    Mathys Tel

    I don't think anyone here can really make a case that he's been a world beater or a success so far. He hasn't been particularly impressive. So criticism of his performances are fair enough. Abuse isn't and I also think writing him off is massively unfair. There is a lot of context here: 1. He's...

    The Goon Thread

    I hate reading positive stuff about them or their players but I take my hat off to him for that. That's incredible - all credit to him.

    Mathys Tel

    This is why it's sometimes not the best idea to throw young players in early especially in a struggling team. Tel played last season, primarily domestically, when the team had pretty much thrown in the towel and it was an environment where everyone was doomed to fail. Throwing young players in...

    Djed Spence

    Udogie for me has a very, very high ceiling. I really believe he could play for a Real or Barca if he start avoid injury and play consistently. But I'd have Spence over him right now on basis of last night. He was exceptional IMO. As others have alluded to, his consistency and focus seems to...

    OMT - Tottenham Hotspur vs PSG

    He’s been here for 8 months. Most of those were spent in a very dysfunctional team who had thrown in the towel in the league. I hate saying something like this because everyone is entitled to an opinion but that’s a macaronic post.

    OMT - Tottenham Hotspur vs PSG

    Didn’t Hugo save 3 in the space of a few weeks once. Two crucial ones as well. One from Aguero in the CL quarter final and one from Woolwich which, in hindsight, got us 4th place.

    OMT - Tottenham Hotspur vs PSG

    Seeing Tel getting pelters in lots of places. Looks like we have our new spacegoat. The lad is a fudging kid. And a talented kid. Give him a chance to settle FFS.

    OMT - Tottenham Hotspur vs PSG

    He’d clearly instructed Solanke and Tel to not cross the halfway line. That invited relentless pressure. Of course, viewing tactics through the benefit of hindsight is incredibly harsh and he’ll look a genius if we do hold out. This game will be barely a footnote in our season so hopefully there...

    OMT - Tottenham Hotspur vs PSG

    Very disappointing to lose that way. Lots to be positive about. That was far far better than I expected. Thought there were so many good performances. The defence. The two signings. Bentancur. Richi. Sarr. Spence for me was outstanding. Unbelievable performance. But, but, but… There are some...

    OMT - Tottenham Hotspur vs PSG

    They haven’t been good but, in fairness, we absolutely sat in. Hard for attackers in those circumstances.

    OMT - Tottenham Hotspur vs PSG

    We invited it to be fair. Will be shocked if we win a shootout. If we get that far…

    OMT - Tottenham Hotspur vs PSG

    That’s a bloody good performance. We look very organised and deserve the lead. Lots of good performances. The new signings have been excellent as have the CBs and Spence. Be great if we can deliver something similar second half.

    OMT - Tottenham Hotspur vs PSG

    Wasn’t expecting that team. Will reserve judgement until I see how it plays out. Would have thought Dom is a better 9 than Richy though if we’re playing 1 up top.

    OMT - Tottenham Hotspur vs PSG

    Will watch but not massively bothered by it. Don't expect much. To me, it's a European Charity Shield so pretty much worthless in the "major trophy" stakes. However, I've seen other clubs, particularly The Dippers, talk about it like it's massive so if we did win it, I'll be talking it right up...

    Eberechi Eze

    I've heard a few people say this. Isn't Spence the back up there? I know he's primarily a right back but he looked better at left back last season. He can cover either side and in the unlucky event that both Porro and Udogie get injured, Davies or VdV are options there (with Danso or Dragusin...

    Yves Bissouma

    Never underestimate the ego of managers in the PL. And I don't mean that as a dig - you need an ego to do the job and I've heard many of them say it. That's why people take those jobs you think "this is going to ruin your career". They all believe they are the ones to turn it around. There is a...

    Yves Bissouma

    Shocked to see Biss in this sort of stupid trouble again. He needs to be sold for a number of reasons - he's lowering standards, it's utterly unprofessional, it strengthens the position of Frank. This, in itself, probably wouldn't be a selling offence but on top of all the other nonsense with...

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    Sorry, it's sloppy phrasing from me. As @ricky2tricky4city says, the theory is that we will have a covenant with the banks for the stadium loans that we can spend x amount of our revenue on wages. If it was up to ~60% as @ricky2tricky4city suggests then you would have to say that Levy is being...

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    Think Villa are ahead of us. Maybe Saudi Sportswashing Machine too. Either way, we spend the lowest percentage of our revenue on player wages in the league and pretty much have forever under ENIC. That’s true even allowing for stadium debt/repayments. I’ve always argued Levy should be more adventurous in this...

    Things we hate about modern football

    Same over here. There’s a real poisonous mindset developing around immigrants. Don’t get me wrong, while I’d probably advocate for more open borders than most, there is a very credible argument for managing immigration much better. I’ve no problem with that argument at all and it’s a discussion...
