    Transfer thread

    Unless you're Manbricky or Chelsea, you can't have 'differential' players in every position so, even in the best case scenario, we will have to make choices and pray that our best players don't get injured. Sometimes, it's worth buying a 'water-carrier' type of player if it means signing a...

    Marcos Senesi

    It looks like a good signing but Kerkez was also the bee's knees when Liverpool signed him and so far, he hasn't set the world alight there. Buying from clubs with an excellent scouting system (same with clubs with an excellent youth academy, by the way) can be tricky because, more often than...

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    I agree - he deserves way more stick than he'll ever get. I didn't like Postecoglou, but Frank doesn't belong in the same sentence. I'd add to your (imo, excellent) points that there are question marks over the technical part of his 'work' here. Tudor was said to be appalled at the fitness of...

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    A bit harsh on Curbishley.

    The "DM" thread

    Not crying about missed opportunities is certainly a healthy mindset when you play for Spurs.

    :grin: Needless to say, I don't watch interviews of our former managers... I'll see if my curiosity gets the better of me, but I kind of remember it was a fairly long one.

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    To be fair, I think Postecoglou was happy to be here and he saw the club's potential. He wasn't happy to be sacked, but that's another story. Conte wasn't happy but I'd say that his meltdown shows he did believe in the club's potential but he was frustrated with the people he had to deal with.

    For someone who prided himself in taking responsibality for everything, he's quick to blame others for his failures. Wonder what he's got to say about his time at Forest...

    Igor the Departed

    I don't follow Italian football enough to know whether that's still the case, but when Tudor was playing there, managers were highly respected people. Truth be told, I don't think he was too impressed with our players and our club culture which, at this point, was paradoxically closer to what...

    ***OMT - Tottenham Hotspur FC v Everton, Sun May 24th, 4.00pm, The Lane***

    Charles' (or Wayne's, in this case) conversation was flat as a sidewalk, a place of passage for the ideas of everyman; they wore drab everyday clothes, and they inspired neither laughter nor dreams. (Madame Bovary, believe it or not)

    João Palhinha

    Same for me. Nobody deserves it on the course of the whole season anyway but Palinha, despite having objectively less reasons to care than most of our players, scored the goals that kept us up. Just look at Kolo Muani - who's way more talented as a football player -, think about what would have...

    fudge me I thought that match was never going to end!

    ***OMT - Tottenham Hotspur FC v Everton, Sun May 24th, 4.00pm, The Lane***

    Whatever happens, I probably won't be posting on here until Sunday night or Monday but I'd like to echo @harr1984's sentiment: this place has been one of the few bright spots in a season absolutely riddled with disappointment and, sometimes, despair. I'm a very occasional poster if not a lurker...

    Cristian Romero

    To be honest, he did a lot more damage when he (apparently) turned up late for training in my opinion. He's a quality player (although I still think he'd be a much better defensive midfielder) and I share some of his comments about the owners but at this point, he's as good as gone, and that's...

    ***OMT - Tottenham Hotspur FC v Everton, Sun May 24th, 4.00pm, The Lane***

    I don't think anyone who supports this club will have a nice weekend, at least until 6pm on Sunday. Everton and Leeds are in a similar situation; there's very little to separate us from West Ham. We will start the match with a huge advantage, now it's up to the players to show that they deserve...

    ***OMT - Tottenham Hotspur v Chelsea, Tue May 19th, 8.15pm, Stamford Bridge ***

    I'd say the reaction to De Zerbi's first few games tells you all you need to know: everyone felt relieved. I wasn't into Postecoglou at all, but you can tell that despite finishing 17th, he will go down in the club's history as a much more beloved manager than Thomas Frank or Jose Mourinho...

    ***OMT - Tottenham Hotspur v Chelsea, Tue May 19th, 8.15pm, Stamford Bridge ***

    Many West Ham fans probably feel the same. Up until Wolves, they had momentum and we were going nowhere. The truth is, there's next to nothing to separate our teams. We're both very poor, for different reasons. Maybe they'll pull it off but, again, we hold all the cards at the moment. If we go...

    ***OMT - Tottenham Hotspur v Chelsea, Tue May 19th, 8.15pm, Stamford Bridge ***

    Think of it that way: would you rather be in our situation or in West Ham's? Out of the six possible results on Sunday, there's only one that leads to West Ham staying up. We might blow it - and I still think it would be a disaster for the club - but I've made my peace. When you play Russian...

    ***OMT - Tottenham Hotspur v Chelsea, Tue May 19th, 8.15pm, Stamford Bridge ***

    Let's hope the players have cooler heads than the majority of us on here! It's a shame we couldn't get the job done tonight but, more than ever, we remain in control of our destiny. West Ham have to win. They are very capable of that, but that's not a given either. Many people thought they'd...

    The we are staying up thread

    When you think about it, it's incredible to think that 80 minutes into the Wolves game, we looked as good as done and now we're one point away from safety. Let's not count our chickens but if we do survive, I really hope it will be a wake-up call and people within the club will use that horrible...
