    Guglielmo Vicario

    I remember when De Gea arrived at Man Utd their goalkeeping coach talked about beefing him up to deal with different issues posed in the EPL. The opposition has identified a vulnerability and know Vic has to be helped to address it.

    Guglielmo Vicario

    Over here on NBC, Tim Howard was asked about Vicario's technique and said that rather than the 2 fisted "Superman" style that Vic had used, he felt that he should be punching one handed to bring some momentum to get the ball further away. That made sense to me as I felt that Vic really has...

    OMT: Mighty Spurs vs Brighton & Hove Albion

    It is always difficult comparing eras, but I am not talking about the 1920s! Miller's debut was in 1979. Less skilful you say? Brady for Arsenal and Hoddle and Ardiles for Spurs might beg to differ. The game may be quicker and the player's fitter, but I doubt it was easier. And more recently...

    OMT: Mighty Spurs vs Brighton & Hove Albion

    The problem with Royal is he does not have the nouse to play as a centre back. In the Villa game TV here highlighted how his positioning was all wrong for what ended up being a narrow offside goal. I'm no fan of Dier, but he has played the position. If Royal was good on the ball and excellent in...

    OMT: Mighty Spurs vs Brighton & Hove Albion

    In the end, we all have to admit that we don't have the full picture because we are not seeing the young players and even Dier in training. However, there does come a point where, based on Royal's poor performances as a centre back, that either the other options are so substandard that they do...

    Giovani Lo Celso

    The distinction as I see it is that Ndombele appears as a gifted individual who also appears unprofessional in his conditioning and unprepared to put in the hard yards and perform on both sides of the ball. I have not seen any sign of unprofessionalism with GLC. Instead, my impression has been...

    Re: (sorry John Pratt, never going to forgive the back pass that turned into a through ball against Arsenal) --- for the younger fans, here it is in all its ignominy -- as bad as I remembered it: https://youtu.be/4r-7t_IRxqY

    Giovani Lo Celso

    Given the negativety that some sections of the fanbase have meted out, I am pleased that GLC has demonstrated what a good player he is. You would think he was Ndombele the way he has been criticized! When he has had a run of games and allowed to play further forward, his quality comes through...

    A lesson for Harry from "Goliath"

    Not the Philistine giant but a documentary about the basketball great, Wilt Chamberlain. Here was a 7 foot plus super athlete who was so good that they changed rules to make him less effective. Who scored 100 points in a game. And who, at various times, was called a "loser" and a jinx because...

    On this day in..

    A special Spurs day! I was there, sick with what turned out to be glandular fever, but carried by the adrenaline of the day. For those who were not fans (or born!) then, the context makes it much more than the bare facts of a win against the local enemy. First semi-final at Wembley. A team that...

    Definitely not an out of car window Transfer Thread

    After how he played, you would think that there will be no shortage of offers --- playing at the bottom team in France's ligue 1. Of course, one should never buy based on performances in the World Cup. See, e.g. Dumitrescu, Ilie.

    I did although it was a learning experience. Getting up at 4:40 am on Monday, I ended up at place 5,000 in the queue, thereby getting to understand that I needed an earlier start. I was able to get seats for the W. Ham game although in panic and half asleep mode --- not exactly where I wanted...

    Looking to see if a trip to Milan (originating in USA) is feasible for me and 2 sons. Anyone dealt with any of the official travel sellers for a Europe bound trip? Any recommendations?
