    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    Journalists being sensationalist? Whatever next?! But yes, some pragmatism would be great. There's a tune to be had from this squad, especially now that some of them are returning from injury.

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    Just read this article on BBC Sport: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cvg3kxy221xo Given how the season has gone so far, I'm absolutely terrified of lines like these: We're fudged, aren't we?

    Also Ginger Pele plus anyone lucky enough to be partnered with him!

    You know, I miss the days of the "big man, little man" strike combinations. No matter how good peak DESK was, I'll still think back fondly on the days of Teddy and Sir Les :-)

    Luka Vuskovic

    While it's easy to get great defensive stats when you're in a lower-table team, he seems to be (literally) head and shoulders above the competition. What I particularly like is that he seems to be the type to identify shortcomings and actively deal with them. Employing an athletics coach to...

    Jesus, mate, don't spread it. Aussies have had their passports taken away for that sort of behaviour.

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    I agree with the first bit, mainly because I've never bought into the theory that the crippling lack of transfers was purely down to Scrooge McLevy. Poch has to take some of the blame for failing to replace his ageing stars. My heart simply cannot countenance relegation being a good thing, however.

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    He may well have shut the door until the summer, hence the Tudor appointment. But with relegation now being a very real possibility, the club's #1 priority has to be avoiding that at all costs. The losses incurred by a season (or three) in the Championship far outweigh any release clauses or...

    Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - Licence To Stand

    Interesting. Up here in Manchester, the downturn in Manchester United's fortunes (and, no doubt, the brickness of their stadium) has resulted in lots of fans turning to local lower league teams instead – they get their football fix a lot cheaper and feel much more connected. It makes sense for a...

    ***OMT Tottenham Hotspur Football Club v Nottingham Forest***

    Richi, Tel, AND Solanke? 4-3-3? Or a slightly wonky 4-4-2? EDIT: Oh, of course it's a 3-4-3. Very attacking.

    Speaking as someone who took part in a penny farthing race a couple of years ago, those things are absolutely terrifying.

    Igor the Departed

    Excellent post, as always. Brentford's continued success reinforces the strength of their overall setup vs just one manager. As you say, some things were all a bit weird. Like the fitness thing. Maybe the lack of conditioning played its part in all the injuries – players pushing the limits of...

    Igor the Departed

    I agree, and I'm still shocked by it. Honestly, I was delighted with Frank's appointment - surely a manager who'd done so well with Brentford would be a success with a team full of potential? A classy articulate guy who'd lead us to glory. How could I have got it so wrong? It's really got me...

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Atletico Madrid ***

    If players don't know where to run, it's hard for them to play with intensity. More and more it seems like a lack of clear coaching.

    I was about to write exactly the same thing. Wow.
