25 mins for us. Frank got his subs bang-on today so credit for that.

    Half season after January, when the injuries hit. Just before Xmas we dismantled Everton 6-1 away with one of our finest performances away from home...

    The Current State of Spurs (and some sympathy for Thomas Frank)

    Haha, no wonder you've been disappointed for years too. In what universe has this club ever spent money like Abramovich's Chelsea? In what universe do you expect that? I hate Mourinho, but to minimise what he did to that club in terms of attitude is bizarre. You wanna talk chefs? Chelsea were...

    The Current State of Spurs (and some sympathy for Thomas Frank)

    With your decontextualized and (pardon my robustness) anal and somewhat flat approach to language and the use of adjectives generally, I can only say one man's 'hyperbole' is another man's colour...and one man's stringent application of language and adjectives is another man's instruction...

    The Current State of Spurs (and some sympathy for Thomas Frank)

    Now you're just running up the metric pole. Of COURSE we've signed 'bigger names' before than the ones I highlit. First off, no. Not 'relative to our standing', relative to our signing policy/recruitment policy over the years. That has little to do with standing and everything to do with how we...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    It’s out there. Three days ago. I’d say having watched the 5 minute piece, the only context is that he mentions how we finished 8th and 5th the seasons before as being ‘indicators’ of the overhaul needed, however it all gets blown out of the water by his early doors statements which I posted...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    it’s actually my main reason against it, because it would be heart-breaking + to see it go that way if (indeed) it did…

    The Current State of Spurs (and some sympathy for Thomas Frank)

    Sigh. What I failed to mention is that those were within the remit of a signing policy which never EVER goes for the top top talent because we would never pay those wages, thus ALL the signings I called out were based on youth and potential. And yes, in THAT regard, they are great signings...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Indeed. TRUE honesty would’ve been congratulating the side and mentioning ‘we have to do better than 17th’ at that moment. I’d say the truth is that Frank (like many of his peers) would’ve recognised what a brick show things were last season in terms of injuries and behind the scenes brick, thus...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    You’ve posted repeatedly about how average the squad is. I think we can all see the short-comings/imbalances. Trust me, no-one thinks Frank should be winning the league with this, however we should absolutely be in the top 7/8 right now with potential new signings/returnees to boost.

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Well, I’d say it would come down to… 1) if they want someone like Xavi (a gamble given he’ll head back to Barca some day IMO) 2) if there are backdoor discussions with Glasner (who I think would be decent but still not have it easy) 3) if they are backdoor talking with Poch about his return...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    People have short memories mate. Here’s what he said when he arrived… “Huge congratulations to the Club, to the team (for the Europa League triumph). Huge congratulations to Ange (Postecoglu) - I think Ange has done something special. He’ll forever be a legend in Tottenham…it’s important to...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    No. He actually said we were in for a painful rebuild at the very start of May 2019, weeks before the Champions League Final we were in thanks to him and his side. The context was totally different.

    The Current State of Spurs (and some sympathy for Thomas Frank)

    Hmmm. If you look back at the summer, Frank was very active in getting Palhinha to the club; the delay in securing the deal was that Bayern wanted 47 mill and we wanted a season loan. But make no mistake, he wasn’t a body Frank agreed to for numbers at all (that was Muani and only because of...

    The Current State of Spurs (and some sympathy for Thomas Frank)

    Yeah, I've said since he broke through that there's more passes in Bergvall as he matures. He also needs a coach who can guide him; he is perfect for a Poch or Pep in that regard. You cannot create the presence and belief he naturally has.
