    Micky van de Ven

    I find the most tiresome narrative being perpetuated inside and outside the fanbase at the moment is that Micky 'has clearly had his head turned and downed tools'. I'm not disputing this is a possibility but what I see is a still relatively young player who's being asked to play in a system...

    Interim manager thread 2.0

    As much as I love the idea of Harry for the reasons already mentioned it seems more and more absurd. I do think, pound for pound, Ange would be the most likely to instantly get the players onside and with full focus on league games I'd be most confident of us surviving. Now whether the board...

    Interim manager thread 2.0

    When we moved into our Billion Pound stadium to become a really serious club it was natural that within 7 years we'd have to be negotiating schedules with ITV to ensure that our preferred 2nd interim managerial appointment in a month could be available to help us avoid relegation.

    Interim manager thread 2.0

    I've always been an advocate for Harry - as long as there is a team of coaches working with him with very current experience of the existing squad and of the PL. Mason is one of those; Ledley, Defoe, Davies? Heitinga? The ludicrousy of Harry though is that it's now Cheltenham week - what would...

    Igor the Interim

    From what I've picked up over many years some managers appeal to some sections of the squad but are despised by others. Sherwood got a tune out of the young players (who knew him from U21 and for overseeing their development into first team) but the more experienced foreign players (Eriksen...

    The "If we go down" thread

    Without getting too philosophical...since I've started watching football well over 120 clubs have played in the professional leagues in England and we're just one of six that have never suffered a relegation in that period. Of the other 5 Chelsea had yo-yo'd during the early 80s and have only...

    Interim manager thread 2.0

    Obviously I'd be hugely intrigued by Klinsmann. Problem with him - and others who have been mentioned - it might give us fans a warm nostalgic glow but I'm just not sure they'd carry that same resonance with the playing squad and getting buy-in from players at training ground is going to be the...

    Igor the Interim

    As mentioned above the 12-minute collective brain fart before half-time isn't on him and you could conclude that having got 1-0 ahead we could well have expected to manage the game and win from there bar individual mistakes...but... That first 35 minutes was appalling - both teams were abysmal...

    Tottenham Hotspur Women

    I'm a casual fan of the women's team - circumstances don't usually arise for me to be able to watch them regularly but I found watching them today a really cathartic experience. Sure the scoreline was a little bit freak and you wont get that every week (in fact that's the first time I've ever...

    Is Gascoigne Going To Have a Crack? The Spurs nostalgia PODCAST

    Many thanks Rob! Really appreciate the feedback. I have tried to get in touch with Barmby but no joy so far.

    Is Gascoigne Going To Have a Crack? The Spurs nostalgia PODCAST

    New pod now out. A new format as I welcomed Saudi Sportswashing Machine fan and (fellow Pitch) author Andrew Nagy to be my guest. We looked at 5 games between Spurs and Saudi Sportswashing Machine during the 90s that helped define both clubs respective journeys through the decade. We also discussed some of the players who played...

    Is Gascoigne Going To Have a Crack? The Spurs nostalgia PODCAST

    I've had some provisional conversations with Gerry Francis about doing an episode on the podcast to discuss his 3 years in charge. He was a great help and contributor to my first book so don't want to just repeat the same questions from there. What questions/themes would you like to hear me...

    Is Gascoigne Going To Have a Crack? The Spurs nostalgia PODCAST

    and I stand by it...but also reserve the right to have changed my mind in 20 years time when I'm recording a 25/26 season review pod!

    Is Gascoigne Going To Have a Crack? The Spurs nostalgia PODCAST

    Oops...I've just been looking through the 1991 census just in case the population was small enough for Marlow to be classified as a Village...alas not - and appears to have had a Town Council since 1974. I'll put this right when I record my FA Cup 3rd round ties of the 90s bonus pod next week...
