    What song are we currently (a bit of fun here so take in that spirit!)…

    Superb!!!!! I hadn't heard this name -or thought about this band- for a long long time. Thank you for the tremendous reminder! EDIT: just looked them up to see what they're doing..."Today, Niall O’Flaherty is a lecturer in the History of European Political Thought at King's College London,<a...

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

    Your head is firmly in the clouds if you genuinely believe that to be the case. As long as time indeed. But never with the speed, access, outreach and overload that is made possible by social media. With regards to Putin, he most certainly had a huge hand in your favourite referendum...

    Xavi Simons

    I agree with most of this, except the puzzling line 'Ange's psychology was pretty poor when it came to creating a winning culture' and comparing him directly with Frank. Postecoglu had injuries everywhere and little support around him as that second season went into the New Year. He created a...

    Xavi Simons

    I probably used the phrase. Let me rephrase. Right now, all our play should be designed to bring Xavi into the game as much as possible, give him as much of the ball as possible, and allow him a free role to be the creator he is. Yesterday he essentially had a free role off the left, which...

    A Moral Dilemma For you

    I agree AND feel the Prem is a giant cesspit. I think I am almost 'there' with the 'lets have fun one below' club, albeit my subconcious won't let it happen yet...

    Kevin Danso

    It was a cruel moment. A guy who gives everything getting caught trying to do his job, when several around him did NOT do their jobs and caused the moment in the first place. As for the abuse...shocking and not fudging on. Ever.

    The *WHEN* we go down thread

    I thought I was right there with you...until that equaliser...then I realized I was still in deep. Crushing!

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    So, just for context, here's what he said on arrival. A key quote was - “I always say this one-liner: if you don’t take risks, you also take risks. So it’s important we take risks. Risk is you need to play forward. If you don’t risk the ball, you can’t create things. We need to be brave."...

    Xavi Simons

    I think this is a great point re:runners, he did let people go too often, and it is wholly part of the risk/reward of playing him. This goes back to my assertion all along that TF did not really want this profile of player, at least not at that time. However we have no other creativity so we...

    Xavi Simons

    It's a tactical and managerial observation. We never ever saw Frank set us up to play through/with Xavi on a consistent basis and we never saw Frank offer that sort of 'enjoy the ball' confidence which encourages people to try and also to shoot (Frank reportedly discouraged shots from outside...

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

    We just don't do the simple things. Danso will carry the can for the equalizer, but he should not even be dealing with it. Spence shouldn't be charging up the field to pressure the keeper (and if he does he should bust a gut to get back), Porro should be conservative, Palhinha should not let...
