    ***OMT - Tottenham Hotspur v Wolverhampton Wanderers, Molineux, Sat 25th April, 3pm - ***

    Let's start with the obvious bit. We need to win this fudging game. No, we really do! And I think we will. Because Roberto De Zerbi told me -and you, and the players, and the press and everyone- that we can 5 games in a row, that he has seen enough. And if he has seen enough, then so have I...

    *** The official 2025/26 Premier League thread ***

    The thing I am clinging to is that DeZerbi has us playing better and better, whereas West Ham are playing as well as they can (this is their peak). I expect DeZerbi to force a win at Wolves, and similarly at Villa. I think he has affected the vibe and mood significantly, and the way he spoke...

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    Have to say I have been very impressed thus far. He has shown me!!!

    He locked in for the Europa run. I think he'll lock in for this one.

    ***OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Brighton, White Hart Lane, Sat April 18th, 5.30pm***

    I think there has been a lot of fear and uncertainty around training/strength training. I think it's a further issue of the managerial change TBH. Perhaps we'd done the 'hard labour' part of a squad adapting to Angeball, and maybe the fruit was to come. Frank came in with his own ideas on...

    Agreed. Add to that the total and utter chaos of the boardroom and you really do have the mother of all clusters. When this horrendous season is over (and wherever we are) I think a holistic view is vital. Despite not liking him, I still feel a lot of sympathy for Frank, who signed up for an...

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

    Sadly you're right, there is a lot to unpack, and frankly, the moderates/non-right are still getting to grips with it. Hmm, in fairness I was being glib. When I suggested that people had been manipulated, you got upset and suggested I was insulting people's intelligence, specifically implying...

    Kevin Danso

    I agree! If we go down it will not be because Kevin Danso didn't clear the ball against Brighton.

    Xavi Simons

    I agree he is not quite there yet, but I think he could absolutely be there sooner than later. Eriksen is an interesting example given his career path positionally, and yes, agreed, he was great.I will say that perhaps my current desperation to see any good player with vision and skill is a...

    Xavi Simons

    We agree to disagree, as I don't think Frank and players like Xavi are a good fit.

    Xavi Simons

    I don't think you'll find disagreement on the 'multi-points failure' of this club. In that sense, blaming Frank solely is unfair. I agree. In truth, VV should've swiftly moved him on in December when it was clear the fit was wrong; that was a huge opportunity. Good discussion and forces me to...

    Xavi Simons

    Fair point on the stats, I don't remember a lot of full 90 performances in terms of time but will look - I am intrigued. Do you genuinely believe Frank trusted him or knew how to manage him? To my eyes, it is undeniable he did not.

    Xavi Simons

    I am not sure that definition of 'free role' applies anywhere in the modern game? I use the term for very creative players who need to be given the license and structure around them to roam and create. Defensively, in 2026 no-one gets away without responsibilities. So I meant it in terms of...

    Xavi Simons

    I agree there's been a necessary break-in period for him to find his feet, and I think the best of him will come in time if he has the comfort of regular play as a starter/important player. But I firmly believe that had we committed to making him a foical point of what we were doing this season...
