    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    This quote deserves to be read by anyone who wants Frank out, because it is based on data: Whether in the success of Brentford and Brighton, or the continued underperformance of Tottenham and United, managers reflect the quality of the institutions around them. Twenty First Group shows that the...

    Frank Give him time or get rid?

    Just read a fantastic article in the Telegraph online which uses loads of data to show that sacking managers mid season is generally a waste of time and money. It ends with this: Whether in the success of Brentford and Brighton, or the continued underperformance of Tottenham and United, managers...

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Aston Villa FC ***

    Odobert Gray Xavi Tel Scarlett Richy 4-4-2, give Odobert, Tel and Scarlett a really simple effective structure, play Scarlett right off Richy's shoulder... Have to say I do like that front 6...

    ***OMT - Tottenham Hotspur Football Club vs AFC Bournemouth***

    But the squad imo is significantly stronger. When we have yet to see our top 3 offensive players this season, and Kudos is injured, how good the squad is, is irrelevant. What counts is the players who are available to play.........maybe we were unlucky last night, that I can take, but what I...

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    It is a very, very well deserved honour. The new stadium is his personal vision and he had the determination to drive it through.

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

    My question is how the PL define being offside "in the build up", as Lucas Bergvall was adjudged to be? It wasn't as if his offside lead directly to a goal, there were a number of passes.....just seemed a bit random to me..............

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Though I fully expect to see Frank sacked in April/May at the point it is clear that we'll finish the season trophyless and out of the European places. I don't. I think Vinai will end the managerial merry go round and give him a chance. Why on earth not? The manager can only do so much, it's...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    The manager is being honest and some of you seem to forget that Harry Kane and Sonny papered over a heck of a lot of cracks. Who are are goal scorers? Who are our forwards? Richie is lovely guy but hardly a top striker. What fit creative players can we field? We have a team of mid table...

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

    My prediction is that we will finish around 14th with a top five side Presumably you are assuming we sign at least 2 new "top 5" players over the Christmas break, as what we have now certainly ain't top 5 and is struggling to be in the top 10. Having youngsters who are full of promise and lack...

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

    We are in a bad place now let’s not kid ourselves. If we finish 12th I’d be surprised Cheer up chap. We need a couple in at Christmas and one of Kulu or Solanke to rejoin the team. The bad news is that we know now that Xavi is not the new Eriksen, but apart from that we've got some decent...

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

    I enjoyed it despite the loss. Liked the line up, liked Bergvall's ability to jink past players. My view of the first half ain't great from row 5 of the South, but I thought Xavi looked off from the get go, he looked frustrated and did niggly fouls. But as others have said, having the ref as the...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Rasiak. omg, why do you remind us? The worst forward I've seen in the shirt by a million, million miles. Poor guy was so far out of his depth!

    *** Tottenham Hotspur Vs Forest *** OMT

    We have better players than Forest,.... clearly not! Guys, football is just a game, and we are a team in transition. Of course it is disappointing when we play terribly but don't forget the players we wanted, needed and failed to buy in the summer. Money will be spent at Christmas. Let's forget...

    ***Tottenham Hotspur v SK Slavia Praha***

    Just home. Be daft to complain after a 3-0 win but the first half wasn't offensive enough for my liking. Maybe a better game to watch on TV? Still, Rome wasn't built in a day and even if the attacking isn't as fluid as I'd like, Frank clearly knows what he is doing. A decent performance at...
