    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    I agree with the first bit, mainly because I've never bought into the theory that the crippling lack of transfers was purely down to Scrooge McLevy. Poch has to take some of the blame for failing to replace his ageing stars. My heart simply cannot countenance relegation being a good thing, however.

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    He may well have shut the door until the summer, hence the Tudor appointment. But with relegation now being a very real possibility, the club's #1 priority has to be avoiding that at all costs. The losses incurred by a season (or three) in the Championship far outweigh any release clauses or...

    Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - Licence To Stand

    Interesting. Up here in Manchester, the downturn in Manchester United's fortunes (and, no doubt, the brickness of their stadium) has resulted in lots of fans turning to local lower league teams instead – they get their football fix a lot cheaper and feel much more connected. It makes sense for a...

    ***OMT Tottenham Hotspur Football Club v Nottingham Forest***

    Richi, Tel, AND Solanke? 4-3-3? Or a slightly wonky 4-4-2? EDIT: Oh, of course it's a 3-4-3. Very attacking.

    Archie Gray

    Speaking as someone who took part in a penny farthing race a couple of years ago, those things are absolutely terrifying.

    Igor the Departed

    Excellent post, as always. Brentford's continued success reinforces the strength of their overall setup vs just one manager. As you say, some things were all a bit weird. Like the fitness thing. Maybe the lack of conditioning played its part in all the injuries – players pushing the limits of...

    Igor the Departed

    I agree, and I'm still shocked by it. Honestly, I was delighted with Frank's appointment - surely a manager who'd done so well with Brentford would be a success with a team full of potential? A classy articulate guy who'd lead us to glory. How could I have got it so wrong? It's really got me...

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Atletico Madrid ***

    If players don't know where to run, it's hard for them to play with intensity. More and more it seems like a lack of clear coaching.

    I was about to write exactly the same thing. Wow.

    Pedro Porro

    Definitely. Despite having no time for him at the start of his Spurs career – I like my defenders solid and he was anything but – I've really warmed to him. Great attitude, never gives up, seems a model pro too.

    +++OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Liverpool+++

    Absolutely. How on earth is that not a pen? Regardless of whether Richi could get a shot off, he was clearly impeded. FFS.

    It's usually the day we play Emirates Marketing Project.

    What was the trigger in our downward trend?

    This is the first time in 30 years that I've genuinely feared relegation. My pet theory is that it's all a question of momentum. Success breeds success – winning every week becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy, as you eke out those last-minute wins that bolster the feeling of invincibility...

    Champions League 25/26: Dortmund, PSG, Villarreal, Frankfurt, Slavia, Bodø/Glimt, Copenhagen, Monaco

    Absolutely this. Continental fans get to wave flares around, make monkey chants, etc. But three tossers making Nazi salutes at a club known for (and taking pride in) its Jewish heritage? Let's throw the book at them.

    Remember that penalty against Bentancur...

    EVERYONE knows that the PGMOL is a joke. Inconsistent decisions every single week. And it's not VAR that's the problem – it's the humans running it all. I've long supported the theory that bad decisions even themselves out over the season, but now it's just taking the tinkle.
