    ENIC

    Also, here's one interpretation of the chronology at play here - 1) Ange heads into the summer of 2024 asking for reinforcements after finishing 5th in his first season - not bad without Kane. He gets one senior player in Solanke, and a bunch of raw kids. 2) We head into January 2025 ravaged...

    Yep, that one too. And we got Porro the following January, who hasn't been bad all things considered.

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    For sure mate. I caveated my assessment with that bit about it being rare that a player compares to his 16-17 equivalent - because Romero and Van de Ven, in my eyes, come reasonably close to Toby-Verts, even if they're not at that level on the whole. But on Udogie, I think he's an illustration...

    ENIC

    So am I mate. I think a lot of the faults the club built up over literal decades are coming to a boil, and not much of it has to do with him personally. The high ticket prices driving out the more vocal (younger/poorer) home crowd, The promises of the stadium being transformational, the years...

    Cristian Romero

    Might be mate. But as @demotw says, might be ENIC too - he did say they've been lying for years, and Lange has really only been here for two. Romero's been here since summer 2021 - in that time he's seen the team around him devolve in quality, losing Kane, Son et al, and going from a world...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I'm here mate, though I mainly lurk these days. Fact is, Frank isn't the problem. Give him enough time and he'll look better, only because nearly any coach looks better once he's given time. And he's a good bloke - humble and truthful, which always counts for something in my book. Whether...

    Cristian Romero

    At least five players seem to have liked his post, some commented on it too - Porro and Richarlison among them. The entire squad seems sick to the back gills of...someone upstairs. Can't be Frank, he's the one fronting up after all these losses and trying to sow a reasonable-quality purse out...

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

    No argument there. Hopefully the return of Kulusevski will help (I have zero hope Solanke and Maddison return before season's end), and we also get a quality left-winger and left-back in January. All of those will help bolster our attack, and we can then conduct major surgery come the summer.

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

    Tough game, and not one that will give a lot of ammunition to either Frank's defenders or his detractors, tbh. On the plus side, we ground out a win. On the negative, we looked pretty toothless doing it until Palace tired right at the end, which is natural given this is their third game in a...

    Cristian Romero

    Very, very on-brand for him to get sent off the way he did. It's amusing because he spent a couple of seasons being careful about red cards and it felt like his reputation as an unstable nutcase was fading. Then he gets sent off the way he did today, letting everyone down, and you realise that...

    Xavi Simons

    Frankly one of the most macaronic moments I've seen from one of ours in a very long time. Losing the ball constantly, okay, I get it, he's being overmatched in the Premier League, it happens, give him a year to adapt. I get it. But reacting by getting sent off at 30 minutes for a macaronic lunge...

    ***Official Match Thread Tottenham Hotspur v Liverpool Sat. 20th Dec. 5:30pm***

    Don't see how anyone can blame Frank for that, really. Team looked competitive for the first 30. Then Xavi Simons makes one of the brainless sequences of decisions I've ever seen - loses the ball poorly, something he'd been doing consistently until then, and then loses his head and rakes his...

    *** Tottenham Hotspur Vs Forest *** OMT

    Well, the caveat here is that supporters often think they want a possession-heavy style of play, but then moan when we implement one. I remember the jibes thrown AVB's way for prioritising possession - I don't think I've ever seen more use of the word 'sterile', outside of a laboratory. Same...

    Guglielmo Vicario

    Anyway - this habit of Vic's is getting more attention, which I hope at least gets him to consider cutting it out. It isn't healthy, for him or for the team.

    Guglielmo Vicario

    Hear, hear. I have *never* seen another keeper capable of making the saves Gomes could. That Arsenal game in 2010 where he basically saved our season is something I'll never get out of my mind - save, after save, after save, some of them so utterly physics-bending that they still leave me...
