    U23s, Academy and Loanees

    If that was 94/95 with Klinsmann/Sheringham and us winning 4-1 I was there as a frozen 15-year old with snow & wind whipping off the North Sea!

    U23s, Academy and Loanees

    No I was on the side of the pitch opposite the dug out. I couldn't feel my feet by the end :p

    U23s, Academy and Loanees

    I went along as I only live 10 miles up the road. It was a very competitive game played at a fast pace. Spurs playing inverted FBs. Donley looks physically ready for men's football, he does like a Hollywood ball! Dorrington solid at the back alongside Tyrell Ashcroft who, although quite slight...

    Welcome Ange: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

    I agree with this. I think his system comes with deficiencies and we can be exploited badly on transitions if we don't win the ball back high up. Offensively we're somewhat toothless without Maddison. Our main tactic seems to be invert the full back, play it to the wide man who has come...

    Hugo Lloris

    I only go as far back as Thorstvedt but I'd say Lloris has been the best by a fair distance. The most consistent, a good captain and ambassador for the club who lived its values through the Poch era (aside from the d/d incident which seems to have been out of character). Prior to him I still...

    Antonio Conte - officially NOT the coach of THFC

    I think there are some questions to be answered around this but I don't think its totally cut & dried. Bissouma put in some poor cameos/starting performances, nowhere near what Hojbjerg/Bentancur were producing. Skipp has been returning froma a long-term injury. Both have looked a little...

    Antonio Conte - officially NOT the coach of THFC

    We have to look at the context around 2 games per week. Our record prior to CL participation was 4-2-0. Since CL midweeks its 4-0-4. The CL programme has been squeezed to once a week this season whereas normally its fortnightly and runs right through to early December. The intesity and pressure...

    Antonio Conte - officially NOT the coach of THFC

    Massive credit to Levy for going back to get this guy during those dark days in October/November. It has totally transformed our season. Yes, he got it badly wrong in the summer. But he held his hands up, acted early and has somehow managed to get Kane back onside and a world class manager in...

    The Limp Struggle to Sneak into the top 4 2021/22

    I do wonder if this is the stage where Conte should employ the old "Fergie mind games". It would be very easy for him to call out Chelsea's performance in his press conference - either this weekend and refer to United downing tools and/or mention West Ham next weekend. He could question the...

    The Limp Struggle to Sneak into the top 4 2021/22

    We have to be confident that we'll win the last 2 games - Norwich & Burnley. At least one of those will be relegated by then, possibly both. That gives us 6 points. The next 3 fixtures are therefore key to possibly pulling away and nailing down 4th. Brighton, Brentford & Leicester. If we...

    Cristian Romero

    That nasty streak would be a lot better focused if he'd put a reducer in on Ronaldo in the game instead of giving him a free run in the box because he can't seem to concentrate at set pieces. I'd much rather he'd given Ronaldo a dead leg, done his ankle or even kidney punched him when he lost...

    Antonio Conte - officially NOT the coach of THFC

    I think your reading is pretty accurate. It was a very odd outburst to have after you've lost a tight game 1-0. We had enough of the game to take something it wasn't a total down-tools non-performance. I was fine with his comments to Sky Italy last week but this seems to indicate a deeper...

    ****Tottenham Hotspur v Wolverhampton Wanderers****OMT

    Kane & Moura should not be tracking back into the box, they are on the edge of the box for a quick transition so they're excused for me. Looks like a catalogue of errors probably related to the new central midfield partnership. Winks should've pressed Neves to stop the initial shot. Instead...

    Mighty Spurs vs SCBC

    I wasn't there last night but I think the boos are because of the following reasons: 1 - "same players, different coach" - has never sounded truer. These same players have been producing performances like this for the last 3 years. 2 - Conte referred to it in his press conference. The...

    Dele Alli

    I remember at the time thinking if there was a choice between JM and Dele, Dele wins everytime. Little did I know the long-term damage done.

    Dele Alli

    If you look at some of Mourinho's early victories Dele was heavily involved. His opening game against West Ham was still the bright, bubbly Dele Alli. Involved, a piece of magic to send Son away to cross for Moura, balls in behind to Son & Kane. I don't think its entirely down to Mourinho but...

    Dele Alli

    My post was correct at the time of writing ;). Still waiting to see if they'll get deals agreed for Targett or Burn from Brighton. Let's see. I don't see anyone higher up the tree helping them out. Anyway thankfully we haven't sent Dele up there and he's going to Everton instead. Very best...

    Dele Alli

    Nobody in this league is dealing with them. The only deals they've managed thus far is Trippier from Atletico and Chris Wood where they had to trigger a release clause. Its well known Levy was livid that the takeover was waved through and was the most vocal in opposition. Unless there's some...

    Dele Alli

    They don't need much extra to actually stay up. That win at Leeds has given them a great chance. I'd rather keep Dele and have to fork out for his wages than send him there and see him keep them up. Its strengthening what will become a direct rival within 18 months. No no no.
