    Transfer thread

    Without wishing to gatecrash this entertaining exchange, I would just say it's obviously a reach to say Semenyo is/was the only target. The club will have (and indeed regularly say that they have) a list of targets and they work down them according to circumstance etc. I know a senior scout at a...

    Transfer thread

    We almost certainly did. The fact City are letting him go when he was so highly rated, and the fact we've nicked half their backroom staff may well be related.

    Transfer thread

    I think it's fairly certain that the current board's plan is to keep the manager, and I suspect the signing of Gallagher, in their eyes, is a show of support. If there is someone out there who would significantly upgrade our ability to score any type of 'unexpected' goals and provide a genuine...

    He was fouled. Not sure the pitch had anything to do with it.

    I have heard that this is all agent driven.

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    I agree. I can see why people might think he's not the right fit, but I still think supporting our players and manager is the way to go. Would the club sack him if we'd drawn 1-1 on Saturday? I suspect not. So why sack him on the back of conceding a goal from a corner? He's either the right...

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    It's confidence, not coaching. We're talking about continually misplacing simple passes.

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    My dad's a little too old to frequent Internet forums, but he played/coached to a decent standard and asked something recently that resonated. When was the last time it looked like our players were enjoying playing football? Not celebrating after the game (Frankfurt/Bilbao/Etihad) but actually...

    Thrilled to see a David Gedge reference on the forum. We're certainly Getting Nowhere Fast.

    Villa's Player of the Season winner last year (Fans' and Players'), and probably the best passer in the league since TAA left. I think that's a bit better than a solid pro.

    Conor Gallagher

    Sarr is a tricky one. The gap between his floor and ceiling is huge: he looks a beast at his best but has too many games where he's anonymous. Personally I think his athleticism and stamina, along with decent technique, are worth persisting with. He needs coaching imho, which shouldn't be beyond...

    ***Spurs vs West Ham Untd***, PL, 13th September 2025 at The London Stadium

    100%. The terrible application of the obstruction laws is the best example of this. According to the laws of the game, you can only shield the ball from an opponent or block your opponent when the ball is within playing distance. It staggers me how little this law is applied, or indeed referred...

    I didn't, and I suspect they have an old email address for me. What did it say?

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    Over the past 20 years, I have met, professionally and personally, a number of people who have worked in senior roles at the club, during which time I've been told various bits of of info, gossip and chat. It's not usually your classic ITK and I wouldn't post anything specific if it was; it's...

    Lookman linked????

    Agree. It was noticeable that Bournemouth forced Vicario to play out to Van de Ven, whose primary options were Spence and Johnson to whom they stayed touch tight. That forced him to play longer to Richarlison who was bullied out of it, or inside to Palhinha, who generally played it back to...

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    Agree with lots of this. I think much of the discontent lies among fans of a certain age who grew up from the late 60s to the mid 80s when we were either better or at the very least as successful as Arsenal. Similar size clubs/fanbases (certainly in north and north east London/Home Counties)...

    Transfer thread

    If they need to sell, personally I'd go for Tielemans. He's their best passer, their player of the season last year, and imho exactly what we need in the short term. When they played well last season he was exceptional. I'd love Rogers (being English is obviously helpful) but I can't see them...

    Savinho

    A City mate says he's terrible, with no end product, and offered to drive him down for us. However, as he admitted, he also thought Cole Palmer was massively overpriced and didn't have the right attitude. Transfers are an inexact science...

    Friendly match: Tottenham v Arsenal (Hong Kong) 12.30/7.30pm BST/HKT

    He's arguably the player with the biggest upside/regression of the last year (although Gray might argue with that assessment). Glad he's looking good; could save us a fortune.

    Expectations for 25/26

    I think you're both right to some extent. Van de Ven's main weakness is when players run at him as his size makes him vulnerable to quick changes of direction. His heading definitely has room for improvement and that may come. That's not to disagree with the assertion that he's one of the best...
