    Maurice Norman RIP

    So sad to learn of the passing of Maurice Norman, one of my great heroes from the magnificent Double-winning team. I fondly recall Monty as a rock-solid defender from the mid-50s who went on to established himself as our centre-half in the Double-winning side right through to the mid 60s...

    Time to outlaw the tactical foul?

    Surely it's time for the games' lawmakers to come up with a more effective way to address the issue of tactical fouling? For the defending side, conceding an early free kick somewhere in the vicinity of the halfway line has always been the go-to way of nullifying a counter-attack when all else...

    Oliver Skipp

    If ever a 17yo trainee deserved his own thread it has to be this young man. He already seems to possess a full complement of attributes for any box-to-box midfielder: pace, strength, skill on the ball, tackling, distribution, anticipation, energy, awareness, drive, attitude, you name it. Not...

    Don't laugh, how much of a threat are Burnley this season?

    We wrote off Leicester a couple of seasons ago and look what happened. So it's clearly time to start taking Burnley seriously, because all of a sudden they have emerged as real challengers for a top four slot. Like it or not we now have to deal with the chilling possibility that they will be...

    Why are we struggling to score this season?

    Before you all scream Harry Kane! - pause a moment. Because maybe it's just a tad more complicated than that? Watching Barcelona last night it was hard not to be struck by the supreme nonchalance, indeed the outright arrogance with which Messi and Neymar picked their way through the City...

    At last - welcome to the new Nasty Tottenham.

    Nasty in a good way. For all the nonsense of Monday night - the excessive force was to my mind a one-off, an aberration - behind it all there was a clear and powerful message, one that all Tottenham fans will take heart from. This new Tottenham has thrown down the gauntlet to the Premier...

    Down White Hart Memory Lane

    With only a year and a bit to go before we say goodbye to the venerable old stadium, it's time to start reminiscing. Some of my early memories involve glorious European cup nights witnessing stunning goals by the likes of Jimmy Greaves and Cliff Jones but one of my most cherished of all did not...

    Ratings vs Spammers

    Lloris 7 - never really tested but - as always - quick to come off his line and showed a safe pair of hands throughout Walker 8 - damn shame he goofed so badly in the dying minutes to let them get one back, but for that he was close on a 9 today. That sweetly-struck goal should have been the...

    Ratings vs the Ar5e

    Lloris 7 - might have done better for Gibbs' goal but did manage a couple of good stops at critical moments to redeem himself Walker 7 - excellent game overall Alderweireld 8 - rock solid at the back, might have scored with a better-directed header second half Vertonghen 7 - found the petulent...

    Ratings vs Villa

    I get that ratings are increasingly a bore for many but here goes anyway, Lloris 6 - one decent save and blameless for their deflected goal but a tad nervy at times and lucky not to concede when coming off his line Walker 7 - had his hands full with the lively Sinclair but coped well overall...

    Ratings vs Monaco away

    Lloris 7 - a series of excellent saves except one parry that might have cost us Trippier 7 - lacks Walker's pace but showed has a much better cross on him that on another day might have paid dividends Alderweireld 8 - excellent, lost count of the number of headed clearances he made Verts 7 -...

    Ratings vs Sunderland please

    Only watched parts of the game so would appreciate your player ratings and verdicts. From what I did catch Mason was easily our MotM and not just because he got the winner. Last time I saw a performance like that, when forward, intelligent passes were being sprayed all over the park, I was...

    Are we now permanently locked out of the CL?

    Apologies if there is already a thread on this topic buried somewhere in the bowels of GG. Looking at the top four in the PL table today it has an even more ominous look about it than usual with Chelsea, Arsenal, Man U and Man C opening up an ever widening gap between themselves and the chasing...

    So why the Big Turnaround ?

    Looking back, the fall-out from the Stoke home reversal on Sunday 9 November 2014 seems to have marked a massive turning point in our fortunes this season. That Stoke defeat was our fourth home reversal in six PL home games and murmurings were starting to be heard about the possibility of being...

    ManCHEATER United - cycnicism on an industrial scale under Van Gaal?

    Reflecting back on Sunday's game it suddenly came to me the number of times United cynically, clinically and seemingly systematically fouled us whenever we posed a threat. We could easily have had at least a couple of pens. Not saying we didn't do a bit of it ourselves, notably shirt-pulling by...

    Why are we such a pushover against the top sides?

    Daresay this question has been asked before on here but having done a search I'm blowed if i can find the thread, so here goes. Okay it follows that we are going to lose more games than we win against the top sides, but why do Spurs always seems to capitulate more readily than other sides...
